66 Since my left letter to yeu, three
men of the names of Wallace, Poor,
and Richard Van Sickle, left this
place on the sth instant, in order to
go to Fort Put; they were attacked
by the Indians when Wallace and Poor
were killed, the other returned and
gave me this information— The day
following I ordered five Senecas and
five white men, not belonging to the
girrifon,to go in search of the deceas
ed ; they found Wallace and Poor
shot, Scalped and tommahawked, and
after burying them returned."

Delano, from Liverpool we have received
London papers to the: tSth nt May.
r These papersmelull of what their Editors
and the Loyalills in England confider as the
most glorious intelligence, which lias ciftin
guifhed the present waragainft France —their
soldiers are all herpes, andaU equally tucceff
fulin all their expeditions—The conquest ct
Martinico is viewed as a capital atchiuvment
—and the reduaion of Landrecy is pronoun
ced a most decisive event —They already an
ticipate the deftruftion of the present govern
ment in France, and the re-establishment of
monarchy and order — The Parliament have
voted their approbation of a treaty fubfidiz
ing the King of Prussia at an expense of one
million ahd eight hundred thousand pounds
sterling per annum. 400,000 of which is to
be paid by the Dutch. Unfortunately.how
ever, they cannot wholly conceal thefruth
from the deluded people of that infatuated
country.
It appears 'hat at Menin which the French
captured, the Combined powers loft nearly
half the garrison in its flight, and which con
fcquently fell with all its Bores in:p the hands
of our republican Friends.
Clairfayt's defeat was a Rout, according
to their own account ; and according to that
Os the French commilboner, Richard, amoft
complete viaory. The Austrians loft most
of their standards, and 33 pieces of artillery ;
4000 killed and taken prisoners on the field,
among which were several officers of diftinc
tion —Gen. Clairfayt was very dangerously
wounded.

Saturday arrived Capt. Lamb, in a schoo
ner from Bourdeaux, in 43 days. We have
French papers by this arrival to the begin
ning gf'&lay ; they contain nothing of im
portan'oe which we have not published.
The verbal intelligence by Capt
Lamb is highly favourable to the
cause of republicanism. The rebels of

The French army gained a most fpto
did vidory over the Spaniards About
the ift of May, and have killed and
taken prisoners 700 men, with 260
pieces of artillery.
Capt. Lamb further declares, that
the French were very fpccefsful in
Flanders, and that Nieupoit and Fur-
nes, as well as Mefiir. aß£q±g^
have fallen before them.
He like wife informs, hit thera^Ere

There is nothing said of famine in France,
we may conclude therefore, that there, is not
even a scarcity there.

" This evening arrived here in the ftege
from Newyork, a Mr. Davis, piffenger in the
ship James, Capt. Howard, arrived at New
york. Mr. Davis left the Royal Exchange
in London exadly forty days ago, and brings
with him extraordinary news indeed, to this
amount—" that there was a Revolutionary Ar
my of 60,000 men in London." —Strange to
tell, the Dukes of Clarence and Bedford at
the head—That at the head of this force, the
latter addressed the King coming from the
house of Lords, informing him that the peo
ple no longer wished his services in England,
nor did they with to hurt him, but advised
him to retire immediately to Hanover, whith
er, it is also said, he had previously sent an
immense sum of money. The King of Pruf
filhad certainly withdrawn, and it was be
lieved and reported that Spain had acknow
ledged the Republic of France."
