The accounts of the atflion between the French and Adrian armies on the other fide rite Rhine, are so very differ «nt and contradiftory, that no accurate \ Hatament ran be made. The French papers mention the bufinef* as a retreat urged by prudential motive*. The Englifll pipers hive mentioned the re treat as the confcquence of a total de feat of die French army : But we ob serve that the English papers now men tion this event in terms very different from those which contaiaed the firfl in formation on this.fubjecl ; and ill com paring dll the accounts be have been able tocollecl, we think ourselves war ranted in fayiitg. that no verv decisive action had taken place a: the time the London exaggerated account was pub lifted. For the news of a defeat so d«*dful must have occasioned confide rable uneasiness in the national iegifla ture of France, where we find the re trograde movements of the French troops lightly spoken of, and where we find the fame confidence in the 't.ccsls of their arms, which has so uniformly ciiaraflarifed tlut great republic. So that the great noise xnd ostentatious accounts iu England, of the jnpiral lelled fueflefs ofths Aa'lrians, fceim in x great measure to be t.ie e'ffei of the prolific illvemion oftne miniitry, .ni»*e effectually to knpofe on his mlje:ty , - dutifnl and loyai fujjjects, and .0 dilli pate those gloomy cioads which appear hovering over :h« Britift government.

In an extraordinary meeting of the Wing Ciub. where the Duke of Bedford presided, several re folutimis were paEed, exprefilng in tlrong uhJ manly terms their utter ab horrence of these bills and earnestly recommending to he peopto to meet, and publicly to protell again!! them, -iiiQiUr uieut'ugs have been held by other foctetius, particularly by those concerned in printing Uoafes; these bills being, calculated totally to dellroy the liberty of thepref’s with the liberties of the people Incoufequence cf these and other appeal arcs* unpleasant tehi* Majefiy and 'he mmiftry the troops deliined for *hs VVeft Indies have been re landed in England and reviewed by his tr.ajeltv, vrno in returning from r review cf them was attacked by the mob, and narrowly escaped with his life ? the captain of the guard which attested him having been"killeJ The mob t’arreunded 'he palace, the gist* «f which they forced open with fledges and ran bai l.
