BULLETIN FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE oF DECEMBER 23d, · 1800. No. XXIV. Downing Street, December 23, 1800. A DISPATCH, of which the following is an Extract, dated Head-Quarters, Muhldorf on the Inn, Thursday, 4th December 18c, has been received from William Wickham, Efq; by the Right Honorable Lord Grenville, His Majefty's Principal Secretary of State for the Foreign Department: THE Army marched in the Night of Tuesday, and before Day-break Yesterday Morning, towards Hohenlinden in Three Columns; the Centre along the Great Road to Munich, which paffes through Hohenlinden; the Right and Left in the Woods on each Side of the Great Road The Corps of General Kienmayer, which was deftined to take the Enemy in Flank, marched from Dorfen in the Direction of Schwaben. The Columns ought all to have arrived at their Deftination a little before Day-break, or at the latest between Eight or Nine o'clock; but from a heavy Fall of Snow and Sleet, which continued all Night and the greater Part of the Morning, the Centre Column only was at its Deftination at Eight 'Clock, whilft both the Left and Right were ftill confiderably confiderably behind; and the Left, under General Rifch had, befides, loft its Way, and marched to the Left towards Eberfberg, instead of turning to the Right, in the Direction of Hohenlinden. In this State of Things it appears, that the Divifion of General Richepance pierced between the Left and the Centre about Nine o'Clock, got upon the Great Road behind the Centre, and fell upon the Left Flank and Rear of that Column at the 'T'ime that it had formed in Front, and had just begun to attack the Enemy's Pofition. I have not yet been able to obtain any accurate Account of what paffed afterwards; but it feems that the Difor der foon became irretrievable, and that the Retreat towards the Heights of Ramfau was made with very heavy Lofs, particularly in Artillery. Generals Spauiorchi and Löppert are Prifoners. 1 have not yet heard of the Lofs of any other Officers of the fame Rank. General Kienmayer was attacked on his March by Two Divifions from Aerding, and fuffered alfo feverely in his Retreat, which he made upon Ifen in good Order, on learning the Difatter that had befallen the Main Army. 22 INDEX.
