A letter from Brinn, in Moravia,
dated August 8, fp^iki of the Mar
quis La Fayette, now closely confined
in :he fortrefs of Spielberg, and states
that Latour, Maubourg, and Puzy,
his faithful friends, attend the Mar
quis..
They are treated with much more
fevericy, and more closely confined,
than when prisoners to the King of
Prussia. These distinguished perlons
sustained the bitter aggravation of for
tune with unparalleled magnanimity ;
fond although the Marquis fuffersan
ignominy destined to the meanest mil
efaftoc, yet his persecutors have not
been able to subdue his laudable fpirify
which, even in dismal dungeons, soars
towards actions that enoble humanity.

That a very large Matting was held at'
'Bifa's ^ft hoofe, On Saturday, of
gentlemen in rhe' trades which w^te,
tended by the Spanilh miniver.
Several fetters were read, which"v^
ry fairly and openl,^ fated, that ipf
dead of an b, pofirion being made b,
the inhabitants, the French were re
ceived with open arms.
( It appears that the magistrates and
principal inhabitants of S:. Sebaftians
went io procession to meet the French
—and upon their entering into the
city, a.general meeting was held, in
which the French Constitution was
folemoly accepted. The Ecclesiastics,
the merchants, and the noble; had es
caped. All their property grid effects
were put in a state of requisition, and
the city of Tolofa was also taken.-
The next day a body of ten thousand
French, with.a large train of artillery,
marched to secure the passes in the
road to Bilboa; and another body
were preparing to follow them ; which
city, as before stated, is unprepared
and incapable of refitting such a force
—ln fad, that the whole of the ma
r^me and trading province of Biscay
mu. 4 , inevitably fall into the hands of
the French, unless some speedy and
powerful ,ffiftatce can be given. The
result of the meeting is to be imme
diately laid before Mr. Pitt.
BRITISH ARMY.
Camp, near Breda, Aug,ig.
This day a reconnoitering party of
the French, confining of cavalry and,
infantry, in number about 50, had a
skirmish at Zander, with an advanced
piquet of Black Hu(Tars, in the tervice
of the United Provinces ; a few men
|,oth French & Huffiri, being wound
ed in this affair, were conduced to
the hospital at B'eda.
:' Holland is now io such a state of
defence; that it may be considered as
perfectly secure from that total fuh
verfiori of all order, religion and mo
rality, with which France not only
threatened her, but alfoall Europe—
The position of Ite Hessians between
the Duke of York's army and Will
iamftadt, is so excellent and strong,
fyt it i< deemed almost impregnable,'
AUG, 20. Deleters are continual
ly comiQ in from the enemy.—One
arrived last night, who brings infor
mation that, the French army 1$ re
tiring from the frontiers of Holland
withthe greatest precipitation ; but
very different is the intelligence we
have received from a deferxer who ar
rived a few hours ago : " That the
French had advanced to the fffiaH
to^ri as Turnhdut, about 7 leagues
fr^mpu£advanced; post, with a force
of 100,000 men, exclusive of 20,000
cavalry; and a prodigious train of fy
tillery."-—Notwithstanding these ve
ry contradictory accounts, they all a
gree in this particular—that the great
est confufion prevails in their ^my.
Apattyle, more numerous than ta
before appeared during the campaign,
was seen this day near our out poftt,
whichHirt tl^ occasioned an
after general orders fignifying that
the army do hoiAidelf in readiness to
;mtaWrht the fhorceft notice ; and
that no commander of corps is to
grant permission to any officer or lol
diet to absent himfelf from the camp
unlefi on very urgent occasions.
aug. 21. About I o'clock, P. M.
I a company of kith artillery marched
into camp—l:% expe&ed that thhfe
infcicrment will enable us to mounft
guns on the different batteries in front
of our camp—lt is greatly to be la-i
faented, that not«fit§ftandiog his roy
a| .highness, the commander in chief's
whwtyitd exertions' to put a flop to
outrages committed on the inhabit
ants of the neighboring country, they,
fevq proved ineffectual. His Royal
^Highoefs has in this day's orders of.
f%d are ward of 106 guineas to any
' ptfon who may deleft the perpetra
&bfl mod horrid murder, cbmmit
e<jop a peasant between camp and
the village of Ofterhout, by? several
wounds, given, to all appearance with
a fwerd; and there being great ret
Ton to believe that this murder was
commited by one of the Bririlh light
dragoons.•
aug. 22. A fhoeg pinole wai
lent out yeftsrday, which proceeded
for some leagues without feeing a
Frenchman, which gives us re^on to
imagine they do not intend attacking
us immediately, notwithflanding dif
ferent reports from deferred, some of
them having brought accounts, that
the generals intend besieging Breda
immediately. A deserter is just come
in, who informs us that the army, al
most to a man, have refuted to ad
vance, faying they had driven the en
emy from the territories of the Repub
lic, which is what they had engaged
to do.
aug. 23. Yesterday evening a pea
sant arrived in camp from Antwerp,
he fay^that the French were leaving
the place when he left it—that he
yesterday met a patrole from our camp
near Turnhout--The patrole sent out
yesterday has not yet returned, which
Lia accounted for at head quarters in
the following manner, " 1 hat as the
patrole had received inftrudions not
to return till they met with some of
the enemy, they must have continued
towards Antwerp, in which case it
would have been impuffible for them
to have returned by this time,"— —
Some croakers however affirm, they
, have it from good authority, that the
said patrole haabeen surrounded and
taken.
aug. 24. Late last night an order was is
sued fur the reserve ammunition and heavy
baggage to march this morning, which they
accordingly did at 7 o'clock—Their route is
not known—This makes us suppose we (ball
not remain much longer in our present posi
tion ; the more so, as the inundations at
Breda have fucceeded —the presence of the
army is no longer necessary. Early this
morning a patrole, consisting of 800 horse
and 200 infantry, with four pieces of Hessian
flying artillery, was sent out to reconnoitre#
Upon coming near the village of— —, they
received information that a piquet of 500
Frenchmen were in it ; they accordingly
made the necessary arrangements for sur
rounding tbc'Village, & taking the Carmag
noles prisoners, when unfortunately a ser
geant of the 16th light dragoons deserted to
the enemy, who by this means were enabled
toefcape.
aug2s. This morning a soldier of the Bth
dragoons was ffiot in front of the encamp
ment, for firings his commanding officer.
The ceremony was solemn and affecting. He
was conduced along the whole line, under
an escort of his own corps. After he was
shot, the whole marched past the body, that
was afterwards burnt. It is generally believ
ed the army will remain here for a few days
longer. The flying hospital is ordered to be
removed to Goreum.
