Monday forenoon, igth of May.
The defeat of yesterday is by no means
to be considered as a defeat of the whole
Army at this place. Os the column under
the Duke of York, indeed the defeat was
com pleat; but when they fell back on
the Grand Army, confining chiefly of
Imperialists, they were perfectly protest
ed, insomuch that they have this day been
enabled to move two miles forward to
wards Courtray there to take up their
position, while the Emperor with the
Grand Army occupies the ground on
which the Duke of York was encamp
ed.
The unfortunate affair which has hap
pened to the Duke of York,will not much
effed the general operations of the Army.
° At the fame time it must be observed,
thabthe very severe less of the British and
Hanoverian troops,is likely to prevent the
Allies from forcing the French from their
pfefent position, so soon as was ex^eded.
It has been this morning whispered,
that a mifunderftandin^ has for some
time subsisted between tne Duke of York
and the Austrian Commanders, particu
larly Clairfayt. It is laid, that this jea
lousy has prevented the Imperialists from
giving proper support to his Royal High
ness, of whole successes near Landrecy,
they were not a little envious.
It is supposed that the whole of the Al
lied Army will again attack the French

" THE extensive combinations of a
grand manoeuvre,preventing all the corps
of an army from anting together in a close
and interfered country, one of the dirif
ions of the combined army has been o
bliged to retreat, on account of the great
Superiority of the enemy's forces, and to
fail back to the camp of Marquain.
" This retrogade march ought not to
- mfpire any terror, for the greater part of
the combined army, yet untouched, will
serve as a point of reunion,fo that we Ihall
be enabled to give battle to the French,
and drive them out of Flanders. All the

quested to remain calm and tranquil, as
they have nothing to fear : Their Sover

as he ought, their zeal, attachment, and

to make our whole bodyprifoners.
In this situation the Britiflf Army
found themselves compelled to ensure
their retreat by fighting their way thro'
the enemy. This they accomplished in
the most gallant manner, though with a
melancholy loss, both of men and officers.
The Hannoverian; were the firft to re
treat. They created the greatest confu

our foot, but threw the whole army into

of the French.

having fired a volley on them, which kill

errour the French pursued the Duke and
his companions until they came near a
river. The Duke threw himfelf off his
horse, and so did another gentleman and
waded through the River ; the third took
the water with his horse. Allthis was
done under the fire of the French, who
bad brought a fix pounder to bear on
them. On the other fide of the River the
Duke fortunately met a red horse of Capt.
Murray's which he mounted, and thus
arrived in fafety at Tournay. In o?her
part's of this day, the Duke, and indeed all
the officers were much exposed. The
Duke's Secretary had his hat (hot thro',
and an orderly Serjeant, dole to the
Duke, was killed."

Col. Craig, Adjutant General to the
army of the Duke of York, arrived in
town yesterday. Shortly after some let
ters ofa later date than those in the Ga
zette, reached town from Flanders ; from
which we have the fatisfadion to learn,
that Gen. Clairfayt has' obtained an ad

which far more than recompenses for the
check, so bravely, though difadvanta

Whitehall, may 20. —A letter (of
which the following is an extrad) from
his royal Highness the Duke of York, dat
ed Tournay, May 16, 1794, was yesterday
received by the Right Hon. Henry Dun
das, his Majesty's principal Secretary of
State for the home department.
" WHEN I sent my last letter, the en
emy had succeeded in forcing the passage
of the Sambre, and had consequently o
bliged General Kaunitz to retreat, and
to take up a position between Rouferay
and Binck, in order to cover Mons/n
which, the French having attacked him
the day before yesterday, he had the good
fortune to repulse them completely, arid
to drive them beyond the Sambre.—The
enemy's Ibfs is computed at 5000 men and
three pieces of cannon.
"This success having perfeaiy secured
that part ofthe country, his Imperial Ma
jefty immediately determined to march to
my assistance, and arrived here yesterday
himfelf, leaving his brother, the Arch
duke Charles to condud his army to
Orchies."

" An account has just been received
here that Gen. Clairfayt beat the French
completely yesterday before Courtray.
He is said to have taken 25 pieces of can
non,and to have killed at least 2000 men.
He drove them into Courtray in the great

not official, I think may be depended
Bt late arrivals in this port, we
have received several fil^ of Paris
papers to the 26th Floreal, (16th
May) which are full of accounts of
the success of the French troops in
various parts. The official account
of the vidory over the Spaniards,
is dated at Ceret, 12th Flareal, and
signed by Milhaud, Dugomier, and
Sohbrany. About 200 cannon and
(hells were taken, and 2000 prifon
oners. They inform that several
Spanifb Generals were killed ; but
