NATURAL HISTORY.
MR. RUS,ELL,
I AM defrous that the office of Regifler of Deeds
for she county of Rockingham,foould, in future
be kept nearer the centre of the county than it hath
been heretofore; and therefore beg leave to ajk the
voters in general, whether, by giving their fuf
frag" far
Dc&or Thomas Sargeant,
of Chefer, whoje integrity, and ability to execute
said office, cannot, I think, be doubted, they would
not do more justice to each other, than by voting
for any person who refidu in Portfmoutb or Ex
eter?

" WE hasten to inform you of the success of
the arms of the Republic. The main of the
army, divided into two columns, marched
yesterday, at three in the morning, towards
Bitche and tht Prussian camp near Bliefcaffel.
The troops of the Republic furmotinted all
the obstacles which the satellites ofdefpotifm
had railed on the roads to impede the ardour
of our soldiers. We reached the enemy's our
pofts, and charged them ; they made no re
finance, and inftantiy advanced under ^he
cannon of the Prussian camp. The battle
immediately began with thegreateft fury.

Mr. Russell,

fore recommend to their confederation .

ELECTIONEERING.
To lose more or less ground upon the right,
may be indifferent to him, but he wHlendea
vour towards Weahrt, not to be cut off from
General Wut mfer ; he will not give battle,
uulefs he be forced before he approaches the
defiles of Neuftadt. The Duke does not fee
any advantage which might arise by attack
ing the French beyond the Saar, while the
season is thus far advanced.
'^ , % BRUSSELS, NOV. 29.
After the repulse of the Prussians at Bitche
in which according totheir own account their
loss has been very considerable, the current
has ap,eared to turn in favour of the French.
In that assault, Prince Frederick of Prutlia,
received a fever© wound in the ihoulder. Os
the Prussian army it is said that the attempt
cost them no less than Bco killed, and 1300
Wounded. The battalion of the grenadiers
of Runi|ky,whowilhed firft to scale the walls,
was almost entirely destroyed..
This affair took place on the evening of
rhe 16th; and on tne morning of the 17th
the French made ah attack on Bliefcaftel,
but the Dyke of Brunswick having succeeded
in turning their right wing, they were re
pulsed, but with what loss has riot yet been
ascertained.
On the 18th, another dreadful engage
ment took place between the Austrians un
der Gen. Wurmfer, and the troops of the
enemy in the vicinity of Stralbourg, aided
by a Part of the garrison of that fortrefs.
The accounts here fay that the loss was ex
tremely fcvere on both sides, but the lilence
obfetved receding the particulars, furnifties
no favourable augury. L '
This was followed by x third engagement
on the 21st. when Gen. Wurmfer was attack
ed in all his pofitionc. The daughter was
prodigious. @
The iofs of the Austrians is calculated at
6000 killed and wounded, and yet their per
fevering bravery compelled the french # to
retire to the heights of Saverne, where they
have an entrenched camp.. The Austrians
resumed, for a time; their former petition ;
merit for drawing out their numerous cav
alry ; it was soon dispersed by our light ar
tillery. A movement made by our right
column with its twenty five pieces of canhon,
accelerated our victory, and the defeat of the
enemy. We entered Bliefcaffel, where we
found some stragglers, the greater part ot
whom we took prisoners. Nothing equals the
constancy and courage ofour soldiers. The
fatigues of the combat and the approach of
night prevented us from following the pur
suit any further.
" Not only CaTra in this country, but
cava. We are now at Limgack, 2 leagues
distant from Deux Pont. The flock ot slaves
will soon repent their having sullied the land
of liberty.
NOV. 22. Thefollowing letter from Citizen
La Hoche, commander of the arm, oj the Mofell,
was read.
Head Quarters, at Bliefcaffel, Nov. 19.
" You will learn with pleasure, that out of
the five divisions of the Moselle, four routed
and defeated the enemy, and the fifth served
as a corps of obfervatiom Theattack began
on the 17th, about fix o'clock in the morn
ing, and for a distance of three leagues, from
one height to another, through a thick fog
and detectable roads, the Sans Culottes re
pulsed the well eloathed. Being arrived on
the heights ofßifengue,thefe gentlemen took
station there. The division upon the right,
whom I ordered to charge, did it vigorously ;
the a&ion lifted till night, the enemy profit
ed by it, to retire towards Hombeurg and
Deux Ponts, where I hope to pay them a
visit.
" The division of Vincent repulsed them
on the fame day as far as St. Imbert ; and a
fourth, commanded by Ambart, left Saar
Louis, and sent them to get fiipper beyond
Lebach, after having taken a great number
of prisoners, both horse and foot ; in short,
Bitche, which they attempted to take by
storm, is free, and the petition of Hornbach
will be taken to night.
, Signed, "J. HOCHE."
DEUX FONTS, NOV. 13.
We have very lately received advice, that
the Prussians loft 600 men in their attempt
upon Bitfohe, but that the enemy having this
day been cut off by a fKijful manoeuvre of the
Duke of Brunswick, a whole regiment of re
publicans has been cut to pieces.
The plan of taking Bitfohe by surprise, or
rather the citadel, which would have been a
great acquifitiion,as it commands the defiles,
was attempted in the night of the 16th, and
miscarried. The town was easily taken, and
the Prulhans even penetrated in the zig zag
to the last gate towards the citadel, where the
French, with balls, timber, ft^nes, and boil
ing water, forced the assailants to retreat,
with the loss of several hundred men.
The French have since that invaded Ger
many & taken possession of Bliefcaftle, Ham
bourg, and Deux Ponts, and penetrated as
far as Landfthul, at the distance of , leagues
from Lautern.
It is pcffible that the Duke of Brunswick
will retreat still farther.
FRANKFORT, NOV. 24.
The King of Spain has ordered the
railing of 60,000 men to reinforce
his army : He has also taken 6000
Swift into his service, four regiments
of which he is to keep in peace.
The Royalists of La Vendee, who
have so frequently been said to be ex
terminated, have marched in 2 col.
umns, creffed La Loize, and ftongly
attacked Dol, Avanches, St. Maloes,
and Granville. The Representative
of the people of La Carpentier, wrices
that the infurgenti have taken Dol,
and were ftrengrhening it ; and that
on the 17th of Nov. the, attacked
Granville, and were tepulfed. Let

Convention announce that that town
was surrounded. °"
[Accounts by the British Packet,
mention that the Earl of Moira (for

British troops were at Guernsey, op

LONDON, NOV. Ig.
A gentleman lately arrived from
Paris, and who had been several times
in company wirh Thomas Paine, the
Outlaw, declares, that he is in daily
expectation of terminating his career
by the guillotine, to which he has
made up his mind. His voting to
fend Louis XVI. to Africa, is the
cause assigned, which renders him a
suspicious character there.

dec. 7. In Fort Lewis, captured
by the allied arms, there were found,
112 pieces of ordnance, 15 waggons,
and four thousand prisoners. The
combined forces was commanded by
Gen. Wurmfer.
By the Bririfn Deember Packet, which
arrived here the 14th ink. we are enabled to
lay before our readers the latest European
Intelligence; a perusal of which will thew,
that the late successes of the French had not
cealed ; but that in every instance they have
been the affeilants, and in almost every in
stance have been fuccefsful. The praises be
stowed upon them by the allied Veterans,
appear to have been well deserved ; and the
spirit which animates every part of the Re
public, inspires them with an enthusiasm and
valour, which proves an overmatch for the
discipline and experience of their enemies.
Great part of the allied army have gone into
Winter Quarters —The Duke of York at
Valenciennes, Quefnoy, &c. —The Prince of
Cobcurg, at Conde &c. Gen. Jourdan's ar
my were kill on the field, but it'was supposed
would go to Lisle. The French have enter
ed Deux-Ponte and Spain. Toulon was not
retaken; Lord Howe's fleet was at sea the
loth of December ; and the French Royal
ists were meditating an attack on St. Maloes,
in order to receive fuccours from England.
They have also entered into the Luxem
bcurg, which was left neatly without, de
fence, and Cat ried off la^ge quantities of pre
visions and stores. They have changed
thtir quarters -near Phillipp^ville, and have
moved up the Sambre towards Thoum.
but by liter accounts, we learn, that Cv-
Wurmfer, wi;h the greater part of his ara,
has retired to Hegtuu.
