'ARMY OF THE RHINE.
Extract of a letter from the Adjutant of the Army
of the Rhine. Head-Quarters 13d June.
The fkiftul and bold movements of the general
Z >n chief have determined Gen. Kray t^ abandon
Ulm to a small garrrfon. Gen. Moreau has left
the division Ricbepanfe before that place. Yes
terday we again drove away tire enemy, who is
retreating after vigorously defending himfelf in a
narrow pass. This circumflance did not, how
ever, prevent his being cut off, and rendering his
fitnation worse than ever.
In coiTequence, he has sent ns this morning<
parley, to announce that the firtt consul had con
eluded an grmiflice in Italy, and,that it must be
general ; but as the general in chief has not been
officially informed of it, that will not flop him.
Be will continue to beat the enemy ; it is the
surest way to have peace.

JUNE 2,.'
' The German gazettes of the sth Meffidor, con
tain all the details of the affair which took pace
Dear Donauworth. The papers of Stutaa^ of
the 3d Meffidor report, that on the 30th Prairie
a large body of armed French, efiimated at 20 or
30 000 men paged the Danube at three points,
between Uho and Donauworth. The troops at
Wirtemborgh have been the principal Cofferers by
this attack, and, as well as the Austrian troops
have been forced to retire after a considerable
loss. By this defeat the Imperial Army finds jtfeV
ftparated in two parts, and the corps of General
Kray is separated from that of Stz^rray. The
ffirft of those no sooner heard of the check which
the corps of Stzarrav bad received, than he left
Ulm, and transported his head-quarters to Ell
wangen. He has quitted the neighborhood of
Dim,with a corps of reserve which he commanded
in person, hut has left a hrong force in the garri
son ; he has given orders to his corps to dir^ft its
march thro' Ulm, Ellwangen, and Dinkelfpiel on
the Nurem! urgh. The French, after having re
puffed the Imperialists, the Wirtemburghers, and
the Bavarians, extended themselves in the ni bt of
the 30th towards Heidenheim and Aaleh. The,
occupy Donauworth, Dillengen, Lauingen, Gon
delingen, Steinheim, Giengen, Wittiflingen, and
Obermergen.
Mr. Wickham has been again at Vienna. We
believe that he wifliedto prevent the evils which
had befallen the army of Kray from being imput
ed to the minister Thugtit, and that he would flip
port the min fter with all his credjt. In the mean
time he presses the tailing of the recruits, aid the
march of all the difpofible troops. He has j ft
concluded a fubhdiary treaty with the prince of
Lowenhein, by which tint prince is to furnifh a
corps of infantry and a other of chafleurs to be
inrhe pay of England.,
~ Lieut. Gen. St, Suzanne continues here ; but it
is fa : d he is shortly to depart at the head of 25 or
30,006 men, uitb which he will pass the Rhine at
Matence, will disperse the Mayence troops in the

nurgh, aud will leave a corps before Philipfburgh.'
This rests not on mere report. The gazettes do
nordoubt it,.find add that the garfifon of Lux

and 'the divifop of Carteanx are marching to

MY FRIENDS,
How painful Drift it be to my feelings to enter
tain vou with a detail of nbw victories obtained
over our own unhappy milled brethren of the
Southern department. How mgch more agreea
ble would it have been to me to declare to you
the abjuration of their errors, and that they'bad
arranged themselves under the banners of the re
public; but no, notwithstanding my proclama
tions, my addresses, and the most advantageous
offers on my part, 1 have, as yet, been unable to
prevail upon them to embrace a measure as fain
tary to themselves as profitable to the country they
inhabit ; they persist as yet in their revolt, and
Rigaud maintains them in it with all his power#
You will fee by the account of Gen. 'Deffalines
chief in command of the republican army, that his
army had obtained the mofl complete victory over
them.
I have done every thing in my power ^0 defend
this unhappy country from the evils which await
it. At each step of the army we halt, and invite
the rebels to return to their duty. We intrea
them to abandon their criminality, and shew that
it is not as yet too late to avoid the shedding of
blood—but they ard deaf to the voice of their
brethren ; the amb tibn of one retrains them.
Oue more attempt remains for me toeffay, and
it is with heart-relt pleasure I embrace it—to fenc
a deputation of wife men, into the South to the
magiltrates of the people; to speak to them the
words of peace, to promise an oblivion of rhe past
and renew my proclamation of the 6ft Infl. which
grants impartially, an amnesty to every citizen >
But if too unhappily blinded, to be fenfibie of tin,
brotherly step, they flill persist in their error, wib
they not become the victims of their own itub
uornnefs, and accountable to themselves alone for
the vengeance of both God and men ?

GENERAL,
I learnt from the refugees who had deferred to
us Lift night, that Rigaud had advanced with a
number of troops hub the plain du Fond det Ne
gres; and that their infantrywas encamped upon
a neighboring plantation to that in which I had
fixed the head-qu otters of the army, with 2 pieces
of brass cannoti ^ibs.calibre ; and that the caval
ry was upon another, a little farther off with Ri
gaud, who came yeflerday to where his infantry
was, and administered anoath to every one to die
upon their artrenchmenre, rather than make one
retrograde flep,^ abandon the, 2 pieces of can
non.
The fever having permitted me to rife thismern
iny, I ordered the chief of brigade Damage, to
take the command of my column, -Teaming only at
head quarters the firtt Battalions of the 4 h & 7th
deoii-brigades, and to march with the remainder
of the troops to dislodge the enemy; who were
t>o near us; and enjoined him particularly not
to return ,o.me without the two pieces ofcannon,
which R gaud's troops had sworn not to abandon,
the combat was blbody. The rebels defended
,rof two entire hours the two pieces of cannon, but
the loth demi brigade carried one, and while the
evenly ^as defending the other valiantly, the 4th
erm brigade with its accuftoined bravery, carried
off the other and put the w hole arms to flight.—
A number of the rebels fell upon the field ; the
rest found fafety by flight into the neighboring
woods. Tiie two pieces of cannon have just ar
rived ar head-quarters : they are in fine order to
f=rve agaiuf lßigaud on some other occasion, who,
with bls cavalry, not wifoing to fhaud the shock
of our braye troops, took refuge in Acquin.
) Wehave but a few wounded, and those slightly.
We have made a number of prisoners, taken a
Quantity of bifeuit, 800 flints, 54 31b. cannon cart
ridges, meant without doubt, tor the piece we
took at be. Michaels.
The third demi-brigade of the fduth which
had arrived from the Cutes de Fer, was coming
np to reinforce Rigaud, but arrived top late.—
The third battalion of our fourth demi-brigade
charged twin within pittol (hot, and put them to
flight. Our Cavalry purified them and took one
of their Standards, which I fend you. If nd the
two pieces of cannon to Petit Gnaye: my soldiers
are too much weakened by hunger to take them
with us.
J fend you also seven prisoners we took in the
action ofto day.
You will find under the encloftd a proclama

The following are all the particulars of conse
quence we have been able to collect rejpeciing

From New-York, aug. 18.
A gentleman pass nger in the Amazon, iida ms
us, that he had received letters from Bourdeaux
dated July i, which Bated that the Negotiation
between France and the United States was sus
pended, the French refuting any in enmity for de
predafions, except the Treaty of 1778 Was renew
ed, or one similar to it made#
We received a site of Paris papers to July 1,
and have translated the mod interefling articles.
They are fileiit with refpeft to our Coinmiffion
ers.
The Columbus, from Rochelle, in 60 days, with
Dispatches from our Envoys is said to be in the
Sound;
From N. w-London, Aug. 20.
On Saturday arrived in this city two gentlemen from Mar
tha's Vineyard, who came passengers from Rochelle, France, in
the Columbus. Capt. Joseph Skiener, from this port. We loth
from these gentlemen that the (hip failed from Rochelle the
, 17th June, and brought dispatches from our Envoys ; nothing
particular refpcfyng the mission had. been made public, but it
was understood that; the negotiations were likely to have a fa
vorable-iffue. Our informant law Mr. Ellsworth, on the 6th of
June,,he was in good fpiiits; Mr. -Murray did not enjoy his
health. The cotamiffioners, it was expelled, would depart for
America, about the tirft of August.
'From Boston, Aug. 25.
Extrufiofa UtUfrfreta Mr. Fenwick, to A g&itlettan in this toioh,
dated Bourdeaux .June ah.
“ We doubt not in the least but that the present negocia-.
tiou on foot at Paris between the American commissaries and
this governments, will have, happy if/ue, and that a cordial in
tercourse between the two countries will shortly take place."
A correspondent assures us, a letter 'has been received by a
a gentleman of character in this town, from a friend in New-
York, acquainting him that it was the opinion of well informed
persons in Paris, “ there was last a gloom, propped of a Jpeedy ac
commodation between the two Republics." This intelligence is of'
the latest date from the continent of Europe. The gentleman's
correspondent has gone so far as to assign a reason for this unfor
tunate appearance, which the the negotiation of our coih
miffioners in France l\as lately affirmed :—As it seems the French
commiffiorfers on their patt, have infilled upon being placed pre
cifelv on the fame footing they were upon before the British
"4* was ma de- f a preliminary step to any indemnifications
for losses the American merchants have fuffered in the present
war, by the cruising Ibips of the French Republic. We rather
believe that this ftatemerit is perfectly correct ; but still there is
reason to hope, that a n.ore favorable disposition may appear ;
and that the conference has not been wholly fufpeuded, as the
gentleman's correspondent appreherfda.-^The persons at Paris,'
who gave this intelligence to their friends in ' Bou rdeaux, ate
Americans of the firft information. This cfrcumftance, therefore,
entitles it to attention, if not ta absolute credit. [Chronicles
