Stewart, the governor, acquainting them that the French, to the number of 60,000 men, had attacked hijn in his position to co ver Odend, which was the objedi of the enemy ; that lie had repull'ed them se veral times before they made any impres sion : On the eighth attack they pene trated his lines, and forced him to re treat, with die lofsof about 23 pieces of cannon. Jlis Ipfs in men had not bee;, so great as Ue at Gen. Clairfayt adds, that he had only three brigades, (not 10,000 men) and that his defeat wis not of a nature to endanger Oitend ; that by Thursday lad his reinforcements would be all arrived; and that if moßlieur Pichegru did not piv him a second visit', he, Gen. Cla'ir fnyt, would march in search of him. Thirty waggons loaded with the plun < der of Courtrav, had been reu.ken from the enemy. NATIONAL CONVENTION, Aprii 23.

A Very laughable ' circumdance of this kind occurred vef- 1 terdav morning in the neighbourhood 1 of Odend : < A picquet belonging t6 the Itifh ,egi ment was in motion about fix rt.iles from the town, and the officer who ciim , ma'nded ordered one man to advance a bout a mile on the road, and to fire if Tie saw an enemy. The man fired ani returned to the j.icquct in full gallop, swearing mod vehemently that lie had discharged his piftojat 15,000 French men, who were advancing with the tit mod expedition to Oftend. Two . I lanoverians came up at this moment ■ who belonged to thk detachment ejn ployed to convoy three pieces of artil lery, taken that morning from the , French at Roufilliere. The Irilh im mediately took them prisoners. They expodulated, but could not make them selves underftelod. The Hibernians swore, that as they could not speak Englilh, they mud be French, and ao- , iblutely proceeded with thetfi to Oftend, , as prisoners of war.
