Yesterday Lieutenant Duval, who wasdtf
patched hp Lord Neffop over land co Indii
with tbe neM's of Ms memorable viftory, ar
rived express from Bombay and brought also
advices from Constantinople. We under
stand that every thing is favourable in the
Eafl Indies, and, there is nothing new frotn
Conflantiuoplc. He came from Hamburgh
in thcj Busy sloop of war.
This day arrived the Mail from Ham
burgh which becyfc" due la ft Sunday. Tbe
contents, howevefpfcwe been in a great mea
sure anticipated by the London Gazette of
lalt night, capt. Ommanney, who accompa
nied lieut, Duval from Vienna, having
brought difpatchas to Ministers from Sir
Morton Eden. The furtheraccounts which
general Rray gives of this important battle
of the sth in ft. and the conferences which
followed ityare most autpicious to the ia-te of
Italy. It is impeffibfe for any thing to bp
more complete than the victory of the Ati
ftrians. The French are not only driven in
to their fortrefles, where it is a question whe
ther they have magazines and (lores, or can
depend on the difpofiticn of the. natives to
befriend them ; but lie is reduced to such a
slate ofdiforder and mutiny that the Gazette
tells us thf soldiery even plundered their own
generals. In little more than a fortnight
the army of Italy has been thus broken in
pieces, and now Moreau is called upon to
colleft the and restore them to or
der and His military talents are
indisputable ; but we fufpeil it tvilibe beyond
his fkiil to rally them, or to preserve his
footing against the augmented force which the
jnnflion of the Ruffians, with the vi&orious
Auftrians, new embodied against him ; if the
two latiei be notvifited w-ith the curse of jea
lousy—the bane of united armies of different
countries, languages, arid manners.
AL
The French papers prepared us for the ac
count of the capture of Schaffhaufen, which
the Gazette alio announces. The campaign
in this quartet 8 will now be broOght into the
country of and every friend to
the liberties of mankind must rejoice to think
that brave and afflifted people hav- now a
chance to regain their independence.
I have the honour to inform'you, that
vefterday morning in lat. 50 23, long. 15 20,
we chafed a (hip, which on our firing at her,
Hoiftcd French colours. The wind blowing
exceedingly hard stNW. with a very heavy
Tea, Ihe got before the wind when within
halfgun-fhot of her, and setting all possible
fail, obfiinately perfifled in Attempting to es
cape ; after carrying away our ftudden fail
. booms, we continued firing our chafe guns,
when Hie fuddently gave a broad yaw to wind
ward, infhtntly overset, and in the space of
two minutes, (he went down, and not an atom
of the wreck could be seen. The greatest
exertions and the utmoflpxpeditinn was used
in bringing the Mebmpus to die wind as
near the spot as possible, with the view of
laving these unfortunate people, but nothing
remained on the fur face.
I find by the information of the captain
a nd officers of Le Papilfon, which failed from
Nantes, about the fame time with this (hip,
and who knew her both from appearance
the signals (lie made to us, that (he was Le
Nantois, of f4 twelve and fix pounders, and
Ijo men ; and I am very sorry to add, that
from other circumstances there i? no room
for doubt, that the maPerand part of the
csew of the Echo, of Pool, which fhs had
taken, were amongst the fnffers on this me
lancholy occasion.
Yesterday we flopped the prefr to "an.
nounce that intelligence had been received
at the admiralty of tf:e Brest fleet having
put to fe'a. The account comes from Lord
Bridport and was brought t» Plymouth by
the Do ly cutter of 8 gun*. His Lord ship's
dispatches Hate, that on Friday last it was
discovered by his cruisers thar tlx Freneh
fleet had come out of Brcft harbour, and
had fleered to the fonthward. They had
take# advantage of a leading east wind to
come out and a thick fog prevented the En
glish frigates appointed to watch their mo
tions from afcertaing precisely their force,
25 or 26 ships were clearly numbered, but
it were rot certa : n whether'more than x 6
or 17 were ships of the line ; 18 (hips of
the line had bi»n obfer*ed in the outer road
of Brest harbour several days before, but it
was not possible to observe the exaft number
that put to sea. Lord Bridport also writes
that, a< the enemy had steered to the south
ward, he had dispatched a fwift failing ves
sel to apprize admiral earl St Vincent of
thf fa& ; he bad direfted several frigates to
pursue the course they had taken, appointing
a rendezous to which they should repair, or
to which they fliould fend information, and
he himfelf had set fail to the coast ef Ire
land. He was between ten and twelve hours
after the French fleet, but equipped as he
is .with 16 ships of the lire, five of which
are three deckers, fully manned, and with a
body of officers, £ucb as the enemy cannot
equal, it is to be hoped that he will inter
cept them before they can effeft a landing
on any fart of Ireland, if that kingdom be
the point of their deftinstion.

One thing is certain: miniflry were so

On the 4th inft. advice was received here,

itnfuccefsful attacks of the 26th and 30th Of
March, hadcolle&ed his whole force between
the Acige and the T.inaro, St was fevendivi

to wait for his attack, but to be beforehand
with the enemy. With this viaw he drew
together the greater part of his army, in
the night between the 4th and sth, in the vi
cinity of Verona, and at the break of day
marched against the enemy in three columns.
He found him, in an advantageous position
between fomc marftiy rich fields toward;
Rombo—in order to dislodge him from which,
he made a feirned retreat about ten in the
morning, which perfr&ly succeeded, the*en

among whom were 160 officers. They left
above 4,000 killed and wounded on the field

LATEST FROM FRANCE.
§Cr° By the fliip mentioned in the preced
ing we have received Paris papers
to the 27th of April, from which, though
the ferics I* irrap ular, and intcnrapted by
the absence of Vcveral intcnueai;te num

New-York Gazette, several articles of in

to give the Treaty of Defenfive Alliance
•between the Porte and Russia—Also, th\
aft of reconciliation between the Port?
and PalTwan Oglou, to-morrow ; with
such other details as may seem worthy of
public notice.
We find nothing refpefting-the situation of
Affairs in Italy, and but few articles that
reflect any light on the movements of the
hostile armies generally. Indeed, from
'the gloomy afpeft of the papers, we are in
duced to fufpe£t that the political horifon
,is confiderabiy overcast ; and that the
journalists think, the less that is said of
their affairs the better.
The day captain Kooter failed, he was in
formed by the captain of an Eughfh schoo

of being the caute of the defeat cf the Auf

of Anflemburg-—He had detained an eftafette

this delay, the Post-master act used his clerk,
and -the clerk retorted it on the matter.
