By a gentleman just arrived from Barbary, we learn that a strong ar mament is ready for sea in the port of Algiers, which conlifts of nine fail, of from 18 to 40 guns, manned with numerous crews of desperate ruffians. It was not publicly known who was to have the command ; many think it will be given to old Abdallah, a fellow of invincible courage, very bold and daring ; in the wars with Spain, he was a terror to that coast for many years, and did lurpriling acts of bravery, both on sea and on fliore ; he has often attacked flops of double his o\frn force, and, after the molt terrible and bloody conflicts, car ried them into Algiers. It is thought thele sea wolves will be let lool'e against the French barbarians. WARSAW, August 31.

The enemy, trusting in their superiority, made the; attack ; but they were defeated by the Pied“ montele column under the command of the marquis de Sales, and driven from the field with great lols. On the 2 Ift the column having re ceived a reinforcement of 3000 men, attacked the French near Salenche, defeated them, took all their artillery, and drove them from Fauffigny within two leagues of Geneva, where they remained 48 hours without tents or provisions ; they entered the Gene ve; e without waiting for the Piedmon tefe, who were this day at the gates or Geneva. Two other Piedmontefe columns had pa fled Mount Cenis and Mount St. Bernard.

By accounts received from Lyons, we learn, that the republicans have’ received a complete defeat there ; and the following are feme particu lars of tlie action, which was very bloody : After railing the camp of Bourg, 20-000 republicans advanced against Lyons, under general Iv. Herman, and bein2 arrived within a Ihort difiance O of that city, they repeatedly iinn rnonccl the inhabitants to furrendrr, and receive them as brothers and friends—this was refufed with firm nefs and courage, and the trumpeter was threatened to he hung up if re appeared again with any fuck propo lltion. In consequence of this refufal, hoflilities commenced against the city, into w.iich they threw shells, and fired cannon balls; but nothing could shake the courage of the Lyor.efe, who swore they would alt peri ill Avoid in hand rather than betray tiieir country and their fellow citizens. All the flower of the youth of that popir lous city took up arms, and joined, the troops for the defence of the place ; aud at the moment when the republicans were dispersed, and iiitie expefted it, they failied out upon them with inch impetuolhy as not to give them time to rally, and made a dreadful {laughter among them. It is said that ahnoft all the artillery has fallen into the hands of the Lyonele, to- whom, during the aftion, many of the enemy’s regiments united them selves, and by that completely finifhed the defeat.

The Atiltrian chafieqrs have made considerable {laughter ot the e wretches in revenge for ihe bar barities exerciled on our troops, having killed yesterday above four hundred 1 ot them. * A considerable quantity of artillery 1 pa fled through this place ir. the night, j rorti the prince de Cobourg’s army, | towards Ypres, where it is laid the j j French are in fort ‘’, to the number ■of 30,000, under general Houchard.

Among the people it is laid, that general Beanfieu is march ing an army of 20,000 men to the sf fiftance of his royal highness the duke of York, v.'n the other hand, the people in office in the neighbourhood of Ypres and Courtray, are in hopes that his royal highness will not expuie that traft of country to be ravaged by the French, but will march his army to its relief, though it ffiould feeni that the Dutch are in fufficicnt force for that purpole.

Extra£l: of a letter from the earl of Elgin, to the right honourable lord Grenville, dated .Sep tember 10. 11 My lord, fS I have the fatisfaclion of inform ing your lordship, that this morning La Qiufnoy surrendered to the troops of his imperial majesty. At midnight the town ceased firing, and an officer came out with the terms on which the garrison propol’ed to capitulate. Thele terms were rejected in so far that they deviated from the point, which general Clairfayt had reiolved to infill upon, namely, that the gar rison ffiould be prifoners’ of war.— This condition, though combated, did mot appear unexpected ; and the of fice on quitting general Clairfayt gave allurances that the stipulations he had consented to would he accepted. At the moment of dispatching my mefifen ger, the capitulation is not actually iigned, but as prince Cobourg, gene ral Clairfayt, and count Mercy have severally confided tome thelurrender, and authorize me to communicate it to your lordffiip, I hope my doing so will not appear hasty. “ Fhe garrison is to march out on the 13th inlhnt.’’ LONDON, September 7. General Omeara, who commands in Dunkirk, is an Iriilirnan. In the year 1758, lie was second lieutenant in the Irilh regiment of Kouth ; and when the Irfth brigade \yas incorpo rated, in 1778, lie had a co unsay in the regiment of Auvergne. He is now about 56 years olu, and has rifeu to the prelent rank from a furies of bravery and good conduct. Dunkirk, is firuated on the east fide of the itrairs of Dover, fro 1 ■ hich port it is only ten leagues diftmt, as Calais is seven leagues. Ihe Gazct* teer places it in latitude 131. and lon gitude 2- 20. but by ;Vja. lyrie's tab'es, the north latitude firi', 2-, ami the east longitude 2, 22. it lies 12 miles nearly east of Cal. , having between 1 hole two towns the fort re is ot Mardyke, and the tonified town of Grave)ines. In the year 1787, it was found to contain 4500 hordes and 27,000 inhabitants ; the approaches by sea have this inconvei'ieece, tbit ; tiit the foi ts of the IV. fir irk, with those of Rev. rs Gil hard, and “Fort b;.- c,. ; ate fi criced, there is no gc:fi-v ucar'- , enough to the town, to baa cr it with effect, as they defend the harbour : ; and to the east and weft tides of the two banks there are nothing bin funds and Ihoais and if a windThouu! set ; strong from .he weft, there is no f.fe ; am hm age without the forts in the main channel. Gravelines and Mardyke defend Dunk rk so well on the S.

Gravelings is a fmali, hut strong town, 1 5 miles to the S. W. of Dun kirk, and seven to the N. E. of Ca.

After the late peace, M. de Ca~ lonne, then in the adininiftration, invited above too American families from Nantucket, to fettle at Dun kirk.
