MANHEIM, April 29.
Our letters from Alsace state, that a
* align ant putrid fever rage* iu that Pro
vince, winch does vast mifchief, inso
much that the hospitals are filled with
lick. At Strasbourg 1500 soldiers be
longing to the army of the Rhine, have
been lwept off; and 9 00 persons have
been buried within a fortnight in that
city. The roads our account adds, are
covered with waggons laden with sick,
and whole villages are deserted by the
inhabitants.
The priioners taken at Landrecy,
which have puifcd through this place, a
mount in all to 4400 men, young, well
cloathed and healthy. The Auftrians
tried to engage them to enter as volun
teers in the Imperial service ; and it is a
curious fa&, that Out of so many, not
withflanding the tempting offers that
were made them, and the eloquence ex
erted by the officers in trying to recruit
theVn, only twelve agreed to enlist, and
these were hooted by their comrades,
" A has lis traitris ! 0 lis r.oquinsfil
led the air, and with difficulty they were
prevented from murdering the recruits.
This (hews us, that however we may be
told of their being prelfed into the ser
vice by public requisition, yet their fouls
are filled with enthusiasm in the cause.
The French are still in Flanders, and
not&ithftanding the reinforcements,
which swell the force of the combined
armies to near 40,000 men, they have
not been able to dislodge them from their
favorable position. A Hanoverian of
ficer alferts as a fa£t, that the day before
yeflerday Clairfayt had endeavored to
bring them out of their position, but
after an attack of three hours, they had
dot gained a foot of ground, and were
forced to retire without having obtained
the fmallefl success. Pichegru's head
quarters are at Courtray, and the right
of his army extends to Lisle.
We had an account yesterday that an
attack upon Avefnes, had not only
failed, but that the Aultrians and Dutch
had been obliged to fail back 011 their
eamp with confideiable lufs. Besides
llcirmifhes of the out-pofts, nothing
material has happened.
Prince Gallitzin, who has been here
for fonif time, received yesterday the
authentic confirmation of the news, that
the army of the confederates had, on
the 12th and 13th ult. attacked the
Ruffians, and completely beaten them,
killed 4000 men, and taken 2000 pri
! foners, and 26 pieces of cannon.
Marlhal Bender received yesterday
an official advice of what we suppose is
the fame as the Hanoverian officer's re
lation, that 15,000 Englilh and Auftri-
but that a general Attack Was designed
with 25,000 men to-morrow morning.
We learn from Malaga, that news is
arrived there of Rear Admiral Melville
having, on the 10th Mareh last, con
cluded a peace with the Dey of Al
giers, and that all the Dutch fubje&s
which were in slavery had beet: released,
and put on board the ships of this Re
public;
We have just received the agreeable
news, of the fafe arrival of our Weft-
India fleet, confiding ps 51 fail, under
convoy of the Jason and Argo frigates ;
their cargoes contain near twelve milli
ons weightof coffee, 1,800,000 pounds
of cotton, 500,000 pounds of cocoa,
and 18,000 casks of sugar.
Yesterday General Beaulieu, after
a signal vi&ory over the French, retook
pofleffion of his camp here. The ene
my was driven towards Longwy, and
left behind them fix pieces of cannon,
and 14 artillery horses; a Colonel, 4
Captains, 1 Surgeon-Major, 5 drum
mers, 4 musicians, a number of offi
cers, and 72 privates, were made pri
soners : the French had 800 men kil
led.
The Magistrates of Luxembourg and
other places have Congratulated Gene
ral Beaulieu on this vi&ory.
Letters fiom Germany inform us,
that Dumourierhad been condu&ed, by
order of the Emperor, to the Cattle of

Major Houghton. The sudden death
of this daring adventurer, at the time
when the lapse of a few days would
have restored him to the civilised world,
after a long and venturous excursion
through the greater part of Africa, is
an awful and singular event.
We understand that he had accom
plished the business on which he was
deputed by one of our African fettle

meats to some of the princes of that
immense continent, and was within two
days journey ,of ah Ehglilh colony,
when he was discovered dead in his bed;
and although without any visible signs
of violence, there is much reason to
fear he was murdered by those who at
tended him, for the presents, &c. with
which he was returning.
What renders this melancholy event
ft ill more dillreffing, is, that the wife of
this unfortunate mart now languishes in
prison, for* debt of 251. contra&ed
with a butcher, for the support of a
large family.
The Pan, Sheddon, from Bristol to
the Weft Indies, was taken on the 24th
of March, and carried into France.
A letter from Warsaw, dated April
'21, fays—
" To the accounts already given of
the tumult at Warsaw, the following
particulars are added :
" The riling of the people in this ci
ty was accelerated by a note delivered
by the Ruffian ambassador, general ba
ron Igelftrom, to the king and perma
nent council, on the 16th, requiring
nothing lefe than that the arsenal of
Warsaw should be delivered up to him,
the Polish military be disarmed, and
that 20 persons, mostly of considera
tion, Ihould be arrested, and if found
guilty, punilhed with death. The
king and permanent council remonstra
ted with M. Igelft rom Upon the fubjeft,
but to no purpose, and when the chan
cellor, Prince Sulhowlky, was sent to
the ambafTador upon the fame business,
Baron Igelftrom used such violent ex
pressions to the prince as threw him in
to fits, of which he it'll lies dangerous
ly ill.
All this spread rapidly thioiigh the
city, and every thing was immediately
in motion ; and during the night of the
16th every thing was prepared for what
followed, by all the inhabitants and sol
diers in Warsaw. The Ruffians, of
I whom there were 6000 in the city, and
a number in the neigboUrhood, thought
they Ihould soon put an end to the dis
turbance.
They attempted eaily on the morn
ing of the 17th, to get pofifelfion of the
arsenal, and to disarm the soldiers in it.
A deputation flew immediately to the
caftlc, and rcquefted the king to revenge
such an insult offered to his troops in
his capital. His majesty answered " Go
and defend your honor!" They imme
diately took the loaded piece of cannon
which flood before the castle, and march
ed directly to the place inhabited by the
Baron Igehlrom, who was in it. In
the meantime the people took poffeflfion
of the arsenal, armed themselves, drew
out the cannon ready to make life of,
in cafe of need, and alfembled to the
number of upward of 20,000 soldiers,
citizens, and inhabitants.
The contest immediately began, and
was very (harp, in the palace inhabited
by Baron Igelftrom. It is worthy of
remark, that the Ruffians, when bea
ten back, here and there, took shelter
in various large palaces belonging to
different nobles, where they prepared
every thing for defence ; but after be
ing fired apon 18 hours, they hung out
the white flag, and offered to surrender.
This was accepted ; but the Ruffians
had the treachery to fire upon the peo
ple afterwards, which incensed them
so much that they killed all the Ruf
fians, and set fire to the palaces and
places where they sheltered themselves.
Among the Ruffians slain, are some
Generals, viz. Prince Gagarin, Generals
Milafzewicz and Igleftrom, brother to
the Ruffian Ambaffadar of that name.
Among the prisoners is General Bauer.
The Ruffians were obliged to leave their
cannon.
" Baron Igelftrom is still at Zacrdc
zim, where the Prussian General Wol
ki is polled with a eorps of troops."
A Letter fronj Oftend, dated May 10,
8 o'clock at fays, " I receive this
moment the important news that Gen.
Clairfayt's corps attacked this morning
in four columns, Courtray,Menin, and
the camp of the French near the latter
town, and every where met with the
most compleat success. Further pari
ticulars are not yet known."
Another letter, May 10, Ten at
night fays, " I have only to Acquaint
you, that Courtray is retaken by the
allied army.—They were purfuingythe
enemy when this account came away*
Menin is also retaken. The combined
army were advancing towards Lisle at
10 o'oclock this morning. The French
were retreating before them with the ut
most precipitation. Three Eflafettes are
this moment arrived with the joyful
news."
A third letter states, " We have just
heard that there has been an action at
Courtray, and that the French were beat j
and driven out of that place at eleven
o'clock in the morning.
From all these reports there is scarcely
a doubt ei the fucsefs of our attack
Official accounts-ofthe engagement may
therefore be hourly expected.
The Paris newspapers mention, that
Mr. Stone's brother had been arrested
at that place and is confined in the pri
son of the Carmelites.
Captain Wilson has been tried by a
general court-martial, and fully acquit
ted of all charge or suspicion of having
held any correspondence with the enemy,
as we some time ago Hated would un
doubtedly be the cafe.—He is now on
liis way to England.
Extra ft of a letter from a Merchant in
Cadiz, to his friend in Liverpool,
dated April 2.
"We are all alive here in trade as
well as war. Three regiiler ships, just
arrived fiom La Vera Cruz, bring
9,752,000 hard dollars, 963 fetons
cochineal, 3632 ferons indigo, Jesuits

to be feert in this city, or even in the
province ; all drove away : the French
are so detested by all ranks of people,
that it is dangeroti3 even to be heard

England on a journey of difcoverv,

DUBLIN, May 6.
Information has been received by Mr.
Gregg, Friday night last, that Harnil
ton Rowan, Esq. had been seen at
Dunleary, and took a wherry from
thence to put him on board an Ameri
can trader, which had just cleared out
from the port of Dublin. In conse
quence he applied to the Lord. Mayor,
who gave him an order lequiring Mr.
Draper, Bailiff of the river Liffey, to
supply him with a vessel, and to assist
him in purftiit of the prisoner. .They
immediately put to sea, and continued
all that night, searching every vessel
that appeared'to be Dub
lin, Rul'h, Skerries, Balbriggan, and
6ther ports, but without procuring any
j information fufficient to determine whe-
I ther Mr. Rowan actually escaped in the
j manner stated in the information.
Captain Huddart,of the Townlhend
armed brig, received orders on Friday
night last, to proceed in quell of the
Hope, American trader, which failed
from Dublin on Thursday night last,
and on board of which, it is {aid, Mr.
Hamilton Rowan has taken his passage.
We understand that he has orders to
carry the utmost press of fail possible,
and to continue the chace to the coast
as America, in order to reeover Mr.
Rowan.
The Townfhend is a veflel in the fer
vicc of the revenue, and mounts four
and fix pounders. She is said to fail
fad before a wind, from which, as it has
since blown at north-east, there is a pro
bability of her coming up with the
Hope. The American is not capable
of offering resistance, even if inclined so
to do.
Affidavit has been made by thefer
jeant, See. on guard during the night
of Mr. K's escape, that M'Dowel, fa
ther and son, who had custody of the
pfart of the goal in which he fas confi
ned, had frequently passed in and out.
They knew nothing of the cfcape till
morning, nor was Mr. Gregg apprized
bf it until 9 o'clock. The charge,
therefore, now is entirely against thi
M'Dowels, the whole family of whom
are confined in New-Prison, to take
their trial for the fame, at the commifii
on of Oyer and Terminer.
Mr. H. Rowan pofleffed a landed
property in Ireland to the amount of
three thousand a year ; but as he was
only tenant for life, this property is not
involved in his flight.
In the year 1789 and 1790, Mr.
Rowan served as Captain in the Hun
tingdonshire militia, and was univerfalljr
respected.
