On Fridays morning, intelligence hav ing arrived that the Earl of Moira was landing his troops at O a end, the French men; precipitately left that place after having been in pdTefiion of it about 24. hours. General Clairfait is encamped in the neighbourhood of Ghent, which place is putting into the belt poflible stare of defence. The French appeared at the gate of Bruges ; but after an unfuccefs'- ful attack, were forced to retire. The Earl of Moira reached this place this morning about ten o'clock. He will immediately proceed for Ghent ta form a jimetion with Clairfait, which he will probably do without opposition. ' » ' LONDON", July E r! Moira, with the troops under his command, left Oftend at thfcc o'clock - on Sunday morning, ana reached the neighborhood of Bruges at ten o t clock on that day, where he encamped. Orders carte down on Sunday evening * for tile evacuation of Oftend, 111 conse quence of which every thing was embark ed 00 board the Transports which are to go round to the Scheldt. It is not qnite certain tli.it Lord Moiri has joined Clairfayt—When he wrote on • Sunday, he expected to be attacked.,be- I tween Bruges and Ghent. His army wa; ( in the highest spirits ; and if he joms'Clau"- ; fayt, it is rrioft likely tlify will attack the i French immediately. !'l'he defeat of the Prince of Saxe Co bourg was by no means a complete one, as appeared from the Gazette of last night. On the contrary, he seems himfelf to have gained a victory in the firft instance, hut ' to have thought it prudent to retreat up-, on hearing oi the unexpected surrender of Charleroi. IVbitehalh July I. Sir, Renaix, June 28, 1724. Having received intelligence, on Tues day night, that the enemy had moved for ward in great force upon General Clair-, fayt's polition, and that they had detached a corps to attack Oudenarde, I found it absolutely necefiary, for the -dereijca of the Scheldt, to march immediately to this place, as from hence I could, with greater facility, support that place, and move up on any point at which they might attempt to force a passage» The enemy obliged General Clairfayt to abandon his position at Deynfe, and fall back upon Ghent, on Wednesday, where they again attacked him the nextaay, b it vere fortunately repnlfed. This retreat of General Clairfayt render ed it i.npoffible for General Walmodcn to support himfelf with so small a body of troop-as he had under his command at Bruges, He therefore found it necefiary to ai> indon that place on Thursday, and I to fah nack to Landmarek, and join Gt ner, ' Clairfayt's right flank. The confluences of these last move ments, though necefiary, are exceedingly unnleafaht, is all immediate communica tion with Oftend iS cut off. \ efterdaV the enemy made another at tempt upon OtHlenarde, which they can onaded the whole'day, and even carried in tne aiternobn the. were j driven out again, in the night, and have I' no w retired to a small difbiace. Yesterday fcvening I received the dis agreeable intelligence of tiie- Prince of I Cobourg's having failed in; bis attack upon the French army at Goffelies and Fleurus, as well as of the surrender of Charleroi. I am, &c. FREDERICK - Report oF'tTTe a£tion of fFe ;6'.h of >. June, f 7guf., near Fleurus. Marbais, June 2 6thy, 1794. s "Although there' was great reason to - suspect that Charleroi was already in 1 the hands of the enemy, yet, as no cer tain intelligence could possibly be pro -1 cured, the attack, which had been de : termined upon for its relief, became ne r ceffary, to prevent the fate of so im i portant a place as Charleroi being left s to chance. In consequence, the army marched - on the 25th in five columns, and early r in the morning of the 26th attacked the enemy's entrenched pevfition between f Lambufart, Efpinies and Golselies. 1 The attack, which was executed with great resolution, was every where e fuccefsful, and the enemy's advanced , corps, although protected by strong re s doubts, were; dtiven back. In the even ing the left wing arrived at the princi -1 pal heights on this fide the Sambre. t The ground here forms a gentle de - clivity, which the enemy had fortified - by a very extensive line of redoubts, in - which they had brought an immense number of cannon. Notwithstanding , these obflacles, the left wing attempted - to force the enemy's position with fixed bayonets. But the surrender of Char leroi, which took place on the evening of the 2Jth, having enabled the enemy to reinforce themselves with the befieg > ing army, and thus to bring the greatest , part of their force again It our left wing : this advantage, added to those of their situation, and of the quantity of heavy , artillery, enabled them to repulse our attack. The troops, nevertheless, forih >ed again under the fire of the enemy's ■ guns, and would have renewed the at > tack with the fame resolution, had not the certainty of,the fall of Charleroi, now confirmed by the reports of prison- ; ers, and by fever :l other circumstances, determined our general officers not to expose their brave troops any farther. ' 1 hey halted to remove the wounded* '< and to give the infantry time to reft, and then began their retreat, which was ; affected, with the greatest order, as far j ;is Matbais, where the armv pafles this j night, and will march to Nivelles to- | I morrow, to cover the country as far as I poflible, and to protest Namur. I Our loss is not very confideiable, and j may perhaps amount to 1,500 men.— I No cannon have been loft, but a hovvit jj zer ahd oie colour have been taken •f from l ue enemy. Whitehall, July r» By a letter from lieutenant general the Earl of Moira, dated the 29th of last month, it appears that his Lordftyp and the troops under his command had arrived at Haiie, four miles from Bruges, on the great Causeway to Ghent, It also appears, by a letter from colonel Vylc, dated at Oftend on the fume day, that he was then embarking the Bth 33d, and 44th regiments, and the reft of the troops, auilleiy and liorcs, inten ding to evacuate that place. * July 1. It would be abiurd to deny that the Duke of York is in a perilous fituati -1 °n—His potition at Renaix is defended by a wood in front, and another in the rear, but his force does not amount to more than 12,000 men, and the enemy in immense numbers, are 19 his front, on one of his flanks and in his rear. BALTIMORE, Atigufl: 26. ; AUTHENTIC. A decree of the National Conven tion, 23d Prairial, t ith June, declares, that every poflible effort is to be made for the retaking of the French colonies, and the means to be adopted for that ptirpofe, were referred to the joint committees of public fafety and colo nial. / i On Monday the 18th instant, arrived at Norfolk, five French passengers, who efeaped trom the maflaere at Fort Dau phin on t<e 7th of July.

AMONG the tracts which are oc cafioually read on the fubjedt of educa tion, in the brief compend given in the Encyclopaedia, tinder the head of a Spartan education, iq an anecdote of a citizen, -whose example I shall make no apology for recommending to the imi- I tation of any difappoipted candidates for offices under the federal government. I It is thought the adoption of this ex i ample would save the present faithful fervarits of their country, and the ad- I mi:.iftration in general, from loads of undelerved slander and rcproach. " Never," faith the writer, " was any state adorned with more patriotic citizens than those of Sparta. With them every private affection feeincd to be swallowed up by the Amor Pulria— The love of their country, waS, at I least the ruling paflion, Psedartet be ing rejedted when he offered himfelf a candidate among the council of 300, retai ned home rejoicing that there were, in Sparta, no fewer than three hundred whom his countrymen found reason to' regard as better citizcns than hiinfclf. This was not a seeming joy, assumed to conceal the pain which he fufftred from the dil'appointment; it'was heartfelt and sincere."
