" His Royal Highnefs the Archduke CHARLES,
being recovered from his indifpofition, which tome
time ago obliged him to quit the army, his Im-
perial Majetty has been pleafed again to confer on
his Royal Highnefs the command of the army in
Germany. His Royal Highnefs quitted Prague
on the 14th inft. to take upon himfelf that com-
mand ; but is refolved, at the fame time, to re-
tain the chief command of the Bohemo-Moravian
Legion, and has previoufly appointed General
Count Szvaa RAT to the command of that Legion.'
His Royal Highnefs the Archduke Jou* has
fent reports, dated the 9th, loth, 11th, and 12th
;giant, from 'the head-quarters at Frofburgh,
Theifendorf, and Salzburgh : according to which
the line of the corps of Prince CONDE was attacked
by the enemy on the 9th, in the neighbourhood of
Neubayern, who overpowered the poft of Nen-
bayern, and thus advanced to the right banks of
the Inn.—Agreeably to the fiatements Pent in at
the fame time, by his Royal Highnefs, the lofs
of his army, fence the renewal of hoftilities,
amounts to 918 men in killed ; and 3514 in woun-
ded ; the number of prifoners and miffing, had at
tuft been Rated at 5396 men ; but, as of the latter
many have fine joined their corps again, the era&
number of &Women cannot• as yet be Rated with
certainty.

a From Italy, the General of Cavalry, Count
BILLIGARDI, reports, under the 6th and 9th inft.
that on the 4th the enemy had advanced by four
different roads againft the volition at Bondeno,
occupied by General Schuftck, whom they at-
tacked with much vigour; but Lieut.-Colonel
Munkatzy, Rationed there with fome troops for
the fupport of the former, employed them fo skil-
fully, that the enemy was repulfed ; on which oc-
cafion a Chief of Battalion, 7 Officers, and to
non.commiffioned officers and privates, were made

prifoners; and two veffels, onboard of which the
enemy had attempted to crofs the Panaro with a
divifion of troops, were taken. Of the other hof-
tile troops that had advanced for attacking that
pofition, too were partly killed, partly wounded,
on their fight. Our own loft was inconfiderable.
On the 6th, the Paid General Schußck extended
his out pofts along the Panara, as far as St. Bi-
anca, and along the Recco and Po di Primer°, as
far As Argent() and Bailie. On this occafion, the

reported, that the Court of London had releafed
our Court from all Obligations, in cafe of an op-
portunity offering itfelf for concluding a feparate
peace with advantage. Should this be a fait, we
may hope, if not for a general Peace, yet for a
Peace between France and Aufiria. After the
battle of Hohenlinden, General MOR Eau fent an'

Durin the fiege of Acre,GHEZZAR PACHA was

quell he pleafed and he fhould comply with it. Sir
SIDNEY afked his axe, the badge of his authority,
which the PACHA, after a moment's hefitation,
gave him. The ufe which Sir SIDNEY made of this
authority, was to liberate from prifon a neighbour-
ing Chief, the Prince of the Mountains, and feve-
ral of his followers, whom GNIZZAIL had got into

places twelve feet—it did not reach town till fix
o'clock Taft night.—The delivery of the inland let-

A Ibort time ago, between two and three hun-
dred pieces of ancient hirer coin were difcovered
in a tan-yard in Stafford, about a yard from the
furface of the ground. They were contained in a
finall jug, and arc in an excellent (late of prefer-
ration. It is funpofttl they have lain there about
700 years, as they appear to have been coined
during the reigns of Ermssottso, Camara, and
HAIDICANOTE, which laft Monarch died (it is
