The surprising ads bi valour which the troops of Switzerland have performed art equal to thole of the free Itates of ancient Greece The battle of Mortgifter, where ijco owns routed the army of the Archduke Le opold, confiding of 10,000 men, is equal to that of Marathon. The battle that was fought at the paf* of Wcfcn* in the Canton of Claris, exceeds that much was fought at the pass of Thermopylae g>r as 500 Spartans tried to repel the army of Fcrfia jn thole ltraits, and all pcrilhed in the at tempt, so, in such another defile, Swifs at* tacked Boeo AuUrifiHs, and gained the field of battle. They celebrate this vidory by a publick proceilion on the spot where it was fouvht and where ! 1 pillars, ereded for that shew the places where those heroes 11 times 5 rallied. At each pillar they offer up-thanks to God, and when they come to the lift one of their bell orators makes a panegyrick in praift of the end of his oration he reads a lilt of their names, in the lame manner, as. the Spartans had the names ot those who fell at Thermopylae carved on brass to tranfrut their fame to posterity. As there is very little doubt of a treaty being signed, or on the point of signing, between this kingdom, Auitm, nd Rulfia, and as it will prob ably be attended with consequences to change the face of Europe, it cannot be unentertaming to con a w c Vc‘nts that may ensue from it. The n;l Hj|jrlSoeftion to ask i, what will the King of PiWa do r will there not be a counter treaty ?

I underhand that pfpvifion is made, in the treaty, to feeurc the King of Prullia in one or two ways • firft, to buy hia neutrality at such a price as fliail be a cotnpenfation or balance to him for any acqpi fitidn the Emperor can make; or, secondly, to bring the arms of Ruflia upon him, if he should attack the Erfiperor. In the firft case, France and Holland would fee tbetnfelves attacked without an ally to assist them: In the second, an alliance woald be in full aftion, fuffi.icnt to hold Prulliaac bay, while an army entered France. The following is said to be the plan of operati on ; 40,000 Danes and 20,c00 Hanoverians to at* tack Holland, and 80,000 Austrians to cfofs the Rhine and march into Alsace. Still the Emperor would be able to force the King of Pruflia with an ctfraive army of 100,000 men* cxeiufive of the force the Empress of Ruflia could fend against him. In such a case, it would be more for the advantage of the King of Pruflia to be quiet with such a fob fidy as would pay his troops, or add to his trea fore, than engage in a war apparently so much beyond his strength. A t all events France will be attacked'by land, and forced to give the attention navy. VARRO. Mxlrm3 ofm Utter fret# Vice Admiral Darby Mr. Stephen, dated at sea, July 31, 1781. _ plcafed to acquaint my Lords Commiflioners of the Admiralty, that the day be fore yesterday we retook the Lively frigate, and also two brigs* the Rolemount and Katharine, bound from Cork to New-York* which flic had taken ten days before, in company with the corvette L Hirondelle, which eleaped us, making ufo of her oars, in the night, when there was but little wind, These brigs had parted frn m the convoy of the Aoius and Pandora. The Lively and corvette were on their return tb France from Cayenne, and had been but 53 days when the former was taken i flie carried out a convoy, and failed in company with M- de Graffe, The latter had been upon that Ration above two years.
