STRASBURG, July 24.
I \Ve learn from Bern, that a camp for
■ ic,ooo men has been marked out near Fri-
I bur<s which is to be the corps of reserve
I under gen. Hardi.
P A letter from Bade of the 17th states,
I mat the Aurtrians are very weak in that
I quarter, and that the French are daily re-
I ceiving reinforcements. The former have
■ (truck their camp in front of Zurich, and
I pitched behind that city; their artillery
I has also been sent further back.
I FRANKFORT, July 30.
I Yefterdav the firft serious engagement
I has been fought in this neighborhood.—
I Upwards of 600 Szeckler hussars attacked
I the French (rationed betweeu Hoehft and
I Rcedelheim, and drove them from the vil-
I lages which they occupied; a whole
I French battalion was partly dispersed,
I partly cut in pieces, and 40 French chaf-
I fears-with two officers, were brought pri-
I toners to Heufenftamm. At Neu Yfen-
I burg there are eighty wounded French
I soldiers, and this city has been requested
I tofer.d ftirgeons to dress them. There are
I also some at Niederrod. The Austrians
I certainly occupied Hoehft, after this en-
Igagement, but returned to Offenbach in
I the evening, whither they also carried 15
«f their own wounded.
Tney talk much of a conference which
is to take place at PeagUe, between the
emperors of Germany and Russia, and the
kings of Sweden, Oreat-Britaiu and Prui‘-
fia.
HAHAU, July 30.
In the night of the 29th the hussars of
Sheckler, joined by 200 hussars in the ser
vice of the ele&or of Mentz, took prifon
ersor cut in pieces near Hcehft, a compa
ny of the French hussars of Chamboran.
This created such an alarm at Mentz, that
the small camp near Hockheim was under
arms all yesterday. The French have now
entirely retreated from the environs of
Hoehft.
Gen. Hautpoult, whom gen. Jourdan
accused so much of being the cause of his

l,l ZParagraph appears in this even
ing's Courier.
W e n • Courier-Office, 2, P. M.
isfaiH tns press to fay, that an express
nave Just arrived to government
with an account of the hoflile FLEET
BEING OFF IRELAND—We suppose
tne enemy have divided their fleet, one
part has been sent to Ireland, and another
is going to Rochefort and Brest.
This morning, about one o’clock, dis
patches were received at the admiralty of
fice, from admiral lord Keith. They were
brought to England by the Telegraph hir
ed armed brig, which was dispatched by
lord Keith on the 31st ult.—on the 27 he
had passed the gutt of Gibraltar with 31
fail of the line, and when the Telegraph
parted company, the Britifli fleet was off
Cape St. Vincent, (landing to the north
ward with a press of fail. Should lord
Keith not have fallen in with the combin
ed fleet, he will probably pulh on towards
Brest, and there wait for the approach of
the enemy. It cannot be long before we
have further accounts from him, and
ftiould he be fortunate enough to fall in
with the enemy we have little doubt of
these being of k the moftpleafingkind— Sun.
August i 5.
By the admiralty dispatch it is now
known that lord Keith arrived at Gibral
tar on the 2 ift ult. the very fame day on
which the combined fleets failed from Ca
diz. But he was detained during nine
days by contrary winds, before he could
effect his paflage through the Straits. His
lordship was on the 30th ult. a little to the
southward of Cape St. Vincent, which
strengthens the probability of his being a
ble to come up with the enemy, of whose
coarse he was apprised.
BOSTON, October 4.
It is reported, that a vessel has arrived at
Marblehead from Biboa, and has brought
news that the valorous French and Spanish
admirals, with their refpe£tive fleets, have
got Jase into Brest.
NEW-YORK, Oiftober 4.
The following information is handed by captain
Jones, of the brig Jane Maria , arrived
yesterday from Curracoa.
R. Jones, master of the Jane and Ma
ria, failed from Curracoa the 14th August.
A few davs before he failed, the governor
of that Island found out a plot of the
French (that cruel nation ; who not fatif
fied with what they can plunder and steal
on the high seas, wish also to plunder on
the land :) they intended to take possession
of the island, put the governor to death,
and a number of merchants, and to make
prizes of the Americau vessels that were
in the harbor, which was at that time 21
in number. The governor has taken up
the French general and ambassador that
were sent to Curracoa by general Touf
faint of St. Domingo, and sent them to
Port-au-Prince in the ship George of Phi
ladelphia, and also Mr. Gredat, who was
French consul some time at Curracoa : he
is too well known to a number of our mas
ters of vessels and many merchants in dif
ferent parts of the United States, whofuf
fered by his villainy. He is under close
confinement, and no person allowed to
speak to him. Just as I was failing out of
the harbor, there was a ship coming in
from Surinam that brought the account of
the Britifli having possession of that place.
Tefte) day arrived the Britijh packet Jane,
captain Jones, 43 days from Falmouth via
Halifax —By whom we have received Lon
don papers to the 16th August , from which
we feleft the following :
Os the FLEETS— The LATEST.
By the arrival of the packet, we are en
abled to inform our readers (in contradic
tion of what appeared in a morning paper
yesterday,) that the Britifli fleet is arrived
in Torbay, and the French and Spaniards,
having escaped the vigilance of the British
admiral, have anchored in Brest roads.
Nineteen fail of the line, under the com
mand of admiral lord Bridport, were lying
in Torbay, on the 14th August.

A U G U S T A,
WEDNESDAY, October 23, 1799.
UNDER their proper heads may be
found most of the important intelligence
received by Yesterday’s Northern Mail—
the European accounts are chiefly from
the Baltimore Federal Gazette, and of un
questionable authenticity. The rapid suc
cesses of the French arms under the impe
tus of early enthusiasm, has been followed
by as rapid reverses, and disasters as num
erous as ever confrafted the efforts of any
nation, or contributed to afford a splendid
exhibition of the mulability of fortune, or
the viciflitudes of human life. From ac
ting offenfiveiy against all the world the
French now seem to think of the proprie
ty of defending themselves, and from the
aim at univerial dominion, their views are
turned to the security of their own territo
ries. Happy would ic be for this infatu
ated nation, if in the difafterous situation
of its external affairs, its domeflift con
cerns exhibited a more pleating appear
ance But when the news is announced
of the loss of Alexandria, and Mantua,
of the defeat of Buonaparte, and the almost
total deftrudtion of his troops, difcontenls
in the people, jealoufys and defe&ions in
the councils, and the reciprocal accusa
tion of public officers, join to accumulate
their misfortunes, and to hasten events the
retult of which can be known to the Om
nipotent only.
WHEN we conffder the perpetual
revolutionary situation of France—her va
rious experimental constitutions—the con
fufion of her councils, the treacherous
villainy of her public officers, and the un
parehed wickedness of herprogrefs from
the commencement of the Republican era*
how grateful ffiould we be that an over
ruling Providence has blessed us with a go
vernment wife in its origin, just in its
principles, and upright in its administra
tion ; which by the firmnefs and de
cision of its measures has hitherto pre
served us, from those commotions which
once seemed calculated to envolve all
mankind.
THE prudence of Buonaparte was
never perhaps more conspicuously display
ed, nor the propriety of his orders more
felf evident, than in the instance after his
defeat at Acre, when he directs his naval
officers to avoid all intercourse with the Bri
tijh Fleet. »
SOME papers evincive of counter
revolutionary principles, have tis said been
circulated in different parts of France, and
favourably received, one containing the
out lines of propositions for restoring
Monarchy will appear in our next.
WE ardently wish some kind of go
vernment may be there established, which
will secure peace to the nation and ensure
happiness to the people.
THE Governor of Maryland has by
Proclamation, permitted the re-eftablifli
ment of the in tercourfe between Philadel
phia and Baltimore, which we with plea
sure notice as an evidence of such a de
cline of the late epidemic in the former
city, as to remove all apprehensions of
danger.
