I a letter from Kingston, dated the Bth I instant, received by the Montezuma, fays— “ Accounts are just received from Je- I rernie, informing, that a defpejate battle had been fought between the armies of Touiffant and Rigaud, in which Rigaud tv'-s defeated with great llaughter, and him le!f wounded.” Other accounts from Hispaniola state, that Ri°aud occupied Genaives and Petit Trau. At the latter place, all the whites are fait! to have been massacred. Tcuiffand's party, (the negroes) are de nominated “ Aiiftocrats that of Rigaud, (the mulattoes) “ Republicans." The lat ter have exercised the mod unheard of cru elties upon such of their enemies as have fallen into their hands. August 6. A letter receiyed by the schooner Lis bon, arrived at the fort in 36 days from Lilbon, mention that 3 Spanish 74’s have been taken by the British and carried into Gibraltar. Letters from London, received in this city by the Chesapeake, mention the total overthrow of the French armies. A letter is received in town of the 17th of June, from Lilbon, brought by the fcfiooper Lilbon, capt. Cox, which states; “ That the French fleet were still in Tou lon, blockaded by lord St. Vincent with 22 fail of the line—that the Spanish fleet had put into Carthagena, in a most deplo rable situation, said to have been from their express determination not to join the French fleet.” No mention was made of 3 tail or" Uks t'iiie iVf«>rted to have been sent into Gibraltar bv the Englilh. Accounts had also been received at Lilbon of the res toration of the king of Naples to his king dom, and of the total deftrudlion of the French armies in Italy. BALTIMORE, August 8. We yesterday publilhed, as we received the accounts of the disasters of the French armies; but on reflection, are of opinion that they are fabrications. Those advices were two days later from London, and from Turin to the 24th May, at which timeMoreau’s head quarters were at Couir. On the 13th May (2 days after the date of Suwarrow’s forged letter) an affair of posts only took place in the neighborhood of Aleffandria, between which time and the 29th April no general atiion had taken place, nor indeed, even up to the 24th of May. We did our duty in expeditiously detailing the intelligence as it came to hand, but we think it likewise necessary to lay before such of our readers as do not take time to make their own observations, the ground on which it rests. HER A L D. AUGUSTA, WEDNESDAY, August 2 i,* 1799. FOREIGN OCCURRENCES. IN Italy and Switzerland fortune seems to smile, and uninterrupted fuccels to attend upon, the Ruffian and Austrian forces—Religion, moral propriety and public order, are regaining those antient possessions from which the revolutionizing exertions of unprincipled despots had ex peled them. Frorq the account given by the French general in Switzerland, to his government, we find he is advancing back wards with lingular rapidity, and Ihould he be enabled, as we have no doubt he will, to continue his retrograde progression, he may hereafter have it in his power to force his way within the acknowledged limits of the French Nation; and on the principle of military or political sociability, tis not improbable that he may be escorted, or attended to the neighborhood of the Di dire&ory by the combined armies. The Many Headed Monster will in ail likelihood in the courfeofthe present year;experience some of the blessings resulting from that system of war and disorder for which it has manifefted such a uniform predilection.— News intereftingand important may fhort !y be expeCted from the Mediterranean— The objeCts of the French and Spanish armaments whicKentered that sea, has been Iruftrated by a divifiort of the squadrons, and tis not improbable that previous to their re-union they may change their com manders. The conduCt of the American government is a fubjeCt of aftonifiiment to the Directory of France—defeated in their places—fruftrated in their intrigues, their insidious policy rendered ineffectual by the wisdom of the American Executive, and their designs overthrown by the union of our citizens, they begin to alter their tone, and to think of treating with refpeCt those whom no villainy could corrupt, and no threats intimidate. Merlin is now Presi dent of the Directory in place of Barras— The new President is the medeft man who did not desire any part of the docieur de manded of the American ministers, be cause he was provided for out of the pri zes taken from American merchants. DOMESTIC AFFAIRS. The 17th of July, the anniversary of the diff)lution of the treaties between the United States & Fi ance, has been celebrated in Bos ton, Hartford and several other places with ipiendid dignity; from this era may be tru ly dated the real Independence of our country: previously thereto, the unfuf peCfing virtue of our citizens, and their ill direCfed gratitude, gave an extendve op portunity for the injurious exercise of French influence. The duties paid to our government on the cargo of the (hip Nep tune lately arrived froui China, amount to feventy-five thousand dollars.—A marble monument has been ereCted at Lexington, in commemoration of those who firft fell in the cause of the American Revolution; this does not appear like a decay of the fpirie which eflablifned our national sove reignty. The Aurora, the Argus , and the Connecticut “ Bee ” are found to be vehicles of pretty accurate information, but the mode of getting at the information to be relied on, contained in these papers, is ge nerally, to reverse in toto, the statements they make, and then with a reafonabie allowance for exaggerations, their accounts will stand tolerably correCL The Editors of these papers are ufuaily as independent of truth as propriety in their statements, and the ardour with which they advocate French principles and French policy, is only to be equalled by their infamous vi rulence against the government of their own country. —Joseph Perkins a private soldier having been convidte'd of desertion in the state of New-York, and the part for bearance of the government having failed to produce the beneficial effedls wiflied for, and this difgraceful offence continuing to be repeated, the- exercise of legal severity became absolutely necessary, and the cri minal was executed with awful folemnitv at Fort Jay, on the 24th ultimo.—We have from various parts of the continent the pleasing accounts of general health and plentiful crops. Commodore Truxton, it is Paid, has re signed his command in the navy of the United States. • [ Gaz. U. S , By Yesterday’s Northern Mail. NEW-YORK, August 3. On Saturday afternoon arrived the fliip Boyne, captain Reed, 47 days from Lon don, via Portsmouth. By this veffd London papers are received to the 10th of June, inciufive, which are three days later than any European information heretofore had from tnat quarter. LONDON, June 9. The Hamburg rmi! of the 31st arrived in town iaft night by express, and has bro’t the important intelligence of the TOTAL DEFEAT cf the FRENCH ARMIES in Italy, the junction of the Imperial ar mies in Switzerland, See. After a battle which Lftcil 14 hours, % Moreau, severely wounded, with three of his generals, and 6000 men have been made prifnners by the Ruffians, who left Scoo of the enemy dead on the field of battle. A letter from Milan, of the 15th, states, this aftion to have decided the fate of Ita ly. The Ruffians on the 14th took Va lenza, by afl'ault.-—Alleffandria, as well as Turin, is now in poflellion ; and the Pied montefe peasants have occupied mount Cenis, and thereby cut off the remnant of Moreau’s army from France. DEFEAT of MACDONALD’S ARMY. A letter from Berlin, of the 28th ult. states, that a messenger had that day arriv ed from Italv, with advice that the corps of general Macdonald, which had advan ced through Tuscany, for the purpose of joining the army of Moreau, had been at tacked by the Auftro Ruffian army, near Lucca, and totally defeated ; and their commander made prisoner. From the Hamburg Mail. o Milan, May 14. The following letter of field marshal Su warrow has been publiflied here : “ On the 13th instant, at 5 o’clock in the morning, the French were attacked by the Imperial and Ruffian army, in their strong position between Turin and Coni. The battle was one of the bloodied, and lasted till night. It will beone of the mofl remarkable in hiftory, and terminated at last in our favor. The French have left 8000 men fiain on the field : 6000 prison ers are already in our power. YY r e had 3000 men killed or wounded. The French have loft almost all their artillery; 150 pieces of cannon, and 200 ammunition waggons are already in our poflellion : four of the enemy’s generals are taken prison ers, among whom is the commander in chief, Moreau.” LETTER EXTRAORDINARY. To the French Directory, on their lajl overthrow in Italy. 13th Prairial. “ Citizens Hire Hers ! I write this from the field of {laughter !—The dejlinies have dealt some stubborn blows on all around ! If the ene my have not been made to bite the dull, the fault is none of mine ! —YVe have had more than common powers to contend with !—The treachery of Britain has found means to combine some o lour own ele ments against us !—The /now, at the foot of the Alps, though frozen fifteen feet in folidtty, at my command, basely yielded to the pickaxes of the Rufjian pioneers : and ;he and the Po , halted in their course, to give the enemy fafe paftage ! —I denounce these wayward elements , as no longer obe dient to the will of the Great Nation!
