OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS,
The thoff prominent articles by the lift
arrivals art ihofe which relate to the various
hostile armies. The Duke of Fori has
abandoned his situation near Bois-le-Duc,
and retreated over the river Maefe, towards
AmHeidam. The Austrian armies are re>
crofling the Rhine, and it is laid,, mean to
attack the French at Treves,to,affeft a junc
tion with' the English and Dutch drmfpt.
The French, on the other Ade of the Re*
public,have not taken Biiboa, notWithftand

article of their having .captured Bellegarde
is, at leaK, a Hory feme months old. Bel
legarde is not in Spain* but is in the French
Department of the Pyrennes. The affairs
