foreign 3httell*seiue» Rrented at Betttn t, fit tbt arrival of tbe Afrom Hamburg. HAGUE, OSober 5 The tranqni i'y which continued for I 2 days, has at length Seen interrupted, on tbe 3d inft. by one of the most violent attacks, which the made on our left wing and centre. The batt'e la'tcd the whole day, and both parties fought with the greatest obstinacy. Night put a Hop to the carnage ; but on the 3d it was renewed with increased violence, till at last our left wing and centre were forced to give way to the enemy's fupenority. We were obliged to give up all our pofitiona before Alkmaar, and even that town to the enemy: Gen. Brunc'shead quarters were removed to Be verwyk. Our army was forced to take an other position t onr advanc d pods, how cv r, Ilitl occupy Bauum, Caftricam, and Limmer. During the adion the fine village of Koedyk, about a mil* and an half from Alkmaar, was burnt down. Some prifon cra have been conveyed to Haerlem and Amieidam ; at the former place about 40 er 50 vtffrla, with wounded, have arrived. Tl»e French gen. La Maifan, and the chief ofsrigadc Merrier. are amongst the latter. Yeftenhiy the President of the third Chambir informed the AfTembly, that no particulars of the a&ion of the id had been recrived, but Gen. Bmne's head quarteri had been removed to Bevcrwyk. The villages of Grnemuicien and Zwart fluis, we e alf > occupied by the Englilh sailors, who look pofftflion of them is the name of the Priacr of Orange, and hoisted the Orange flag ; but b ve b en dri ven from thence, and mostly made prisoners To provide the army as speedily and as cheap as pofiible with gr<at coats, our firft chamber has proposed that every Municipal officer, whose faiary exceeds two tboufand florin®, and every citizen who has more than two iervants, (hall furnilh a military great coat. From Allmaar, 03. J. I % at noon. Yesterday morning between fix and seven o'clock, the enemy Vude ore of the moll violent attacks upon our It-fr wing and centre. Our troops dtftnded th-mfelvcs bravely, but were at length forced to give way to the enemy's fsperiority, but not be fore the* had done great mifchief to them. The enemy stormed onr positions several times, but were repulsed i't each attack.— The fire was dreadful on both fides and fevera! ; ■ ufn were burnt down. The en emy advanced agairi.il our left w ng as far a> Bergen ; the mod furious eir-flift rnfued, and tnty were driven back with the lsfs of some prifarers. Our left vu'ng and Centre advanred again, and the artillery k<pt up »n uninterrupted fire, with the bed success. Night terminated the bloody conflifl, or rather afforded an opportunity to recover ftreng'h to renew the battle by the dawn of day. It afiually re commenced on the morning of the 3d, at day baeak : botb par ties foug lit with unexampled fury, and ev ery inch of ground was eontefted. The en emy itqewcd the attack, at different times, with frefb troops, and viftory remained d übiful, till at length our troops beqjrae Mhanfted witk fatigue, and began their re treat, which »as genenl, and was effefted fuhling, and >ii the greatest order. All «ur majaziues, hospitals. baggage, infantry and cavalry, retreated through Alkmaar to Beverwyk ; and the army will take a new pofitlon, which can be defended belter Several villages are seen in flames, which leem to rage moft'yat St. Pancras and Lon gondyk. The enemy has bought his vic tory yery dear j and however great our loss may be, his can hardly be less, our ar til'ery, which was well supplied, having made great bavoc among them. Exlraß of a Utter frtm Gen. Dtenieh. Head quarter!, Beverwyk. I have been constantly with the advanced pofte and had not time to write foonrr. Our pulls were attacked on the 2d, early in the morning ; the right wing maintained its position, but the centre and lalt wing fiiffered ftvert-Iy, and have retreated, which obliged my right wing to fall back also, for fe-ir of being cut off. The conflict was desperate, and the French have loft a great number of men.— The train and "or baggage are here—the re inforcements of the French adTioce—l hope for the bell. I have been on the batteries for a con ficlerable time, when a croud of balh whit tled around me, one of which pierced my hat, without any farther hurt. 1 am not yet able to communicate further particulars. Keep up your fpirita—We (hall conquer or die. Yesterday our Municipality received the following letter from the French General Marlot : " Citizen—l have thin moment received official intelligence from the Chief of the General Staff, that the head quarters of our army have been removed to Beverwyk» and that numerous reinforcements are ex pected, which will soon enable us to «& again on the offenfive. The pofitioo wjiich we now occupy is one of the most favor able- lam desired to alTure jr»u that the general in chief will do every thing for tne fafety of Amlterdam. On my part, I (hall -omit nothing to maintain the tranquility of this important city. You will take proper measures that nothing it lent from here to North Holland, and that no v«iT«li fail for that quarter, excepting to the placet occu pied by g-° • -Daendali.- Furmerant, Moykendam, and Edam. (Signed) MARLOT." Our army continues to receive reinforce ments, and more are still expefted. Tbcce thousand French troops marched yesterday through Hurler*,for the array* Bodies of arm edeitiiers are joining it daily,asd when all Dull have arrived, we hope that Fortune, "which deserted us in the last battle, will favor us again. AMSTERDAM, «ttober > We ar» expr&ing with the utmoO anxiety Intelligence from FrieSand. the whole of which province {eems to be threatened by the enemy. The town of Lemmer, whsfe har bor is of such importance for our inland trade, is said to have furrewlen ii after hav ing fuffcred some time a heavy rannonadc trom the Englilh gun boats—lf the enemy once get a footing in Friefland, where there are no fufficient means of defence against a formidable force, the cons luences mud be fatal, as we are but too well acquainted with the deftru&ive fyftcin of tb« Englifti . . . HOORN, September 29 Tiiey write from Alkmaar that the inun dation of the Heer-Huijo Waard iseffe&ed, so that a diftritt of four thousand acres of land is under water. UTRECHT, O-Spber 1. The day before yesterday t(ic Ruffian Ge - neral Hermann with his two aides- '--ca-np and fervams, arrived heir, and yesterday morning th-y let off, under an escort, for Paris. BREGENZ, September 17. " On the 13d, in the troi-ninp-, General Hotze was informed, that the French had crofled the Lirith j but as he did itot fear a serious attack, nor conceived the danpjer to be so great as it itmv was, he mounted his horse, accompanied b} some 'nuff.trs, Col. Plnnket, the LieuuCol. of the hu liars of the frontiers, and some AdjatsliSj, « iix in the' morning, and proceeded to the advanced pifl between Schaiinis and Kaltenbruun Jo K-- eonnoitre. 'Suddenly tliey saw themfelvr-s surrounded by the enemy, who fin d upon them small arms. A Corporal, who was present, and whowa« so fbrtunate to cnt h's wav through, ftvs. that he had seen Gene ra! Horae fall from h i horse, and that he was found dead in a ditch the day fi>llow*njr ; that Col. Plnnket, and the C*'T.'of tTir fron tier huflars, had also been killed. The ene my afterwards made a violent attack, carried the bridge at Gnmf.it, where tbev took pb!}.' At nine o'clock, Lt r - battalions of Ruffians, under .the. command of the Prince ps Wirt-' emberp, arrived from Rapperfehvyl. who (Vormed the bridve frurn Grunau toUlznoch, without firm? a (hot. But the enemy, 're inforced bv freflt troops, renewed, the att»ck, and forced the Ruffians, heavy (frapc fhot fire, to quit that.post again, on vfhieh orcafion, befidis the privates, a Col. a Lieut. Col. and 12 officers were killrd, and a Ruf fian General wouuiied. Should no. succors arrive from Zurich, General Hofze's column will be forced to retreat to the Rhine. " Afternoon.—The unfortunat; death of General Hotse. seems. actually to have bean followed by a general retreat. Fieldmarfhal- Lieut. d- Gruber is arrived lyre this mo nient with the war-chancrlry and treasury. The militia, iti Vorariberg has been order ed to assemble, and to march immediately, U, occupy the frontiers on the Rhine. " Six in the evening.—The Ruffians have also been defeated near Zurich, and forced to retreat. Zurich is again occupied by the French. This afternoon the head quarters of our troops were_ Hill at Si. Gall, and the troops at the diflanee ofa mils.and a half. As they are not in fufficitnt force, it is feared they will be obliged ta retreat across the Rhine. FEt.DKIRCH, September 26. " On the 23d Fieldmarflul Suwarrow commenced his operations agaiuft Switzer land, from the fide cf Italy : he has taken polTeflion of Airola, aiid on the following Jay he carried mount St. Gsthard. Gen. Rofenberg is advancing through the valley ol Lfvin, ag.iinft the Grifon country, to (•'iflod-e the enemy from their polition at Urferen, while Gen. Auffenberg is advanc ing through the valley of Maderan, to jnin the other columns, and Gen. Jellaehich will attack the enemy near Milleliori), to take polTeflion of the canton of Glarus. Accounts received to-day, Hate, tliat the Ruffian Gen. Rolenberg, with his Corps, has aAually readied the frnrnieis of the Grifon Country, and mnde already 500 of the French ad vanced posts prisoners. Gen. Auffenberg has made himfelf master of the mountain called Kreuzberg, and thus surmounted the greatest obllacle. Gert. Jellaehich attacked and routed the entroy yefWday morning near Mcllthorn, and was already at fix in the morning mailer of Mollis. Fresh ac counts of the further proceedings of the unit ed. Auftro-Ruffians, are expefted every mo ment." From the above two letters it appsars, that both parties attacked at one time, after dif ferent plans, and in different points, and the attacks of both were crowned by vi&ory. But the importance of these fucccfles'can on ly be calculated from their confequenca. Should the French intend to follow up their victory, by advancing towards the Rhmtr and the lake of Conltancr, they will leave Gens. Suwarrow, Rofenberg, Auffenbeix, and Jellaclvch in their rear, and before thefs are defeated, they caiinot derive the expect ed advantages from their victory ; but the Ruffian and Autlrian generals just mention- j Ed willie arabled Jo fallow up their fuccclT- Cl much it pofiible, tljtir rear being perfeft ly l'ecttrrd, and irpMftot 'be tJcubUd, ;h*t they wiM fjion hn'ipoA'the advanced ene my"* rear;' TConfideriwf all these circum stances, Hie Gtuaiiori ot both armi«« i< ex tremely critical, and our ltttcri from the lake of Confttnce, may rtoft likely Je trrmine to «hose advantage*!"; crisis h.%j contributed.

Our left wing *nd a part of the centre was attacked at 7 o'clock in the morfiing, by the enemy's forces, which were double eurs. Our co lumns however maintained their portions ail day. The great superiority of the enemy allo#rd them to advance a great part of their army along the (hore, protected by the fire of their yeflels near D'Eginond ap zee. We remained in pjfieffion 01" this pofitisn and cf that of Bergen till night overtook us. This morning the Geueral in Chief, who fore (aw a new attach, thought not proper ta wait with fatigued troops,' a flrenger enemy. He, in onlequence, ordered a retreat, which wasr made in the greatest order.- The troops are this moment arrived in their new poli tipns, and there is iro attack to fear. The camp of Bcvcrwitk, which is very concentrated and favorable, will put us in a Date to attack as fo»n as our reinforce ments are arrivad. The division of general Daendels, which maintained itfeli' in its pofitiof) during the combat, made its retreat by PurmSrendo and MenuikenJani, from whence it covers Am fterdani, ?nd takes from us all inquietude for that Gde. T-he enemy must have fuffered extremely in the .engagement of ytlterday. Wt have made more ifltn one hundred prisoners, among which arc three officers.
