alarming Fury of a Bear,

^^^^
I larmed by the growling of a bear—.he soon
discovered an old (he bear and two cubs.—
The old one immediately made towards him,
growling and very fierce. He immediately
took to the firft tree he Could find, which was
about 9 inches diameter, and about to feet
to the firft limbs ; , this he amended with all
possible speed, andfoevipg reached the limbs,
he called to the rteareft neighbor, who lived
about a quarter of a mile dift,nt, for help ;
the bear, on hearing Ms cries, retreated from
the tree, and hallooed also, which (he repeat
ed as often as he called for help. The bear
then returned to the tree, and climbed up
nearly to the firft limbs, but losing her hold, I
ihe fell to the ground—this enraged her, and 1
the again amended the tree with fill greater
velocity, and overtook him at the height of
about 30 feet, when the seized him by one
foot, but the ihoe coming off, (he fell a second
time to the ground - recovering, Ihe ascend
ed the tree a third time, and took off hjs oth
er shoe, he constantly calling for help, and
none to tie found. He had now afeended
the tree.as far as was fafe for him to venture,
the bear constantly tearing his feet with her*
teeth, till they became a most (hocking spec
tacle. The tear at length fattened her jaws
so powerfully to one of his heels, as to cause
thelimbs by which he held to break, and he
fell to the ground, the bear falling at the
fame time on the other fide of the tree ; and
notwithftandihg his feet were in this mang
led condition, he escaped to the nearest house
and arrived fafe. The distance from the
ground, by measurement, from whence the
young man fell, was 48 feet. It is fuppoted
that his repeated and eager cries for help,
tended to increase the ra^e and fury of the
bear, which had her whelps with her."'

From Ofend, ,une 29, (Sanda, afternoon.)
Lord Moira marched from this
place lift night, With 8000 men.
His destination is at present unknown
to us; but we foppofe his purpose is
to join Gen., Clairfayt, at Ghent.
Oftend would have been evacuated
left Wednesday morning, but for the
timely arrival of Lord Moira, with 60
fail of Whipping, and 8000 men.
' All experienced an anxious fufpence,
not knowing, under all circumstances,
whether he would land or not. Every
body is now drifting for himfelf ; such
confufion reigned for four hours as.
cannot easily be described. There is
not a bed to be had in the town, and
Ithe officers are accommodating them
selves as well as they can.
Lord Moira, who teems to be the
idol of hi, troops, has lain four nights
Qn the Sand Hills, with his men,
without any tent to cover bim.=All
here look up to his Lordship with
great hopes and confidence;
I never law men ii such high spir
its, nor in such fine order, nor so well -
equipped. In short, all was admira
tion here to fee such fine fallows Mak
ing each other by the hand, and with
ing acxioufly to engage the enemy.
The French seized on Bruges, and
the capitulation was figged ; but we
imagine, on viewing from the high
tower the British (hipping, they re
solved suddenly to abandon their ac
gittition. '?
Every thing is quiet here to day ;
, but we hourly exprft a battle ; and
all are anxious relpeding the confer
:quences.',.

The circum terence.of Ghent is 12
miles ; but it is a place of no great
ftreng ? h. The ground is, so extefr
five that half of it on the inside con
fitb of gardens. It is divided into 26
rflrnds, and over its rivers and canals
are 100 bridges. The French pof
iefled thtmfelves of this place, on the
death of Charles the 2d of Spain ;
but Charier the 3d retook it after the
battle of Ramuliet, in 1766. It was,
however, surprised by the French in
1708, but evacuated when the Duke
,of Marlborough reduced Lisle, )ln
Qieen Anae's wats, it was the prin

Yesterday morning a military board

br,st, JUNE 28. " The Grand
army of the North, of 160,000 men
are in peffiffion of all Weft fland^rs.
"The French republic, which was
in want,has been fyppiied abundantly,
and at the txperifeof her enemies—
simoft all the pfwrfroni deftin^d for
Spain and Portugal have been inter,
cepted— 200,000 quintals of grain
from Ireland,' England, and Germany,
and some Americans have entered the
ports of the Republic, 1200 thousand
yards of different wollens from Eng
land, one half cloths for land and lea
forces.
" A few days ago I was witness to
the entrance of 26 fail of Dutch (hips,
under convoy of a Dutch frigate—
the prizes made are loaded with cof
fee, cotton, sugar, indigo, and amount
to an enormous turn."

Madrid, June 16. The news
from the frontiers are most alarming ;
and our fears are aggravated by the
general distrust and want of co-opera
tion, both in our armies and amoog
the members of our cabinet.
Our losses on the ift of June are
attributed to the mifeonduft of M. de-
Solano, who commanded one of the
diviGons of our troops, and the cow
ardice of our miliria, who were panic
struck by the 6 ft fight of the French.
Our Generals affirm, that Collioure
would not have been loft, if our gun
boats had had the courage to come
near enough to impede the operations
of the befiegeri, and if Admiral Gra
vina's squadron had not been thirty
fix hours too late;
1 NotwithOanding these disasters, our
troops, we are told, have not loft their
confidence in M. de la Union. We
are even assured, that he has taken 2
batteries erected by the French before
Bellegarde, and that he has opened
fe communication between Belle
garde and the army. We dread,
however, that the French, in their
usual manner, will soon return to the
charge with great reinforcements, that
we shall not be able to check there
progress, and ths', they will enter
Catalonia, the passes to which are
difficult, but weakly guarded.■
To add to this, the French have
d penetrated into Navarre, with 14,000
men, and taken possession of a post
