Every thing has changed within
the last four yeari in France, ex-
The Grand army, under the
Prince d e Cobourg, has invested
Maubeuge, Le Qucfaoy,t and
Landrecis§ ; the two latter are now
blockaded. The moment, that
Landrecis is taken, the siege of
Maubeuge will commence. The
. allies begin with Landrecis, altho'
more advanced, because it cannot
hold out long, and when taken,
will completely cover the siege of
Maubeuge. They will then be
able to attack it from behind the
woods of Marmol, where the

LISLE, August 21.
Letter from the Commissioners of the
Arm, of the North.
" THE retreat which our troops
made on the night of the i Bth from
the villages of Lincelles and Blan
ton, for fear of being surrounded
during the night, left us at firft un
certain of the result of the affair of
this morning ; we now find it more
advantageous than we at firft sup
posed.
“ On the 19th a vigorous attack
was made upon Blanton, and we
entirely defeated the enemy. There
were among the enemy two com
panies of emigrants, bearing the
Orange uniform, and the cross on
their coati. The Republican troops
put every one to the sword, and
would not hold one as a prisoner.
" At the fame time the 12th re
giment of infantry made an attack
on the village of Lincelles, with
the greatest courage ; they took
pofftflion of a ledoubt which would
have ensured us complete vidory,
had not a reinforcement of 4000
English put our column in disor
der, and made us lose the hold ;
was it not for this circumstance,
the affair of yesterday, (the 18th)
would have been a grand vi&ory.
This is certainly true, that the en
emy, overpowered by theJofs they
have sustained, evacuated both vil
lages of their own accord on the
19th, in the morning, leaving be
hind them their ammunition and
baggage waggons, which our pa
troles took possession of a few hours
afterwards. The inhabitants in
formed us, that the allied army loft
more than 1000 killed, and that
they saw 40 waggons of wounded
go off. We must not omit men
tioning that our colleague, Levaf
feur, too eager to carry off a piece
of Cannon, was summoned by3
Englishmen to surrender a prison
er ; but while he was answering
them that a deputy never surren
dered, he fortunately made his es
cape. (Signed)

General Houchard gave no
tice to Count Kalk reuth, the
Prussian commander, that he in

ed that town.
General Count Kalkreuth, on

PROCLAMATION:
" Lieutenant General Count
Kalkreuth, in the name of his
Majesty the King of Prussian de
clares by this Proclamation to the
unfortunate vidims to the will of
the despotic General Houchard,
that the arbritary principals on
which that General intended to es
tablish his difhonourable proceed
ings, will not be fufficient to save
them from an ignominious death,
which is waiting for them if they
have the misfortune to fall into
the hands of their once generous
conquerors^ in case that General
dares to put in execution such a 1
perfidious and unfoldier like pro
jed, should those victims bear
arms against the allied Powers, be-'
fore the 10th August, 1794, they 1
can expert of no mercy but the
punish mentwhich the rigour of the'
military laws and those of the na
tion, will condemn them to.
The undersigned General Kal
kriuth, declares besides, to Gen
eral Houchard, that if the latter
Ihou'd use any reprisals on any of
the troops of his Prussian Majesty
that might be in his power, instead
of preventing the bad fate of any of
the troops for merely in the garri
foo of Mintz, that should be tak
en under arms, against the Allied
Powers, that above 200 French,
prisoners, which at present are in
the power of his Prussian Majesty
ihall actually answer for the least
violence which that General should
exercise against any soldier of the
Prussian army, (Signed)

er, this day, to inform our country
friends, that the Epidemic which
has prevailed in our city for some
time past, has greatly abated. On
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, as
many of our citizens fell victims to
the dreadful disease as on any pre
vious three days— but on Tuefday
we were favoured with rain, and a
frefh northwester, which his con

Wednesday there were only three
applications to the committee at
the City-Hall——this was highly
pleating, when it had been usual
for thirty, forty and fifty such ap
plications in a day.—And we are
aurhorifed to fay, that the burials
have diminished near three 4ths ! f
We are informed, that several
families intend, should the favour

physicians who have understood the
disease, (with Dr. Rush at their
head) and these have been ver,
few indeed, that if a heavy feoff
was to take place, it would destroy
the contagion as effectually as w&

ease is at peftnr, there is no more
danger to be apprehended than in a
common pleurisy, provided plenti
ful bleeding & purging have been
made use of. Indeed, such advo
cates are the publick, for this me
thod of practice, that no physician
will be admitted into a room un
less he uses it, and many a person
by being bled and .purged in the
beginning of the disease, have put
it out of the power of the illigiti
mate sons of Efculapius to kill then
by bark and wine."
