¥ | ''HE female tyrant of the north, tfie
X Emprefsof Russia, is always threaten
log ua with her fleets and armies, and is as
constantly humbled with a copfcioufnef* that
neither of them can ever hurt us. Some
accounts fay that 15,000, others 20,000, and
some even fay that 30,000 Rnffiaua are on
•their march to join the two combined armies,
under the Duke of Brunswick and the King of
Prussia. It is certain however, that these
troops havemot yet palled the frontiers of
Poland ; and it may be added that the 40,000
Ruffians attually iu that Kingdom arc fcaue
fufficient to keep in aw* a people irritated by
flaveiy, .&ad the opposed faftions which are
ready to tear each other to pieces r As to
the Ruffian fleet which was to have insulted
our coasts, they did indeed fail as far on their
way as Denmark, but for want of a fufficien
cy of men were obliged to return to Cron
ftadt, so that they now cannot possibly leave
the Baltic till next june;
The alliance of the two rival powers of
Austria and Prussia, has given the most ft
rious discontent to all the great statesmen of '
the latter; and has actually produced a po
litical schism in the court of Berlin, pregnant
wic'i danger to the Iling, the of
which no man can pie end to calculate.
The war into which Frederic the 3d hcs
been dnwa has created general discontent
throughout his dominions, which is daily in
creating, and of which the explosion will,
sooner or later, be terrible. The uaaon com
plain that the war wi; i France is exhausting
the treafurei heaped up-by Frederic the ad,
and recruiting is become so difficult, that
the King cannot be supplied with a reiofore
meut of only 30,000 men, that he has wrote
for.-
LONDON, Oft. 7.
We received intelligence y.fterday from
France, that the Duke of Brunswick’* army*
reduced by fatigue and fi .knefs, has com
mence! tts retreat from the French territo
ries. More than 8000 tick are fta<ed to
have been left behind in the military hofpral.
Gen. Bononviile hangs upon their rear with
20,000 men, and has already captured a
part of their baggage.
It is thought that they wi'#find it extremely I
difficult to malts good their retreat, Gen. /
Cud: 3 luffing received orders to lay wafle
the country through which they had to - p.ifa,
and particularly to deftioy all the forage.
The fame accounts Irate, that the AuftriaOs,
finding it impoifible to take Tbionffille bras- 1
fault, and not hiving time to make them
feives matters of it by regular approaches
have raised the siege,
It is, however, tenoned, that this retreat
of the Piuffians is only a feint, to draw Du
mourier out of his flrong hold, and tp attack
him to advantage.
By letters from Paris we learn, that the
AfTemblr received a dispatch from the hree
comm Aimers, M. .Sillery, Prieur, and Car
ra> informing that the Doke of Brunswick
raised his camp on Sunday afternoon with
great precipitation, and made his retreat,
—that Domourier had attacked his rear,
and that 24 waggons loaded uniforms,
with their escort of 200 men, halßfallea into
the hinds of the French; that the main bo
dy 0* the French arcay was oa match to har-
YoL. YIII. N& 3.28.*!
rafs their# retreat, and that dispatches hatJ
been Cent to Gen. Cuftiae, to Gen. Wim
peflen, Gen. Btton, 6tc that in every di
rection their retrograde motion might be m
• terrupted.
One letter (fates, that 5000 Pruffitns and
Austrians had been left tick iu the hofpittls,
abandoned to the benevolence of the Fiench t
and that Gen. Cuftiue with 40.000 men,
being advanced iu their direct route to Cob
lenz, would certainly iutercepttheir march;
and that alb which the D.ke of Brunswick
had now to atch'eve, was to briog off hie
dispirited army without loss; the fubftanre
of the above was officially communicated to
the Convention on Tuefdiy ramming.
To our own accounts from Pit is, it is our
dut* to add what have come to government
ftom Bnilfels—Lord Elgin traufmuted at)
account that the Imperial Miniftei hid receiv
ed an eflafe'te from the Baron de B eteutl,
dated from Verdun, in which he ttate«, that
the truce which the D -ke ot Brunfwir* had iu _
his clemency granted to the French, ho ! ex
pired that day, the y>'b, and rhv h-vi g
refufed this last offer ot rftsrcy, the I) k hii
determined to attack them in five p >mts.
Ti> this was added, that the melfe-iver <n«i
• setting out with tbit heard \ hr (ft.
cannonade, which of course was the com-
Wencement of the battik.
The tenor of this dispatch was in erpretei
into a complete viftory. The raising of the
camp was thought to be only a manceovre, r>y
which 'that able and expeiienced General,
the Duke of Brunswick meant to draw out the
raw, blind, confident hods of France, more
certainly in his power. Nay some averted,
that a (ecoud dispatch to Brufieli, had brot* '
an account of the success of the fltstagem, and
of the total defeat of Dim uner. M. de
Bretui), they said could not be mitt ken
about the mtvntious of the combined armies,
and that therefore their flight was impotiible.
We flare the dispatch and "tile reafumng
upon it corredly.
The f> 11 >wit!2 notice was fiuck up at Loyd’*
Coff:e House, on Friday as erooou, aa the
la ell Intelligence from 3ruflel*.
“ Baron de Bteteuil lent an exprefa to
i Count Matternich, at Buflels, from the
King of Prufiia’s gamp, hating that Dumou
rier had demanded* a truce ts twenty fours,
which he had afterward* prolonged, by an
c* ifice, to four days. That the King of
Prussia at length becoming impatient, had put
an end to it, and that on the 28 h of Septem
ber, had attacked the French iu five quarters ;
but that the event was not decided when
the express came away.”
Dispatches were lately received by the
National Convention from *hev department of
Landes, informing the Amenably of an inva
sion by the Spaniards, and requeuing that
Commiffi mers might be feat to Bayonne, on
the fouthem frontiers, to conceit such mea
sures as might be most proper for the defence
of the country.
When intelligence was brought to Geneva,
that the French had entered savoy, the coun
try was immediately declared to be in danger.
The citizens were thrown into gieat coulter—
nation ; and the council resolved, by a majo
rity of 800 against 700, that an aoX'!iar7
body of 1 6qo men ffiould be requeued from
the Helvetic Cactoj.fi ios their defeuce. V~r
