poftillions blowing their horns,(tar
ing that their troops in Lithuania
had not only taken the commercial
city of Liebeau in Courland, but
the whole of the Dutcy of Cour-
Jand and Semigallia, which have
acknowledged the protection of
Kosciusko. Major General Von
Mirbach has been appointed Ma
jor-General here. It appears from
this, that only a few Ruffian troops
could have reached our frontiers
from Livonia, as the Poles could
not otherwise have undertaken the
expedition against Courland.

FRANKFORT, JULY 20.
The French atßheignheim,Og
gerheim and Kircheim, are threat
ening every where to break through
and make a defeenu r
Prince Hohenloeis at Pforzheim,
near Worms. The greatest part
of the magazines of Frahential
and Lautern are loft.
A most violent cannonade has
been heaid during the whole of
this morning. The Prussians have
loft a great many men all along
their line, without recovering their
generals Schladem, Vofs and.Ru
chell, who are wounded. The
Schladem, Mannftem and Rom
berg, fuffered most. Upwards of
a hundred Prussian officers are ei
ther killed or wounded. Had the
Prussians attemped to maintain
Lautern, they would have risked
a loss of 20,000 men, and of be
ing cut off.

dered all the sluices co be opened
to effect an inundation. This
measure has succeeded but partial

On tbs VANHYof YOUTHFUL HOPES.
IN life’s gay morn, what vivid hues
Adorn the animating views,
'■ By flattering fancy drawn ?
No floras with gloomy afpcft rife.
To cloud the azure of the Ikies—
No mills obscure the dawn.
With looks invariably gay,
Young expectation points the way
To ever blifsful /hades.
Where odours /cent the breath of morn,
Where rotes bloom without a thoic,
And mafic fills the glades. ,
Enraptur’d with the diftant'view.
Youth thinks its fidiom beauties true.
And springs the prizte to gain ;
His gra/p the gay iilufion flies j
Experience thus the cheat descries,
And proves bis hopes werd vain.

placed both here and there, with

polite fide of the Scheldt Their
retreat was cut off from Sluys, so
that they were-obliged to byte this
place, where they arrived at four
o’clock this morning. We dif<
cern very plainly the Carmagnols
working at the batteries, which
they attempt to conftrud: all along
the shore: a Dutch armed.brig has
been all the morning firing at them,
and thejf return the fire ; all this
we lee from our ramparts here.
There is no news whatever from
the British troops; but we are fer
ry to learn, that a detachment of
Prince Cobpurg’s army has been
defeated near Maeftricht, by the
French ; and it is said that a foreign
Prince was killed.
All the accounts that have been
received from the Continent con
cur in stating, that the French are
colle&ing an immense force in the
Netherlands for the ptirpofe, of in
vading Holland. The defence of
that Republic will most probably
be undertaken by the Dutch and
British troops only.
Liege had been abandoned; and
the people it is said,. immediately
after the departure of the Prince
Bishop, lent a deputation to| the
1 French inviting them to take vof
leffion of that city.
The-fucccffes of the Frenci on

Frankfort, Manheim, and Mffiz,

Th^ attack which the Fi hch
lately made upon the Prussia s in
the neighborhood of Kaiferfta tern
The French, tor these two or
three days, have been in the neigh
bourhood of Sluys, without com
ing near enough the town to be
annoyed by the g^nifon; but this
morning, it seems, they- began in
earnest their’ labour, th*: effect of
which was the complete routing
Yesterday we saw very diftlndly
from this ’place across the water,
which is only 4 miles, a very large
body of the French horse and foot
marching for Sluys : this was a
bout a quarter part 9 o’clock. —
About 12 a very heavy cannonade
commenced ; the retuk no man
here is acquainted with; the French
were about 10,coo, according 10
the belt judges. The Mynheers
began to examine their guns upon
the ramparts, and a brig in the
offing fired at the Carmagnols as
they palled along the lands.
Sir S. Smith and Lord Moira
are here. There are 400 pieces
of brass cannon in Slays; but there
are not 1000 men to defend it.
We seem all panic (truck, and
every place given up; for as the
French palled over the plain they
took a fort mounted with 50 pieces
of cannon with only 12 foots fir
ed.

was perhaps the most desperate and
bloody of the whole campaign.
They followed it up from the 9th
of the. month, day after day, till
Sunday the 13th, from which time
till the Wednefdhy following, the
Prussians had not a moment’s re*
spite either night or day.—The
numbers of the iFrench encreafed
to 180,000 at least, and in their
latter attack, they rufoed up to the
Prussian cannon with as much in
difference as if they had not been
loaded, carrying the whale at the
point of the bayonet, killing or
wounding every Artillery Officer
except one ; and almost complete
ly annihilating the Prussian army.
A. report has gained much con
fidence on the Continent, that the
populace of Conftancinople, fur
ruunded the I crag! io, and demand
ed a war with the Ruffians in de
fence of Poland ; that the Grand
Seignior being obliged to comply
with their demand, all the troops
had been fem for out of Alia, and
measures taken far the immediate
commencement of hostilities.
Success in the Pyrenncs.
The army of the Weftern Py
rennes obtained on the 6th, new
successes : and after adefperate re
sistance, they carried by the point
of the bayonet, the fine valley of
Baftari, all that ofLernil, two con
fideraple forts, and Foutarabia, is
nearly destroyed by the bombard
ment.
They passed defiles extremely
narrow, scaled the most alarming
precipices, and took pofleffion of
redoubts placed upon the lofty
mountains, which command the
Bidaffoa. The enemy who had
12,000 men, were repuffed on all
sides, and the fruits of the vidory
are immenfein artillery and various
stores. x
