BRUSSELS, September 29.
The Austrian general count Colo
redo, who has the direction of the
liege of Maubeuge, has eftabhflied his
general quarters at Betigny ; those
of the prince of Saxe Cobourg are at
Bavay, where the archduke prince
• Charles is at this instant.
The formidable preparations which
are making in the environs of Mau
beuge for the attack, of that place,
and of the entrenched camp which
covers it, give 11s the moft ianguine
hopes of the success of the enterprise.
A part of the French army of the
Ardennes threatening, by its motions,
to make new incurtions in the pro
vince of Luxembourg, our troops are
so ported as to give the republicans
a good reception.
Letters from Paris advise, that the
combined Austrian and Piedmontefe
army, commanded by the king of
Sardinia, in person, is actually within
fight of Nice, to which his majerty is
preparing to lay liege by land, while
the Neapolitan l'quadron attacks it by
sea.
This city being once taken, nothing
will hinder the allied army from pair
ing the Var, and reaching Marseilles
and Toulon ; which would effectual
ly enlure success to the counter-revo
lution in the southern provinces'.
On the fide of Savoy it appears,
that general Kellerniann, who is ap
prehensive of the guillotine, is exert
ing himfelf to prevent the enemy from
advancing, and has even repelled them
in the partes of la Maurienne.
The city of Lyons, it is feared, will
be forced, in spite of their bravery,
to yield to the enemy, being reduced
to their own internal rtrength, which
is infufficient to enable them to hold
out long.
DOVER, October 6*
** This morning arrived the packet
and two other veifels from Oftend,
the former with two meflerlgers.—■
Jurt as the vcrtels were putting off,
intelligence was received at Oftend,
that prince Saxe Cobourg had fur
prd’ed the French at their camp near
Maubeuge, arid completely., routed
them. A great many of the enemy
were killed, and all their cannon and
camp equipage were taken ; but the
particulars were not known.
“ This account comes from a very
reputable quarter ; but at this time,
when reports are lo various, they
ought to be mentioned with caution.”
LONDON, September 30.
Since the surrender of Toulon, the
convention is become extremely un
easy, in regard to the other sea-ports.
t In order to get rid of all persons whom
the convention lufpects, the committee
of public fafety has resolved to make a
defeent on England, in several places.
—Orders have in consequence been
given, to file off troops to all sea-ports.
Legendre and Lacroix are arrived at
Havre, for the purpose of luperin
tending the embarkation.
It is well known in France, that
this is a moft extravagant measure,
and that its object is rafti and absurd ;
but it is propoled to enrol the Tons and
clerks of merchants, and captains of
privateers, by force ; ro give the ex
elufive command to the fans culottes;
and to seize the property of fucli as
refufe to march.
OCTOBER 2.
The exertions making by the French
ar e scarcely to be credited. It is Laid
‘heir entrenchments upon the river
Lauter are defended by a train of 300
P‘cces of cannofi from eighteen to
thirty. two pounders ; and their field -
artillery is equally numerous. They
hare a foundery at Paris, where they
call 800 guns in a month. All the
bells have been taken from their
churches to furnifh metal.
If we take into conlideration the
battles fighting, and the towns be
gging in the interior part of France,
and on the borders of Italy ; it we
look to the sieges of Lyons and Tou
lon, the bloody conflids in the de
partments of La Vendee and itsneigh
bouring dirtrids with the royalists ;
the attack of the Spaniards on the
eastern and western terminations of
the Pyrennees, and the war in Flan
ders ; their efforts mull excite afton_

, OCTOBER 41
Last night mr. Heflop, one of the
king’s metfengers, arrived at the se
cretary of date’s office, Whitehall,
withdifpatches from the earl of Elgin*
dated from the head quarters of the
prince of Saxe Cobourg, and likewise
with letters and dispatches from his
royal highnels the duke of York.
On Sunday last the army of the
prince of Saxe Cobourg crolfed the
Sambre in two columns. One of these
came unexpededly upon the French
camp, put them to the rout, and took
all their camp equipage, ammunition,
and favcral pieces of cannon. The
other column was equally fuccefsful-
About 500 French in all were killed
and wounded, and eleven pieces of
cannon were taken.
The French army have retreated
to their entrenched camp near Mau
beuge, which, together with the place
itfelf, Was completely inverted by the
prince of Saxe Cobourg.
Mr. Heftop had come from Turin,
and brought accounts from Toulon as
iate as the 16th of September, at
which time every thing was well
There was not the moft distant appre
henlion that the French could make
the smallest impreffidn upon it.
The Sardinian army, when the let
ters came away, were said to be on
their march to join the <-oy,v'(\T in the
foutheiu provinces of France.
A large body of cavalry is orderec
to be immediately lent ro Toulon, of
which general Dundas is to have the
command! The cavalry now in Ire
land are to go on this service, and ge
neral Dundas proceeds immediately
over land to Toulon.
Lord Howe's fleet returned to
Torbay, on Sunday, not being able
to proceed down channel, owing to
the westerly winds.
General Rainsford is appointed to
proceed to Gibraltar, as lieutenant
governor, in the room of general
O’Hara, who is to go to Toulon.
OCTOBER 7.
The allied armies have bombarded
Lauterbourg, which surrendered on
the 19th ult. at four o’clock in the
morning. The advanced ports of the
allies are already stationed beyond
Straiburgh, which is therefore nearly
blockaded.
Prince Edward, now in Canada,
was, on Wednesday last promoted
to the rank of major-general in the
army. He is to have the command of
a legion to be raised there; and the
regiment in Canada will be sent to
wherever the service may require
their presence.
OCTOBER 9.
Some confkierable additions are
making to the fortifications of Oftend
on the land fide ; which looks as if
our government intend to make it as
secure a depot as they can for the am
munition and provisions with which
our troops are to be supplied in the
winter. It has been strongly reported
that the duke of York is to give up
the command of the army to (ir WiL
liam Erlkine ; and that his royal
highness will loon return to England.
The transports which failed from
Cork, on Tuesday the 25th ult. have
pur hack by unfavourable winds.
The royalists are defeated at Thours,
and have loft 2500 men.
An article from Leyden, of ttie
inflant, lays, that intelligence had
been received there from Turin, con
firming, in detail, the news of the
luccefs of the Piedmontcfe and Au
ftrian’forces, under the command of
his Sardinian majesty and the Imperial
general De Vins, in their several at
tacks of the French polls on the Bth
of September, in the valley of Vaflu
bia, and the lurrounding pafies. Some
of the conflicts were bloody, but the
luccefs was certain. The combined
troops took a number of prisoners,
ten cannons, leveral ammunition
waggons, and a great quantity of
tents, from the enemy.
A letter from Mentz, of the 19th,
Hates, that the garrison of Saarlouis
has made an unfuccefsful sortie. The
lame letter mentions an engagement
between the alliesand the republicans,
in the environs of Saarbruck, in which
the latter loft fix pieces of cannon, and
had about 1800 men either killed
or wounded.—Among the latter is a
commilftoner of the executive power,
who has been removed to Mentz.
In another engagement, in la Ven
dee, a large corps, con filling of the
late garrison of Mentz, commanded
by general Rolfignol, was attacked on
the 14th ultimo, and driven as far as
Pont de Ce, with the loss of 1800
men killed, a great number ot wound
ed, and eleven pieces of cannon.
From lbme accounts received of
the army of the prince de Conde, da
ted September 24, it appears, that
the Aullrians under general Wurm
ler were conllantly engaged with the
republicans on the 18th, 19th, and
20th ultimo ; in which different ac
tions the French are said to have 101 l
between 3 and 4000 men, and the
Aullrians between 7 and 800.

ber, we learn, that the court of Naples

of war against France.---The French

dominions immediately ; and all com
munication is prohibited between the
two kingdoms.
Although the accounts from Bour
deaux, read in the convention on the
27th, Teemed to promilc Unconditional
lubmifliotl to the convention, the let
ters from the commillioners read on
the 2pth prove, that the profellions of
the deputies from Bourdeaux are but
little to be depended upon, and that
a {hong party in that city would be
ready to declare again*! the present
rulers of France, on the firft profpedt
of support.
It is reported, that Perpignan and
Thouloufe have surrendered.
The diet of Poland, having resolved
toeflablilh anew form of regency for

tion. This deputation confiHs of the
marfnal of the diet ; of four minillers,
namely, two for the crown, and two
for Lithuania ; two senators and four
nuncios for each province. Every
Pole will be at liberty to present his
ideas on this iubjeft.
Duke of York's army , Oil. 4.
We are now in a better situation,
and with better profpecls, than at any
time lince the retreat from Dunkirk.
The head-quarters of the duke of
York continue at Menin; the allied
troops under his command are en
camped behind the town—the right
extending toCifoing, and the left to
wards Oudenarde. It seems to be
expedled that we lhall remain here
feme time.—The soldiers have been
ordered to thatch their tents.
Though we have so many lick in
camp, and have sent such considera
ble numbers to the hospitals, the
troops in- general keep their health
surprisingly well, considering the ex
treme hardlhips they have undergone,
and their exposure to so much bad
weather.
PHILADELPHIA, December 13.
By communications read in the house
ofreprefentatives of the United States,
it appears, that the executive, as early
as the 16th of August, wrote to our
minister in France, to demand the re
cal of citizen Genet. Giving these in
ltrudions two months to reach Fra nee,
we may now everyday expert to hear
the result. The letter of complaint is
accompanied with unbounded alfuran
ces of friendlhip for the republic.
By tiie documents read in the house
of reprefentativesof the United States,
our government, it appears, has ad”
drefled the Bririffi minister and court,
in a very firm tone, on the fubjed of
a surrender of the frontier ports, l'e
cured to us by treaty. They can no
longer, it would seem, turn a deaf
ear to the complaint, answer it by re
crimination, or treat it with cont
temptuous silence.
