LATE
iroreign intelligence.
Norvolk, July 30.
To the polite attention of eapt. Todd, of the
Schr. Maria, arrived here in 14 days from
Martinique, we are indebtedfor the follow
ing, which we extras f om London papers
brought by the June Packet to that IJland.
LONDON, Jo rce 7.
Paris papers to the '1 ft of June, inclusive,
have been received in town. They contain
two from General Maffena to the
Trench bireftory, dated the 24th and 25th
ult. by the Srft of which it appears, " that
the Auftrians were vepulfed in an attempt
to cross the Rhine with a very final! body of
troops, on the 23d ult. near Coblentz (in
the canton ef Zurich) with the
l''fs ot 300 prifoneas, and several diowned
in attempting to repafs the Rhine."—ln the
fecortd letter general Mafcna states, •' that
the Auftrians having colle&ed a great foice
on the banks of the Thur (he does not state
how all the country between the Rhine and
the Thur came into- the pofleffiort of the
Auftriaus, and where they now remain) he
had thought it neceflary to attack them, and
had-driven them back to the right bank of
that river. In thisaftion the Auftrians are
said -to have loft 3,500 priloners, amongst
whom are col. De Barco and capt. Prince of
MohenToe, betides one standard, 2 pieces of
cannon, and 2000 killed and wounded—
The French had 400 killed and wounded."
It will be seen by a mefTage delivered yes
terday evening from his majesty to the House
of Commons, that the article inserted in this
paper many weeks since, refpecling a body
e.f 45, cOO Ruffians being taken into Britilh
par, is confirmed. A large body of Swiss
immigrants is alio to be enlisted into the pay
of Great Britain, and fucli succours afforded
to the friends of the aicient government of
the Swiss Cantons, as may be found neceflary
to be applied to that falutan. purpose. A
gentleman, high in the diplomatic line, and
who left town ye/lerday, h supposed to have
the charge of this very important measure.
Yefterdav afternoon Mr. Wickham one
»ef his majefly's under Secretaries of State,
left town on h?s way to Switzerland, where
he formerly resided in a public capacity. His
office is not to be vacated.
It is mc.ve than probable that the Senate
ps Hamburg will deliver up Napper Tandy,
as the.Einpercr of Ruifia has so urgently in
fixed 011 it.
Lord Duncan arrived at Yarmouth on
Monday, and hoisted his flag the following

Letter from Massena commander in chief,
to the Executive L'irectory.
" head-Quarters at Zurich, May 24.
" Citizen Dire&ors,
" In the night between the 21ft and 22d,
the enemy, with considerable force, crofled
the left bank of the Rhine,between Cohlentz
and Kailerltu'.l.—'To cover -this movement,
they had the evening before vigorously at
tacked my portions from Aldenfingen to
Vill. Their objeft was to make me fend
forces thither, and to leave the line of the
Rhine unguarded. In the night I was in
formed of this circumstance. Our firftpoftt
had been beaten back, and I made dispositions
to attack them in the morning.
" General Thurrau was ordered to attack
the enemy in front on the points of Cohlentz
and Zurich. I advanced to their flank on
the fide of Eglifan and Kaiferftul. At to
o'clock in the morning the a£lion began.
The enemy at firfl refilled, but soon began
to think of retreating. A body of Hulans,
who covered their retreat, were attacked by
our cavalry. We took 309 horses, and 500
prisoners, among whom are five officer'.
This movement of the enemy was bold ;
their objeft was to cut off" the communica
tion with Zurich, but they were obliged to
repafs the Rhine with precipitation, and they
were pursued with so much vigour, that they
had not time toeftablifh a bridge, *nd many
of their men were drowned in the river.

Litter from Massena, Commander in Chief
to the Executive Directory.
" Zurich, May iG.
'• Citizens Directors,
<( The recent movements of the Enemy,
ard tlie information I had received of their
alYembling troops on the Left Bank of the
Thur, announced their intention of attack
ing me. In ordfcr to conteratt their mea
sures, 1 ordered a general attack upon their
line, in order to drive it beyond the river.
—For that purpose I went on the 26th to
Winthurer with my Staff. I ordered Gen
eral Oudinot, who commanded the advanced
guar!, to march to Faueiifild, while Gene
ral Paillard was to attsck the left of the en
emy on Andelfingen, and gen. Nev, their
certre, at Adlikon. General Soult was or
dered with his division to support these at
tacks. ,
" At day break the advanced pods of the
Enemy was attacked ai:d the affair ,ioon be
came general. Our troops difplsyed the
greatell intrepidity. The Enemy, on their
part, matte a long and vigorous refinance,
byt were ultimately defeated, and obliged to
retreat with precipitation, though thiy had
a more numerous Cavalry than we bad, which
covered them, Gen. Paillard, having rcpui
led the enerfly, made 500 prisoners, and
geneial Ney made 200.—The column which
he pyrfned owed its Wety to the celerity of
its retreat. Gen. Oudinot met with the
grcatcil rcfiftance, and our troops repulsed ;
but yen. Soult having arrived with 2
fqur.drcns of the 13th Dragoons and 23d
~ 1
half brigade, turned the advantage in our fa
vour. '] hefe two Generals made lfloo pri
soners, and 2 pieces of cannon. Tlift atti
on lasted in this part till within one hour of
night.
" The result of this a£lion is, that the
enemy have quitted the left bank of the Thur,
and that we have taken i standard, 2 pieces
of cannon, and 250oprifoners, among whom
is col. Debarco, Prince Hohenlo, and the
Major of the regiment of Secklers. At the
commencement of the aftion, the hussars of
that corps asked our troops whether they
would give quarrer (recollefting the aflafli
nation of the Plenipotentiaries.) Our brave
foldies called out, " Defend yourselves.''
In fadt they did defend themfclves with vi
gour, but a great slaughter wss made of
them. Thus the puniftiment of a moil in
famous crime has commenced.
" Gen. Chabreau, who commanded the
second division, obtained some advantages
over the enemy, and made feme prisoners.
The Helvetic legion, and some battalions
of Swiss who were engaged, behaved with
courage. Adjt. general Wither, who com
manded them; was killed ; he is generally
regretted. Our Generals, officeis and sol
diers, behaved in a manner worthy of them
selves ; and nothing but their great exerti
ons could have decided this contefl so fjjeeefs
fully for us, and so fatally for the enemy.
Our loss, including tbff may
amount to 400 men, and that of the'enemy
to v>oo men, exclufiveljr of 2500
ers.

attack in person, which began at da; oreak.
" The efforts and obstinacy of th* enemy
wf« beyond all expreflion, and our defence
was equally so. Night did not put an end
to the a£lion, which was continued till'ten
o'clock. I advanced to the Glat for the pur.
pose of concentrating my force more towards
Zurick.
" We made 800 of the enemy prisoners
in the aftion os-yesterday, and a great num.

The capture of Milan and ofFevara, will
reinforce the Imperial array with some thou
sand soldiers, AStile the loss of the latter
place will deprive Macdonald, and the Cisal
pine, Roman, and Neapolitan Patriots, of
the only point from which thty could receive
fupport—lt renders the return of all the
Southern parts of Italy to the ancient order
of thing's next to certain. It appears, in
deed, that the communication had already
been opened on the beginning ot lafV month
between Verona, Rome and Naples—The
capture ot Cafal and of Ceva was not less
favorable to the future operations of the im
pdriahfts, for it gives them two important
■pjints ; unp on -the left, and the ether on
the right flank of the French army ; and
these circumstances alone may have been
fufticient to. fores Moreau to return to Coni.
The pofiiion of Moreau oe no
longer tenable, and his retreat is exposed
upon every fide. Private letters mention
that Geji. Suwarow, unwilling to ejepofc
his army itt {terming the French camp,
which is fortified both by art and nature,
had marched to the northward of Alexandria
to turn its flanks. It is add;d that the im
mediate object of the Auftriani, is to pre
vent general Lecourbe, wbo has been beaten
out of the Engadine, from Joining Moreau,
and there seems little reason to doubt of their
success in it. J
On the night of the Tjth the French made
an attempt, by sally from Alexandria, to dis
lodge the right wing- of the aHies from the-
Tanaro,along the banks of which it was port
ed, This design fucceed,in spite of a
momentary luccefs. The-Ruffians repulsed
them after they had driven m the Auftriahs
advanced pods who resumed their position.
The state of jhe French in Switzerland is
not it ft critical than in Piedmont. The
victories of general Maflena have not given
him any geographical advantages, but on
the contrary have ended in his advancing (as
he calls his retreHt) behind Zurich, where
his forces are concentrating. His army is
fated to amount to 50,000 men.

" Yesterday arrived the Queen and ano

They had captured the Dutchman en the

fend the crew from the English cutter on
board the English friga'ein the fame road,
the following occurrence took place : Very
improvideitly, the prisoners were sent in a
boat belonging to Elfineur, without any of
ficer on guard over them. The Dutch not
expe&ing the best treatment on board the
English frigate, took the fleering of the boat
from the fkippeis, and rowed off. The
Ergliih however, perceiving they were tak
irg flight, immediately gave chace to the
Dutchmen, and fired with (hot upon them,
and also on the shore near Elfineur, whither
the flying crew had retreated. The Eng
