AN Express arrived.this morning in Town with the intelligence, that Forty Sail of the West India . Fleet had arrived safe off Beachy Head. The rest were left, all well, of Scilly. YESTERDAY evening we received J,'utch Papers the igth inst. and we are sorry to say that they contain intelligence of -rather an unfavourable na ture. - It is stated in an Extraordinary State Courant, published at -the Hague on the IGth, "that hostili ties-between France and Prussia had commenced* that more than one severe a&ion had taken place ,between the two Armies; happily, however; the issue had always been the advantage of the French Axing," The account then proceeds to state, that the result Of these first advantages had been, that the French have made a 'considerable number of Pri soners, and taken thirty-two pieces of cannon. This is the substance :of the intelligence officially pub- , lished in the Hague . State Courant ; and though we are inclined, - 'from the above statement, to believe.' that the French mayhave obtainedsome advantages, yet there is no •ground to apprehend that the Prus sians have . SUF,taine4 any thing like a decisive defeat. It is to be observed, that neither the place where these actions are supposed to have been fought; for the tittle are mentioned. It 'is indeed stated, in some • Private Letters, 'that a Battle took place in • Bareuth on the 13th, but if a Battle was fought in Bareinh on the 13th, the intelligence could not have reached the Hague by the 15th ; besides, -if the last accounts we received, viz. that the left wing of the Prussian Army had fallen back to Jena were cor-• Tea, it is very improbable that they should have ad vanced again with. so much rapidity as to have fought a Bottle in Bareuth on thp 13th. There 'were other reports circulated last night, but evidently without foundation such as, that the whole Prussian Army pactd-been completely viuted, and 25,000 men taken i irisoners, &c. But to revert to the account published in the Hague Courant., it states, that Prince LOLTIS FPSWINANp, the KrMG of PRUSSIA'S Bratlu had fallen one of the aetions.— ThiS must be a ' mistake, for . the KigG of Txuss!A hai no F4rpcher pf that pame. Prince LOUIS FERpI&AND is his Cousin. Thefe is, be sides, another circumstance. which tends• to throw' considerable doubt upon the statement in the putch Paper, and that is, that the subsequent Papers da not contain any further particulars respeaing this supposed Battle, nor any confirmation of the origi- Ual statement. Upon the whole, we think it bigrily probable that this is merely a - French ac count of events of which we had been previ ously informed, viz. die adiance of the Right Wing of the French Army to Hoff, and the retreat oT the Prussians under General TAUiNZEIN. kflirir that some skirmisheS did take place upon, that occa sion, and the Government of Holiand have certainly Very cogent reasons at preSent for magnifying eveti the slightest success Of the FrenCh into..a decisive vietory. In the. present temper of the Dutch,'a de feat of the French might produce very serious conse quences to Kink Louis. WE are sorry to learn that General MIAANDA has been compelled to re-embark, after. a severe gam with the Spanish Farces. We do not, however, flint that hwhas altogether abandoned his plan, and, with British assistance, he may yet succeed ; but cer tainly the chances in his favour are considerably di minishe'd. General MOREAU, who is in London, had, it is" stated, an interview on Thursday last with Lord It is generally .believed that he will ac company the E xpedition which , is,preparing in this Country for the.continent.
