April 12. The Hambu’gh rna ; l due on Wednesday lad, anived this morning, !lie contents of which are extremely important. This morninggovernment re rcivt ddilpatcbestiom Germany, brought by the packet, which I conveyed the Hamburgh mail, containing advices of the arch duke Charles's viftory over tlit* Fienrh forces under the com mand of general fourdan. 1 hefe accounts da 0 that the aid.duke has competed Jour chm to reciofs the Rhine with the Infs of near 20,000 men* ar -d all his baggage and artillery. The aftion dated in the lad! Trench Journals to have taken! place on the 23th ult. between; the archduke and Jourdan ap pears to have been fought with! great obflinacy. After much: bloodfhcd the Andrians remain-’ cd maders of the field; but the j vidory, wc arc forry to fay, cofL them the lives of many officers, among whom were fcveral ge-[ ncrals, bcfides a great number j of men. On the 26th, the arch-j duke appears to have been fol lowing up the advantage he had gained by preffing upon the French, whole ccntic, as dated in the lad Paris papers, was re treating to cover the paffage of the valley of Hell, while the left wing fhould cover that of the valley of Kinzig. In thde po fitions the French hoped to maintain their ground ti'l rein ! forccments fhould arrive. On the other hand, the Audrian, 'which is well appointed and ex tremely flrong in numbers hopes | to compel them to rccrofs the Rhine, or to force them to an other engagement, which it is hoped, will decide the fate of the campaign. The adions which took place on the 22d and 23d, between the left wing of the Audrian army under general Hotze, and the light of the French under Maffena, are alfo detailed at feme length in the accounts bv O J | this day's mail. r l he ad on on lire 23d, in which the Kronen were the adailants, \v:s very ■ bloody, and laded the whole of the day. Maffena was obliged i to rccrofs the Rhine, and the Aulliians have advanced lo that liver. Maffena has entrenched Ihimldf in the Grifon country, j General Fermo has alio been obliged lo icticat. The letters from It eland con linuc daily lo announce the fame I horrible details of outrage and 'diforder. No traces fectu to be •left of adual infunedion, but the country is laid wade by gangs of lavvlels banditti, who, on the o her hand, arc hunted with unceafingadthity. Whatafcene < f horror mull that country pie fent, when after men have betn put upon their deliverance by the laws of their country, and acquitted, it is . Hedged that the (juries are not free to p onounce an honed veidifcl, and the ac quitted per lons arc again feized to be tried by military law.

I “ This day arrived at this I place, three gentlemen. f loni I Natchez; they inform us, they I left that place on the 15th Fe- I bruary, in company with three I others, and on the night of the I 2oth of March, on the bank of 1 Tenneflee, were fer upon by I a party of Indians, whilft they I were adeep in 1 heir tent.

I A number of American vef- I ifels have lately been captured K by the Britilh, coming fiom La H Vera Ciuz, three of which be- I long to this port. The pretence I lor capturing them is, the old fl flory, of our not having a right I ■; to go from one Spanifh port to ■ another. Another pretence is, f | ’ that fome of ihe peifons to whom B I the vcflels belong, were bom II fubjefts of the king of Great- H I Britain ; therefore it is not po- B per that they (hould fupplythe B enemies of his Britannic majef- » ty with goods, &c.
