We fliail remain iu that pait on the defenfive, at Featl, until the ar rival of Championet, whe will bring with him a reinforcement of jSiCoo men to join hiii, from his army of the Alps. The niiniller of war has particularly en joined th-* commander in chef of the army of England to keep a "igilest eye upon the department of the M.<riiie and Loire. He at the fame time inftiuded him to form a column of two or three thousand men, with g train of light art ilery, to b ready to aft is occasion may require—to keep that body of men in continual ailivity, and to dire& it agpintt every point where the brigands'may at'empt to afT<mble, in order to crulh them effe&.;ally.

To the Minifltr of Wat. , " The enemy's loss at Novi exceeded ours.-—lt was upwards of 8000. Thus af ter 14 hours oiiftiiia'e fighting, the French avmy would have remained matters of the field,'if the minds of the officers and lol diers had been afle&td by the loss of their brave comma' der. " The fuceefses obtafned by gen. Kle nau. have raised the courage of our tioopj , and the greatest part of them now desire to *ngage the Ruffians, whom they have had an opportunity < f knowing and conquering during the w hol£ of the battle of Novi. [Signed,] SUCHET." [Countersigned.] BERNADOTTE. Head Quart, rs at Cornegliano, August 24. " Since the unfortunate day of the 15th Augtift, the enemy, to our great aftonfli jnent have made 110 preparations to follow U6; and we have resumed our politico# in ""the rpountains of Liguria. The citadel of Tcrtona-, having loft hopes of succour, ca pitulated yefteuiay. The enemy left but 3 very few tro■ ps between Aleflandria and Tortona. They inarched with the main body towards Alii, which (hewed their de t'gn to Coni, tlie only strong place of which we are ip pofitffi h in Piedmont. They have also detached a corps of 20,000 men against gen. Grenier, who hxs come down with part of the army of the Alps, into the environs of Suza. " We cannot I*ng tpaintain ourselves in the prfition which we now occupy. In the firfl place, our army is not fufficiently nn m: reus, and rnti the rilk of being entirely cfellroycd ; on the other hand, the moun tains of Liguria are very barren, ard the cavalry and the artillery horses perilh daily, owing to bad food. The hay is very bad, and for three months pail oats have altoge titer failed us. Genoa can no loi ger afford us any assistance. The government of that place is alarmed at the approach of the Auf triane. One of the Direflory has attemp ted to take flight ; ansther has given in his resign dtion. The workmen aixl failure aie all patriots, and will fee our departure with grief; but the merchants whose commerce has been on the decline for these four yearß past, are anxicufly desirous of the arrival of the Englilh, from whom they hope to ob tain a free tfide. Tbefc considerations are not those which are moll powerful. Our army is in want of ev?ry thing,-and the Treasury is empty. A lum of 300,000 livrts, which was on its way from France, and which was expefted with the greatest impatience, w.s lapped at Sarona by gen. St. Cyr, in order to discharge the pay of his arm-, which wan four months in arrears. This £en. was ccroptlled to this measure by the discontent which the 2d divisions which he cpmmacded have loudly teflified. The contra&ora who are not paid, and who ar« daily cheated by the biils whieh are given ihem on t)ie Treasury of Paris, will no lon ger do th<ir duty. £)rafts have lately been given ihem which have not been paid ; a id several soldiers have been obliged also to re ceive them, ft appears as if every lUing conspired againlt this army.'' The army of Italy still remains in the Ge noese territory, on the defentive- Champion et it moving towards it with 30,000 men. He. has provisioned Coni, and marched a dctachmsnt t9 Feneftrelles.

Private lett*rs mention the marching of the Ruffian and Mritilh troops, tur the neighbourhood of Alkrnaar, where the army is ftrong'ly entrenched. Alkmaar has been ; summoned, and will be aflaulted. Ihe Prince of Orange has 5000 Dutch volunteers with him. A tiottilla is ordered to bom j bard Amfterdani, while 900 volunteer sea men attack the Dutch forts. The Frencli threaten, and are making preparations for a general inundation of the country but the Dutch will oppose the meafare- Great numbers of Dutch troops join the Prince's flag. As soon as the Ruffian and other rein forcements arrive, the army pulhes torward. Three reinforcements reached the army or Mondly lall. September 19. The Archduke has quitted Switzerland with a Urge part of hit army, and marched to Donauefchengen, to oppose the French who have lately parted tin Rhine, into Su abia, in which, so lay Frankfort accounts, he lias been fuccefsful. General Hotze, commands the Aultrian army in Switxer land, to aft on the defenfive ; waiting the reinforcements which are marching, fram Jtaly, under General Kray. The most important article by the Ham burg mail, is, of the French having crossed the Rhine, into Suabia. An article from Ditfbarg mentions, that they have been completely defeated by the Aul\riants fix leagues fiom Heidelburg ; but by forcing the Archduke to march into Suabia, they expedt Maffena will succeed in obliging the Aultrians to avacuat<- Switzerland. Io the deflorate of Mcntz, the people have risen on masse and driven the Frei.ch back to Offenback, and threaten the city of Mentz, which as well at Caflcl, i* declar ed in a Itatc of siege. lii the palaee ot Tippoo Saib, in Serin ga patam, was found a treat; be concluded with the French, which is sent home by the governor general. In this is a Ilipul-i ---tion, that Tippoo divide with the enemy the English {hips that /hould be cap tured, and alio the different sea ports on the coalU of Malabar and Coromandel. September 20. On Tuesday evening his Majesty's sloop L'Elpeigle arrived in Yarmouth rords, with dil'patches from the Briulli army in Hoi. land. L'Elpeigle left the I'exel on Sunday last. H Eleven thousand troops, Britilh and Rullians, were to move forward on Mon- day from the Helder, to join the main ar- my, and 5000 more were preparing to diC embark. " The whale were in the bigheft health and ('pints. All the letters yet come to haud express the mod I'anguine hopes of Anifterdam being very speedily in our possession, if the French in their retreat, did not inundate the coun try, for which, by accounts received from the head-quarters of the Britill) arniv, it was apprehended they w.-re making prepa rations. It is natural to fjippcfe, however, that this is a measure which the great majority of the Dutch Mould rile up to oppose ; and it is a mtafure of alt others calculated to unite that people againd the common enemy of civilized fipciety ; for the- people of Hoi- land mall lie convinced, that by adopting so desperate a measure as that ct' a general inundation, the French did not consider not only the future welfare, but the present exigence cf a great proportion of the ihha -1 bitantf ot Holland. We know nothing more calculated to open the eyes of what the French call the Batavian people, than this measure of de- ftruttion, which they meditated against them. The idea of such a saeafure being in contemplation, however, was accelera ting the landing and march of our troops, for it was conceived possible that we might prels upon the French so fa ft, that they might not he able to accrirplifi) their mur dercu-s and diabolical designs.- The juno frigate, commanded by Captai.i Dufidas, bad been lightened, for the purpose of her failing up as near *s poffifcle to Am- Iterdam, and (he was to be accompanied by all the gun and other veflels of force that could be adapted to the navigation of the Znyder Zee. Vice Admiral Mitchell, whole judgment and spirit are equal t,o every emer gency, was buiifelf to command this arisa rnent, with his flag displayed on board the Juno. By accounts daily received by those whsi be Hereditary Prince of Orange, there is very reason to i'uppofe that the main body if the Du'.ch troops at Amfierdam and Rot terdam will, at the approach of the combin ed force, join the Orange flag. • Our, army had qinet 111 their polition till, Sunday morn ng" the reinforcements reached them, which would be on Monday lift, they were expett ed to advance.
