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.

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 reverses in Suabia, will command the ca v% of the French army of the Rhine.— Its right wing will be under the command °:Gen.

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. [ Exeter paper . ] H E R A L D. ~ 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.
