Our correspondent at Hamburgh, whose infor
mation may be relied on as authentic, under the
date of July 8, communicates the following parti
culars—
The French were mailers of Upper Italy, except
the citadel of Milan, which they were preparing;
, to assault. The repott of th? loss of 8000 French,
at a pass on the Adige, was a falihood propagated
in some Imperial gazettes, and universally be
lieved for some days in Germany ; designed pro
bably to aid" the spirits of the Auftrians, when
marching to Wetzlar to encounter General Kleber.
The Anltrian general put an end to the truce,
at the moment the conspiracy of Baboeuf an.
Droutt was to have been executed in Paris, and
relying much on the cffe6t of that plot. The dif
eovery of it threw the Auftrians Into Cqnflernation
—as it did also some of the Orleans party, who
are emigrants, in the north of Germany.
The French a:lrty on the Lower Rhine made a
Tapid progress—all the villages were deserted be
fore them—The archduke crossed the Rhine and
Jordan pursued him. - The battle of Wetzlar,
in which the aichduke bent his force to affifl War
< tenfleben, fucreeded/ and a few days afiei, the.
action at Ukeradt, which was (till m<rv severe,
ami in which and a'her aflions the German ac
COlltitJ declare, the French have loft in killed
wounded, 16,000 men.
General Jourdan seemed not to lend any aflift
ance to General K.eber, and in the fame irae Gen
Moreau made a fpi it ed attack on the li--es near
Manheim, and drove the A.uftri ns to the Rhine
Cattle, near Manhcim, on the left, or weft fide of
the river. These were ma< ceuvres to aid the main
point; that of eroding the Rhine at Strafburgh.—.
•This has forced prince Charles to fall back with
his main body.
By this (tep the army *f the prince of Conde
is entirely tut off from a communication with the
Aultrian army; and must retire to the fouthealt or
inner part of Suabia, or fall iato the hands of the
French. '
On ihe 24th ef June, at Strafburg, it was given
out that Moreau was intended to reinforce the Ita
lian army, and provisions were ordered from a3 far
{is Savoy.
Suabia is a rich fruitful country, its inhabitants
numerous, and well affected to the French revoluti
on—it abounds aifo with rich abbeys and monalte
ries. [Gi«od picking for Republicans.3
The French occupy Raltadt and Ofienburg, be
low Strafburg—the northern army of the Auftri
ans is retiring, a pas de geants, as our correspon
dent ex*preffes it, with gigantic (tricles.
Gen. Kleber and Lefevre have ,again crofiVd the
Sie'g—aijother divifiou' was bombarding NeUwied
* cn the' Rhine, and would soon reercsis. that river.
WarenfleuWn was retiring on the fame mure as be
fort, towards Wc ziar. The environs of Marihrim
have been evacuated by he French army of the
Sambre and Meufe. which was fupoofe*! to be
marching to Suabia. On ihe 2d of July the head j
quarter, of prime* Charles wrre to beat Schwetfin- |
gei,near HMdilbtr^. At Riftadt the French pof- '
fefled themselves of the iargeft Aultrian magazine.)
The French were to occupy Leghorn on th<* 19th
June, and were probatly at Rome eaily in July.
At that time aKo, 80,00. French were marching
towards Frankfort.
Gen. Bucinaparte, fix years ago, was a fiudent
at Pari*, a tlniverfity in th» Milanese, from whfch
he was expelled on account of his principles of li
berty, and a fort of infurie£tion among the stu
dents. r
The empress of Rtiflia has given the Diet of Ra
tifbon to understand, (he cannot loeik-with indiffer
ence on the difiolution of the Germanic, body, and
their abandonment of the emperor. This is mere
parade,"for (he has given the Dutch the right to
t rade to Petersburg, as formerly.
The duke of Brunfwi. k's Pruflian army of ob
fervation, will preserve the north of Germany from
invasion. His head quarters are a Mindtn. The
Pruflian king pretends thus to preserve the neiltrali
* tyof the north ; while his real motives are proba
hly to make himfelf ufeful and necessary to the nor
thern circles, and get his army maintained at the es
penfe of Lower Saxony.
Great Britain begins to fliow more refpeft so neu
tral powers. She has restored the (hi, s captured
from Denmark. An English man.of waT was latfer
ly condemned tp pay all colts and return to their
former ft it ion, forae French cutters and prizes she

ter the publication of the new conltitution, the sol
diers disbanded themselves and refufed to fervear.y
longer ; they broke their arms and fold them to the
people of color. Whereupon the officers saw a
croud of armed people, composed of inhabitants of
the isle, strangers and people of color, enter the
fort and seize the magazines, arsenals, &c. The
officers were insulted with impunity. By favor of
some generous citizen*, they were taken under the
protection of the burgesses, and the under figne.l,
with full permission of the governor of the isle, and

LONDON, July 12,
Letters were on Friday received in town from

into a considerable degree of alarm, in confequence 1
of information rereived there from St. Maloes,
dating, tftat general Hoche, who has been employed
for some months pad in bringing the war with she
Chouans to a conclusion, is now forming a camp of
15000 men in the environs of St. Maloes ; and has
put every filhing and other small veffe] in that port

the vefFels in thai port.
The object of this expedition is aVowcdlv again It

This was an adtion breught by Mr. Goldfmi
against the defendant, for damages, sot having said
of the plaintiff, at the Itock exchange, that he
proniifed to be answerable foi tbe expence of print
ing, &c. the forged L'Eclair, which falfely ao
uounced a Convenrion [between the Emperor and
the Fiet ch Republic in February last (thecircum
fiances of which are now full before the publfc,)
whereby the plaintiff said he was injured fn fame
and reputation, Sec. That it was done mali/ciouf
ly, &c. to effect his ruin, &c. To plaintiff's da-,
mage 20000.
The defendant pleaded two pleas; firft, That
he was not guilty, as stated in the plaintiff's decla
rition, Sec. iecondly, That he was jurtifted in
what he said, he having been told so by others, &c.
To this there was a replication, that the defendant
was jultilied in what he said, Sec.
j On the part of the plaintiff, Mr. Erlkine exert
ed his talents with his usual zeal and eloquence, and
called his evidence, vtho proved that the substance
of what was complained of'was uttered by the de-
I fendant. /
On behalf of -the defendant, Mr. Serjeant Adair
made a very abfe speech, and called some witnesses,
but they did not come up in their evidence to the
cafe he opened for bis client.
Mr. Erfkine mad^a very animated reply on be
i half of the plaintiff.
i Lor 1 Kenyon summed ap the cafe, and made
; many ob)ervatioii6 on the whole of th« cafe ; after
Which the Jury retired, and having remained out of
court about 40 minutes returned with a verdict for
the Plaintiff—Damages 1500!. ' .
VULGAR PREJUDICE.
A few weeks since, a lady in Dublin, who labour
ed under an acute and obftinSte fever, w sattended
by an eminent physician, who found it necessary to
exert his Utrtioft (kill, and prescribe the molt pow
erful medicines, but without any apparent effedt—
and with some astonishment saw his patient exhauf
ied almost to death, in despite of all his (kill ; at
leucTth some flight symptomS of a crisis appearing
he ordertfd some dr-tighis to aid exhausted nature,
and calling in the evening to know how they had
operated, was informed his patient was dead !
On entering the chamber, he saw several women
occupied in walhing the body/and preparing it for
-he lift of the ohfecjuies ; and aceidently calling his.
eyes toward" the windr w, observed iA the casement
if one of the shutters not only the bottles he had
rderod that day in the state they came from ch>
;*thecsry's, untouched, bst all ti'ie medicine he
had pr»fcrib6dfor a fortnight before !
On interrogating the nur.fe-tender, the an/wer
was, " tliat she thought it a fin to teize the poor
Ldywithfuch nnufeous tralh, or to be making a
p<sUekerry's (h;>p her belly."
On a closer infpedtion of the body, the vital
warmth did not feern <Juite extin£t ; a very faint
pulft- almost imperceptibly throbbed at her temples
and wiifts, and the application of a mirror before
her mouth atd nollrilSj evidently (Trowed that res
pira ion was not gone. The body was inftantlv put
into a warm bed, and by the application of proper
cordials, reltored to life in less than three houts,
and to perfect health in lefsthan a month, to the in
, expressible joy of the lady's family and friends ; hut
the poor lady had the to find herfrlf
deprived of a mod beautiful and luxuriant head >>f
hair, which the witches of death had (horn off, in
their hurry to fit her tor the coffin.
