September, 17* Private letters mention the marching of the Ruffian and British troops, for the neighborhood ofAlkmaar, where the ar my is drongly entrenched. Alkmaar has been summoned, and will be afTaulted. The grince of Orange has 5000 Dutch vo lunteers with him. A flotilla is ordered to bombard Amderdam, while 900 volun teer seamen attack the Dutch forts. The French threaten, and are making preparations for a general inundation of the country—but the Dutch will oppose the measure. Great numbers of Dutch troopsjoin the prince’s flag. As soon as the Ruffian and other rein forcements arrive, the army puflies for ward. Three reinforcements reached the army on Monday lad. September 19. ARMY OF THE RHINE. The Hamburgh mail due on Sunday arrived lad night. The mod important intelligence brought by it is from Switzer land and the Rhine. Tfce French have eroded the Rhine in order to divert the at tention of the archduke, and to oblige him to divide his forces. They are now ad vancing in two columns of nearly twenty thousand men each of Durlach and Heil bun, and seem to threaten the archduke by SchafFhaufen, while Maflena is to at tack him in front. His Royal highness therefore has quitted with a large part of his army, and has marched to Donauefchingen, in order to check the progress of the French army, in which the accounts from Frankfort fay he has been (uccefsful. General Hotze com mands the Audrians and Ruffians in the absence of the archduke. But Hotze, with an army so inferior to Maflena, can only aid driftlx cn thedefenfive. He is waiting anxiously Tor the reinforcements from Italy under gen. Kray. Lecombe is again mar ching againd Coire. Tiie French, it is obvious, have no idea of maintaining themselves in Suabia they will probably retreat as the Audrians advance. An article from Dielburg men tions, that they were defeated by the Audrians fix leagues from Heidelberg but by forcing the archduke to march into Suabia, they expert that Maflena will suc ceed in obliging the Audrians to evacuate Switzerland. The archduke has iflued a new circular letter to the princes of the Germanic cir cles, calling on them for their contingents. A letter observes that the prefentisthe mod favorable moment for Germany to recover its ancient frontier. In the elc&orate of Mentz, the people have unexpc&edly risen en made, driven the French back to Offenbach, and threa tened the city of Mentz, which, as well as Caflel, is declared in a date of siege. September 20. On Tuefday evening his majedy’s (loop L’Efpiegle arrived in Yarmouth Roads, with dispatches from the Britifli army in Holland. L’ Efpiele left the Texei on Sunday night lad. Eleven thousand troops, Britifli and Ruffians, were to move forward on Mon day from the Hclder to join the main ar my, and 5000 more were preparing to dis embark. The whole were in the highelt health and spirits. All the letters yet come to hand express the moll sanguine hopes of Amsterdam be. ing very speedily in our poffeflion, if the French, in their retreat did not inundate the country, for which, by accounts re ceived from the head quarters of the Bri tifli army it was apprehended they were making preparations. It is natural to suppose, however, that this is a mealure which the great majority of the Dutch would rife up to oppose ; and it is a mealure of all others calculated to’ unite that people againd the common ene my of civilized society ; for the people of Holland mud be convinced, that by a dopting lo desperate a measure as that of a general inundation, the French did not confider not only the future welfare, but the present exidence of a great proportion of the inhabitants of Holland. We know notiiing more calculated to open the eyes of what the French call the Batavian people than this mealure of de ftru&ion, which they meditated againd them. The idea of such a measure being in contemplation, however, was accelerat ing the landing artd march of troops, for it was conceived pofiible that we might press upon the French so fad, that they might not be able to accomplifli their mur derous »md diabolical designs. File Juno frigate, commanded by cap taid Dundas, had been lightened, for the purpoJe ot her failing up as near as polli ble to Amderdam, and Ihe was to be ac companied bv all the gun and other vef ie!s of force that could be adopted to the 1 navigation of the Zuyder Zee. Vice ad- miral Mitchell, whose judgment and [pi nt are equal to every emergincy, was him fe!f to command this armament, with his j flag displayed on board the Juno. | By accounts daiiy received by those who j flock in to range themselves under the flag of tne hereditary prince of Orange, there is every reason to suppose that the main body of the Dutch troops at Amster dam and Rotterdam will, at the approach of the combined force, join the Orange flag. > . ’ . ' . Our army had remained quiet in their pofirion till Sunday morning lass. When die reinforcements, reached them, which would be on Monday last, they were ex pelled to advance. OF PRUSSIA. The determination of Prullia to remain neutral is confirmed, and Saxony, in fol lowing the example of Pruflia, has expli citly declared to the diet, that Ihe will take no part in the war of the empire. Another embafly is to proceed to Berlin —Count Bellegarde has been appointed ambaflador from the emperor of Germany, and prince Callitzin from the emperor of Ruflia. Whether the objeft of the two powers is again to urge his Prufiian majel ty to enter into the war, we know not ; a Ruffian army of 120,000 menisfaid to be railing on the frontiers of Poland. CHARLESTON, November 28. The following is communicated by capt. Hewit, late commander of the brig Experiment of this port , who arrived on Friday lajl , in the J loop Harriet , captain Roberts , from St. Chrifiopher's. “ I was captured on the 10th Sept, by a brig mounting eight 6 and four 12 poun ders, and 130 men; myfelf and crew were taken on board the privateer, where I re mained until the 16th, when I was put on board the brig Lord Nelson, of and from Halifax, a prize to the said privateer, and arrived at Guadaloupe on the 29th, where J remained until the 24th O&ober, when myfelf, with 49 fellow fufFerers, were put on board a cartel for St. Christopher’s un der a guard of 20 armed soldiers, black and white. “ Every American veflel that arrived in Port Liberly while I was there, had the A merican flag hoisted union up, at the mail head, and the French flag at the ensign ftaff; every master of a veflel was put on parole, and the agents of the privateer paid two dollars per day for their board and lodging.

In the night between the 6tb and 7th, the French commenced the bombardment upon Philiplburg, which lasted ever since —lt is said a great part of the city is al ready laid in allies. From Mayence, the French have ere&ed a bridge of boats to wards the quarter of Philiplburg.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 7. This day about 20 Britilh and Ruffian men of war and other veflels with Ruffian troops, failed from Helfigoer for the North Sea. From Algiers we learn, that since the rupture with France, there is but little in tercourse between Algiers and Europe.— There is the bell understanding between admiral Nelson and the Dey ; and the lat ter has allowed the Britilh to carry provi sions from his ports to Mahon and their fleets. Thirteen corlairs lately failed from Algiers to cruise against the French. BORDERS OF SUABIA, Sept. 6. In the fall.a large Ruffian army, from 60 to 70,000 men, may be expe&ed. The army which the Archduke Charles is collecting in Suabia, will, including the corps of Stzzarray and Meerfeld, conflft of 65,000 men. It is thought that the Im perial army will cross the line between Waldlhut and Bafle, in order to fall into the rear of general Maffena’s army, in which quarter the French are conftruCting entrenchments to prevent the enemy’s crossing.
