We were yesterday mistaken as to the par
ticulars cf the victory our brave Republicans
had obtained Over the flaVesof Spain. This is
the truth: We have taken Fort St. Eime, and
Port Vendre only, so that the troops had re
tired ui.det the citadel of Collioure, and to
Fortl’Etolle, and Mirandon; the Spanilh
General demanded to capitulate, but he was
not heard. To day however, we granted a
capitulation, as is now afeertained; but one
, important article of the capitulation is, that
the gafrifon are to beprifouers of war, and it
is thought toconfift of about 4000 men. We
are now then truly in pofiedion of Collioutc,
St. Eime, and Port Vendre ; Bellegarde re
mains to be taken. In the mean time, our
troops are matters of the foundary of St.
Laurent de la Muga, which .the enemy at
tempted to retake; but after a warm engage
ment we repulled them, taking near 400 pris
oners. Our camp between Jouquierre and
Figure remains, and I hope the victories of
yetterday and to day, will still encreafe the
outrage of our brethren in arms, who, how
ever, do not want it, their conduit is above
all nraife. ’ « - '
BOST O N, Aug. 21.
Yesterday arrived the ship Aftrea,
Capt. Alkins master, in 52 d’ays from
Liverpool. He brought with him Lon
don papers to the 25th of June, by a
perusal of which it appears that the joy
and triumph in England on their late
naval viliory, was extreme ; blit that no
solid advantage had arisen from it yet;
nor do they anticipate any other benefits
than those of “ checking, (as they term
it) the growing insolence of the neutral
powers, and the Americans among the
rest.” Mr. Jay has had three conferren
ces with Lord Grenville ; but nothing
decisive had taken place as to the term
or result; tho’ the Minister had made
the most pacific aflurances, as he has all
along” done.
By these papers it appears that Ypres
surrendered on the iß€h June as we be
fore have published. This however, we
have not seen officially communicated,
altho the papers fay that the articles of
capitulatioii/have been published ; riot
withftanding which, the ministerial pa
pers affelfto dispute its authenticity, and
fay it is all a mere matter of speculation ;
may be it is, but we are apt to think it
will turn out*a pretty dear speculation
to the English before tis over.
All Weft-Flanders is in fall, left by
the Austrians and English. Indeed all'
their armies are now on the defenfive al
together, except on the Sambre, where
it is said, they have gained a vidory over
the French—Their victories however,
have generally turned out defeats for af
ter all of them, they are in a fituatioh
much worse than they were when the
campaign opened. The Emperor has
certainly left his army.
Ypres was the only important poll in
Weft-Flanders. ■ s,
The greatest consternation prevailed
at Oftend : it is even said by paifengers
from Liverpool, that it was actually be
sieged; this last however, we give only
as report, the truth or falfity of which
must soon be determined.
In this posture of affairs our last ac
counts from Europe, left the contending
powers. Accounts from thence may be
expeded daily ; they must be important.
they are not already, and then they mutt
surrender at diferetibn. Bellegarde still re
mains to be retaken. . Its communication
with Spain is cut off, we therefore ciped it
will soon be in our power.
Defeat of the Poles.

BERLIN, JUNE 9.
A Mefienger arrived here this day from
the Prussian army in Poland. He brings in
telligence that on the 6tb in ft bis P'ufian
Majesty attacked the Polifb Patriots under
Gen. Kojciufko, near Greeioxing. After a
bloody battle of 4 hours, the Polifb General
was for. ed to yield to the Superiority of the
Prussian force, ahd'to retreat. His retreat,
however, was conducted in a mdderly man
ner, and bis Prussian Majefiy did not think
proper to follow bint The number of the
killed and wounded on the part of the Patri
ots was 1000. They loft aljo pieces of
cannon. Our loss is said to be near 1000.
Prince Louis, with the dragoons of Bi
berft on fir ft broke the ranks of the enemy, was
madia Major General on the field of battle.

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 1 6.
Mr. T. Francies came passen
ger in the Adive, and has brought
dispatches from Mr. Jay, which we learn
are of the most agreeable complexion.
We also hear that Mr. Jay, had been
cordially received—-and had been allured
by the British Ministry that full compen
sation would be made for all the proper
ty illegally taken from the citizens of
the United States. That Mr. Pitt had
informed the Britiffi merchants that they
might go on with their shipments and
consignments to the United States with
| the nioft petfed security, for that Great-
Britain had no idea of any rupture With
this country.
The Engliffi papers ftate,-that Oftend,
expeded momently to be attacked, that
there were 40^)00 men in it,Land that
the inhabitants were ordered to leave the
place—and it was expeded the French
would take it—-that in consequence of
the great successes of the French, it had
j been declared in the National Conven
tion, that it was * probable that peace
would take place before the natural
paflage of 52 days. I left it 8 days af
ter the arrival of the Convoy from die
Chesapeake, they arrived at Brest in 58
days, and brought with them 15 rich
prizes, returning from the Weft-Indies.
The Brest fleet entered that port, 2 days
before the Convoy, after chafing a divi
sion of the British fleet that were cruising
between Brest and L’Orient. I fend you
herewith fix pamphlets containing an ac
count of the addon they had with the
Britifli, and which was the means of sav
ing the convoy, and would have been a
decisive victory for us had it not been for
the bad conduct of the Captain of the Ja
cobins and some others; die fad is that
the Englifli have fuffered more than us,
as they were not able to keejj^he sea af
ter the aftion, and oilr fleet >^d not re
turn till they were certain the convoy
was out of danger ; but if the Englilh
have gained some advantage in this ac
tlon, they have paid very dear for it, by
the loss of a great number of their tra
ding veflels with which all our ports are
crowded, insomuch that they had not
room for all that arrived at Brest, and
were obliged to fend a number round to
the river Londernou. In fliort the arms
of the Republic have been viflorious in
every quarter, and all her armies are now
encamped in the enemy’s territories.

our government are pacific towards America.
Wr confeft many on your fide have fufered
confiderablyby our crutfers in the Weft Indies.
But Mr. Pitt has promised reffitution to
the fuff.rers who can prove their lofcs ; this
we trust will reconcile matters'*
