melancholy pollute of affairs in Weftflanders
—Ypres Surrendered yesterday morning. The
garrison qonfifting often batallions, much re
duced in number by the siege; are prisoners
of war, and have been conduced to Lille.—
The Hanoverians are at Bruges, where the
British, who were at Oltend, joined them last
night. Gen. Cerfak is at Thielt, and un
less he receives reinforcements must fall back
upon Ghent to morrow. Never was seen
fach a break tip as that of yesterday at Of
tend. Every body that could find the means
were quitting the place. The magistrates &
people of property were all gone. When the
French come they will find nothing but mag
azines empty, shops shut up, and houses de
serted. Gen. Stewart yesterday gave leave to
allthe inhabitants to departs All the flrips in
the harbour were ordered out into theroad,
& all the baggage belonging to the ftaff, the
85th regiment of foot, & Bth dragoons, was
embarked. The departure of Prince Ernest
was the signal of alarm & flight. The French
came yesterday with 20,000 men to Rouffela
er: A picqutt of jp n@of the Bth dragoons
sent out in the motyuig, was furroanded and
taken before Giftefi. As far as we can judge
from appearances, Nieuport and Oftend will
be abandoned to them in a few days, without
striking a blow, for the inundations have not
produced the expe&ed effeft. The French
have again passed the Sombre, and invested
Charleroi with mdre numerous forces thin
before, so that we have no assistance to hope
from that quarter, but much to fear."
JUNB 28. The tranjporb ijuitb Lord Moira's
arm, was in fight of Offend on Wednesday. His
Lord/bip's orders, however, are not to land, if
Ypres should be taken.—Reports were circulated
at Offend on Wedneida, of the capture of Oude
narl. If this be true, the Duke of York's'pofition
is extremal, central. The whole amount of the
force under his Ro,al Highness and the Prince of
Cobourg, does not exceed 46,000 men.—-On the
banks of the Sambre, the gentleman fates, that the
French have been equall, Juccefsful. The, have
taken Charleroi, and were on Monday evening
within fix mile, of Bretfels.—Tbe emigrants in
the garrison of Ypres, were Jurrendered to the
French. Their number, however, did not amount
to more than 50.

We also hear that Mr.. Jay, had been cordi

be made for all the property illegally taken

Mr. Pitt had informed the British merchants
Ithat they might go on with their fhjpments

front and rear , that it will require great dexterity
on the part of Clairfa,t and the Duke of York, to L
extricate them from their prejent embarruffarat•
This infaa appears now to bo their main objeß,
as we read of aCouncil of War being held, end of
their determination to fall back, to prevent no
doubt, the French from falling qn them. Utz
One. thing is now quite apparent): the allied
powers have given up all ideas of conquering tbe
Republicans, a.id have been obliged for jome tia#\':
pof, to aft altogether u p cn the defenfwe, at leaf
in the Netherlands.
On the whole, the affairs of fir facobinfriends
were never so well faulted as they are at this mo
ment, notwitbfanding tbiir late loft at fa —For
even on this occasion the, maintained their honours,
b, keeping the sea, and what is of the wf conje
quence, secured their otjea=& arrival ts the
Chesapeake feet. On the land, they have three ,•
armies rufoing, like a torrent into Flanders ; one
under Fromentine from the Ardennes , this is the
fmallef —one under Jourdan, which has been very
jucctfsful—and the principal under Pichegru,from
Life and, its vicinity.—These three grand divis
ions, marebingfrom eppofed points, have taken, as
we have mentioned betore, the frong town of Ypres
on one fide, and Charleroi on the other, and arefaft
approximating ,to a common centre—ajunaion of
forces which the dufriant cannot refif.
By an arrival at Philadelphia Aug. 14, in
44 days from Falmouth, it is dated, under
.London head — That the accounts of the in
effeaual attempts of the Duke of York and
Gen. Clairfait to relieve Ypres are con firmed
to the full extent ; the French have brought
460,000 to bear upon the Flanders frontier,
and no army which the allies have to oppose
it is equal to the conflict. , That Gen. Clair
fait fought with his ufnal bravery, and his
usual misfortunes Loft avast number of men,
his Whole army harraffed & exhausted. That
the fall of fpre§ necessarily exposes Bruges &
Oftend. Thus, instead of an offenfive cam
paign in the fields of France, the allies are re
duced to the fad and unprofitable talk of de
fending Flanders, and it is even now a doubt
ful point, Whether they will be able to keep
their ground in that country.
The Oracle, a London paper, fates, that
the Archduke and the Emperor, are set off
for Vienna, and that the Austrian forces are
to be withdrawn, from the utter impossibili
ty of making head against the French.
The vessel we learn, has brought papers
to the 26th June—and it is said that Admi
ral Montague had been chafeef into port by
nine French snips of the line.
There are rumours in circula
tion, that Turin is taken by the
French-that tbe Duke of York
is miffing, &>c.
