man kill arrived from flatland,
that he read, in a Dutch Paper of the sth initant, an
account of a battle having been fought on the Vie
tula, between the French and Ruffian armies. The
confliet is rumoured to have been one of the =soft
dreadful ever recorded. The enemy were repeatedly
attacked in their entrenchments, and their affailanta
as often repulfed. At length, however, the Ruirrait
Referve coming up, the fate of the day, which wee
till then doubtful, was decided in their favour ; sod.
the vanquiffied enemy driven, with the loft of their
artillery, and an immenfe number of Len, (their ea.
trencomenrs being choaked with the dying and the
dead) to the left bank of the Viflula.
Such is the report circulated ; but not having
ourfelves Peen either the Gentleman alluded to, or
the Paper flared to contain this account, we can fay
nothing as to the degree c'f credit to which it is en-
titled. We give n° credit to it ourfelves.
•
By forne rniltaice the Edinburgh newfpaper did not
reach us yellerday, or we would have taken notice 4 f
a report which it contains of a lauding having been
made in the Orkneys by three French privateer s.—
Another account timed that a Tingle privateer had
been (handed there, a cireumflance more likely to be
corral than the former. On this fubjea we have this
morning received the following accounts:

" Different letters was yefterday received 'here, refpetting an
enemy's Chip, raid to be itranded in the Orkneys. Oneletter Rand,
that a French line of battle sip had been driven ashore on one of
the Orkney Mande, and that the crew had landed part of their guns.
" Another letter rays, that a French Ovum, of Ls guns and
75 men. had been pat Owe in the Orkneys; and that the Thurfo
Volunteers were preparing to go over and take poirefbees of her."

Yeflerday evening an English and a Ruffian Mef-
fenger left town on their way for Paterlburgh. The
Englifh Meffenger is cha►ged with dispatches from
our Governm•nt to Lord HuTtutttt•a. The Ruffian
Mellinger carries difpatches from Baron Nicol.; to
the Ruffian Cabinet.

The Dublin papers, received this morning, all con
cur in timing, that the reports of meeting►, for trea
