WARSAW, toy 21. It is mentioned that
the Polilh General Kofciufcow had made a
movement from Cracow to Staffaw, about i§
miles, witti 'intent to' drive the Remans to
wards South Fruflia.' Gen. Grofchowki had
been detached by him towards Lublin with
12,000 men, to an^oy the en my in that
quarter. All the accounts agree, that the
Poles at Shole,were.furprifed by the Prussians
"under Gen. Favrat, on the igth. The for
mer were very indifferently armed, and fled
Qty the fiifforfecond discharge of artillery,
leaving on the field a General and a number
of prisoners: The Prussian cavalry could not
taffy them far, on account of the unfavora
blenefs of the ground. Some accounts call
this. General Kofciufcow's advanced guard.
The King of Prussia, it is said, in ends to join
the corps of the army under Gen. Favrat.—
Orders have been received, from Gen. Kofei
^ ufeow to arm the firft line of citizens w^h fire
arms, the fecund with scythes, and ffrcihird
with pikes. \'
It is to be hoped,ihat the Uries', in con
cert with Sweden and Denmark, may fee, ere
it be too late fog their own fafety, the necefi
fity of anting in concert, to preserve Poland,
and fe-efta@iitithe balance of Europe.

Battles in the Netherlands.
Head Barters, at f^rnay, May fl.'
Early yefterdaf morning the enemy,
I attacked the petition pt Bettignifl &
1 Dougtes, with a cbnfiderable force, &
with the greatest vigour. Our firft
advanced posts, attacked by more than
2000 men, were obliged to fall back;
Irihey were immediately supported, but
[the light troops of the enenty having
4&eoattacked by 12,000 infantry, &
I about iooo cavalry, our piquets, af
ter an obstinate a—ion of two houii,
were obliged to fall back to our po-
; fiuon 0 Succours were immediately
b 4 brought tip; our troops broke thro'
them with fixed bayonets, and the
enemy, after a long and spirited refift
„mice, were obliged to abandon the vil
'iage of Dougies, & its trenchments.
Our brave troops re ed totheir firft
position, and the my into M&
beuge. @
Four hundred remained d^ad upon
the field, and a great number were
wounded. Our loft amounts to j^
then. The troops who had to cofri
tend with such a Superiority, fought
with a bravery which furpaffei praise.
On the 23d of this month, M.

of the principal attack,! can speak with
certainty to the most important faffs.l
P "On Tuefday morning, at two o'-
clock, the Emperor, attended by the 1
Arch Duke Charles, Geo. Mack, Col.
Stiebehutz, and an English Lord, 1
(probably Lord Yarmouth,) suited
at Gemappe, . and immediately rode
to the left wing of pur, army# which
extended along the Sambre, from
Namur, to above Charleroi. The
centre was nearly between Goffelies
rMFrafoes. The main body of the
French was at Goffelies, and in the
villages of Toumion and Viepx Vine,
a league distant from Geffeiie's. W
three o'clock the 'Emperor .attackedl
them in these three points, and the 4
Austrians were twice reputed The
fire of grape foot and mufquetry then 1
became dreadful, and continued so tilll
half an hour past nine, when the three 1
posts were carried by the bayonet, and
a charge of the cavalry.,tie "French
quitted Goffefei crying out, "We
are fold—lave himfelf who can in the
wood of Lambu!” & retreated in con- I
fatal to the wood, and towards Mar
bue, while thole who occupied the
two villages repaired the Sambre.
The latter were vigorousy can nopad-1
ed by Gen. Beaulieu, who was potted
between the Sambre and the Meuse I
\to cut off the retreat Os the fugitives ;
but as they were reinforced by a con
fiderab' ebody of French, from the
lOther tide of the Sambre, which had|
been ;concealed in a wood to watch |
.Beaulieu's*motions; he was too weak
to execute this part of the plan.
" While this was puffing in the
centre, our right wing, reinforced by
the Dutch, attacked the enemy's left;
'and the garrison of Charleroi, which
,ad been clpfely besieged Jallted forth
: { ©he fame time. The French were
repuffed, some of them paged the
&mbre;Bnd some retreated to the
wood of Fleurus above Charterg.
' 66 Charleroi was the! entirely disen
gaged At eleven o'clock, the Em
peror,after taking some refreshment at
Goffelies, went thither, and found the,
place ftilbon fire. The French bombs
save damaged all the upper town,
and 23 of the inhabitants perished in
the ruins of their houfet. /;
;I,^'Our lo ' is not yet ascertained.
I crossed the field of battle on Tucf
day afternoon, and think there could|
root be less than five or fix thousand
French and Austrians lying dead upon
1 it ; perhaps four of the former for one
of the latter. Our right wing con
tinued fighting with the enemy for
the greater part of the night, and we
do not yet know the issue. , ;1
" The Prince of Saxe Cobou r g of-'
ered to resign, but the Emperor re
pefted him to /continue in command.
Ml. de Mack ifked leave to resign,
&'obtained it, oo pretext that ill
wealth will not allow him to remain
with the army. He goes to Vienna
with the Emperor^ .
" The Generate suspended from
command are. Count Kaunitz, Count
Kinzey, the Prince de Reuss, and Bar*
on de Schroder. Kaunjez and Kin
