'«» Citizens Semonville and Maret Crafting
t2O much to this report of the Chiefs of the
League, proceeded for Cbavene, where they
arrived on the 24th'of July. An exorbitant
price was alked for the escort which was to be
granted them in the name of rhe Sovereign.
Thev preferred a particular escort of eight
me/only, who attended them on theaph to
the village of Novale, near the Lake of Chi
avene. Having arrived at Ulim, they were
warned by those they had font forward, of the
danger they would run, if they continued their
wuroey. They prepared tberafelves to re
turn to Chiavene, when the Jon they were at
was immediately surrounded by an armed
krree. Forty Milanese Sbires, lopoorted by
their smugglers, took aim at them, seized
them by force, and after having bound them
and their fait with cords, threw them into a
batteau, and conduced them to the Caftlc of
Gravedona, on the borders of the Lake of
Croire.
•* A Courier was immediately difpatohed
to Vienna, to require directions as to their

million ; Citizen CaGftro, an Officer of En

Secretaries of Legation, and fix Domettics.
Citizens Semanville and Mongeroult, their
Wives, and-the Children of the former, were
permitted to return to Chiavene, there to wait
the orders of the Government of Milan. They
left them destitute of every thing; their bag
gage and effe&s were plundered ; they even
took from them parr of their clothing.
«< At the recital of this outrage of which
Europe offers no example, what Frenchmen,
what Republican, will not revolt at the atroc

The 14th regiment however under Major

The Count’s patriotism being well known,
various iniults were offered to him. His pea
sants were dragged from their grounds to
supply the army, and fctrce any at length re
mained but children and old men. The
Count, Unable to endure the wretchednef* to
which he was a witness, conceived the defpe-,
rate delign of putting an end to his exigence.
He accordingly assembled all the old men,
and tock a most tender farewell of them; He
committed to the care of the oldest, a packet,
to be opened in four days. He then wrote
the following note to the King cf Poland :
“Sir,
“ One of your oldejl friends and frtnedf up

ENGLAND.
LONDON, SEPT. 12.
The official Letter from Sufames Murray,
contains the most interefling particulars.—
An attention however to the range of the cor
den of the combined Armies, which extends
above an hundred and fifty miles, will shew,
that the Division under the command of
Field Marshal Frejtag, consisted of but a
bout ten thousand men, attached to the ar
my which is commanded by the Duke of
York. It is this division that has been de.*
seated. The loss is fev ere— 1500 men killed,
wounded and miffing, and rhe conftquer.ee
has been, thar the Duke of York, in order co
remedy the differ, has been obliged to a
bandon his position before Dunkirk, and to
take post about ten miles therefrom, leavidg
thirty odd pieces of battering cannon,j and
considerable stores. This must retard the
operations of the siege, but will not fx nitrate
it.
Ensign Macdonald the 37th,was killed by
a mufket-ball,which penetrated his left breast,
and perforated his heart.
Maj. Gen. Falri, who was killed in the
attack on Arnecke on the 51b, had distin
guished himfelf lately by taking a large body
of rhe French prisoners together with several
pieces of cannon.
Notwithstanding the accoents from Dun
kirk are disastrous, and are likely to be atten
ded with inccnvcniencics.they cannot tarnilh
the-success of the combined forces, in all di
reftiont—At Valenciennes, Conde, and May*
ence, near one thousand pieces of cannon
were taken. The garrifor.s of the places ft*
mounted 4024,000 men—and the stores taken
therein are immenfr. The late loss is, there
fore, comparatively but a trifle.
To foften in some degree the late difafler,
it is certain,that between two and three bun
dled of the French were raken prisoners, and
three pieces cf cannon, by the allies, who at
tacked Rexpkde. under General Walmoden.
It is feme consolation, however, to learn,
that the British, under his Royal Highness,
thcagh they have been obliged to abandon 32
pieces of cannon, and part of the stores provi
ded for the siege, made good their retreat to
Adinkerque, where they are now encamped,
without any loss of men——the loss fell upon
the Germans.
Yeftetday Lord Lauderdale presented a pe
tition to his Majefly, from the city of Glas
gow, signed by upwards of 40,000 person?,
praying his Majesty to put an end jo the pre
lent war.
The Count Largor-Jk^ was one of the few
PoJilh noblemen who have fopported the
cause of the people, against the incroachment
of despotism, and the attacks of tyranny. His
eHates were small, but his peafan'.s were
happy and contented. He had built a house
for the aged and infirm, to retire fromrlabor,
and to Ex their thoughts “on worlds beyond
the grave.” There was also a seminary, at
which the sons of the peasants teamed to read,
to write and cast accounts. There was ano
ther school, where the oldcfl peasants inflrufr
ed the young men in agriculture. Unhappi
ly the Count’s possessions were in that part
of Poland so iniquitcufly seized by thcNorth
ern tyrant.
