they were not at liberty to receive it as an appeal, till after the expiration
of two months, from the time of pronouncing the decree: And for this
purpose they adjourned, to meet at Hartfoid, in Connecticut, on the Bth

W A R S A W, August 28.
HE general attention ha> been engaged for fome time on the
L ’ J news received from Kaminieck, that the Turks had given
a,* * battle the i6th instant to thcarmy of Prince Gallitzin, which
C jj was said to be'entirely defeated. The letters fmee received
contradict this report; but thole from Kaminieck, andth.it
neighbourhood, all agree, that the corps of Gen. Proforowiki, reinforced
by thoie of the Sieur de Brinckeu, was almoll entirely deilroyed near
Campologno by the Serafkier ofßomelis, and by Mehemet Pacha, who
was lent by the Grand Viair to the relief of Choczim. Theft- letter* add,
that the fame day the Ruffians raised the blockade cf Choczim ; that they
drew near to their bridge*, and after gathering together the fluttered rib.
mains of Proforowiki’s corps, rcpalfed the Niefler in very bad condition.
In ftort, it is said that a fwarrn of Ottoman cavalry employed inthe pur
suit of them had croffied the Niefler, fume by fwirning, and others by
fording, and continuail / harrafled the Ruffian army, by feizingand cutting
off their convoys. This cavalry belongs to the Seraikier. As to that of
Mcheinct Pacha, it is allured that it has entered Poland on the fide of
Mobilow, that his advanced guard is already arrived at Sniatyn, and that
the Chief of the Confederates of Barrhave joined this army, which is com
puted to consist of 50,000 men, half of which is cavalry, and the rest Ar
nauts and infantry.
Letters from Prussia assure us, that the general Confederacy has been
formed with great tranquility. . u
September 2. All that we know here of the Ruffian army is, mat it re
mains encamped near Kaminieck, and the T arks who had pafTcd over to
that fide of the Nicller have been obliged to return into Moldavia. The
project of the Confederates at Bar, which was to render themselves mailers
of the fortrefs of Kaminieck, to pass by there to Lc.nberg, and penetrate
to this city, hath been difconccrtcd by the prefeiit position of the Ruffian*.
It is dangerous to travel the kingdom: the polls'arc interrupted almo^
