ered Jc,ukdan its keys. Mafrubt was
inverted at every point ; 15 v& ffels, wi:h
forage, flour, &c. worth a million of li
vres, were captured at its investment.
On the zzd Sept, was announced to the
Convention, the capture of Creveceur
and Keiferlauteren. The last mentionedl
place is 42 miles S. of Mentz and 32 S.
W of Worms. It had been retaken froml
the French a few days before by a junc-I
tion bf all the enemy's forces, with great
iofs on their fide. It was said, that of fev
ai Qcle regiments, there remained only
100 ran Crevececur commands the slui
ces of Bois-le-Duc on the right of the
Meuft. The advantages by its capture,
are 500 men, 39 pieces of cannon, 1000
xnufkets, 30 ooj lb. of powder, and ter
ror to Bois le-Duc.
On the fame day was announced to the
Convention, the capture of 30 vrffels of
the enemy,^nd the linking of 9.
On the 24th September the French
were attacked in the neighborhood of St.
Sebafian, by 6000 Spaniards, who were
repulsed by only 600 Republicans, with
the loss of 32 prifohers, 'and 150 deserters
from the Wall on (or King's) Guards.
On the 18th Sept, the army in Italy
gained great advantages ov.tr a jandion
or troops defined to ad against Savoy —
The enemy were driven from their en
trenchments with the loss of 1000 men
killed and wounded. Provifibns were ta
ken Efficient for one month's supply of
the arm,. In this engagement, too Re
publicans were wounded in the bread by
the bayonet.
On the 19th Sept, the Spaniards at
tacked the French near Bellegarde (a strong
place in Roufilon, on the frontiers of Cat
alonia: It is confiJered as an impor
tant place, and fortified on account of be
jag a passage to the Pyiennes) but were
repulsed, leaving on the field 6co men
and 4 pieces of cannon.
Under the Brffls head, z6.h Sept, it
was mentioned, that Jourdan pursued
his triumphant m^rch, while the Auftriins
retire with incredible precipitation. He
is already at Jubers, and has efff&cd the
passage of the Roove. The Austrians are
withdrawing their ftcres from Cologne.
It appears that from the engagement of
the i6.h September, the Combined Pow
ers on the Rhine, arc completely routed.
Or. the 14th September, Pichecru at
tacked the Duke of York, who,fell
back with the loss of 2000 prisoners, and
8 pieces of cannon. On the fame day
two battalions of Hessians laid down their
arms to 30 Republicans. On the day as
ter, the Duke of York attempted the
retaking of Boxtell, with 5000 men—but
was obliged to retreat by 500 Republi
cans. [Note. Although this circumfance
appears very improvable, if the reader will
recur to the Duke's, own letter, be will
find it partly confirmed. Lt. Gen. ABFR

an killed and wounded intEofe engage
ments to be only 15. T^re were cap
tured at St. S&fian's, as appears by of
ficial letters, 4^2 pieces of cannon, and
28,000 of mullets.„ A fleet had failed
from Bourdcaux, with stores, &c. for this
place. The.exactions upon the 18 con
quered cities, amount to sixty millions of
livres. Fourteen millions, five hundred
thousand had hen colleded and sent to
Paris, in addition to what had been flop
ped for the supply of the armies. The E
jeaoral throne of Treves has been sent to
Paris. The guillotine has been out ofufe

Thomas Paine, author of the rights of

of the Rights of Women, who were both
imprisoned during Roberfpierre's influ

prevalent in France.
It is confidently averted in the Europe
an papers, that Mr. Munroe is charged
with letter: from the President of the Uni
ted States, to the King of Prussia, on the
fubjeft of the liberation of Majar General
Fayette. We hope it is fad ; —it is at
least probable, that the above Minitier is
charged with the money granted to the
Marquis, by Congress at the last session.
It is said, the Duke of York is to be su
perseded in his command by the Marquis
Cornwallis. Probably the French have
been so fuccefsful, in teaching his Royal
Highness " the manual exercise of heels,"
that he has nothing further to learn. And,
as the Marquis has already been pretty
well intruded in the art of capitulation,
perhaps the French will not be lolers by the
exchange.
