TOURNAY, May 3.
ON the firft, the French, under Dam
piere, attacked General Clairfait\
posts, at Raimes and Kicogen, with confid
erable force.—Their intention probably
was to relieve Conde, which they would
have succeeded in, had they taken theft
Posts.—They made four several attacks
from five in the morning until the even
ing, but were repulsed with the aiftance
of a detachment from rhe Prussians under
General Knodlefdorf, sent from their camp
at Maudle, notwithstanding a French
corps which was posted in front of the
Camp to keep them in check. The two
battalions of Pruffianshad left the camp
near Tournay, to 'reinforce those posted
at Maulde. The affair was severe, and the
loss great on both sides ; but the French
completely repulsed.
The fame day, the French also left their
Camp at Famars, and attacked Prince Co
hourg's Posts, at St. Sauce and Urmaing,
probably with a view to prevent his giv
ing any assistance to Clairfait.
The Infantry advanced with an inten
tion of turning the left of the Austrians,
and at the fame time kept up a violent
and heavy cannonade and feint attack
from the right, but were so well received
from the rights by the Austrians, that
they fell back into two villages in great
disorder, so the amount of 15,000, and
were some time exposed co a heavy canon
ade, by which they loft 5 or 600 men,
without daring to move out until their
Cavalry advanced and covered their re
treat, which they made in great confu
fion, and were pursued by the Austrians
beyond the last height before their Camp
at Famars, which the latter would have
forced, had they been stronger. The
French have loft 12 pieces of cannon, a
mong which were two 16 and three 12
pounders—the jest were 8 and 6 pound
ers. These attacks which were evident!)
meant to relieve or raise the siege of Conde,
by turning out exadly contrary to their
expertation, will probably hasten its fur
render.
We had yesterday a small affair with the
French at Rumes. The French chose to
attack us and were fools enough to bring
acannon, which the )had time to fire but
once, the Austrian Cavalry falling in
sword in hand before they could load
again, & took the canton, and an ammu
nition waggon with 8 horses The French
had 1 5 or 16 killed, and 14 taken, among
whom,- was an artillery officer. The
French made a confufed stand, on the road
and fields ; but on the arrival of two
Hanoverian cannon,and firing a couple of
rounds at them, they took to their heel;
and retired to a tillage, into which we
fired a couple of shots more, which fright
ened them to such a degree, that they run,
and did not stop until they got to Orchies.
The Guards and Hanoverian Horse were
not there, being at too great a distance to
arrive in time. We had only a Battalion
of Hanoverian Foot, and some Austrian
Cavalry,. We had only one Austrian kil
led,and one horse.,
Every preparation is making to com
mence immediately the attack of Conde.\
The train of Artillery is completely bus
ied in filling bomb (hells ; and the ditch
and earth works are almost finifhed.m
On the ift inst the French attacked
the advanced polls of the left wing of the
combined army, but were repulsed in,ll
their attempts. On the fame morning

the French also attacked the advanced
tofts on the centre, but were there like
vise repulsed : They fuffered in these fev
eral engagements a considerable loss both
jf men and cannon.

NATIONAL CONTENTION.
April 23.-The Deputies returned
from Valenciennes, stated, that they had
taken every precaution to counteract the
ill effects of the extreme dearth of provi
fions experienced in that city, through
he treachery of Dumourier, who had
conveyed stores to the enemy. -The fron
r eir towns, they added, were, in a refpea
<ble state of defence. They had narrowly
escaped being foot by a sea of counterrevo
tutionalifts, whilst haranguing the troops

Barbaroux impeached Monge, the
Marine Minister, whom he thought guil

to the port of Marjeilles, and returning
thither from the colonies, to be captured
by the English and Spanish fleets, not

May 13.— It is impossible to give an
adequate Idea of the Impreflion which
the disastrous Accounts from the Depart
ments have made upon Paris. A Proc
lamation was issued, commanding all
Persons either to serve perfenally, or to
contribute according to their Fortune. —
Nothing can equal the Spirit which it has
raised ; 600 Livres are offered to Volun
teers, 200 paid down, and 400 on their
Return at the End of three Months fed
if they shall fill in Defence of their coun
try, an Annuity to be fettled on their
Wives and Children. To find the means
of doing this, an Assessment is made on
all he Inhabitants according to their Cir
cumstances. Already the Number to be
supplied by Paris are ready to march.
The Prince is unwell in the Temple,
but not dangerously. A Physician is or

his Mother. ~
This farce will most probably be fol
owed by a tragedy, on the arrival of the
Marfeillois, who will fee Marat in the
ight ofa much injured Patriot.

AUGUSTA, May 25.— By a Gentle
man arrived last Night from the weftern
Waters, we have certain Intelligence, that
Jobbery and Carnage every where pie

set off one hundred and fifty Privates (all
Volunteers) besides Officers, marched in

had committed incredible Mifchiefs—
Governour Blount allured him, tha
Seagrove had been the foie Source of these
Misfortunes, having deceived Congress,
assuring, that illustrious Body of i eace in
the Midst of Hostility.
The Creeks were in arms at the Period
that this Agent for Indian Affairs wrote
and published his Chronicles of their
Tranquility, the more effectually to pro

Fortune.
So fully persuaded are the People of
that Country and their Governour, of his
Guilt, that they would chearfully, if
found within their Jurifdidion, surren
der him to the Creeks as some Atonement
for the numerous Massacres committed
under his infernal Agency.
KNOXVILLE, May g.—By a Compa
ny of Travellers who^arrived at Green

day, the 18th of April, from Kentucky,
we learn, that just before their Departure
from thence, a Station bad been attacked
by Indians, who killed three Persons and
made eighteen Prisoners, whom they car
ried some Distance into the Woods and
put to Death. They also informed, that
on Monday the 15th, the Day they left
Kentucky, another Station was attacked,
but had not learned the Particulars. As
hey paflfed the Station, on the Kentucky
Trace, at Rock-Castle, the Houses were
on Fire, having been previously abandon

HALIFAX, June 12. —We are in
formed, by some Gentlemen lately from
dugufla, that 13 Towns of the Creek Na
tion had declared War against the State
of Georgia, and had chosen a half-breed,
by the name of GoLPHiN,as their Chief;
several Scalps had already been taken by
small Parties of Warriours, whose princi
pal Objed in their Incursions appeared
to be plunder.
The Executive of Georgia had equip
ped and marched to the Frontiers four
Troops of Horse ; the whole Militia were
divided into three Classes, Part of the firft
have been put into Motion towards the
Frontier, the remainder were to hold
themselves in Readiness to march at a
minute's Warning. The Governour has
taken most prudent and vigorous Meas
ures to put the Country in a State of De
fence and adive Operation —the Geor
gians have no Idea of submitting ! ° be

Translated Extrad ofa Letter from a rejpefl
able Merchant at Rotterdam (a Hollan
der) to his Friend in this Town, d^ted
20th Docember, 1792.
" The Frehch Troops are near enough
to our Frontiers,and if they succeed driv
ing the Prussians and Austrians over the
Rhine, it is likely they may pay us a Visit,
which will be altogether disagreeable to
ome, who, by their Publications, prove
tow much they apprehend. The French
Emigrants are now every where as much
as proscribed. What palpable Contra
didiion ! in July it was published, that
no Asylum should be afforded to " their
King's Traitors," and now, as this King
is imprisoned, and shall probably be sen
tenced to die on the Scaffold, it is pro
hibited to harbour the very Men who es
poused his Cause. In the firft Instance,
the American Minister, or Agent, Short,
conduced himfelf not as the Envoy of a
Republick, but as a Minion of Despot
ism ; he was among those who then (hew
ed the French Minister the most Difie-.

as a prize to the Citizen Genet, for the
purpose of detaining here, un'il, by nego

Diftria having pronounced the cause not
within its jurifdidion.

that the Britilh Cabinet are tampering

States into the Coalition of the Rulers of
