Capt. Bennett, who arrived on Wednesday,
from Bayonne, in France, had a paflage of 44
days. The only paper that he brought out with (
Lira, and which was ef the 3d of August, he gave j

its firft capture, the Auftrians again got po/Tellion
of it ; but the French (dcceeded in racking and
holding the city. After the capture of Frankfort,
the siege of Mentz commenced—A war between
Spain and England was expected. An Englilh fti
gate had been taken by the Terrible, of ,74 guns, •]
and carried into a small harbor cailed'the PafTaget.
Provisions ot every kind were cheap ; and brandy
about fc/» n or eight livresper veit.

y udent in this city, that it \Vas kis intention to untie

7 Brmnfwisk 1 roops,« well as troops of the Empire ;
4 and that different states had charged themselves
o with the expenCe of maintaining this body 5 that
s this mea,fare had keen didated by ncccflity and the
6 principles of felf preservation ; that its obj.a had
- been to secure the northern part of ,Germany from
3 iiivafion and infme itis tranquility, and that as filch
1- s* organization, so far from being cdfitrary to the
is conftitotion, was even fcvored by it, his serene
lf hightw:fs flatters himfelf thar this step will meet
with his Imperial mnjefty's approbatius.
The affair of the Abbe Salabert, minister *of the
dnk« of Deiixponts ftili remains in Biicertalnty.
Ttre courts of Bradenbourg, Saxony, Hanover,
3 HefTe Ca£Tel and Wurtzbourg, have demanded a ter.

f June, Baron du Huge], the Imperii commissioner,
- .tjic the court of Yicnna.
r gave the mmifters of the Claimants to undcrfttod
e " that in the present cafe the Emperor could not be
.j considered as The head of the empire, but as thr
e sovereign ot hie own dominions, and that confe
i' qaently he left the entire management of the afeii
- to tae Duke of Octix Pouts.
. VIENNA? July 3,
The intelligence received three days -ago from
the Rhine, of the success of his Royal Highnefe
the Archduke Charles, has caused much j iy in our
ifcourt. [One wonl i imagine that the mini'fters of
this poor deluded Emperor make him believe thai
his armies, by losing battles, are gsini?* vi&ories
over the Republicans. Should that be the cafe', we
confidently prom fe hir.i a continuance of-joy. R e
mark of the French Editor. J
If we give credit to a letter from Landlhrut, in
r, Bavaria, dated the Ift of July, there are a&ually in
Bavaria, and in the Upper Palatinate, upwards of
1200 emigrant priests.
Wc find by the letter, that particular notice was
taken of ono M. de la Galaifiire,a French Bilhop,
who had refidcd for several years past at Landfhut.
It appears that this prelate at different times ordei
ed all the French j*ieft»fecretly to buy up all kinds
of provision, which he intended to trai fpott ta the
army of the Piincv of Conde. This fliglu manoeu
vre having been difcoveied, the provifiom which yet
remained in (tore was confifcated, and the Bishop
. liimfelf was commanded by the government to de
. part from the city, withoat loss of time, which he ,
5 did instantly, but has since been arrcfted at Munich,
. being accused of other treasonable pra&Tces.
The' Prince of Cobourg is to put himfelf at tht j
head of an army of thirty thousand Ruffians, who ,
are to march towards the frontiers of Galiicia ; they
' are to be divided into two bodies, one of which is
' to cover tha ; province, and the ether to terminate
| the differences which always fubfjft between the
Prussian and Aullvian commissioners, rcfpe&ing the
debarkation of its limits. Although this news has
been handed to us as authentic, we venture to fay
it will not be confirmed.

ARMY OF THE RHINE AND MOSELLE.
at Baden, 17 Meffidor
(July 6) 4th year of the French Republic.
The General in Chief, to the Executive Directory. ,
Citizen Dire&ors, „
IN my last report, I gave an account *®f my •
project for marching against and Frenden
iiadt-
At day break yesterday morning the troops be
gan to move ; that under the General Defaix to
aitaek all that it fin-is between the Rhine and the
mountains, and General St. Cyr to attack the "po
fitionsof Frend/nftadt.
This last affair was exceedingly brisk. The re
infyrcertient of the Auftrians had arrived j the arms '
of the troops, after the severe rains, were in a
frightful state, and could not be fired. General
La Roche, commanding this attack, ordered his
infantry to fix theit bayonets, and they carried the
works after a most vigorous refilVar.ee on the part
of the enemy, whose loss, in killed and, wounded,
was very confid«rab!e. —We took about ioo pri
»> fattens, of whom feverai are cadets. Genera! Li
- Roche, whose bravery merits the greatest eulogies,
in was wounded in the haoil by a mufquet hall. The
f- firll brigade of light infautry, and the other troopi
in employed in this attack, conduced theoifelvei with ;
i- the grealcft bravery.
:d ■ The march of the lef' wing was attended by a j
-s continual combat, from Bulh to Olft. The ene* ,
o my, at this village in partirular, made the moflob
i- ilisate refinance: f"hcir position vvas excellent, its
left at Baden, its right at Olbach.—The left was
•finally forced by the mountains, the cb.irge beat at
the attack in front of the village of OKt, and we
h were rendered mallei of it. We took here a cap
iain and about 80 men. This attack was {banned
!e by General St. Suzanne and Adjutant-General De
ll ceau, under .the orders of General Defaix. Ge- ]
it neral Delmas has equally chafed a!i hp «ould find
e between (he Jihise and the Olbach.
r. The night and the great fatigue of the troops
f- forced jnc io poftponc the attack ofthe enemy's po- '
0 fiU9ns at Raftadt, Rupperh'im, and
I. untill the next day. The general officers and the
•- troops continue to give the greatelt proofs of ta
lents and courag'c. All the armies have distin
guished themfelvcs. I made on the field of battle
1 a lerjeant of a corporal of 17th half brigade of
- light infantry, who, himfeif made three prisoners. 1
