IntelligenCe of the Most gratifying nature pdurs

" Good wine needs no bush,"—we therefore lay the

HELVOETSLUYS, DECEMBER es.
S 6 Accounts have been received here today, that '144
the consequence of the late heavy conscription id
France has been a general revolt, and that -great
numbers are daily deserting to the Allies.
" Private letters from Frankfort, of the 6th instant;
state, that the Deputies from thejwiss Confederation
had on that day an audia;ce of his Majesty the Ern- !
peror of Austria. They were received very gra-
ciously by that Monarch ; but, as it is said, on their •
proposal that the act of neutrality should be respect:
ed, were diemissed with the assurance, that all possible
. •
rbearance should be exercised towards SWitierland,
but that be could not consult to a neutrality." •
LOYRECHT, DECEMBER st.
66 According to information received from the
neighbourhood of Hamburgh; the Prince .of
muhl, who is observed by the Crown Prince of swc_ '•
den, on the 15th instant, made an effbrt to cut hie
way through with his corps, but that his intention has •
been frus'tratea by the Crown Prince of Sweden in
such manner, that- he lost 8000 aids in killed and
wounded, besides 4000 taken rrisoners, so
.that he
was obliged to throw himself into Hamburgh, with t
the remains of his army, which was diminished to 7
or 8000 men:

certain intelligence of its having surrendered. •
" The garrison of Gorinchem continues to male •
sallies from time to time, but is always driven back
w:•11 loss. Last Sunday, on their making one of their

Sovtr has caused to be inundated, was improperly .„
rendered, in the last translation from -the French Pa- 4*,
pen, " the Bidassoa," which is A fieritier River of

town of Biclache, about twelve miles East froth Bay-
' onne, and disembygues itself into the Adour. •

FLORIINCE, Deeemiss 15. .
" The day before yesterday the English division
of Commodore. ROWLEY cast anchor a lea e and a .
half to the N.E. of Leghorn, got ready their boatsi
and disembarked about .1500 men, who immediately
marched upon the town, and occupied its suburbs.—
Yesterday, at half-past seven o'clock, the enemy be-
gan the aitack. He was vigorously received—at eleven
o'clock we had silenced the enemy's fire. He sent a
fl ig of truce, which was not admitted—about four
o'clock he recommenced firing upon the town, but
was answered so well that an hour afterwards he aban-
doned the enterprise ; the enemy took advantage of the
night to re-embark, and this mording we found three
hundred killed and several wounded, which be left
upon the shore. Several deserters, who profited by
the night not to re-embark, presented themselves
at the gates of the town. They arrive every moment.
Our garrison acted with much bravery. Conscripts
which arrived on the tfth, and who only received their
cloaths on the 12th, did not quit the ramparts. There
*as not a single instance of disorder. The popula.
tion has evinced that it mas French, and given tun-
quivooal proofs of its fidelity."_
