SIR,
In purfiiance of your orders, 1 pro
ceeded with the Arethufa, Melampus,
la Nymphe, and Concorde, to cruize 011
the coast of France; and on the 23d
inft, from variable winds Tieing to the
vveftward of Guernsey, Rock Dover
bearing E. by S. four or five leagues,
the Seven Islands S. S. W. four or five
leagues, Guernsey N. E. half E. seven
or eight leagu -s, I difcoveied at four in
the morning four fail, Handing oyt to
sea, upon the larboard ta'ck, the wind
S. S. W. and, as the morning began to
break, I saw from their manoeuvres and
firing of guns they were some of the
enemy's ships of war. They soon after
, wards appeared in a line of battle on
the larboard tack, and as our ships,
from having chafed, were not collected,
I made the signal to form in succession.
We crofted each other on contrary tacks,
and the (jnemy began the adtion a con
siderable dillance ; their flernmoft ship
having pasted over, they again tacked ;
but the wind changing two points in
our favor, I perceived it was possible to
weather them, and therefore made sig
nal for the ships to engage as they came
up, so as to prevent the enemy gaining
their own shore, and to oblige them to
come to a close action ; 1 am happy to
fay we succeeded in this object.
The engagement lafled nearly three
hours when two of the ships ft ruck : I
then made signal for those who were
coming up to pursue and engage the
enemy, as from the fltuation of this ship,
having led the line into h£lion, (lie was
incapable of continuing the pursuit.
I am much indebted to fir Edward
Pellew, in the Arethufa, who was my
second astern, and to the officers and
ships under my command, who exerted
themselves in engaging and pursuing
the enemy.
I have since been informed that ano
ther of the enemy's ships struck to the
Concorde, fir Richaid Strachan, in the
evening; but, as that ship and the
Nymphe have not yet joined me, I can
, not ytt make any return of their slate
and condition.
The French squadron tonlifled of
1 Lngageante, 36 guns, 18 pounders,
300 men, mosfieur Defgarceaux Chef

guns, 18 pounders, 320 men ;la Babet, 1
guns, 9 pounders, 200 men. They 1
fuled from Concalle Bay the evening t
before we met them.
I owe every obligation and acknovv- '

this ship, for their zeal and exertions, <
upon this and every former occasion, in :
the service of their king and country,
i and trust you will recommend them to

Letter from General yourdain,
Ari-On, 29th Germinal, 18th April.
Arlon is in the possession of the Re
public. Iwo days of matching and
fighting have been fufficient to drive
away the enemy, amounting to 1 ?,oob
infantry, and 3000 cavalry, though
their formidable potition and numerous
artillery appeared to set our bayonets
at defiance. All obstacles have been
overcome. The enemy perceiving the
difpolitions we had'taken and the bold
ness with which we charged them, had
recourse to a speedy retreat We loft
no time to pursue—Our light troops,
both horse and foot, and our brave light
artillery, fell upon their rear, and made
thefti retreat falser than they were dis
posed. They compelled them to aban
don three carriages, and several hories.
1 cannot give too high eulogiums to all
the advanced guMd,, and particularly
the intrepid cannoneers on horse-back,
commanded by Adjutant General De
pelle. We have loft very few nor was
the loss of the enemy confideiable, in i
confequenceof their speedy retreat. We
took some pn loners. General Hatry
commands the body of the army, who
to-day take a refpedtable pdfition before
Arlon. I will give hifn orders and in
ftruftions ro prevent any from palling '
betweeen the territory of Luxembourg, j
and thart of Namur j in a word to cut
off all communication between these
two Dutchies.

The. Archduke Joseph of Austria
behaved so gallantly in the field of bat
tle before Landrecv, that the Emperor,
his brother, raised him immediately to
the rank of a Major-General.
On Sunday morning a hearse with
two mourning coaches arrived at Shoo
ter's Hill from Dover 5 the hearse was
said to contain the body of a British offi
cer killed in Flanders. Whether Mr.
Undertaker had preached or not, is un
certain, but Mr. Tankard soon made
his appearance, and infilled on opening
the coffin, where, instead of a pqlc
corpse, ke found a very considerable
quantity of smuggled lace, &c. The
hearse and liorfcß were immediately sei
zed ; the coaches were not, as nothing
was found in therii but Mourners.

SWEDISH CONSPIRACY.
Count Gyldenftople the late governor
of the young king of Sweden, who is
implicated in the late conspiracy, has
been examined by the duke regent him
felf ; the young king on that occasion,
withdrew from the court tiibunal, at
which he usually attended, to hear the
examination of the reft of the confpiia
torsi This the young monarch did
through regard for his former governor.
The duke regent reproached the latter
with betraying the confidence with
which he-had been honored by two suc
ceeding monarchy who had raised him
almollto the hightft pitch of honor and
rank ; at the fame time ordering the
letters to be read, which that count had
written to the conspirator D'AiVnfeldt.
The, count at firft, attempted to deny
his hand writing, and endeavored to de
clare the letters to be forged. But on
the representation of the duke, that his
hand writing could easily be proved, the
prisoner excused himfelf by faying, that
he wrote to count D'Avmfeldt, senti
ments which he wtft far from entertain
ing ; that he did it only to preserve the
friendihip of that minister, during his
absence ; and that he thought, on his
return .to Stockholm, he would easily
persuade him of the wickedness of his
political opinions. The duke regent
contented himfelf with representing to
htm, the criminality of his conduct ;
and told him, that at the intercefiion of
the young monarch, he was only dismis
sed from his fundlions near the person
of the sovereign ; to depart from ,the
capital withinihree days time ; and not
to make his appearance in any refpe&a
ble circle. v

here yefterdayfrom St. Bartholomew's,
which place he left the 12th inft. He
brings the account of the Re-capture of
Point-Petre, in Guadaloupe, by the
French. The gentleman who gave him
I this information, said that the French
I appeared off Point-Petre with nine fail
of men of war, whojfent a boat 'on (hore,
which was detained by the Englilh ; in
consequence of which, the French ves
sels bore down as near to land as possi
ble, landed i 200 jnen, and stormed the
fort, and, after being repulsed several
times, carried it. It was also reported,
that by means of some people who had
made their escape, Admiral Jervis was
made acquainted With the above intelli
gence, who immediately colle&ed part
of his naval force, repaired to Point-
Petre, and blockaded it.

VIENNA, April i 2.
Baron d' Armfeldt, ambassador from
Sweden to the Court of Naples, accused
of being a principal concerned in the late
discovered confpiraey, and who lately fled
from Naples, came to Flume tinder a
feigned name, and desired a paflport to
travel through the Imperial territory'; but
as from some circumllances he was looked
upon as a suspicious person, the whole
affair was brought to this capital, and the
Baron being known soon after his arrival
here, he was arretted.
WARSAW, April 22.
Extrafl of a letter from the Banks of the
Vijlula, April 23.
" The revolution in Poland is at the
highest pitch. The patriots have con
stituted themselves into a revolutionary
body. They are matters of Warsaw,
and all the Polish artillery contained in
the arsenal of that capital. The king
i& in their hands, as also the Pruflian
ambassador, Mr. VOll Bochholtz, and
Von Afch, the Ruffian resident.
MONS, May 2.
Old Catherine laughs at the folly
credulity of the allies, in fuppolling
that she would aid them in the war.
She has involved them in it, and so far
her politics have succeeded in weakening
the emperor and the King of Pruflia.
LONDON, May 8.
Tile Ling of Sardinia is iiO'Y entire
ly cut off from any assistance or direct
communication with the island in the
Meditenanean from whence he derives
his regal title, nor has he a sea-port in
Italy from whence the Piedomontefe
lilks, law and ornamented, may be ex
ported, as not only Nice, but Oneglia,
are in the possession of the French.
His lituation is desperate, for the Re
publican army can have very few obsta
cles, to prevent their marching to tje
fiege Snfa, and even Turin, his capital.
Yesterday a council was held at Lord
Grenvil le's office,which was attended by
the cabinet ministers ; —Mi*. Stone was
lc-examined on a charge of cojifpiraey,
and at four o'clock reminded to prifoii.
The brave Polish General Kofciufko
fought with great reputation in Ameri
ca during the late war. Gen. Washing
ton entertained so high a friendship for
him, that he pressed him very much to
remain ill/that quarter.
In refpeft to the grand opeiations of
the allied armies,they are rapid and bril
liant. No sooner was Landrecy reduc
ed, than flie Austrian general Latour
marched to -ihveft Aveynes, while the
prince de Cobourg befi'egeS Catnbray.
Indeed, it is mentioned in a private let
ter from a very lefpe&able quarter, that
the gairifon of Aveynes has offered to
capitulate. <
A letter from Rouffelaer, dated May
2, lays, " I am happy to acquaint you,
that the Carmagnols began last night to
draw off all their advanced ports oft this
fide of Cotirtrai and Menin ; and that
all their movements Wrongly indicate an
intention to depart.
1 he action of MoiicVon was of much
more ferrous consequence than what has
hitherto been acknowledged. It is a
fact, "that in the contest, the number
killed and wounded, on the part of the
allies, amounted to upwards of ten
thousand. The struggle was honora
ble to the combatants ; and fix thousand
of General Clairfayt's troops were left
dead on the field.
Fiom what has transpired from the
last Dutch mail, it appears, that the
French evacuated Arlon and the-terri
tory of Luxembourg, in consequence
of an order from Paris, for the whole
of the Army of the Moselle to march
towards the Netherlands.
Accounts from Genoa state, that on
the 6th ult. the French passed through
Vintimiglia, and part of the territories
of that Republic, in order, to attack
Dolie Aqua, a fortrefs belonging to
the king of Sardinia, which they took.
Next day their columns advanced along
the sea coast, and rendered themselves
mafteis of Loano. One of the French
columns, however, which advanced in
order to attatk Saorgio, has been re
pulsed by the Sardinian troops, and o
bliged to retreat to Oneglia and Loano.
The affairs of Poland begin to wear
a bright profpedt, and the friends of
Liberty must rejoice in the success of
the Patriots. It will however prove a >
circumftanee rather unfavorable to the
Britilh ministry, as their faithful ally
the king of Pruflia, will find fufficient
tife for his troops with the Emperor in
Poland, and might therefore march to
the rightabout, and refund the forage
money which he has received, hereafter,
when this august monarch may find it
fuitabled to his convenience.
Accounts from Suza in Italy, men
tion the progress of the War in that
quarter. On the 7th bf April, 6000
French troops, in levsral columns, ad
vanced towards Mount Cenis, to attack
the port, of the Sardinians, called La
tneth; they advanced as far as the
Mountain which commands the Forts
of Tavernette and Ofpedale. General
Chini, with a body of Sardinians, im
mediately marched against them ; an
engagement ensued, and after much
refiitance, the French at last were forced
to retreat- The Commander of the
French has been killed in this engage
ment and buried with Military honours
at Braman. The French are stated
to have loft 300 men killed and wound
ed ; the allies one lieutenant, and two
privates killed, aud five wounded.
