SU MM ART.
THE impoflibility of giving at
length all the official papers of
the late glorious fuccefTes of the
French, which have already eftab«
lifhed the temple of Liberty upon
a rock, have induced the Editors
to epitomize the most in erefting
and important particulars of thole
brilliant events.
We have already detailed the
viftory of Gen. Pjchecru, over
the Bricifh and Hessian troops,
under the Puke of York. In
consequence of which, the defence
of Holland has been abandoned
by the Englifb, *
Gen. Claiufayt's army has
been also routed completely, with
the total 106 of baggage and ar
tilferyi on the 16th of September,
in the vicinity of Aix-la-Chapeile,
He was also forced to retreat co
Jubers, where the left terrible 6-
verthrpw of the Austrian force,
has laid aft Holland open co the
French.
What will be the result it is
impoffibk to fry* but it appears
that the Dutch will be obliged to
form a Revolution in their Gov- ~
ernment, to prevent an entire
eonqueft of their country.
The two firft adions were on
the 14th and the *fth of Septem
ber, and die battle of J o kers took
place t on tbe 3d of October.
Theacqdifitionof Holland mtift
reduce the Britiffi to the most dis
tressing btuatiom
In Ireland, there is a report of
a general commotion. It ii Mn
laid that ehe Btitiffi troops are dis

there is good reafoo to believe his
^erfonal influence at least is to»be ex

will make peace if poflibk ; and, :
