Letters from Rotterdam report,
- that the French have defeated the al
lied troops before Nimeguen, and ta
ken possession of that fortrefs. They
add, that the French have made ov
ercures to M. Bernftorff, for a General
Peace, whose answer was, that he
could not undertake such a weighty
bufineG without the concurrence of
England.
The grand Penfionary, Fagel, is
not yet arrived in England. His sec

oct. gt. It is now considered as
certain, that the king of Prussia has
formally notified to our mioifters, his
intention of withdrawing all his troops
from the war against France, except
his contingent as a prince of the em
pire $ and as he has various unliqui
dated claims on the other states of the
empire, be will most probably find a
pretext for withdrawing his ' contin

Frankfort, oct, i 5. A number
of letters from Bsfil and Bourne, in
Switzerland, assure m that the peace
between the king of Prussia & France
was signed on thefaft ult. One of
these letters, dated Rome, 19th O&
fays, " This morning we received
from M. de Marevel, the important
news that peace was concluded be
tween the king of Prussia and France.
M. de Mareval himfelf signed the
' treaty between the two French Com

Amsterdam, oct. 24. Letters
received this day by several houses,
bring the most melancholy intelli
gence that the Ruffian army had at
tacked and totally defeated the Polish
iarmy under Gen. Kofcuifco ; that
that Gen & with several other general
officers, and all his Etat Majors were
taken prisoners, and that the Ruffians
immediately after this marched tow
ards Warsaw. The Messenger, who
brought this intelligence to Berlin,
was immediately dispatched to Pots
dam. We wait the confirmation of
this account by the next letters from
Hamburgh.
We have nothing certain refpeft
ing the late adions by the British
troops and the French on Saturday
lift, near Nimeguen; but the head
quarters of the former were removed
on the 21st to Arnheim ; and all the
accounts that have reached us agree in
ftatiog, that the French begin the at
tack of Nimeguen on the 22d; that
the Dutch troops had evacuated that
place to fall back on the line of Greb,
and that it was generally foppofed
that Nimeguen could not hold out
long, being unprovided with maga
zines and cannon. Venlo has capitu
lated, but we have no account of the
state of things at Macftricht and
Grave, which places are entirely in
vested by the enemy. Thiel has been
bombarded from the opposite fide of
the Waal.

That the Duke of York's Head
4 Queers fa od the) 15th of October
between Nimeguen and Arnheim ; st
the latter of which places die Duke
himfelt had arrived—and that it was
expeded his Head Quarters would
shortly be removed thither—that an
attempt hid been made to drive the
French from between the river Maete
and Waal, in which the British bad
been defeated—that every thing was
in coofufion at Nimeguen, the flench
having unexpectedly, crossed the Maefe,
and advanced to within a league and
an half of that place, surprised a Srit
ifh regiment, and entirely cut it to
pieces, not leaving a single man alive
—that Venlo was invested by 15,000
French,,who were also in great force
at Ruremonde—-that the garrison of
Maeftricht made a vigorous lorcie, and
killed agreat number of the besiegers
—fa<the,patriotic foci^ty of Amster
dam had 'been broken up and their

airy had entered the city of Cleves,
but departed in the evening without
doing any mifehief—and that the Im
perial Diet are concerting plans'for
negotiating a peace with the French
Republic.
Different accounts relate that the
Ruffians have had several severe en
gagements with the Poles, in which
the latter teem to have been generally
much worsted ; and as great numbers
of the vanquished would not ask par
don of their conquerers, they were
butchered on the spot.
. Accounts from the Lower Elbe,
state, that intelligence has been re
ceived from Ratifyon, that the diet
have agreed to debate the question on
the cessation of hostilities—that the
Coadjutor of Mayence will proceed to
Paris for the purpose of accelerating
it—and that the Greffier of Holland
is said to have gone to London, to re
move the obstacles to a negotiation of
- peace with France.

Translation from a Paris paper, of OR. 21.
It is rumoured that Spain wishes to
enter on negotiations for Peace ; it is
added that an envoy has arrived here
from the Court of Madrid : we are
not officially informed of this, but it
is very Certain since Roberfpierre's
party have loft their influence, the
number orour enemies have diminish
ed in the interior of the Republic, and
that the French- government acquires
abroad a preponderance so great as to
alarm and difconcergfee coalesced
powers.

"The talk of Peace grows louder
iand louder; and, it is said, that two
additional deputies from England,
furnifhed with new inftroaions, are to

On Sunday evening arrived the ship
Juliana, Caps, Willink, 7 weeks from
Hamburgh. The verbal information
of the Captain is, that no latent en
gagemerit of magnitude had taken
place since the battle of, Jufers, and
that Amsterdam to not taken, butits
filiation appeared & critical tothe
Duke of York, that he propafed
marching into it with 15,000 of hit
troops to defend it. This, however,
it appears, was received with indigna
tion by the merchants, whq declared
they would footer take the mkfket
and defend it themfelve§, at long it
they were able; and that if they prov
ed too weak, they would surrender to<
the French, rather than permit it to
belaid, that the capital of Holland
was indebted fqr its fafety to the
troops of George the Hid;-- Captain
Willink left about 60 American ves
sels at Hamburgh. Spoke none.
The latest intelligence from Ham
burgh, Palis and London, warrants a
belief that Peace will ere long be re
ftoted to a great part of diftraded Eu
ropf.—Pruffia has treated separately, & Hol
land threatens to do the fame if her allies will
not join her in suing for it.— Nothing ap
pears on the part of England that Ihews her
proud foirit broken ; her obstinacy is cer
tainly the effect of an unaccountable madness.
Prussia hasprobably ceca th mefl prudent part
—her allies will not be able probably to purchase
peace at so cheap a rate, forth? more the league is
weakened, the higher muff the French ripe in their
terms of peace.
Os the Battle
between Kosciusko and the Ruffians

the following particulars :
That the battle lasted from 7 of

the midst of the fire. Three horses
werekilled under him^ With the firft

NEWYORK, Jan. & The hft ad-'
vices from Europe, confirm our ideas
receding a revolution io the heart of
that part of the world. -Accounts
from Bsfle in Switzerland; mention
that the Grifons have formed a pop
ular Assembly, and are making re
forms in their government sThia
has given umbrage to the Emperor,
who has guaranteed the treaty of ca
pitulation, by which the inhabitants
of several diftrids became fubjeds of
the three leagues of the garrisons.-
The Emperor has demanded a fefto
ration of the former state of things
and reparation ; but no answer is re
ceived;•
The voice of Germany is for peace,
and the plan of arming the empire
meets daily widi increased opposi
tion ; two members only haying ac
ceded to it. :
That Prussia is making a separate
peace with France, is reported with
confidence and seems to gain belief.
The affairs of the Dutch are in con
fufion.
The citizens of Amsterdam seem
inclined to hazard the dominion of the
French, rather than make resistance.
The policy of detaching Holland
from England, will be urged by the
French, and a separate peace, not
withstanding the Stadtholder's oppo
firioo, will probably be the conse
quence.
Great complaints are made of the
plunder committed by the British sol
diery ; and much pralfe is bestowed
on the French for the exad difcipliae
of their troops, which restrains them
from similar praaicer.
Jan. 9. From London papers to
November 1, we learn, that it is gen
erally believed in England, that the
king of Prussia has notified the min
istry of his determination to withdraw
his troops from the Rhine, except his
contingent as member of the empire.
The infurtedions in his own domin
ions, require his military nearer home.
Letters from Italy state, that the
French have made propofition# of
peace to the King of Sardinia, offer
