4 HAGUE, July I.
As Charleroi is now in the hinds of the
French, and as the baggage of Cibourg
is sent to Bruflch, it is more than proba
able that this city mull be evacuated, un
less the combined arm, can compel the
French to retire. On the 28. h Brussels
was not in the poflellion of the French.
It is reported that an express from Lon
don is arrived, which brings an account of
England having declared war against a
certain power ; but this news wants con.
himation.
The combined army, in order to give
I that battle which they thought receffary,
W for the purpose of relieving Charleroi,
advanced in five columns on the 25th cf
fall month, and on the 26th at break cf
day attacked the French in their entrench
meat in the neigborhood. From the
ffiart account of the Prince of Cebourg of
this affair, which is received and has been
pablifhed here, it appears " that the
laid place, Charleroi, had been obliged
already to surrender to the French, on
Account of their superior force, and tha:
the combined forces had ioft thereby about
fifteen thousand men, but no artillery ;
1 that the French loft ere howitz and onr
jiandard ; ard the retreat cf the combin
ed array wrs madein the be? Order as far
as Morbais, whve they had their night
quarters on the :6th ; and from whence
they were to march the next morning for
Nivel!es in order to cover the country as
rough as poflible, and to fapport Namur.
—-^ned the peace and tranquillity of this
) flouriffiing part of the United Statss. A
civil war is the fevered scourge which an
ari f : r y God employs for the correction of a'
finful and ungrateful pepple. We have
great reason to be thankful that the Great
Ruler of'the Universe has inclined the
Hearts of our fellow citizens towards a re
turn to their duty of obedience to the laws
and a restoration of good order and regular
government among us. This is the true
path which alone can condud ds to a redress
of all grievances.
A gentleman immediately from Fort
V/afhington, informs us, that the federal
troops, under the command -of General
Wayne,and the Kentucky volunteers under
Gen. Scot, marched from Grenville on
h the ~Bth ult. and by the last accounts were
■ feme distance in advance of Fort Recovery.
It was also reported that i§oo Indians
were encamped about 15 miles in front of
our army, waiting their arrival. No doubt
Barrere announced to the Convention
the capture of the Sardinian frigate, of 36
guns, by the French frigate I,a Baucleufe,
of equal force—who carried her prize in
to Port de la Montagne.
It is confirmed that the French Medi
erranean quadron is at sea.

from a prisoner that was taken since the

Extract ofa letter from a gentle

" By a prisoner, (Delaware In
dian) we are told considerable
uneasiness has arisen amongst
some of the tawny tribe in con
sequence of the attack upon
Fort Recovery, as some of the
events attended the attack. The
Delaware, and adjacent Indians,
understanding well the difficul
ties of such a bufmefs, were_ap
pealed to and only gave into!
the measure to fatisfy their ve
ry weftern brethren. At a crit
ical moment of the onset, when
all was fire and smoke, a few
few Choftaws stole out from a
'(ally port of Fort Recovery,
and being mistaken by the ene
my, for friends, got into the
rear, and aded comparitively,
as very powerful aids to death,
in his triumphs that day.
" The enemy found them
selves annoyed in their rear, as
a Chief among them, mortally
wounded, declared with his
dying breath, that he got his
wound from a red man ; and the
weftern Indians fufpef t the De
lawares and others.

this.

From HALIFAX, Aug. 7.
Monday arrived'here from New-York,
the Schooner Dawkins, Captain Morris.
The Dawkins failed from New-York, the
24th ult. Capt. Morris informs that a
French Brig of 16 guns, arrived there the
17th ult. and run up the North River—
That soon after his Majesty's ihip Thetis,
Captain Cochran came up the harbour,
and by a gun from the Fort was brought
to below Governor's Island—That Capt.
Cochran went on fliore in his barge, and
called ou the Governor, who informed him
that it was a port regulation that no armed
veflel belonged to any foreign power should
be permitted to p.ifs the iflind—That
Captain Cochran replied, he had no ob
jeftion to complying with any regulation
of the port but contended that the order
should be generally and not partially exe
cuted ; and instanced their partiality in
permitting the French Brig to pals the lll
and, and to go 0, the North River, in
consequence ofthis remonstrance the brig
was ordered below the island—and the
Thetis getting under way the 21st, Capt.
Cochran took pofleffion of the brig, and
carried her out with him. This armed
brig was part of the convoy from the Dela
ware, captured by Admiral Murray's
fqnadron,and struck her colours to the The
tis— -the Captain had pledged his honour
not to run away—but while the Thetis
was in pursuit of another veflel, they hois
ted all fail—threw their guns overboard,
and made for New-York.
Yesterday failed on a cruise, his raajef
ty 's ship Ifaffar, Commodore George, and
I'Oifeau, Capt, Murray,
guff of wind over set it, and the unfortu
nate perlons above mentioned were all
drowned. Search was immediately trade
for the bodies. The two former were
found the next day, on the Weft Beach,
Beverly fide ; the latter has uo; yet been
found.
Extr^a of a letter from Halifax, dated Sat

'' As the Schooner has been detained, I
take the advantage offered by her deten
tion, to forward you one of the Saturday's
papers just from the prefs.—ln addition to
what 1 laid in my latt, on the improbabil
ity of an American contest, you may be
assured that Admiral Murray, now in this
port, has received positive orders from
home, to treat the Americans who may
fall into his hands, with the greatest lenity
and rcfpc& and to fuffer none to be Cap
tured, but those undoubtedly loaded with
French property, or positively carrying
articles to the ports of the enemy. Thole
orders may probably assist the Americans
now in this port."
