LATE European Intelligence.
On Monday arrived at Boston, ship Alfred, Capt. MACEY, from London. Papers to the middle of June, are received, by this arrival. Extracts therefrom follow.
LONDON, June 7. FROM Warsaw, May 21. It is mentioned that the Polish General Kosciuscov had made a movement from Cracow to Staffow, about 15 miles, with intent to drive the Russians towards South Prussia. General Grofchiowhi had been detached by him towards Lublin with 12,000, men to annoy the enemy in that quarter. All the accounts agree that the Poles at Skole, were surprised by the Prussians under General Favrart, on the 19th. The former were very indifferently armed, and fled at the first or second discharge of artillery, leaving on the field a General and a number of prisoners. The Prussian cavalry could not pursue them far, on account of the unfavourableness of the ground. Some accounts call this body General Kosciuscov's advanced guard. The King of Prussia, it is said, intends to join the corps of the army under General Favrart. Orders have been received from General Kosciuscov to arm the first line of citizens with fire arms, the second with scythes, and the third with pikes.
It is to be hoped, that the Turks, in concert with Sweden and Denmark, may see, ere it be too late for their own safety, the necessity of acting in concert, to preserve Poland, and re-establish the balance of Europe.
GRAND Naval Combat—OFFICIAL.
ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, [London] June 10. Sir ROGER CURTIS, first Captain to Admiral Earl HOWE, arrived this evening, with the following dispatch:
Queen Charlotte at Sea, June 2, 1794. } Ulbant, E. half N. 140 leagues. }
SIR, THINKING it may not be necessary to make a more particular report of my proceedings with the fleet for the present information of the Lords commissioners of the admiralty, I confine my communications chiefly, in this dispatch, to the occurrences when in presence of the enemy yesterday.
Finding on my return off Brest, on the 19th past, that the French fleet, had, a few days before put to sea; and receiving on the same evening, advices from Rear-Admiral MONTAGUE, I deemed it requisite to endeavour to form a junction with the Rear-Admiral as soon as possible, and proceeded immediately for the station on which he meant to wait for the return of the Venus.
But having gained very credible intelligence, of the 21st of the same month, whereby I had reason to suppose the French fleet was then but a few leagues farther to the westward, the course before steered was altered accordingly.
On the morning of the 28th, the enemy were discovered far to windward, and partial actions were engaged with them that evening, and the next day.
The weather guage having been obtained, in the progress of the last mentioned day, and the fleet being in a situation for bringing the enemy to close action, the first instant, the ships bore up together for that purpose, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning.
The French, their force consisting of twenty-six ships of the line, opposed to his Majesty's fleet of twenty-five (the Audacious having parted company with the sternmost ship of the enemy's line, captured in the night of the 28th) waited for the action, and sustained the attack with their customary resolution.
In less than an hour after the close action commenced in the centre, the French Admiral, engaged by the Queen-Charlotte, crowded off, and was followed by most of the ships of his Van in condition to carry sail after him, leaving with us about ten or twelve of his crippled or totally dismasted ships, exclusive of one sunk in the engagement.—The Queen-Charlotte,
lotte, had then lost her fore topmast, and the main topmast fell over the side very soon after.
The greater number of the other ships of the British fleet, were, at this time so much disabled or widely separated, and under such circumstances with respect to those ships of the enemy in a state for action, and with which the firing was still continued, that two or three, even of their dismasted ships attempting to get under a spritsail, singly, or smaller sail raised on the stump of the fore mast could not be detained.
Seven remained in our possession, one of which however, sunk before the adequate assistance could be given to her crew; but many were saved.
The Brunswick having lost her mizen-mast in the action, and drifted to leeward of the French retreating ships, was obliged to put away large to the northward from them. Not seeing her chased by the enemy, in that predicament, I flatter myself she may arrive in safety at Plymouth. All the other 24 ships of his Majesty's fleet re-assembled later in the day; and I am preparing to return with them, as soon as the captured ships of the enemy are secured, for Spithead.
The material injury to his Majesty's ships, I understand, is confined principally to their masts and yards, which I conclude will be speedily replaced.
I have not been yet able to collect regular accounts of the killed and wounded, in the different ships. Capt. MONTAGUE, is the only officer of his rank who fell in the action. The number of both descriptions I hope will prove small, the nature of the service considered; but I have the concern of being obliged to add on this subject, that Admiral GRAVES, had received a wound in the arm, and that Rear-Admirals BOWYER and PASLEY, and Capt. HUTT, of the Queen, have each had a leg taken off; they are, however, (I have the satisfaction to hear) in a favourable state under those misfortunes. In the captured ships the numbers of killed and wounded, appear to be very considerable.
Though I shall have on the subject of these different actions with the enemy, distinguished examples hereafter to report, I presume the determined bravery of the several ranks of officers and the ships company, employed under my authority, will have been already sufficiently denoted by the effect of their spirited exertions; and, I trust, I shall be excused for postponing the more detailed narrative of the other transactions of the fleet thereon, for being communicated at a future opportunity; more especially as my first Captain Sir ROGER CURTIS, who is charged with this dispatch, will be able to give the farther information the Lords commissioners of the Admiralty may at this time require. It is incumbent on me, nevertheless, now to add, that I am greatly indebted to him for his counsels as well as conduct in every branch of my official duties: And I have similar assistance, in the late occurrences, to acknowledge of my second Captain, Sir ANDREW DOUGLAS. I am with great consideration, Sir, your most obedient servant, HOWE.
P. S. The names and force of the captured French ships with the fleet is transmitted herewith.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, JUNE 9. Capt. LAFOREY's letter to Mr. STEPHENS, dated Plymouth Sound, June 7.
The 29th May, in lat 46, 38. long. 9, 40, his Majesty's ship Carysfort, of 28 guns, fell in with, and after an action of an hour and a quarter, captured a French frigate (late the Castor, convoy to the Newfoundland fleet) commanded by M. L'HUILLIER, mounting 32 guns, and 200 men. [Capt. L. then compliments the good conduct of his officers and men—and returns the loss of the Carysfort, 1 killed, 6 wounded—Le Castor, 16 killed, 9 wounded.]
LIVORNO, May 28th, 1794.
Yesterday arrived the English Corvette the Lightning, from St. Florenzo, the Capt. informs, that the English frigate L'Amiable, of 32 guns and 210 men, a few miles off Calvi, fell in with L'Moselle of 24 guns and 240 men, which endeavoured to escape, but L'Amiable came up with her about 9 miles distant the isle and Hierres, [off Toulon] where after a short combat, she was taken and carried into St. Florenzo. On board L'Moselle were 30 inhabitants of Calvi, who, on suspicion of being Royalists were destined to Toulon, to receive punishment.
Events of War between the Combined Powers and France.
Defeat of the Spaniards.
PARIS, June 6.
Letter from the Representatives near the Eastern Pyrenean army, dated Collioure, le 9 Prairial.
"CITIZENS COLLEAGUES, "We have to announce to you a great victory obtained over the Spaniards. Nothing but the infant love of country could
have enabled our brothers in arms to have overcome the almost insuperable obstacles which opposed their success, and which shielded their enemies. St. Elmo, situated on an almost inaccessible mountain, has fallen—and its garrison though thus situated have capitulated.
"We have this instant been to see, according to the terms of capitulation, seven thousand slaves deposit their arms at the feet of Republicans, and take the oath not to serve against the French Republic, during the war.
"The force of the Spanish guards at Collioure, and its environs, are, six battalions of Spanish, and one regiment of little Walloon Guards—in all eleven regiments not complete, besides artillery and cavalry.
"Return of prisoners. Three Marshals de camp, 10 Brigadiers, 15 colonels, 60 Lieutenant-Colonels, 300 Captains and Lieutenants, 300 Serjeants, 6,68 privates, and several companies of artillery and cavalry.
"Six thousand four hundred and sixty eight muskets, twenty standards, 100 chests of tambour, all the horses and mules, the arms and equipments of the cavalry, and artillery.
"We have sent two officers who are charged to present to the Convention the splendid trophies of this victory of republicans. Vive la Republique.
Signed, SOUBRANY and MILHAUD.
Capture of Corsica.*
Extract from a letter from Admiral Lord HOOD, to Mr. DUNDAS. Victory, off Bastia, May 24.
"SIR, "I HAVE the honor to acquaint you, that the town and citadel of Bastia, with the several posts on the heights, surrendered to the arms of his Majesty, on the 22d. The capitulation was agreed to by two Adjutant-Generals, the President of the department, and the Major of Bastia, on the part of the French, and by Vice-Admiral GOODSALL, Capt. YOUNG and Capt. INGLEFIELD. [Here follow eulogiums on the officers and men, and the articles of capitulation; in the latter, good terms are given "in consideration of the very gallant defence the garrison had made". The troops in garrison were 3000 in number, who are to be sent to Toulon.]
* The island of Corsica forms the 83d department of France, and is represented in the National Convention. It is in the Mediterranean, is about 88 miles in length, and 40 in breadth.
LIVORNO, MAY 28th, 1794.
The 23th instant, arrived here, the English sloop of war, the Sincere, of 12 guns and 120 men; by her we have received news, that the city and Fort of Bastia, have capitulated on the 22d. The English took possession of it in the name of his Britannic Majesty.
The garrison, which consisted of 2400 men marched out with the honours of war, and had to ground their arms, and were shipped off to Toulon in exchange of an equal number of the British and allied troops, who were prisoners in Provence.
We are also informed, that before the siege, the garrison consisted of more than 5000 men; and that during the Convention, by favour of the night great part got away into the mountains. After the taking of this city and citadel, the English General published his proclamation, that on the 8th of June, the Representatives of the States of the Corsicans, shall appear to conclude what constitution they would chuse to have, whether the English, or the ancient Corsicans with the assurance that every member thereof may depart free and unmolested after the Constitution is framed.
Battles in the Netherlands.
Head Quarters, at Tournay, May 31.
Early yesterday morning the enemy attacked the position of Bettignies and Dougies with a considerable force, and with the greatest vigour. Our first ad-

vanced posts, attacked by more than two thousand men, were obliged to fall back; they were immediately supported, but the light troops of the enemy having been attacked by 12,000 infantry, and about 1,200 cavalry, our pikets, after an obstinate action of two hours, were obliged to fall back to our position. Succours were immediately brought up; our troops broke through them with fixed bayonets, and the enemy, after a long and spirited resistance, were obliged to abandon the village of Dougies, and its entrenchments. Our brave troops returned to their first position, and the enemy into Maubeuge. Four hundred remained dead upon the field, and a great number were wounded. Our loss amounts to 140 men. The troops who had to contend with such a superiority, fought with a bravery which surpasses praise.
On the 23d of this month, M. MARSHAL MOLLENDORF attacked and completely defeated the enemy near Kaiserlautern. That Gen. at the head of his brave Prussian troops, killed not less than 1,000 men, took 1,800 prisoners, 18 pieces of cannon, a great number of tumbrils, and more than 60 waggons loaded with baggage.
Twelve battalions and twenty-two squadrons of Imperial troops, under the orders of the Gen. of infantry, Prince HOHENLOE, passed the Rhine the 22d of this month; and after some brisk actions, took up a most advantageous position upon the left bank of that river, from which the enemy were driven.
BRUSSELS, June 6.
"The battle of Tuesday last has not been attended with all the success expected from it. Having been an eye witness of the principal attack, I can speak with certainty to the most important facts.
"On Tuesday morning, at two o'clock, the Emperor, attended by the Arch Duke CHARLES, Gen. MACK, Col. STIEBEHUTZ, and an English Lord, (probably Lord YARMOUTH,) arrived at Gemappe, and immediately rode to the left wing of our army, which extended along the Sambre, from Namur to above Charleroi. The centre was nearly between Gosselies and Frasnes. The main body of the French was at Gosselies, and in the villages of Toumion and Vieux Ville, a league distant from Gosselies. At three o'clock the Emperor attacked them in these three points, and the Austrians were twice repulsed. The fire of grape shot and musketry then became dreadful, and continued so till half an hour past nine, when the three posts were carried by the bayonet, and a charge of the cavalry. The French quitted Gosselies, crying out, "We are sold—save himself who can in the wood of Lambu!" and retreated in confusion to the wood, and towards Marbe, while those who occupied the two villages repassed the Sambre. The latter were vigorously cannonaded by Gen. BEAULIEU, who was posted between the Sambre and the Meuse to cut off the retreat of the fugitives; but as they were reinforced by a considerable body of French, from the other side of the Sambre, which had been concealed in a wood to watch BEAULIEU's motions, he was too weak to execute this part of the plan.
"While this was passing in the centre, our right wing, reinforced by the Dutch, attacked the enemy's left; and the garrison of Charleroi, which had been closely besieged, sally forth at the same time. The French were repulsed, some of them passed the Sambre, and some retreated to the wood of Fleurus above Charleroi.
"Charleroi was thus entirely disengaged. At eleven o'clock, the Emperor, after taking some refreshment at Gosselies, went thither, and found the place still on fire. The French bombs have damaged all the upper town, and twenty-three of the inhabitants perished in the ruins of their houses.
"Our loss is not yet ascertained. I crossed the field of battle on Tuesday afternoon, and think there could not be less than five or six thousand French and Austrians lying dead upon it; perhaps four of the former for one of the latter. Our right wing continued fighting with the enemy for the greater part of the night, and we do not yet know the issue.
"The Prince of Saxe Cobourg offered to resign, but the Emperor requested him to continue in command. M. DE MACK asked leave or resign, and obtained it, on pretext that ill health will not allow him to remain with the army. He goes to Vienna with the Emperor.
"The Generals suspended from command are COUNT KAUNITZ, COUNT KINZKY, the PRINCE DE REUSS, and BARON DE SCHRODER. KAUNITZ and KINZKY are accused of unpardonable
mistakes in the disposition of the troops intended to cover Brussels, which nothing but the ignorance of the French prevented from once more falling into their hands. They also suffered the French to cross the Sambre a second time unmolested, under an idea that they could drive them back when they pleased, or perhaps cut off their retreat; but before they were aware, the French had passed over 60,000 men, and have now such fast possession of the woods, that although we repulse, we cannot dislodge them. Against REUSS and SCHRODER, there are charges of a more heinous nature. They are both under arrest and to be sent to Vienna.
"The day before yesterday, the states of Brabant delivered to the Emperor a resolution, by which they engage to raise 25,000 men immediately, the states to nominate one half of the Captains and Lieutenants. These troops are to serve during the war for the protection of the Netherlands.—The states of Brabant and Flanders have also engaged to raise 10,000 men within six weeks, to recruit the Walloon regiments.
"P. S. We are just informed that the French again crossed the Sambre yesterday afternoon, and took possession of Fontaine l'Eveque, between Binch and Charleroi. We are, however, under no alarm, for the combined troops in that quarter now amount to 70,000 men.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11.
Lord GRENVILLE gave notice that he should on Friday next, move a vote of thanks to Earl HOWE, for his late glorious victory over the French.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 11.
Mr. Secretary DUNDAS gave notice, that on the first full day, which would probably be Monday, he should move the thanks of the House to those gentlemen, whose courage and abilities had contributed to our late naval victories.
LONDON, June 12.
We yesterday received a variety of intelligence from the Continent, which gives a very particular detail of all the latest transactions. The French completely invested Ypres, which they have bombarded for several days. General CLAIRFAYT has marched to its relief; and a general engagement in that quarter is hourly expected. The French are in very great force.
The late action appears to have commenced on the 28th, and continued partially during the 29th: On the 30th and 31st, Lord HOWE having the weather gage, the engagement became more general; and, on the 1st instant, the two fleets were drawn up in a line of each other, and every ship was engaged with its adversary. It was the longest action that was ever known. Twice did the British fleet break the French line; but, until the enemy's ships were so crippled that they became unmanageable, their officers and men fought with undaunted courage. The thanks of the nation, through the medium of the two Houses of Parliament, will best express the public opinion of the gallantry of our brave countrymen, who have gained to themselves immortal honours.
NEW AMERICAN AMBASSADOR.
On Sunday evening last, JOHN JAY, Esq. arrived at Falmouth, in the American ship Ohio, in 19 days from New-York. He is come to this country in the character of Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and is attended by his son, and a Secretary.
Although it must be allowed that the Americans are very much out of humour at the numerous captures made on their ships; we are well informed that such measures have long since been taken by our government, as will effectually remove every cause of discontent; and it appears from the above paragraph, that the American government is extremely averse to any hostile measures.
BARRERE has confirmed the decree for allowing no quarter to the British and Hanoverians; and has followed it up by a Manifesto against the English nation.
Yesterday a subscription for the widows of the petty officers and seamen who have fallen in the glorious action with the French fleet, was opened at LOYD's Coffee-House, and about 1000l. immediately subscribed.
Calvi is now the only port in the possession of the French in Corsica.
Lord Hood has published a proclamation, inviting the Corsicans to form themselves into an independent Republic, under the protection of the English; and Gen. Paoli is to convoke the States accordingly.
Letters from Deux-Ponts mention that
the French have taken a position behind the Sarre; and that Gen. Kalkreuth is advancing to Sarre libre.
The French are said, on the authority of a letter from Brussels, to have again crossed the Sambre, and taken Fontaine l'Eveque. The late check which they received at Charleroi was not productive of the expected advantages, and it is reported they have returned with considerable reinforcements.
If the French should succeed in their attempt against Sardinia, there is no doubt but they will proceed to Rome, not, indeed, to kiss the toe of his Holiness the Pope, but to tread on it.
The archduke of Milan set out for Alexandria on the 12th of May, in order to receive the King of Sardinia, who has been obliged to fly from his capital. The troops at the same time received orders to march.
The Empress of Russia, means formally to declare war against the Poles, and to march an immense number of troops immediately into their country.
Considerable sums of money are said to have been sent from Constantinople to Cozim, for the support of the Poles against Russia.
Opatow, a few miles from Warsaw, is the present head quarters of Gen. Kofciusko.
The swarms of French frigates and privateers not only in Europe and America but in the East-Indies, and the many captures lately made, have so confounded and alarmed the Underwriters, that yesterday West-India ships could not be insured under forty per cent, though some time ago they might have been done at six and eight per cent.
Accounts were yesterday received of 35 of our merchantmen, some outward and some homeward bound, being taken, and greater part of them carried into Brest. The loss is estimated at £.800,000
June 18.
By this day's mail we have the following article, dated Nieuport, June 8.—"We have just learnt that the French, having returned in great numbers, have retaken the town of Furnes, and all the posts of which a part of our garrison had possessed themselves the evening before.
Sixty thousand French troops collected from Lisle, Courtray, and Menin, are now surrounding the fortress of Ypres, the communication of which, with the other places in Flanders, is entirely cut off. The bombardment of it is carried on vigorously. Two attempts, it is said, have been made to take it by assault.
An attempt, it is thought, is meditated by the French on Ostend.
It appears that the French have fired red-hot Balls into Ypres, by which means they have destroyed the convents and many fine buildings belonging to that town.
By letters received yesterday from Ostend, we have the unpleasant intelligence that Gen. Clairfayt had sustained a defeat in his attempt to relieve Ypres on the 12th inst. In consequence it is said, that Ypres had surrendered on the 13th, but this wants confirmation.
The combined Swedish and Danish squadrons seem to be preparing for sea in the course of the present month. Admiral Wachtmeister commands the Swedes, and Admiral Kruger the Danes.
PLYMOUTH, June 2.
This afternoon arrived the brigantine Abeona, of Emsworth, BLANCH master, from Cadiz, last from Lisbon, from which place she sailed the 5th ult. in company with the Andalusia , Fame , Friendship and St. George , all of London; Friendship of Liverpool; George , of Liverpool; Perseverance , of Lynn; Renton , of Dartmouth; and two other English vessels; 44 sail of Dutch merchantmen, and one Spaniard, all from the Straits, Cadiz and Lisbon, under convoy of a Dutch frigate of 30 guns and one of 24 guns. On the 20th ult. they fell in with two 44 gun frigates, which chased under English colours, until they got within half a mile of the fleet, and then hoisted French colours, and fired into the largest of the Dutch frigates, on which a signal for general dispersion was thrown out; most of the English vessels made sail to windward, but the Dutch ships bore away before the wind, and one of the French frigates after them; and it is supposed by the crew of the Abeona, that great part of them must be taken; but by chasing to the windward, and night coming on, the Abeona fortunately escaped, lost sight of the French frigates and whole fleet, so that they cannot speak as to the number captured.
June 9.
This moment an express is arrived to
Admiral MACBRIDE, said to be brought by the Dolphin lugger from Guernsey, with the important information of the safe arrival of the Crescent, Druid and Euridice at Guernsey, after having had a most desperate action with five French frigates.
June 13.
Admiral Montague's whole fleet returned to Plymouth on Thursday morning.
The above squadron on Sunday last, saw eight sail of the line go into Brest; these were the ships that parted from the French fleet the 28th ultimo at night; and on the 29th chased the Audacious . They also on Monday last saw 16 of the French fleet steering for Brest, distant about 17 leagues from that port; seven of them were dismasted, and the others very much disabled, towing them.
Arrival of the Chesapeake Fleet.
By Admiral Montague, Government (we are informed) have received certain intelligence that the French American fleet amounting to 160 sail, are arrived to Port l'Orient. Of this rich convoy, the intrinsic value of which is above five millions sterling, but forty vessels are laden with cotton and sugar, the produce of their island; the rest are loaded with provisions and naval stores of all kinds. The convoy had four ships of war, and they are said to have been joined on the 3d instant by twelve more ships.
As an instance of the bravery of the French in the late action, the Jacobin of 80 guns, one of the French ships sunk, is said to have fired her upper guns, when the water was running in at the lower-deck ports; and the crew had previously determined not to strike, and had nailed the ensign to the staff, which was flying when she went down.
BOSTON, August 13.
THE CHESAPEAKE FLEET, It is probable has arrived safe in France, in some port in the bay of Biscay. On the 3d of June, they were spoke in lat. 46. 58. long. 15. 19. They were then two degrees and an half to the southward of Brest, and within ten degrees of longitude of the French ports in the bay. On the 6th June, Admiral MONTAGUE's squadron, which was sent in quest of them, was off the Lizard, which is a degree to the northward of Brest.
GRAND NAVAL COMBAT.
An account of this action, as related in France has been received. Capt. STODDARD, who has arrived here, spoke at sea with a Schooner, Capt. PRENTISS, from Bourdeaux, bound to Washington. Capt. P. informed, that accounts had been received at Bourdeaux, from whence he failed the 24th June, that the two grand fleets met the 29th May—the English being 26, and the French 34 strong; that one French ship was blown up, and three English ones destroyed, two being blown up and one, a three decker, sunk: That ten English and seven French ships were dismasted; that on the first of June, they had a second battle, when the French gained the victory, and put the English to flight; and that the crippled ships had mostly arrived at Brest.
Capt. P. further related, that the Chesapeake fleet (116 sail) arrived in France on the 13th and 14th June, convoyed by 6 men of war, who took and brought in eight prizes.
The former of these accounts is a hum—the latter is highly probable—and if so, the action of the first of June was not dear to the French.
Our Paris papers to the 11th June, make no mention of the naval combat, nor of the Chesapeake fleet!
We announced in the last CENTINEL, that two convoys, containing seventy sail of vessels, belonging to the English and Dutch had been captured by the French. The papers since received, confirm it; and add, that on board the two Dutch frigates taken was a great number of dollars.
An Ambassador was to sail from London for the United States, the 20th June. From what nation we cannot say—conjecture from Portugal.
The Halifax papers to the 29th July, make no mention of the beginning, end, or intention of any embargo.
August 14.
VERBALLY.
We take the liberty of congratulating our republican readers on the above interesting and highly favourable news from our friends and allies the Sans Culottes of France. And the breast of every real republican in America must glow with joy, on reading the additional information, that Ypres, is actually taken, as well as

Charleroi , places of great consequence in Austrian Netherlands.—
This intelligence we received from the passengers in the ship, who also inform that just before they left the Texel, which was the 1st of July, news was received of another great victory having been obtained by the French over the Combined Armies, in which CLAIRFAYT was defeated and BEAULIEU killed. The Dutch were in consternation even to Amsterdam . CAIRA.
LATE and IMPORTANT News from France !
Last evening arrived here, ship Juno , Capt. Wardell, in 44 days from Amsterdam—by this arrival we are favoured with London papers to the 18th June, from which the important articles that follow are extracted.
In addition to which, we can say, That Lord Howe had arrived with a part of his fleet at Portsmouth, together with the six captured French ships. The other part was said to have arrived at Plymouth.
Defeat of the Combined Forces under General CLAIRFAYT.
OSTEND, June 13.
Three o'clock Afternoon.
An Estatette has just arrived from the Duke of York, mentioning that very early in the morning he began his preconceived attack upon the French, from Courtray to Ypres, aided by the armies of Gen. Clairfayt and Gen. Armonsteiu, who had received very particular instructions relative to that business.
JUNE 14.—Ten o'clock, P. M.
The aspect of affairs is much more serious than when I wrote to you last.
The right wing of Gen. Clairfayt's army, designed for the relief of Ypres has been unfortunately routed.
The remainder of the 55th regiment have experienced the misfortune of Gen. Clairfayt, and returned hither this day. Great part of this gallant corps was cut to pieces. The 38th regiment, accompanied by the 12th and 8th Light Dragoons, suffered the same fate.
The French are within 4 miles of Thourout.
It is stated, but I hope without foundation, that they were within 12 miles of us; and that they have frightened the inhabitants of Bruges who are flying in all directions.
It is impossible that the Duke of York can render the brave Clairfayt any assistance, as he must first take Courtray and Menin, which still continue in the possession of the French.
Many families, especially the opulent merchants, panic struck with the success of the enemy, have hired vessels, and are about to withdraw themselves from a place where there is no real security against the incursions of the infuriated enemy, who is exceedingly formidable both in strength and numbers.
Gen. Stuart, our Commander, has ordered Capt. Robinson, to moor his vessel, the Brilliant , within the inner sound, to cover the Sand Hills, should the French think proper to cross the Canal.
I have it from the first authority, that many, very many of the guns, upon the ramparts are not fit for use; and I am persuaded that when they come to be fired numbers will burst, and others be shaken off their carriages.
A vast number of ships are getting out of the harbor all day long, particularly some very fine Indiamen. I have packed up all things of value, and am ready to stay here or go away as occasion may require; but unless something very particular happens, I am much afraid for the place.
Ypres is certainly surrounded on all sides, and every communication cut off. If Ypres falls, I think all this part of the country is lost.
A number of the 55th regiment came in this morning, dreadfully wounded, in an affray near Rousselier yesterday morning; I never saw men so fatigued and harraffed, having fled with precipitation from the enemy near 22 miles.
The opinion of many officers that I have conversed with this day, is that Ypres cannot hold out many days.
Nieuport is well fortified, and may hold out a siege of a fortnight or three weeks; but what does all this signify, if no relief can be had from the Duke of York?—They must come here at last, and thousands of lives will be sacrificed.
The sluices are now filling very fast, and every exertion making to repel the enemy.
General Armonstein, the Hanoverian
Commander, would not lead his men into action, and the latter were not inclined to fight; so that the brave Clairfayt, and the regiment mentioned in the former part of this letter, received the attack of the enemy. Clairfayt exclaimed several times—“Brave English!” But they had to contend with at least from 35,000 to 40,000 men; and they were at last obliged to retreat.
OSTEND, June 15, (Sunday.)
“Our situation remains still the same. Timorous people are packing up, and embarking, their moveable property as fast as they can; while others of a more steady temper are convinced that as yet there is no reason for hurrying away their merchandize, &c. and wait for the decision of the fate of Ypres. A gentleman who left this fortress last Thursday night states, that the fire of the besiegers had till then done little mischief; and that their batteries were no sooner erected, than beaten down by the besieged.
“Last night we heard a heavy cannonade; and now a flying report says, that at that time General Clairfayt dislodged the Carmagnols from Hoogledie; but I cannot pledge myself for the truth of this account.
“The inundation which took place last night, has filled all the fosses and ditches round this city, but has been stopped there, till the utmost extremity shall make it necessary to set the surrounding fields and meadows under water, which may be done at one tide.”
PORTLAND, August 9.
Capt. Scott, who arrived here last Monday from Rotterdam, informs, that he saw a London paper there a day or two before he sailed, dated June 15, which announced that Mr. Jay had an audience of the British King, and was favourably received.
NEW-YORK, August 13.
By an arrival on Saturday evening in 13 days passage from Hispaniola, we learn that the people of color, having been permitted to enter Fort Dauphin, had put 700 of the French Royalists to the sword.
BOSTON, August 16.
The President of the United States has issued a requisition for raising 12,950 of the Militia of the following States, to be held in readiness to march at a moment's warning, viz.
   Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Total.     Pennsylvania, 4,500 500 200 5,200   New-Jersey, 1,500 500 100 2,100   Maryland, 2,000 200 150 2,350   Virginia, 3,000 300 3,300   11,000 1,500 450 12,950  
Yesterday arrived the brig Adventure , Capt. Tucker, from Liverpool. She left it the 2d June. In long. 12, Capt. T. saw the English fleet, of about 39 sail in the whole, returning into port, in a very crippled state.
August 18.
Political Summary.
Since our last no later intelligence from Europe is received, either from the southward or at this port, than we then published: This intelligence, highly important to our Republican Allies the French, our readers will recollect, was received by an arrival from Amsterdam.
The papers mentioned that Ypres was strongly invested, and that it must shortly surrender. The passengers in the ship, informed, that that important place was actually taken, as well as Charleroi.
This news we were happy in communicating on Thursday: Since then, we have seen a letter in French, from respectable authority at Amsterdam, to a gentleman in this town, which mentions, that Ypres positively surrendered on the 18th June—the garrison consisted of 7,000 men—That on the 25th of the same month, Charleroi also capitulated; before which the Austrian General Beaulieu was killed. This letter also mentions, that the National Convention had repealed the decree forbidding quarter being given to the British and Hanoverians—and that it was the general expectation at Amsterdam, that the French would overrun all maritime Flanders.
By the return from Lord Howe of the killed and wounded, on board the British ships lately engaged with the French, it appears there were 297 killed, mariners and seamen, and 762 wounded, besides officers.
The same account makes the loss of the French in those ships only that were taken at least three times that number; it appears so barefaced, that we forbear publishing the particulars till we have them from both sides.
Citizen Vilteret Joyeuse was the commander in chief of the French fleet; Bouvre the second, and Millot the third in command.
Not one French ship struck their colors, but nailed them to the masts, and the Vengeur when going down hoisted an English Jack.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of information, in London, to his friend in this town, dated June 7th, 1794.
“At present the devastation in Europe, exceeds any former period of civilized nations; for I am within compass, when I say, that in Flanders, alone, 50,000 young fellows have fallen by the sword, during the last month, May; and without either side gaining two leagues of earth, and if France is to be conquered at this ratio of human immolations, Europe will be depopulated, before one province in France can be subjugated.—On one side, Freedom is the object of defence; on the side of the Allies, the plea is christianity. But I do not recollect that Christ cut any throats, to make converts. So far indeed from christianity being promoted, a kind of brutality, and love of human carnage seems to pervade each party. Even the aristocrats begin to sicken, either from the dread of the infection of equality of rights spreading, or from a rising conviction, that 26 millions of men, are not easily dragooned to submit to 10 millions.
“No individual can, I think defend the French in all their cruelties towards each other, either as politic or rational; but allowing this, I cannot see that it is our business to interfere in their internal government; and even had we a moral right, does it seem at all probable that England, with the 4th of the inhabitants of France, can annihilate them; unless like Sampson we bury ourselves under the ruins?
“Mr. Pitt himself, who seems to me to be a bold, loquacious, superficial man, is impelled to bold expedients by HAWKESBURY and DUNDAS; men who promoted the American crusade to get an unconstitutional tax, and in spite of experience, from disaster, have plunged us into another crusade to get a king, whose ancestors made a merit of roasting protestants. I have long thought, politics simple and familiar, were men honest and virtuous who direct government; but if the few are to ride on the necks of the industrious many, politics must be conducted in mazes and curves, to distract and to blind the mental fight, which in honest minds, likes to take strait lines.”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Boston, dated June 3.
“I have not heard a single person speak in favor of the war with France, except he enjoyed a place or pension under government. You may judge of the apprehension of ministers, when I inform you that I cannot walk the streets in the city without meeting nearly one third as many soldiers as inhabitants; three months ago it was a rare thing to see a soldier in the city, except at night at the Bank. The livery stables and taverns within 5 miles of London have from 8 to 10 light-horse quartered on them which they are obliged to maintain or give up their licence, which many have done not being able to maintain them, for they are allowed no pay. There is three regiments of soldiers to be encamped in Hyde-Park, next week, where they are to remain for the summer.”
A letter from a respectable gentleman in London, to his friend here, of the date of June 7, relates among a variety of interesting information the following:
“At a meeting about a month ago, of the London Constitutional Society, at the Crown and Anchor, a dinner was given, it being the Anniversary of said Society. Our behaviour (for I was present) alarmed Government very much; and since then, a great many men who were present, have been taken up—some committed to the Tower, and others discharged, just as the immaculate Privy Council who examined them thought proper.
“During dinner, Ca Ira , the Marseilles Hymn, and Carmagnole , were played by a fine band, prepared for the purpose; and afterwards several Liberty Songs were sung, and many patriotic Toasts given: some of them follow—
 1. The Rights of Man—2. A free Constitution. 3. The Swine of England—the Rabble of Scotland, and the Wretches of Ireland.—4. May despotism be troden under the hoof of the Swinish multitude. 5. The Armies contending for Liberty. 6. May the abettors of the present War, be its Victims. 7. Equal Laws and Liberty. 8. The reign of Peace and Liberty. 9. Citizen Stanhope, (meaning Lord Stanhope.) 10. Wisdom and 
unanimity to all the Patriotic Societies in Great-Britain. 11. May all Laws be those of Government, and Government that of the People. 12. The persecuted Patriots of England. 13. The most approved Friend to civil and religious Liberty. Horne Tooke. —
“There were about 300 persons present, among whom were two Members of Parliament.”
“The chairman of the meeting is a man of large fortune, and a representative of the people in the House of Commons; since this dinner, he has been examined before the Privy Council, and they wished very much to know what was meant by the fifth toast; Mr. Wharton replied that when it was handed in to him, the person made this observation, that as the armies of Great Britain were supposed to be contending for the cause of liberty, no person could be against drinking that toast. This reply satisfied them.”
“With respect to the celebrated Horne Tooke, I will relate a short anecdote:—When this gentleman was examined before the Privy Council, after being asked many questions, and being determined not to answer any of them, he said, “Citizens, Mum is “the order of the day,” —and would say not a word more in their presence. They committed him to the Tower where he still remains, and may for ought I know, as the prisoners in the Bastile used to, remain for years, and sometimes for life, without knowing for what they were accused, or who were their accusers.”
Arrived in our harbour yesterday morning, the copper bottomed ship Margaret , Capt. James Magee, in 6 months from Canton, stopped at St. Helena.—Capt. Magee failed from this port in October, 1791, on a laudable enterprise to the North West Coast of America.—While we announce the return of this ship from a long and hazardous voyage, we hope that the truly honourable exertions of the Capt. and merchants concerned, are crowned with complete success.—The Physician of the ship died with the small-pox at Canton.

A SONG.
My mind to me a kingdom is; Such perfect joy therein I find, As far exceeds all earthly bliss, That God or Nature hath assign'd: That much I want that most would have, Yet still my mind forbids to crave. Content I live, this is my stay; I seek no more than may suffice; I press to bear no haughty sway; Look what I lack my mind supplies: Lo! thus I triumph like a King, Content with that my mind doth bring. I see how plenty surfeits oft, And basty climbers soonest fall; I see how such as fit aloft Mishap doth threaten most of all: These get with toil, and keep with fear; Such cares my mind could never bear. No princely pomp, nor wealth store, No force to win a victory, No wily wits to save a sore, No shape to win a lover's eye; To none of these I yield a thrall, For why? my mind despiseth all. Some have too much, yet still they crave; I little have, yet seek no more; They are but poor, though much they have; And I am rich with little store: They poor, I rich; they beg, I give; They lack, I lend; they pine, I live. I laugh not at another's loss, I grudge not at another's gain; No worldly wave my mind can toss; I brook that is another's bane, I fear no foe, nor fawn no friend; I loath not life, nor dread mine end. My wealth is health, and perfect ease; My Conscience clear, my chief defence: I never seek by bribes to please, Nor by desert to give offence; Thus do I live, thus will I die; Would all did so as well as I! I take no joy in earthly bliss; I weigh not Cressus' wealth a straw; For care, I care not what it is; I fear not fortune's fatal law. My mind is such as may not move For beauty bright, or force of love. I wish but what I have at will; I wonder not to seek for more; I like the plain—I climb no hill; In greatest storms I sit on shore. And laugh at them that toil in vain To get what must be lost again. I kiss not where I wish to kill; I feign not love where most I hate; I break no sleep to win my will; I wait not at the mighty's gate; I scorn no poor, I fear no rich; I feel no want, nor have too much. The court, nor great, I like, nor loath; Extremes are counted worst of all; The golden mean betwixt them both Doth sweetest fit, and fears to fall; This is my choice; for why? I find No wealth is like a quiet mind.
PORTSMOUTH, (England) May 26.
By the retaken brig, Mary, of Bristol, from Malaga bound to Bristol, we learn, that the Castor frigate, and the whole of the fleet under her convoy, fell into the hands of four French sail of the line, and three frigates on the 10th inst. in 44. 30. long. 15. 30 West; that the said French ships had chased the Swiftsure, of 74 guns, a considerable time, but gave up the chase, preferring the trade, the whole of which were taken in sight of that ship. But fortunately the Venus frigate, one of a squadron detached by Lord Howe, with the East Indianmen, fell in with the said fleet, and recaptured nine merchant ships, and a French sloop of war, besides the above brig, Mary, which is arrived here—the recapture took place on the 17th inst.
BALTIMORE, July 25.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Spain to his correspondent in this town, dated May 7, 1794.
"A calm that had reigned for a considerable time past on our frontier, and gave room for many conjectures, has unexpectedly been succeeded by a long and bloody action, in which fatigue on the one part, and a great superiority of numbers on the other, gave the French one of the completest victories that the annals of war has on record. Artillery, Magazines, which were immense, a good many prisoners, and even the officer's cloathing have been the fruits of it. Such are our last advices from our army, with a victorious and a most ferocious enemy in view."
PHILADELPHIA, July 30.
Extract of a letter from Le Beuf, dated June 25. The Commissioners remain here inactive, as far as relates to the Presqu'ile business, owing to the improper interference
of the federal executive. The President may have acted from the best motives, but the measure has proved very injurious to this state and the United States in general.
NEW-YORK, July 30.
It has been suggested, since the British ships can get no supplies from the patriotic sons of the Delaware, that the names of those who supply them from this city be held in execration.
BOSTON, August 6.
From LONDON, May 29. [From a merchant there, to a merchant here.] "We lay the account of your late silence to the embargo laid by Congress, on all ships bound to Foreign Ports, which has much alarmed us, and suspended orders that were executing, as we are intirely ignorant of what measures Congress mean to adopt respecting this country."
"As far as relates to this nation, either politically or individually, there is no disposition to be upon ill terms with your States. In proof of which I inclose you the papers, wherein the Ministers, in their public capacity, assure the nation, that every thing has been done, to conciliate the difference with the Indians, and to evince a disposition perfectly amicable between the two countries."
SALEM, August 5.
Yesterday, Capt. Sayward arrived at Gloucester, in 25 days passage from Antigua; and a gentleman of respectability, who has seen him, informs us, that he brings the following account:—
That the British, under Gen. Grey, having attacked the French forces at Grandterre (Guadaloupe) in three divisions, were repulsed with great slaughter, and a complete defeat: That one division had about 400 men killed; another, 200; and the third 100; that Gen. Grey himself was wounded in the arm, and the Adjutant-Gen. killed; That in consequence of this defeat, the British were evacuating the island entirely: That Admiral Jervis had discontinued the blockade, and gone to Basseterre, to facilitate and protect the embarkations. That a part of the troops had arrived at Antigua, and an officer informed Capt. Sayward, that he lost 1 serjeant and 17 privates out of his company only. The officers declared, that they had never encountered such troops as the French, and that it was impossible to withstand their impetuosity. The British were under the necessity of leaving their wounded to the mercy of the enemy.
The account of the defeat was published in the Antigua papers, before Capt. S. failed. Our informant could not recollect on what day it took place.
Capt. S. relates a circumstance which took place—whether before or at the time of the action, or by what means, we could not learn, that about 100 men, among whom was the Commander of a British 74 gun ship, and several other officers, were blown up in a house upon the island
