PHILADELPHIA, ERIDAY EVENING, JULV s- From the Whitehall Evening P'Ji, of April z 7. ABRIDGEMENT or THE STATE OF POLITICS FOR THIS WEEK. Scarcely a week now pafll-s without swel ling the number of the victories atchieved by our Allies, nor does there even ela-jf: ;a day that is not signalized by some disaster or de feat luftained by the comtnon enemy. For tune, tnat has hitherto seconded their enter prizes with Juch unaccountable partiality, begins at length to turn from them with the disgust they (liou'J inspire, and to exhibit, in the humiiiaiirti of their insolent triumphs and preiuniptuous pride, a dreadful example of her < haracterillic veifutility which delights, as tfye Poet tell us, Superbos Virtere funeribtis triumphos. And indeed, if we but examine the long and various line upon which the hostile ar mies cany,,on their operations, there will icarcely be fc.und a point in which either their plans have not been disconcerted, their pro jects anticipated, and their attacks repelled. From their positions in GERMANY tlu*y flill continue to retreat, though they new cease to be so clolily prefftd by their viiflotiiaus pursuers. In the neighbourhood of K: 1.1 they betray some intentions - of ma king a P.nnd, and for that purpose are collect ing a considerable force. Butths Auftrians appear equally refoltvd, on their part, to ex pel the entmy from that fortrefs, which they are row preparing to besiege with an army of 30,000 men. As for the mock negocia . tion that was carried on at Raftadt, it has at length been dissolved, and the Plenipo tentiaries of the different Powers that enga ged in it are returning to their refpe&ive Covrts. Every hone of Peace is therefore complete]* vinilbed ! A short paufo and tran sient respite "ems indeed to fdfpend hostili ties in iome points upon the Rhine ; but the gallant Archduke Charles is taking every meaiure to pursue the progress of the War in SWITZERLAND, where he intends to condudl the military ope rations in perion. The Auflrian main army already extends in front of that country from the frontiers of the Grifon country to Basle, and t'c-upy alinolt the whole of the Cantons of Zurich, Schaffhaufen, and Basle. They would ere now have pa (Ted the Rhine, had not the enemy, in order to retard their progress, cut down all the bridges over which the Auftrians intended to have patted. Ge neral Hotje is to co-operate with the Arch duke, ana from this well-concerted and com. Kintd attack upon the French positions eve ?y fucccfs may reasonably be expected, espe cially when we take into account the dispo sition of the inhabitants, all of whose hearts {till rankle with a rancorous recollection of the many insults and injuries heaped upon them by the French, and which, by aflifting the Autlrians they will have fair occasion to retal iate and avenge. Nor is i> in Switzerland only that the Republican cause appears to be desperate ; in ITALY itis oppofedby forces equally formidable,which by d;iily receiving additional strength, must soon en lure a decided superiority to the alli ed powers. Since the battle of the 3d inft. which was fought near Legnano, and in which the enemy are said to have loft from 8 to 12,000 men, together whole of their artillery and ammunition, the Auf trians have received a frefh reinforcement of 13,000; to thefc may be added the 23,000 P.yUian auxiliaries, whose arrival on the 7th must be so opportune and so powerful as to enable the Austrian General to follow up with fucce'f; the important advantages which they had gained in the battle of the sth. In deed the Einpcrcr of RUSSIA begins to take a moll aftive part, and will no doubt obtain a preponderating influence A •wherever they mayfallin with them.
