L O N D O N, October 3 r„
A m« fsenper arrived la ft night at the iecretary
of ftase’t: office, with difpatches frmrt the Rhine.—
It was no general engagement that induced general
jourdan to retrewt. The accmrnt given in the Pa
lis papers accords with the account brought hy the
melseuger.
In confequence of rhe ratification, by the inter
change of the treaty- of amity, commerce and navi
gation, her ween this country and Anieric.*, leveral
large porchafes were yef’terday made in the funds of
the United Stares.
We frop rhe prefs rr> frate, that accounts have
been received by government, of The French army
having retreated with great precipitation, the day
before the general attack was to have been made
upon it by genert.i Chmfayt.
Clairfayt meant to follow, and give them battle
wherever he could come up with them.
The French have abandoned the lortrefs of Ko
uigltein, and railed the liege of Ment/..
ht dli err an tali Fleet.
It is with concern we inform our renders, that
yelterday the Jultina, Capt. Rock, from the Medi
terranean, arrived at PortCmouth, and brings the
following molt rfifnftrous intelligence :
That he failed from Gibraltar, in company
with ninety fail of merchant (hips and tranfports,
under convoy of the Fortitude, of 74 guns, captain
1 aylor ; Bedford, of 74. guns, capt. Gould ; L’en
le-ur, 74 guns, capt. Gore; Argo, 44 guns, capt.
Burges „• Juno, 32 guns, Lord A.Beauclerk ; Lutine,
32 guns, <..>pt. M.icinmara ,• andTifiphone, F4 guns,
capt. Turner ; that about twenty five leagues off
LapeSt. \ incent*s, they fell in with nint-Hail of the
brench line, and a number of frigates, who imme
diately engaged them : that the Cenfeur, and up
wards of twenty fail of the merchant ships were ta
ken before the jultina was our of fight, and capt.
Rock is very apprehenfive the principal part of the
fleet mult he captured.
i lie wnoic or me convoy is emmated at upwards
of \ hrcc millions.
Paris papers, from the 1 Sth to the 24*h inftsnt,
inclufive, were received this morning, and convey
very important intelligence.
rl lie army of the Sambre and the Meufe, under
der the command of general jonrdan, has been de
feated, and forced to crol's the Lahn, and to retreat
towards the Rhine.
T lie dilpofuions which general Jourdan had made
to refilt the Auftrians were complete in evert part,
except .towards the line of neutrality, which it was
not fuppoled the Auftrians would attempt to vio
late. 1 he Auftrians, however, did violate it, and
turning the left wing of the Sambre and Menfe ar
my, which touched the line^of neutrality, forced
the whole armv to retreat.
I he committee cf public fafety confi.’er this
event only as a retrogade movement, and alstte the
convention,'fhat the troops on the ether fide of \\ e
Rhine (hall preferve Inch ditpefuions as will be »e
rrl’sary to begin t he next campaign with >clvantage.
The conventioT, however,‘have ordered the deputy

of having unnecefsatily clelawd the pafsnne of the
