enemies o{ the French Republic appear to be
completely difcancerted in the object of the

the contrary, few or none flocked to their
standard i They were promised fuppiies of
provisions from France, and depending upon
them, they were for fomc time in a flarving
condition. The Pruffiau magazines have
been exhaufled, and provilions carried to the
invading armies proved so unwholfome, that
sickness anddifeafe were the consequences of
using them. Theft added to inceflant rains
for many weeks, were the immediate causes
of the retreat. The French army under the
command of Dumourier and KeHerman har
raiTed their rear and captured numbers of
their soldiers, and large quantities of baggage
and stores. The siege of Lille sfrid of Thion-
