tacked at several points, by the enemy, who
fucceededin dislodging the regiment of Ter

est point of the Armetta, after they had sus
tained the tnoft furious attacks. The fire
continued from ten in the morning till night,
with considerable loss on both (ides. The
brigade of Gen. Sticker maintained its posi

the 13th, to the heights of Arbigola and
Monte Reggino to attack the enemy with a
concentrated force; The latter endeavored
to be beforehand with him, andon the even
ing of the 14th, Gen. Count St. Julien
was attacked in front by about 4000 men,

" The enemy by withdrawing their whole
force frougghe Northeast frontierof Switzer
l^<d,werqenabled to, unite a force of 100,000
men. The position of Stockach was attack
ed on the 3d with a very superior force, and
carried with some loss on the part of the
Austrians. At the fame time the main bo
dy of the French, commanded by Gen. Mo
reau in person, made a desperate attack up
on the Austrian force under Gen. Kray, at
Engen ; but after an obstinate contest, and
facrificing immense numbers of men, they
were obliged to delift. In the mean time,
the archduke Ferdinand, who had defeated
a body of the enemy that had attempted to
curhim off, effected his junaiod with the
main army. In consequence„ however, of
the loss of Stockach, and the absence of fev-.
eral con fiderable detachments, Gen. Kray
found himfelf under the necessity of with
drawing in a direction towards the Danube.
In'the course of this march he was attacked
again on the sth, in a temporary position at
Moefkirch, by the whole French army,who
were again repulsed, after an obstinate con
flia and experiencing a loss much greater
than that of the Austrians. The French
did not venture to renew the attack in the
night, of on the next morning. On the 6th
the Austrians took up a position behind the
Danube, between Riedlingen and Sigmarin
gen, without any opposition from the ene
my ; and on the Bth had again repafled that
river; and were preparing to advance. The
Archduke Ferdinand is reported to have dis
tinguished himfelf particularly."

COMMUNICATION.
Mr. Printer,
As the editor of the Oracle has publicly an
nounced lus determination to publish only his
own favorite lilt of Candidates for the next Con
gress—A correspondent begs leave, through the
medium of the Ledger to nominate to his fellow
citizens, the following gentlemen as suitable char
acters to represent the date in the national Legis
lature—viz.
JOSEPH BADGER, )
MICHAEL M'CLARY, (,
LEVI BARTbETT,
ami SAMUEL HUNT, )
The two firtt named gentlemen are too well
known by their long and faithful Cervices in the
Hate, to need recommendation.
Levi Bartlett, Esq. is the son of our late
severed, and ever to be lamented Governor Bart
lett—and for integrity talents and solid worth is
worthy of such a father.
I Samuel Hunt, Esq. was bred to the law—
and in early life didinguifhed by his eloquence
and legal abilities at the bar—but having quit the
Iprofeffion, he is now a refpeftable farmer in
Charleftown—-Thefe men having never engaged in
'the whirlpool of Englifli orFrench politics, but be
ing truly and only American, will be able to judge
impartially of the great concerns of'rhe nation,
whidh will probably come under the considera
tion of the seventh Congrefy—and the interests of
the date cannot be more fafely deposited than in
such hands. As the editor of the Oracle has en
deavored to cram down the threats of the people,
a particular lilt of candidates, and refuted to give
the public information of any other. The seve
ral printers in this date are requeited to give pub
licity to the above nomination, that it may be
generally known who the candidates are—and
the People thereby have the opportunity of fe
letting the moll suitable.
GOOD NEWS— if true.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser.
Qn a minute re-examination of our files of Lon
don papers, we find the following article refpedt
ing our Commiflioners, under date of
"Deal, May 20.
"The Superb, Capt. Trail, arrived in the Downs
from Charleftown, and landed her patlengers at
the King's Hotel. She was boarded in the chan
nel by a French privateer brig mounting 22 guns,
and I^o men/ and after looking at her papers, or
dered her to proceed. The French Commander
laid that the American Commissioners had fettled
the differences between the two Governments, and
'that they would not capture any American vessels
;excepi they had British property on board. The
'Superb had a cargo worth 25,0001.
It hasl been intimated, that a French privateer
of 2'o gyns is hovering on our coast. In conse
quence of this fuggettion, we understand, that the
(hip Canton, has been detained at New-Castle, for
the pnrpofe of taking on board additional guns
and men. . (Philad. True American.)

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
Serious disturbances flill continue in various
parts of England, on account of the dearness of
provisions. At Bermingham, in particular, the
riots were so great that the Warwickshire Volun
'reer cavalry were called in, and obliged to fire
upon the mob. All the small manufacturing
towns round Bermingham and Wolverhamton
have been in a Rate of commotion, on account of
the dearth of provisions, and the diftufbances have
been very fetfiotls; several lives being 1011, and ma
ny persons committed for trial. At Yarmouth
Sunderland, and other places in the north, limilar
disturbances, have occurred ; andin all cases
the volunteer corps have been called into quiet
the people.
It is Bated in the English papers that an attempt
has been made on the life of the king of Great
Britain. This attempt did not succeed, and by
the last accounts, his majesty was in gpod health,
as uftial, hunting the flag, perfecting the Jaco
bines, and purfning his other princely avocations.
The French army of Egypt it is said, has'arriyed
off Toulon: where it was performing quarantine.

Suchet has taken the important position of St.
