B A L T I M O R E, Jae 4
On Friday evening last the brig Cuuning-
Jiani, Capt. Cunningham, arrived ar New-
York, in forty-nine days from London- j
jerry 5 and on Monday the (hip E'/ptnitiint,
Capt. M«Colmont, arrived at Philadelphia,
from Dunkirk, from whence he (ailed on the
517th of Oftober, at which period the Repub- '
lie of Frame was entirely evacuated by the! 1
•rmiea of the combined powers, whose ter- \
ritcriea, in turn, had been invaded by the j
victorious troops ot France, who expeAed
to reach B'ufficls without much difficulty. (
From late French and Iriih newa-papera, |
brought by the above meniioi cd veffiels, the
following intelligence is extrafled.
ROME, Sep'. xp.
fn this place the ft .ends of ih» French are
-tnore numerous than c uld he imagined,
and the people want nothing but a leader to
truth the P<*pal authority, and reicue them*
Yelves from fuperttitu n anduppuffion.
Four thotifand men we<d Lff week railed
and ordered to the bat ks «i the Tyber. They
deOred to k’io«v for what purpose they we>c
ambodied, but their requ.fition was denied.
H wever having come to the kcowle l«e that
they were to embark for the purpose of assist-
Jiir the Abflrians to fight againfl* the liberties
ot France, tbofe citi2eni-fb!diets, to a man,
Jaid down tbe r aims, and fold their regi
mentals to the Jews.
VIENNA, Oft. 6.
The Police of this cif; redoubles its utmost
attention, to watch foreigners as well as the
' fubjefts of the Emperor, who may be infeft- e
ad with the fpint of liberty..
According to the -'bfervations which have
fjeen fornc time making, it has been difeo
vefed, that those citizens whose attachment,
to the country was most depeuded upon, arc
the declared enemies of monarchical govern
ment, and have every where endeavoured
to make proselytes to this opinion. It is
* found that perfr ns of all daffies and condi
tions arc in these clubs ; it is feared there
fore, that the tempt A, which must bur ft
upon them, will he the more dreadful.
BRUSSELS, Oft. 17.
Wr here from the provinces of Namur
and Luxemburg, that the army of their Royal
Hihgneffiea, Monficur and the CounU’Artois,
is d.fbanded, as well as that under the com
r*and of the Duke de Bourbon, the indivi
duals of which these armies were composed
are in tVc greatef) d ftrsfs, wandering and
diperfed, without knowing where to go, or
what in to become of them; many without
money; others felling their hotfes, watches,
and even their clothes. We have seen some
With no other covering than a blanket. A
great many have got only the shirt upon
their backs, and a*e wading through thick
aud thin, with half a pair of ihoes. All these
poor and unfortunate men have go- the ir
difeharges in their pockets, aud anxiously de
lire to return to their native coeotry. It is
to be .hoped that the French will (hew them
selves a generous natiod in this instance ; and
that their humanity will lead them so forgive
a suppliant enemy.
Q€to6er 19. The French seem at this mo
ment to be going on very foccefifully; but
matters are not so bad with the Confederate
Powers as some people imagine. I will give
you an impartial and faithful defcrictioa of the
state of affairs*

We are concerned to be under the neceflity
of following up our accounts from thgweflern
territory, with more dtfagrecable intelligence
from thence.
Sometime in the fall month, Capt. Handley
with his company of (draughted) Mditia. sod
an efrOrtUßdcr their care marched from Kn >x- '
ville for Cumberland ; on their route they were
f , rprifed on the Cumberland trace, between
Knoxville and Naitiville, by a parry of Indians,
consisting of about 200;—on their fird fi<e,
Capt. Handley and 11 ol his men fed,and the
remainder of the company and the* escort in
flantly difperfsd :—of which twenty-four ate
still miffing, luppofed to be k «ieJ or taken
prisoners.
The militia had no suspicion of oeing near
an enemy, until they received the fatal fire,
which brought their commander and f * many
of their fellow foldier* to the ground
It is barely justice to the memory «f Capt.
Handle/ to mention, that he had served his
country, in a military capacity, five campaigns
with difliuituithed reputation and applause ;
and that equally in public and private life be
lived beloved and retpefied,and has died uni
verfilly lamented.
We are informed, that the late pleating in
telligence from France, relative to the Dike
of Br unfwick’s i»glerious retrsar, was pfoduc
. tive of much public joy and private grarulation
in Philadelphia.—But why mention Philadel
phia only ? For we trust that every part of
-the union will feel as warm an exaltation at
an event so propitious to the Fre ich nation,
and at the fame tithe so auspicious to the ge
neral lioerty of mankind.
On Wedcefday last died ar Urbanna, in the
county of Meddlefex, ARTHUR LEE, Esq.
after a short illuefs. The lola of this virtuous
and enlightened patriot, is no left to be de
plored by united America, than by his native
Rate. The long and faithful fcrviccs rendered
to his country, during her arduous ftruggU
for independence, in the alternate ebaraftetra
of Ambadador and Statcfmaa, are uoiverfally
known and acknowledged.
