Gen. Clairfayt wrote to Capt. Ro
binson, of the Brilliant frigate, off Of
tend ; and also to Gen. 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.

OSTEND, May S : i
The Bth regiment of light horse, '
commanded by Colonel Lafcelles, lately
dtfembarked ?t this place, is composed 1
entirely of Iriffi and f» very desirous *
are they to be in action, and take pri- c
fmers, that when their panics are 011 the '
look out, they take Hanoverians, Hef- 1
fians, and every person they meet who t
cannot speak Fiiglidi. 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.

Phat Clitfumette was an accomplice
with the other conlpiratirs, is proved
irorti his conduct in the eiferafe of his
liffici of attO: rivy for the commune of
Paris, from his to b 1 avc and
difavovv the authority and the laws of
the National Convention ; from his e-
Teiting himfelf, by the mo ft criminal
and audacious usurpation, into a legis
lature, by ftlftigatiug, by his requisiti
onS', 'ordinances hofule to liberty, tlie
tibjif£t of which was to annihilate the
laws to which they were contrary. But
his being an Accomplice u ft ill further
proved by his exertion, with Clo'ots, ■
Gobel, Hebert and their partisans, to -
efface all idea of tile Deity, and Found ■
the French government on Atheism, -
thereby to fubjeit the public mind, in
order to give fo'lnepTaulibility to the in
famous calumnies of the despots com
bined against the French nation.
It is proved to demonstration that
the conduit of Chaumette and his ac- j
complices V;as one of the mod effectual
means ps executing that plan (if confpi
rcicy which has ju(t been detected and
defeated. The design of Chaumette
and Gobel was, with Rdiifiii Cilomwel,
to destroy all iJnd-. of morality, to ob
literate every principle of virtue, and to
persuade neigli'ootiilg nations that the {
French people were arrival at the last ,
flage of diffoliitenefs and depravity ; j
even to the exploding of the very idea J
of the supreme being, nmWr whose au
spices they hnd proclamed the indefeali- '
ble Rights of man, and the Natural li
berty of all kinds of divine Vvorfhip.
It was in those orgies, in thole ban
quets at a hundred ecus a head, which
did not break up till iate at night, that x
those liberiicide measures were concerted
which Chaumette, extended even to : c
the department of - NieVie, where a po- |
pular society, thrioitgii his inffigatiori', i '
prefiiffled to disavow k he national autho- ! c
rity, and toTet it at defiance in refiifing i J
to obey the law on the libeity of wbr- .
ship. Ihe gold.of Pitt requited the t
base treafor. of Chaumette ; according- c
ly he wrote to his father, in feiltfiiig '
him 30,000 livres, to purchase neither a
I the national domains nor the property .
of the Emigrants, because, laid he, j
matters will nut !ong eontinuc in their ;
