ih: city with 35,000 troops in order to at
tack the Insurgents in their encampment--
he was to bejoined by an army of 100,000
men from Parts, with a file firid of Artil
lery—md it was generally believed at
Nantz, that the two armies would utterly
dedroy that of the Rebels.—The people in
&he city had been much alarmed for their
,'r.e during the fiegc, but had recovered
their Ipiihs at the defeat of the Royaiitts,
and were under no apprehension of a sec
ond attack. It wss imppffible to ascertain
the numbers killed — upwards of one hun
dred tboufaud men 9 ere righting nearly ten
hours, and the firing was iuce ffant—it was
fuppefed there were near twenty rhoufand
killed and wounded cn boh sides. The
General wou.d not give a Ratement of the
killed and wounded of the Patriots — he
latter mult have been considerable, as the
trumpeters went through the city requeu
ing the use of the fp'arc beds of the inhab
itants tor the wounded soldiers, which was
immediately complied wi;h. The infar
gents were poorly armed, many of them
having nothing but long wooden spears —
but they have been infatuated to inch a
degree by the obstinate Briefs, their lead
ers, that they evinced great valor, march
ing up to the mouths of the Patriot's field
pieces. Many of the prisoners who were
brought in, declared their wifo to have di
ed in battle on that day, Sz. Peter's as the
Pririb told them that faint would deliver
up to the slain the keys of heaven, and
permit them to march therein.

Yesterday arrived the ship Good Intent,
from Briftcl, a Letter-of-Masque, 14
guns, taken a prize on the 3d Augult, by
the sloop cf War Marfilles, 22 guns.—
Til Engofli ihip made a vigorous refin

board, when ihe surrendered having the
Captain and eight men killed, and twenty
wounded. On the fame day of the taking
of the Good Intent, the Marseilles captured
five other vessels off the Weftern Illes ;
among which is a Spanish Ihip of immense
value.
On Thursday night, Gen. Galbaud,
who was a prisoner on board the Jupiter,
by the afliftance of the crew, who have al
ways been in his intered, was put on
tfore in this city, with his wife and chil
dren, and immediacy teck carriages
and proceeded to the Leftward. We
have hnce learnt that on application of the
Governor, he has issued proccfs to appre
hend the General, and that he has been
difcove/cd in the county of West-Chester,
accompanied by fcveral Frenchmen : that
he refutes to be taken, and declares that
he will defend himfelf: We do not vouch
for the accuracy cf this last circumstance,
but are inclined to give it credit.

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL COM.
Complaint having been made to the
government of the United States of some
instances of unjustifiable vexation and
fpoilation committed on our merchant
vessels by the privateers of the powers at
war, and it being paffib'e that other in
stances may have happened, of which no
information has been given to the govern
ment : I have i: in charge from the Presi
dent to allure the merchants of the United
States, concerned in foreign commerce or
navigation, that due attention will be paid
to any injuries they may fuffer on the high
seas, or in foreign countries, contrary to
the law of nations or to exiting treaties ;
and that on forwarding hither well au
thenticated evidence of the fame, proper
proceedings will be adopted for their re
lief: The just and friendly difpnfitions cf
several belligerent powers, afford well
founded expectation that they will not
heritage to take effectual measures for re
straining their armed vessels from commit
ting aggrefiions and vexations on our ci
tizens or their property.
There being no particular portion or
description of the mercantile body pointed
out by the laws for receiving communica
tions of this nature, I take the liberty of
addressing it to the merchants of Bylov,
for the Rate of Mtfachxfctts, and of rc
quefting that through them it may be made
Known to all thole cf their date whom it
may concern. Information will be freely
received, either from the individuals ag
grieved, or from any affodiations of mer
chants, who will be pleased to take the
trouble cf giving it, in a cite so intercll
ing t) themfelvcs and their country.
I have the honor to be, with great
refpefl, Gentlemen, you mod obedient
servant.

'' A fever, contagious and deadly, ra
