SMITH, Printer to the State \ FJfay*> Articles of Intelligence , Advertisements , will be gratefully received , and ev try kind of Printing fe? firmed. VIENNA, February 27. WE arc allured that after four as saults, iu which we loft 1000 men, our troops have taken the fortrefs of Gradilka, and that all the garri foil, which had been rein forced by fuccours from Banialuka, were kil led or made prisoners. March 8. Yesterday a courier arrived at Buckowina, who was immediately dispatched to his Majesty. He brings the important ac counts of the junction of the Ruftian troops un der the Fieldmarlhal Romanzow, and ours under the Prince of Cobourg. This is a very important occurrence, about which we were very uneasy, as, if by any means that junc tion had been prevented, the Ruffian army could not have ailed with any effect, as they are in want of every thing necelfary for any important operation* As foou as the season is far enough advanced, Choczim will be be heged. 12. Our Croats have given frelli proofs of their bravery fmce Gen. de Vins entered Turkilh Croatia with the regiment of St. George, the huflars of Grave, a party of Kin fky*s dragoons, and two battalions of Bannats. This body advanced in three columns; one party was detached to take poll at other under the command of Gen. Klibeck, advanced as far as Twofwick. Thcfe two places fnrrendered without resistance. The principal corps, under the Commander in Chief, marched against Whiacz, and fell in, at a small distance from thence, with a body of Turkilh cavalry, which violently attacked the regiment of Kreug. We made a great difeharge of artillery, and, by a happy di version, the huftars of Grave fell on the ene my in the rear. Though the Turks fought desperately, the field was soon covered w.th their slain. At length they were obliged to yield, and in their precipitate retreat many of them were drowned inthe river Una The major part were taken prisoners; and there was but a small part that reached the fortrefs. Our Commander, by dexterity of manceu vers, in Ids than two hours destroyed all the fortifications of Whiacz. We loft in this expedition 9 officers of rank, 37 inferior, and 556 privates, killed; the number of the wounded amounted to 37 6. The Turks loft near 2000, without allowing for those drowned, and 1300 were taken pri soners. FRANKFORT, March 8. The Turks have taken fix transports from the Auflrians, and the Brigadier Brentaro loft his life in endeavouring to make reprisals, HAGUE, March 20. The treaty of alliance between the King of Prussia and this republic is figued ; it is de> fenfive only, and not offenfive and defenfive, as was reported. All the articles with England being now fettled, the treaty between the Court of Lou don and ours will soon be signed. PARIS, March 14* They are this year to bsften the works at Cherbourg; before Juue they will be able to fink four new cones; those who have fuffered will be repaired before that time. The dykea or moles ate funk only nine feet instead of 15 or to, which they were reprted to b«. W« THE hope this grand wotk will be entirely finifted, oelore the expiration of the four years they have allotted for them to be brought to per fection. 18. The news of the rcfufal of theCom miflioners (appointed by the King to examine the business relating to the situation of the finances) to sign the accounts of the receipts and expences inspires the public with a great dillike for that important work announced at firft with f 0 much praise. It is already re ported, that the result of the account of the Archbishop of Sens stated the deficiency for the year 1788 at 185,000,000 ; a truly dread ful calculation to present to a nation, who want 9 a more consoling piftuie set before it to regain its confidence ; besides, the idea only of such a situation has caused such an alarm that every one trembles for the effects of it, if the States General do not afford foine speedy relief. We cannot conceive how the deficiency, which the greateff exaggeration railed (in the Assembly of the Notables) to 140 millions, which a further examination lowered to 120, and which, iu fine, has since truVerfed with an uncertain opinion all the degrees of intermediate variations,-and found rather less than more, can at last amount to so amazing a sum as 185,000,000. ■u II ■ . LONDON, March 11. General Carpenter, who had been long in a declining way, eluded, on Saturday morn ing, the vigilauce of his attendants, and threw himfelf into the Serpentine river. The Ge neral’s affliction for the loss of his favorite son, an event which lately happened, was so very extreme, as equally ro affeft and debilitate his system and his intelleCls. 12. The bankruptcies which have happened within these few weeks in Scotland amount, it is conjectured, to about half a million fler ling. This country, since the year 1772, has not felt such a ffiock. Last Wednesday the bill for the reduction of the interest from fix to five per cent, after a debate of several hours was rejected in the House of Lords in Ireland ; contents 14, pio xies 3; non-contents 24, proxies 4. 15. By yeflerday’s mail from Holland we learn, that M. Caillaid, Charge des /,ffaiies from the Court of France, has demanded of the States of Holland, in the name of the laid Court, the sum of 150,000 Jivres, at which they eflimate the loss of the frigate Scmillante, which was lent to the commander ot a Dutch squadron, and burnt the 24th of Jan. 1787. 17. By private letters fi om Vienna we have received the following intelligence : “An unhappy event has taken place with refpert to the regiment of Peiigrini; that fine coips, composed of 2500 of the best troops in the Imperial service, having advanced toopiema tureiy and unguardedly on the right fide of the Danube, were surprised and totally destroyed by a numerous body of Tuikifti cavalry. They were mostly cut to pieces in the conflifl, and thole made prisoners were beheaded, and their heads sent to Conflantinople. 5 * This unwar rantable exercise of cruelty in the troops of the Porte may perhaps excite a spirit of reta liation in the Imperial!!!, which will leadto that vinciiClive and baibaious mode of ton dueling the war that lias not of late years dis graced the arms if civilized nations. The detail of the late deveflatiou tccaftoued b y a hurricane ur the northern toafl 0 i Coio« mandel is truly deplorable. The Daniffi and Luicfo fcttlcments have been the chief fuffe lers among the foreign eftabliffitnents. A di ftrirt called Uppora, inhab ted by weavers, was totally swallowed up by the fca, which role 14 feet above its level, and covered the country for several leagues. In the neigh* bouthood of Tranquebar above 12,000 fouls have been loft; Jagomaporam, belonging tt> the Dutch, is ruined, and the town of Cojin ga has left no trace behind to drew where ic once flood. The country, upon the retiring of the lea, prefuited a fccuc of horror beyond all defcripiion. 18. Ihe account mentioned in a former paper, of the defeat of the Prince de Cobourg, in the Buckowine, is confirmed by the Gazette Imperiale of the Emperor, which lament® that the intemperate ardour of the Piiucc Ihouid have led him to attack a superior force. This Paper acknowlegdes that the Auftrian® have loft 4000 men, and their army of 15,000 men is entirely defeated. The regiment of - Siculiens has fullered the most, having loft 14, officers, which, when wc recollect that there are only three officers to a company of too .men in the Imperial service, makes the lufs considerable. Two companies of the regiment of Pelegrini have been cut into pieces, and the artillery chiefly destroyed. This is the new® of the Court ; it conceals half the difafter® which the Aulitian troops have experienced, and more than half its lodes. Their High Mightinefl'es the States Genera! have resolved to recall their Ambalfadortfrotu the Courts of Peterfburgh amlConftammople; and Mr. Van Berkel, their Ambafiador to the United States of America, is to be re placed by another peifou in an inferior capa city. The Ruffians have begun the liege of Ocza kow. It is fiotn the army under the com ma!.d of Prince Repuin, which is so advan tageouflv polled as to have had the firft intel ligence of this evenr, that the news comes. Choczim was fummoi,ed to furrendcr the 20th of last November, by Prince obourg, in the name of the Empiefs of Kuilia, which the Pacha reft.ling to comply with, the blockade commenced, and this fortiefs is so lurrounded that neither men nor ptovifions can possibly enter. Its garnfon con lifts of 30CO men on ly, but as they are determined never to sur render while one of them exifls, the Auflrians mud neceftarily lose an infinite number of men before they reduce a place so ©bflinately-dc fended, and so well fortified. 24. We learn that ti e Dcy of Algiers has ordered all the corsairs of that ic>,ency to keep in port, and to prepare tlie/nfelves for joining in a fleet, it is thought, to attack the Ruffians,, whenever their fleet comes into the Mcditer* taneau. The fame preparations ate making at Tunis and Tripoli. Jfrili. The bufintfs which engrofled the attention of the Cabinet on Monday, we are informed, w , as the incieafed and increasing flare of the Spamfti navy, which it has been leported is fitted out with an intention ofop pofmg the Ruffian fleet in the Mediterranean. This pretext will no doubt I e eaicfully fifted, and tircimifpctily attended to, by the prefene ruling powet a. / j 1.
