rhinezabern, AUG.2S. —The Prince
de Conde, yesterday morning early, ad
vanced beyond Tau,therburg. The emi
grants under his command have on ma
ny recent occasions displayed great brave
ry, and good conduct.
Huninguen is the immediate obje& of
attack by the Auftriaos. The Com
mandant of tire place has been sent pris
oner to Colmar.' The garrison is difor
ganifed, and the Inhabitants difaffeded ;
under all these circuinftances, in addition
to a vigorous, numerous, and veteran as
sailing army, the immediate reduction of
the place may be expe&ed.
Landau is, completely invested, and the
lines of Wieffenbourg on the point of be
ing forced by General Wurmser ; Low
er Alsace will probably be conquered be-'
fore the termination of the prefect cam-'
paign.
r FRANKFORT, AUG. 36.— The bom

will be immediately begun by the Austri
ans, who are in great force in Brifgaw,
under the orders of General Wallis—
The Commandant,of this place has Shar

who commanded the French army on the
Upper Rhine, in order to avoid the fame

This city is to be the winter quarters of
the King of Prussia. The Duke of Bruns

attack had taken place, the corifeqqence
of which had been'a most desperate and

been laid oa the shipping at Oitend,which
is preparing to defend itfelf against the

think it needs confirmations— Star.
^Private letters from the Army, under
the command of §he Duke of York, state
that, in the adions on Thursday and Fri
day iaft Gen. Freytag loft 600 men : He
was pressed so closely that he sent to the
Duke of York for reinforcements ; and
fevefal battalions were actually under or
ders to march to his fuccour, when it
was found that the sortie from Dunkirk
would demand and employ all the force
that his Royal Highness had under his
command. The sortie was made evident
ly as a diversion, to support the attack on
Gen. Freytag ; and from the French hav
ing got possession of Brambeeke; Rouf
brugghe, and Popetinghe, it would ap
pear it had in some measure answered the
purpose intended by it.
General Freytag, and his Royal High
ness Prince Adolphus, who commands a
regiment of Hanoverian cavalry, were at
one time surrounded, and actually taken
prisoners by the French. The young
Prince displayed great valour, but having
received a severe contusion had adually
delivered up his sword, when him felf and
General were happily rescued by a body
of Hanoverian Cavalry. Some letters fay
that this was on the 6th— others, that
Gen. Freytag so his ftfreat on the night
had fallen in with a column of the enemy.

Reduction of Marseilles. (
Letter from Gaffearin, Clmm,ffa,er at Cra

'' Yefterda, our troops attacked and took the \
town of Aix. We have routed the Marfoil- 1
lois, taken 600 men and all their artillery.— l
We were on our march to attack Marseilles, 1
but a letter from a Provisional Municipality
informed us, that the gates of Marseilles were
open ; and that the people HpeßM as with
eagerness and entbujiafm. We advanced and

" It is with extreme sorrow that I have
to acquaint you with the unfortunate .e
--vent of an at ack which the French army
made upon that of Field-Marshal Frey
tag, upon the eighth uiftant. The latter
was posted, as I had the honour of inform-
Byou, at Hondfchoote, the right upon
canal, the left extending 'towards
r rel.
"The enemy had made an attack the
preceding evening, in which they had
been repulsed ; but upon that day attack
ing ,upon every point, notwithstanding
the greatest exertion of bravery in. the
troops, and of ability in Gen. Walmoden
who men commanded them, they suc
ceeded in forcing the centre of this line.
He retired behind the small canal which
runs from Balfom to Steenkirk.
“ The loss has been very severe. His
Royal Highness has not as yet "received
any return, nor have any further partis
cularo been transmitted. Man, gallant
officers have fallen. The whole loss in
the differint actions, is supposed to be
near 1500 in killed,wounded and miffing ;
and that of the enemy has been unques
tionably greater. Three pieces of cannon,
and between two & three hundred prison
ers have been taken, I understand that
the Hanoverians have loft the fame num
ber of cannon.
: " Upon the 7th, His Royal Highness
sent two battalions of Hessians to Gen.
Walmoden's support ; but finding that
aidto be ineffeaual, he was reduced to
the necessity of colleding his whole force,
by abondoning the position he had taken
near Dunkirk.
" Thirty two of the heavy guns and part
of the stores provided for the siege, were
left behind, there being no means of car
rying them off. The army marched last
night, and encamped this morning, near
Adinkeque. ™
“It appears that the enemy had toi
leted forces for this enterprize from every
quarterof the country, from the armies
of the Rhine and the Moselle, and parti
cularly that which had occupied the
Camp de Caafar. They were command
ed by General Houchard, who is said by
the prisoners (although with whatdegree
of truth cannot be afeertained) to have
been mortally wounded at Rexpoede.
