In his march front Oltrog, his rear guard was continually engaged with the enemy, by which the Ruffians 101 l 200 men, and otir troops about 40. Jui.y 13. We have received accounts here that the Polirh army under Prince Jo seph Poniatowfki, near Polonnoc, has fnffered a great loss from the l(uffians. On the 7th inlt. the Polish artny, consisting of 25,000 men, approached the Ruffians, whole numbers we have 110 accounts of. Prince Poniatowlki was just absent ; thus the army was ■without a head. The Ruffians no sooner appeared, but th« Polish Nati onal troops were immediately struck with a panic terror and put to flight. Two Polifl) Generals, either thro' inclination or fear, went over to the Ruffians. A reinforcement of 20,000 men for this army was 011 the march, and it is much apprehended they wilf meet with the Ruffians unprepared. The loss of our defeated army con sists of the whole field equipage, 49 guns, 227 bags of gunpowder, 1475 firelocks, 50,000 cartridges, 24,000 i~ack9 of flour, j,ooo sacks of oats, 2? cart loads of hay, 2800 pieces of cloth, 470 ammunition waggons, and the chest of war ; 1737 '"en were killed, 439 wounded, and 1247 taken prison ers. This affair cost the Ruffians no thing, iince the Polish army made no resistance. On the joth July the King and the whole corps de rcfer-je that was en camped in the adjacent diftridts, marched and fixed their camp in the ood of Prague (in Poland) on the oppofire banks of the Vistula. B RES LAW, July 21. The report of the defeatofthe Po lifli army commanded by Prince Po niatowfki, is not confirmed, and from the accounts which have been receiv ed, it feenis to be a falfe one, as they mention nothing neither" of the ab sence of Prince Poniatowfki the trea <oll of one or more of the generals, or the total defeat of the army. GLASGOW, July 28. The new gaol at Ipswich is divided into four pares ; one for debtors, a nother for convitfts, a third for felons, and a fourth for women. They have separate cells, and are provided with a comfortable dress at the expence of the county ; each tfas a bedstead, ilraw, mattrafs ftieet, blankets, and coverlid. From the ltrutflure of the building no gaol dittemper can possi bly arise, and every priloner on his entrance is obliged to strip and be bathed before he is apparelled with the cloathing of the house ; nor are strangers admitted to fee them. PARIS, August 3. The authenticity of the Duke of Brunfwick's declaration is no longer queftioij.ed ; but it has not produced the union which all rational men consider as ouronly means ofdefence. On the contrary, the two pat ties are as eager in reviling and calumniating each other, as if they had no common enemy. To their activity, hi this re fpe<ft, may, I presume, be attributed tjie idea of a letter which the Jaco bins affirm to have been written by the king to the duke of Brunfwick, inviting him to Paris, and which the f euillants aliert is a forgery by the Jacobins, intended to be produced at foine convenient opportunity, to de lude the people, and serve as a pre text for seizing the whole executive power into their own hands. It is our good fortune that these plots, if they have any foundation in truth are too much talked of to succeed. ' M. Robertl'pierre moved the Jaco bins that to save their country there ihould be a new national to be chosen by the primary Aflem blies, to exiit for one year, neither the Aflemblee Conrtituente, nor the present Afiembly, to be eligible to it, and this convention to have the whole power. " Another member proposed, that a Dirtaturate of twentv-one fliould fupercede both King and Allernbly, chnfe ministers, appoint generals.and' conduct the war. Such are the questions that now a gitate the public mind ; but 1 fee a probability in the present tumult, of order. The Jacobins fay, they have no more than 45 or 46 members in the National Alfembly, upon whom they can depend. All the relt are either intriguers or touched by 1110- derantifm ; be it so, we are likely at least to have a confirmed majority on one iide, and for the fake of experi ment, 1 care not 011 which lide ; for I desire them only to confront their foreign foes and poflpone for the term of war ac lcalt, all questions merely acceflary. " The National AfTembly to the Na tional Guards of Paris, and to their brothers in a'rins, the National Guards of the several Departments of the kingdom, come to Paris in order to repair to the camp at So i lions, or to join the armies 011 Che frontiers " Citizen' Soldiers, " The Representatives of the peo ple, whose lively solicitude watches unceasingly over all parts of the king- dom, think it their duty to inform you themf«lves of the dangers that threaten you. The enemies of the conllitution redouble their efforts to destroy your force by dividing it." It is in the name of that liberty which you adore ; it is in the name of the law, to which you have sworn to be faithful, lhat they have the audacity to sow so fatal diflentions aniongyou. Artfully perverting every circum stance, reviving every prejudice, in flaming every mind, they ftrive,from district to diftridt, from division to division, to lead you on to adtual crimes, and make you turn your arms against one another. They want to introduce among you anarchy and ci vil discord, those terrible precursors of defpotifin ; they wish to deliver you, without defence, to the po%vers leagued against your liberty, your independence, and your happiness. " Citizen soldiers, mark the prec; pice over which they wish you to fall. The representatives of the nation have shewn it to you ; they have 110 more fears on your account. Your patriotism, your fidelity, the interest of your country and your own, all allure them, that apprized of the per fidious plots against your fafety, no force will be able to vanquish you, because 110 fedutfiion will be able to disunite you." Proclamation by the King, for the *' O » maintenance of public tranquility. " The King cannot fee, withoi profound indignation, the arts of v olence by which the public tranquil ty for several days palt has been dii turbed in the Capital, individual li berty outraged, ihe fafety of person and property endangered. His Ma jefty would think hiiyfelf the accom plice of such excefles, if he fuffereti them in silence to be committed be fore his eyes, and the blood of French men to be sprinkled, to use a itrong expreifion, on the walls ofhis palace, on the gates of the National AHem bly.

He has already directed the minister of jus tice to denounce to his commissioner in the criminal tribunal, the crimes perpetrated yesterday.

On the motion of the military com mittee it was decreed, that every com mander of a fortified place, who (hall surrender before a practicable breach is made in it, or without fuilaining at least one allault, if there be an inte rior entrenchment, lhall be punilhed with death. That fortified places being the pro perty of the whole nation, in no cafe can the inhabitants or adminillrative bodies of fucli places require the com mander to surrender, on pain of be ing treated as rebels and traitors to their country. The following extraordinary cafe was referred by one of the criminal tribunals to the Afl'embly : " A woman, two months gone with child, had run some melted lead into her husband's ear, who instantly ex pired. The culprit made the moll ample conleflion, and excused herfelf by lifying, that ihe loved her hulband tenderly, but that she could not refill the inclination} of a w»man in her Jitu- ation " We have consulted the Faculty 011 this point, and they have unani mously declared, that the longings of a woman with child might be I'uch as to induce her to commit so horri ble a deed, without her own volition. " We requell the rtfl'embly to di re»si us how 10 proceed upon thisfub jec't. July 26.

The Auftrians and Pruflians have, it is laid, finally determined to form immediate arrangements for advanc ing to Paris, which they are resolved to capture on or before the 23d u? October next. The Declaration of the Duke of Brunfwick is said to be a compolition entirely his own, and contrary to the opinion of Prince Hohenlohe, the General of the Imperial troops. The Duke was perhaps afraid that he fliould not meet with opposition e nough in France to afford an oppor tunity for a full display of his mili tary lkill, and propofcd a declaration to provoke the whole nation to unite against him. The f übfeription towards the suc cour of the people of Poland is likely to be taken up ill away unprecedent ed in the history of England.
