but were repulled in each attack. The fire.
,was dreadful on both Gles and fsveral houfes
iwe-e burnt down. The enemy advanced a.
,gain& our left wing as far as Bergen; the
!no& furious conftcs enfued, and they were
drives back with the lcfs of forne prifoners.
Our left wing and centre advanced again, |
and the artillery kept up an uninterrupted

ted the bloody conhia, or rather afforded an
to recover Grength to renew The!
battle by the dawn of Gay. 1t actually re-
commenced on the morning of the cd, AL

,amPled fury, and every inch Of ground wast
5conteeed. The enemy renewed the attack !.
.at different times, with frefi troops, and VIC.
tory remained doubtful, till at length our
troops became exhaufed with fatigue, and
began their retreat, which was general, and

French NeaPclitan tranfports attempted
to fail from Alexandria, but were burnt
by Capt. Hood, and the crews fent

cutting eight tranlports out of Damiet-
ia they were part of a feet of a5
vehels, conveyed By three frigates, ar
rived from Toulon, with fupplies. The

ton that every thing was quiet, & that
there were no appearances of any extra
ordinary preparations on the part of
Tippo Saib.
We learn from Spain, that the Court
has put into execution a meafure of
Finances, the idea of which they bor-
rowed from England, but which they
have carried to much greater extent.
A Decree has been i1ued, ordaining
that all fums of money locked up either
in litigation between individuals, or
mortgaged to fPecihc ufes, the Unclaim-
cd Dividends on public or private fe-
curities, the portions of children, the
funds Of corporations, and generally all
dead and inactive capital Of every kind,
lhall be paid into the hands of Govern
ment, who ihall allow 3 per cent inter-
eft for the ule thereof, & lhall be bound
to pay back the principal when called
upon in courle of law, and to fulfil all
the conditions Of the original bequelts
in cafes where funds have been appro-
priated to particular ufes, and where
the Progrefs Of times Object. In this
way, we underfand Government will
be able to lay their hands upon very
large (ums indeed, many of the incorp-
GRATED companies having immen1e mort
gagged treafure.
This meafure evidently comes from
the fruitful brain of fome Of their new
friends, the French Financiers.
