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.

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.

We are informed, that the noted
Beverly Allen, having been refciud by
a party of his adherents from the gaol
in which he was confined since h : s late
capture in Georgia, has lately taken up
1 his abode on the banks of Neufe river,
near the Fnlls thereof, in the county of
Wake in this itate ; where, it i!i (aid,
he has friends and relations that aid and
p support him ; and that he, wjtb three
other armed men, have prepared a Itroug
I log-house, where they mean to defend
p themselves. A party of light horse,
tir.der the command of Lieut. Harvey,
ot Franklin, have marched to attack
him—the result is not yet known, but

will crown his efforts.
PATRIOTISM.
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."
How happy for us, if all partial
views, intercfts and objedts might be
swallowed up in the general good ! Es
pecially at (he present time, whilit fo
reign danger so loudly presses us to
Unity, peace and firmnefsan home ! t'
