SINCE the 11 th October the greatest
part of the Allied troops which were at
End near Menin removed towards Mau
beuge ; which place and his Camp it is
'aid is dole confined by them, and it is
rxpefled every moment that a severe

which made part of the forces about
Menin, are now at Cyfoin in Weft
Flanders ; nothing has past these some
lays.
The four English regiments of foot
vhich came back from the army are
aid to be returned back to Englaed : but
nhers fay only for Portsmouth, and from
jhea^ce bound for Toulon—-This, gives
great speculation to all our politicans ;
and more so the arrest of several great
iperfonages at Vienna, which seems ab-
Mutely not to be without some confe
juences ; the great friendfhip between
' Russia and Prussia also gives some unea

The Vendee still refills, and the for

Until late nothing very dactfive has
been attempted, and some diyifions in

'The French attacked,with great vigour
the advanced poss of the Imperial Army,
towards Jajyong, Level St. Remy, ChauJ
fetDtwriers Flowfes Wat grip and Aibe,
the Action lajled almost the whole day the
enemy was re pul fed on all directions as far
as the Traves D' Avofney. The Audrian
house did wonders, those whose conduct was
intruded to General Count Bellagarde con
tribued much to the decision of the victo
ry in favour of the imperial Arms, it is
also due to this valour of the in‘antry to
the care gr-od command, and ardour of all
the Generals. Pr ince Hobenloe had a
horse killed under General Count
Clair fait, who was on the right pod also
contributed much to the glory of the day,
and on the evening he pursued the enemy
from whom he took 12 pieces of cannon ;
/everal waggons, and about 400 men ;
the loss in killed and wounded is ccnfidera
ble, the imperial does not reckon upwards
ofzCQ men both killed and wounded ; the
death of Prince d Anhalt Rothan, Lieute
nant’Colonel of the Dragoons ofCobouag is
much regretted.
On the 14th of this month the vanguard
deflined for the relief of Maubeuge, partly
left the Hayes d' Avefne, the imperial
army did on that day, nothing of any
consequence, confining itlelt to occupy a
refpedable position.
On the fame day tbegarrilbn of Mau
bcuge, after leaving the polls of Doufies,
attacked the Dutch with great intrepidity,
but the latter so charged them that they
were obliged to retire with precipitation,
and a loss of about 200 men, wounded;
and prisoners, among whom is a colonel,
the chief of a Brigade.

By break of day the enemy was seen
in very strong Columns, and provided
with a greater proportion of Cavalry than
usual. They marched on all directions,
and had the advantage of our advanced
polls which were broken. The woods
and hills which protested the enemy be
fore and after, prevented our charging
them, and hindered them likewise from
difpoGng to advantage all this numerous
artillery, they came to a very lively can
onade, in which the Artillery of the en
emy had over our’s the advance of the
number; nevertheless, we prevented
them from advancing,and we even forced
them on the right wing and in the center
to retreat j the ground was very unfav
orable for the Cavalry, which was the
cause of its being of so much left Service
than usual. '
We took in the aflion 12 pieces of
cannon ; and took and killed a few hun
dred men ; but the left wing was some
what broken, and could not be rallied,
without great loft.

A letter from a Member of Congress,
dated Philadelphia, Dec 31, contains the
following important intelligence, “ Mr.
Jefferfon is to resign his Office this day ;
Mr. Randolph, the Attorney-General,
is to succeed him—and Mr. John Taylor
a Senator from Virginia, is to be ap
pointed Artorney-General of the United
States.**
Th? above information is confirmed
by a New-York paper of Jan. 4. which
fays, « On the 31st Dec. Mr. Jefferlon
gave in his resignation of the Office of
the. United Sates । andon the’ ift of
January Mr. Edmund Randolph,late At

This morning there was a gre®t
and as soon as it was cleared up we P tr ’
ceived the enemy advancing from the
fame directions, as the day before ; —but
they were reinforced by several lines ot
Irefh troops, and in very large numbers,
and which supported the center, and the
left wing. The fire from he artllery
was most tremendous the whole day on
both sides and it was fecopded by that of
the fnulquetry which was not lets quick,
and our centreasweil aj our right wing
were kept up entire, but the left was
broken. This accident necessitated a re
treative movement, which it did not per
form but slowly, but not without taking
nine pieces of cannon more from the en
emy; but the railing of (be siege of Mau
beuge was a necessary consequence of it,

We cannot express the valour of our
roops,having been 48 houcs under arms,
and without taking the least nouriftiment,
having to contend with very numerous
enemies.
[The result of all thia news, is, thot
(according to the Bruffell’s Gazette) they
had gained the battle, by raising the
siege of Maubeuge, and losing 3000
men; their’army 43 hours under arms,
