CONTINUATION OF
Foreign Intelligence,
Received by theJh'tp Hunter, arrived at
New-Tork from London,
LONDON, Nov
Thirteen persons, accused of having
been in corrsfpondence with Gen. Van
Damme, when he besieged Nieuport, and
who endeavored, by their influence a
mong the inhabitants of that place, to fa
cilitate the surrender of it, have been ar
retted at Ghent.
The indictment against BrifTot, and the
other arretted deputies, was drawn up on
the 2 jth ult.
The infamous Egalite, in obedience to
the decree of the National Convention, is
arrived at Paris, in order to take his trial
with Briffot, and the other arretted depu
ties.
Mr. Elliot, minister plenipotentiary
from the King of Great Britain, in deli
vering to the States-General of Holland,
the declaration relative to the affairs of
France, accompanied it with a memorial,
in which he said, " That his Britannic
Majesty doubted not but that the senti
ments contained in this declaration, were
perfectly conformable to those of the other
powers of Europe.
The States General, in reply, thanked
Mr. Elliot for the above communication,
and prayed to him to make it known to
the Miniftryof his Britannic Majesty,—
" That, as the causes of the present war
have been the fame with his Britannic Ma
jesty as with their High Mightineffes,who
are united by the bonds of ft rift alliance ;
so the end which the States General have
propofedto themselves in continuing it,
have never been other than that expressed
in the said Declaration ; to wit. To rc
pulfe an unjust aggrelfion ; to co-operate
in the defence of their allies j and to ob
tain an honorable and solid peace, as well
asajuft indemnification for the immense
expences occasioned to the Republic and
its allies, by the violence of their common
enemies. In consequence, the States Ge
neral fully partake ofthe sentiments of his
Britannic Majesty, and will enjoy the ut
most fatisfaftion, when the French nati
on, restored to itfelf, and united under a
government which refpe£h the sacred
bonds of civil society and the rights of o-
[Whole No. 494.]
ther nations, (hall be able to renew its re
lations ot peace and union with other
states; and enforce the maintenance of
them."
From the LONDON GAZETTE'
WHITEHALL, Nov. 6.
The following dispatch was received
this morning from Sir James Murray, &c.
&c. by the Rt. Hon. Henry Dund'as, his
majesty's principal Secretary of State for
the Home Department.
Champhin, OA. 30, 1793-
Sir,
" I have the honor to inform you of
the success of an attack upon Marchiennes,
which, by order of his Royal Highness,
took place last night.
" Eight battalions were put under the
command of Major General Krav, for
this enterprize. They marched at mic'-
night from Orchies in three columns, each
column headed by two officers and 60
volunteers, fupporfed by 300 men. These
were not permitted to load. The reft of
the troops of the different columns, with
their cannon, followed at fomc diftancc.
A detachment from the corps of Major
Gen. Otto, ported by Denain, marched
about the fame time, formed iu 4 columns,
in similar order that the town might be
attacked at once Upon all fides. The lat
ter troops were discovered by the enemy's
out posts, and prevented from penetrating
by the opposition which they met with.
Those under Gen. Kray, one column of
which advanced upon the high road from
Grchies, and the two others npon the left
of it, got, about 2 o'clock in the morning
within a ftiort distance of the town before
they were perceived.
dl w
" The volunteers at the head of the
column which was upon the road, fell in
with a picquet about 100 yards from th*
gate, which they surprised, killed the
greater part of it, and pursued the reft l.»
closely, that they entered the place 1-
long with them. The troops in the town
made little resistance. After being- driv
en from the market plate, where they
had assembled, they retreated to a con
vent near it. They there proposed
terms of capitulation, which Gen. Kray
consented to, as they surrendered prison
ers of war, with the folc condition of the
officers being permitted to wear their
swords.
" There are 1629 prisoners, officers
included, most of them troops of the
line. There arelikewife 12 piecesof can
non and 22 or 23 tumbrils taken. There
arc supposed to be about 300 of the ene
my killed. The lofsofmajor gpn". Krav's
corps is between 70 and 80 tilled and
wounded. Thefofs upon major gen. Ot
to's fide is unknown,, hut it is not imagj
uedtobe conflderable.
I have the honor to be,
with the greatest refpeft, Sir,
your most obedt. humble ferv.
