Head Quarters at Zurich, June 2. Citizens Directors, General Collaud, commanding the di vlfion of the Lower Rhine, gives me an account that on the nth Prairial, May 30, at two in the morning, he caused an attack to be made by gen. Darnaudat, command ing his advanced guard upon the enemy’s positions at Schrielheim, near Ladenburg, upon the right bank of the Necker. The enemy were beat in every part —our caval ry particularly distinguished themselves in this affair; they took from the enemy 130 horses, and made besides about 50 prison ers, among whom are 38 hussars of Szek lers, a captain and lieutenant of the fame regiment. The peasants of Odenwald had united themfelvts to the enemy. Their common loss in killed and wounded a mounted {Signed) MASSENA. A private letter from the fame general , of the fame date. The enemy not willing to attack the front of the line of redoubts which cover Zurich, had adopted the plan of turning us. It appears that a part of his line ex tends from Eglifau eventoßapperfchweil, and he endeavors to cut off our communi cation and our points of retreat; but his attempts will be fruitlefs. We hear a can nonade about a league hence—it is an af fair of advanced posts. The inhabitants of this canton, and particularly the people of the country, revenge themselves, not on the soldiers, but on the provision wag goners, and all those who follow the army for plunder. Majfena, General in Chief to the Executive DireClory of the French Republic. Head Quarters, Zurich, June 3. Citizens Directors^ The enemy attacked me yesterday in force bn my » Vgh* s oorweivmg this move ment a presage to a general attack, the next day I made, in consequence, all my disposition to receive it.—As I conj enur ed, the enemy commenced at day break this morning an attack on my whole line. After several hours contest, its principal strength and efforts were dire&ed on my right against the division commanded by gen. Soult. I was there in person. The enemy were desirous to possess themselves of all the positions which cover Zurich.— They advanced with great rapidity to the villages of Vitikon, Zolikon andßeifbach; they were carried several times, and were ss often retaken by our troops, at the point of the bayonet. The enemy resum ed their attacks with constantly encreafing boldness. I then made a general move ment on the whole line, and charged them on all points. It was about five in the evening. The enemy sustained our fliock with obstinacy, and it was not until within an hour of night that he yielded to us the field of battle, and withdrew from our po sitions, which have been consequently oc cupied by our troops. We have made about five hundred prisoners: The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded is very considerable. This may be easily conjec tured, citizens directors, from the length of the action, and the eagerness with which they exposed themselves to our fire. We have to regret five hundred killed, wound ed and taken prisoners. I cannot fuffi ciently commend gen. Soult for his judi cious dispositions. He has conduced himfelf with a degree of coolness and cou rage to be rarely met with. All the troops have done their duty; but I must make particular mention of the zeal and energy displayed by the superior officers, and those of the ftaff, in leading our soldiers on to the enemy. The general of division Cherin, is very desperately wounded by a musket fliot. The reputation for bravery of this distinguished officer is made. The whole army regrets, with me, that his wound deprives us of his services; we hope it may not snatch him from his coun try. Adjutant general Debiily is also wounded.—Since the 13th of May, a dav has not pafled in which the army has not been engaged in general or partial engage ments, eitheroffenfive ordefenfive, Health and refpeCL (Signed) MASSENA. P* S. I informed you, in my dispatches of yesterday, that the general Lecombe had made 1500 prisoners. I have this in ftant received a letter from him* in which he states them to amount to 2000; he hopes besides to take the entire battalion ofKinflcy, which has thrown itfelfintoa narrow defile from which there is no egress but by the Glaciers. The number of pri soners in that event would amount to 3000. —He now occupies positions at Wefen and Gefchienen. JHafena, General in Chief to the Executive Dire Clary of the French Republic. Head Quarters, Zurich, June 4. Citizens Directors , The enemy again gave 11s battle this morning at day break. They had receiv ed reinforcements for opposing us with frefh troops, and in superior numbers to the attack of yesterday. The enemy ad- . vanced with impetuosity against all my positions throughout the whole extent of my line. In the front were fifty cannon; they were every where received with in trepidity. I attacked ; the resistance was obstinate, but their efforts were vain. They were compelled to yield to the bra very and courage of our soldiers. —Never was any contest more bloody, the field of battle was strewed with the slain. The fight raged with the fame violence and fu ry till night. We made about 1200 pri soners, among whom were many officers taken in the midst of the ranks. Their loss in killed and wounded must be at leaf! 3000 men. Ours amount to about 306. Gen. Humbert was fiightly wounded by a ball. The reports of the prisoners and deserters agree, that prince Charles had the direction of this affair, that general Hotze has been dangerously wounded, and that another general, whose name was not known, was killed on the right fide of the army, where the enemy had confen trated their forces, and where I command ed in person. All our troops have per formed prodigies of valor, and have a thousand times braved death : they were set the example by their generals and offi cers of all ranks. I have appointed on the field of battle? citizen Brunei, chief of the 25th demi brigade, to be general of brigade, and ci tizens Burthe and Soult, the former my aid-de-camp, and the latter the aid-de camp of gen. Soult, his brother, to the rank of captains of cavalry and chiefs of squadrons. I request you, citizens direc tors, to confirm this nomination, as well as that of the officers who have this day diftinguiflied themselves, and whom I en treat you to promote. lam preparing to occupy a position upon the chain of mountains from the Albis, extending soy left to the Rhine and my right to the lake of Zug. I latisfied myfelt that of the Limmal was no longer tenable. (Signed) MASSENA. P. S. I have just heard that gen. Oudi dot, commander of the 3d division, has been wounded. By a letter of the 18th gen. Maffena states that he has taken a position upon the mountains of Albis. This movement commenced at day break, and continued till 4 in the afternoon, in fight of the ene my, who did not dare to interrupt it. In the affair of the 16th, the enemy had one general killed and three wounded. ■ * f PORTSMOUTH, June 26. Preparations are making here for a for midable expedition. Four large frigates in the bafon, and five or fix afloat, are equipping with the utmost expedition to receive troops. —The artificers employed on them work two days and three tides. Sundays not excepted. Fourteen revenue cutters from the different ports on this part of the coast, are likewiie colle&ed here, and were this day put under the orders of the transport board. Sir Jerome Fitzpatrick arrived here on Saturday, we understand to examine the accommodations of the different troop ftlips and to superintend the embarkation, which it is said, will take place early in the ensuing month. BOSTON, August 15. Capt. of the Constellation fri gate, has resigned his commission in the na vy. We understand this meafurc of the gallant tar to be owing to the (by him) un expected operation of the graduary rank designated in 1794 —by which Captains Talbot and Date are eftablifiied as his seni ors—whose commiliions were provisional ly suspended, on account of the difeonti nuance of building the (hips to which they were firft appointed. By the grade of 1794, the rank of the commanders of the navy commenced as follows ; Captains Barry, Nicholson, Tal bot, Dale, Truxton, Sever, Sec. PHILADELPHIA, August 23. Capt. Barren who was recently appoint ed to the command of Constellation, has arrived at New-York, and taken the com mand of that vessel. Commodore Trux* ton is at Amboy, Ncw-Jerfev. , TRENTON, August 26. The offices of the four departments of the general government, it is expected, will be removed to this city, and probably open ed for business in the course of this week. The secretary of the navy, the postmaster general, the comptroller of the treal'ury, the register of the treafury*and the auditor, have arrived in town. BALTIMORE, August 29. A third attempt was iaft night made to let fire to the row of frame buildings, ex tending from Gay to Frederick street; but was fortunately discovered a little before 12 o’clock, and extinguiflied when beginning to blaze. As every avenue to the place where the fire was placed, was fattened up from the street, there is strong reason to fufpedt some malicious person living in the neighborhood. It is much to be regret ted, that although a guard had been kept for several nights before the last attempt, the incendiary is as yet unknown. HERALD. AUGUSTA, WEDNESDAY, September ii, 1799 WE are sorry to fay that the accounts received by Yesterday’s Mail, have blasted our hopes and willies refpe&ing the cities of Philadelphia and New-York, and we are under the neceftity of mentioning as a melancholy truth, that the Yellow Fever, that scourge of human nature, is making its deftru6tive progress in those two im portant and commercial places. Many of the citizens are removing to the country — business is in a considerable degree fuf pende’d, and the voice of sorrow and of mourning is heard in the streets. No very important foreign news was received by the Northern Mail.—The new American Envoys tis said are soon to fail for Europe, the energy of ourgovernment, and our preparation for war, will in all probability secure to us a peace—a peace with France, and with all the world. The heft way to prevent evil is to be prepared to meet it, and should an accommodation take place with France, we are not there fore to imagine we are out of danger; we have a national charafter to maintain—and no part of the world but ourjelves interested in its preservation; tis not a peace or a good understanding with this , that or the other nation that we ought to desire, but a peace and good understanding with “ all mankind,” and this peace is only to be se cured by being in a situation to defy the efforts or villany of any nation. At Philadelphia, in the 24 hours ending the 22d August, 16 persons died. The total number of persons that died in the city of Philadelphia, for the 24 hours ending on the 23d of August at noon, were 18.—On the 24th was 21. —On the 25th and 26th, was 39. —On the 27th, was 13.
