The foilr Britilh regiments had again
advanced to Thoiirout, and occupied
their former poiition, ready to co-ope

York mean while had received, from
the army under the command of the
Emperor, and the Prince of Saxe Co

tained his thong position near Baifenx ,
and his army, which by reinforcements
above mentioned, now consists of aboyt
35,000 meti, was impatierit to be led
to the attack;
While such is the different afptft of
affairs from what the apprehensions of
the people of Oftafftl led us to suppose,
the army under ths Emperor has not
been inactive They had had an en

the neighbourhood of Maubcuge, in
which two thousand of the enerfiy had
been killed and wourided, and five hun

taken.

Yesterday arrived here, the ship Stadt
Altona, Capt. Pafcha, from Liibon, af
ter a paflage of 44 days.
The Captain of the above veflel in
forms, that a few days previous to his
failing, an English packet had arrived
there from Falmouth, which brought
positive information, that a number of
the members of the Hijufes of Lords
and Commons had been taken in custo
dy, the names of whom he could not
reeolleft, except that of Mr. FOX.
Capt. Pafche also informs, that on
the firft of May 50 or 60 fail of mer
chantmen failed from Liflxm, under
convoy of two frigates bound to Hol
land ; after being out a fe\r days, were
met by 5 French frigates under Eng
liih colours, which were soon struck,
and replaced with the French National
Flag. The foremoft. Dutch and one of
the foremoft French frigates commen
ced an action, whichlafted two hours;
the Dutch frigate having been dismast
ed, fell into the hands of the French,
together, probably, with the greatest
part of the convoy, as only about 20
of them had returned to Lifton. Se
| veral of the Dutch veflels were discov
ered to be on fire by those who were
making their cfcape during the adtion.
' Notwithstanding the various conjec
tures refpefting the intention of Colonel
Simeoe's late proceedings, we are as
' fured by a gentleman who arrived in
town yesterday from Canada, that the
1 business on which Simcoe was difpatch
~ ed, was only to erect a Grift-mitt for
the Indians to grind their corn, which
being now completed, he had returned,
r as mentioned in this Gazette on Tues
day lalt.
The fame gentleman informs, that
almott every necelTary, of which the
Indians stand in need, to prosecute the
( war against America, is supplied them
by the Spaniards, who seem anxious to
encourage their hostile dispositions.

A GOOD AND SUFFICIENT
CAUSE FOR WAR.
About two hundred and seventy years
ago, feme gentlemen of the Pays dc
Vaud, eating their soup hastily, with
wooden spoons, declared them more pro
per for the purpose than spoons made
of metal, as the latter retained their
heat longer, and were apt to burn their
mouths. This was good sense, but not
fatisfied with pursuing that which was
agreeable to themselves, they endeavor
ed to force the fa(hion down the throatsi
of their neighbors, instituted an Order
of the spoon, and published an edi£t com
manding all men in the country, to use
wooden spoons on pain of imprisonment,
&c. &c. Whimsical as it niay appear,
the reader may find, in jacob Spoils
Hilloria de Geneve, torn. I, page 320,
that they wore a wooden spoon as an ho
norable badge round their necks, and
were not finally subdued but by a regu
lar allied army /from Berne, Fribourg,
Solcure and Geneva, amounting to
twelve thousand men, with 18 pieces of
cannon! ! !
