The exemplary behaviour & con

period of their residence in this gar

minds of the inhabitants of every de

BOSTON, AUG. 26.
Capt. Ripley, from Jeremie, men
tions the Brigands as continually ac
tive and fuccefsful again ft the Ea
glifh—thinks the French will soon be
matters of many places held by the
English. , '
Fifteen American vessels, were at
Leogane, about the firft of August,
under libel—and waiting for trial.
They were taken under inftruaions
for capturing vessels bound to En
glilh ports in Hispaniola. Among
rhefe vessels are the Ann, Gibbj ; &
,ro, of Boston ; the rest are South
ern vessels. Thus when the Bermu
dians are aaually reforming & quit
ting their infamous tade; we find
the French degenerating and taking
up the fame piratical business ; with
even left colouring in general cases.
Many of the vrffels detained by the
Bermudians were from French ports,
that had been for a long time declar
ed in a state of blockade= whether
they were actually so or not ; but the
St. Domingo French, haveno pretence
of the kind, either nominal or othei
wife. It is uncertain what fate may
attend the above American vessels ;
but if the Republicans carried them
in merely to secure to their ports the
provisions they might have on board
—they would release them after their
arrival-without any form of trial.
The libelhngof the veffelr, however,
render# it probable femerifiog ferioui
is designed against them./

AUSTRIAN SUCCESS.
Yesterday was an alarming day, but in
deed fortunately for us, as the French were
compelled to retreat. Weitzlaer, Frank
fort, and the neighboring country, are now
delivered from the enemy. The following
is the account of this BLOODY ACTION.
" Yesterday at noon a cannonade be
gan near our town. The French made two
talfe attacks on Lenue and Wehrdorn, of
both which places the Austrians had again
the possession. Gen. Werneck immediately
feot a reinforcement to Wehrdorff. About
zin the afternoon, the French under Gen.
Lefebvre and Grenier, attacked the town
from the fide of the serest of Aherberg, with
18,000 men. Thf Austrians had only
their advanced troops and light troops on
the fide of the town. The affair was at
firft considered as of light importance ; and
Werneck, therefore, only brought up the
regiments from the camp behind the town.
But these were not fufficient, as the corps
of Werneck only confined of 7 or 800 men.
" The Austrians in the firft two hours
loft many brave men ; but between four &
five the Archduke Charles arrived, & head
ed the troops himfelf —This inspired the
troops with new courage, and turned the
battle in our favor. Till seven o'clock thee
vent of the day was doubtful. Had the
Austrians been compelled to retreat, our ci
ty would have been exposed to the mofte^Q
inent danger. Towards evening arrived
some Auftrran regiments, and about 7 o'-
clock 3000 Saxons, These decided the vic
tory
'V Gen. Werneck in perfan, at the
head of the regiment of Karazey, forced up
the mountain, and took five pieces of can
non, and the Saxons on the left wing, two.
The heavy artillery also now came up, of
which the Austrians had before been in
want, and about 9 o'clock, the French were
reduced to flight, and driven beyond ^fo
berg. ,To day the Austrians ire five leagues
in advance. The event of this battle was of
the utmost importance to this dty, Frank
fort, and the whole neighboring country."
