'SIEGE of YPRES^.I
OSTEND, June 14. It has been mentions
ed that the French were bending all the force
?f their Northern army against Ypres,'tbit"
is defended by a ftrong'garrifon f arid that
?te Duke of York and Clairfayt were march
i% to force the. Carmagnoles tojaife the
; liege. The right wiqg of Clairfayt's army
commented the attack on the French who
I immediately poured in such ' numbers of
troops as to oblige it to retreat precipitately,
and with much loss. The Duke of York's ar
my is endeavouring to recover the disaster,
, and td assist Clairfaft, but as Menin & Cour
tray obftrua the jtindion, he must hazard a
feyere action to effect it.
Ypres is wholly surrounded, & the French
bombard it day and night—and it is/fypot
ed cannot be^d out long unless faccoured.'-
The next abfed, if it fails; will be Newport;
which is well fortified.
Another visit from & : French is expefled
here. * The merchants ihd'oppulent people
ate preparing toquit the town ;'theShipping
are hauling ®ut, arid the Sluices are filling
with water. We have hopes, however, that
-ajunction between Clairfayt and York will
be effected, and Ypres fuccoured.;
furfbift Ypres still holds out ftbutly, I
ffie besiegers as yet have done little damage
to the town, although their fire has been tre,
mendou<., Several reports are in circulation;
oneis that Ciairfayt has dislodged theFrencti
from Hoodlede, in the vicinity of Ypres.—
The sluices are ftppped filling.
