Letters from Warsaw, brought by
the Dutch mail, itate, that another ac

took place on the Bth u!t. near £hehn ;
that the poles were again defeated ; but
that happily no difafterous cohftqucncei
had resulted from their defeat. Gen.

This niorning an extraordinary Mef- i
fenger who accompanied Earl Spenccr
to the Cantinent, arrived at the Duke
of Poitland's Office. He is said to
bring jhe moll favourable accounts of \
the promised support of both the Aull- j
| rian an d Prussian armies in the general 1
cause. They only wait reinforcements.
We on Wednesday dated that the i
account of Namur having fallen into pos
session of the enemy was premature ; it
however appears that they have entered
Malines and Louvain.
The Prince of Saxe Cobourg falls
back to cover Liege and Maeltricht—
he is said to have been joined with a con
fidera big reinforcement of Auftrians ;
meanwhile, a much greater number are
advancing to his support.
Mr. Schaw has brought an account
to government of some of the latefl
movements of the armies on the Rhine
the particulars of these have not tran
spired. It is however reported that
the Auftrians worried with the repeated
attacks of the enemy, have retreated
across that ii»er.
BRITISH ARMY.
Catnp at Kontigh, July 12,
In our present polirion there is such
a scarcity of water, that all the men in
the army who have been accustomed to
link wells, or to any similar employ
ment, are immediately to set about the
digging of some, that the troops may
be supplied with water.
Yesterday we were informed that the
enemy had taken Louvain ; and we have
also learnt that for these two days past
they have been bombarding Eclufe, and
Sas-de-Gand. Should they gain pof
felfion of these, they will immediately
pass into Dutch Flanders. In fliort,
every operation of the enemy (hews
that they are determined to lose no time
in completing the conquest of this coun
try.
We hear a heavy firing on the fide of
Malines, commonly called Mechlin, the
enemy as we are informed having at
tacked that,place. The Earl of Moira
with a great part of his army has march
ed to its relief.
JI o'Clock, P. M. ■
The so rce which the enemy carried
against Maiines, amounted to between
6 and 7000 men and 5 pieces of cannon
with which they kept up a brisk fire on
the town for some time. They however
began to retreat befoje Lord Moira's
army could reach the place. On this
o'ccafion a Captain of O' Donnels corps
was killed : one subaltern with about
thirty men were killed or wounded jand
several ,h°»fes were damaged by the (hot
of the enemy. At theeommencment
of the attack the garrjfon with that
precipitation and terror which have but
too conspicuously marked the condudl
of some of our Allies on different former 1
occasions set fire to the bridge across
the canal immediately in front of
Mn.lines, altho' it turned on a pivot,
and could be withdra-vn in an instant
by which they have deprived therafelves
of the only means they, had either to
pursue the enemy or reconnoitre their
fitup.tion. The French may now ap
proach the town in the fmallelt parties
with impunity, as they know that the
ganifon has no mode of crofliug the
canal to moled them either in their ap- ■
proach or retreat.
Sunday, July 13.
The prefer)t petition of the D.ike of
York and the Earl of Moira's armies,
tho' a pejfuion fieceflary to be occupied
by some troops, is the most unfavourable
that can be conceived for the Britidi to
a£l in ; the country being so complete
ly interfered by «yooda and hedges, that
ground can hardly be found to encamp
or draw up a single battalion upon. Our
formidable cavalry would be entirely
useless where we now are ; and even the
bravery and difciplinq of our infantry
would avail therr. iittle where every pol
troon, who dan fire from behind a tree
or an hedge, becomes the equal of an
intrepid soldier. The weather has been
hot in the extteme for some days pad,
from which circumstance, and the Scar
city of water, the troops have fuffered
exceedingly.
Moi/tlti", July 14,
We are beginning to lend off our
heavy baggage ; and all our lick at
Antwefp, about 1200 men, are embark
ing on board tianlpurts to be conveyed
to Flulhing, which induces us to believe
that we shall shortly tall back from this
into Holland. Indeed, as this country
is now completely loft to the Allies,
the sooner we quit it the better; for
aijyaftion in ourprefent lifuation, how
ever fuccefsful we might be, could not
be produdive of any one benefit to the
Allies.
The Earl of Moira's army are ft ill
without tents; but tho' they are hutted
very indifferently, there is not a single
murmur among the tioops, who every
day witnef's their commander, whom
they venerate almost to adoration, fub
jediing himfelf to the fame hardfliipg
with tfiemfelves—fleeping on his cloke
on sand-hills, or in a wretched hut of
draw, and not better accommodated
than the lowest soldier in his army.
It is impossible to describe what a
difappointmentthe army has experienced
by not receiving any accounts or letters
lately from England—Bafilico, who
brought the last dispatches to the Duke
of York, left the army bag of letters
behind him fomewhete on the raad.
His Royal Highness immediately or
dered him to return and b/ing forward
the bag.
Tucfday morning, July 15.
Early this morning the enemy made
an attempt to pass the Canal that runs
in front of Malines, but they were at
last repulsed, after a heavy firing of can
non and small arms.
5 o'clock, P. M.
The enemy have again advanced, and
are now keeping up a very heavy fire,with
a view of attempting to pass either the ca
nal or the river in our front. The Earl-os
Moira has marched to defend the road
from Waelhem, and the bridge wbich
crofies that river.
Half pajl 8 o'clock, P. M.
The enemy having succeeded in their
attempt to cross the canal, have taken Ma
lines, and are now advancing two miles on
this fide of it,clofe to the bridge of Wael
hem, within 4 miles of our camp. Lord
Mbira's army is at this momeut drawn up
on the banks of the 1 iver, to oppose any
attempts of the enemy to cross it; and
the bridge is covered with combustibles,
ready to set fire to, the moment the ene
my /hall approach. We do not however
expefl that the enemy will attempt any
thing farther to-night ; but to-morrow it
is probable they will —from dispositions,
however, which are now making, we have
reason to believe that, by that time, we
lhall have retreated to Antwerp^
HOUSE of LORDS.
Friday, July 11.
At 1 few minutes before 3 o'clock, the
Lord Chancellor flill absenting himfelf
from the Houie, the Karl of Lauderdale
rolt'ind called the attention of their Lord
fhipe to wiiatihe conceived to be a condutft
of the moil l,\ ■ccfr.t kind on the part ps
the noble a:./l learned Lord. His noble
friend, (the Duke of Norfolk) had on a
forms- occJiion given notice, that he
would on tr.ii day submit a motion to the
House in the' present alarming and unpre
cedented ft jetton of the connfry. The
noble and lcirned Lord had laid,' that on
this day he \i ould be certain of a full atten
dance, and that the iieffion would be jsut
an end to without giving the noble Duke
an opportunity ot delivering hisfentimeuts.
But what oitjht to be the lurprife and in
dignation o) tr.eir Lordftips, wlien they
observed, that by a trick, which would
disgrace j person in a fieuatjon infinitely
below that t,f the learned Lord, it was at
tempted to defeat the mtenfon of his noble
friend, and to prevent a motion being
made, which if acquiesced in, might have
produced the mail Hlutary conlequences.
He conceived it therefore his duty to move
" this House. do appoint a Speaker, and
proceed immediately to business." No
proceeding took place In conl'equence of
this motion.
At 3 o'clock; his Majefly arrived, and
being seated on the Throne, and the
House of Conn ion?, with the Speaker at
their head, having come to the Bar his
Majesty deliveited the following rnoft gra
cious speech:
" My Lprds and Gentlemen,
" The ftatl) of public bufmefs enables me
now to clot'e this Seificjn of Parliamtnt, in
doing which I have a again to acknow
ledge that assiduity and ztal for the interefl
01 my people, of which you have before
given me f<Ji many proofs, and which have
beenfo particularly manifefted in the pre
sent year.
I amperfuaded that you entertain too
}uft a fen' 3 01 the nature and importance of
the conrefl in which we are engaged, to
fuifer youV zeal to be abated, or your per
feverancai fliaken, by the recent fuccelles
of the enemy in the Netherlands.
0 In a> moment which so strongly calls
for energy and vigor, it is peculiarly grati
fying to me to refleiS on the uniform Ml
and bravj ry of my fleets and armies ; the
undaunti j spirit and unwearied exertion of
mv officer s and troops in every situation ;
and the f oneral public lpirit of my people,
which (. ave never, at any period, been
more ct jifpiruous.
" I tiave observed, with the Kighell
fntisfa&ion, the rapid and vnUial;!? Ac
q-.rifiti.iiis made in the Earl and Weft
Indies, the fuccefsful operations which
have been carried on in the Mediterra
nean, and the brilliant and deciiive vic
tory obtained by my fleet, under the
command of Earl Howe, an event which
mull ijver be remembered as one of the
most glorious in the naval hfllory of this
country.
" Geinlemen of the House of Commons,
" \ return you my wai mett thanks
for the cheerfuhiefs and liberality with
which yon have granred the large fup
phes which were nt'eeffary for the ler
viee of the year, and for the mainte
nance of a c.uife equally important to
the fectnity and happinefsof every class
of niy fubjefts.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" I feel it incumbent upon me parti
j cularly to acknowledge your diligence
i in the investigation of the designs which
; had been forwarded against the Govern
ment and Constitution of these king
doms, and to thank you for the confi
dence you have reposed in me on this
occasion. It will be a principal object
of my attention, to make a vigorous
and prudent use of the additional powers
veiled in mc for the protection and se
curity of my people ; and relying, as
I do, with the utmolt confidence, on
the uniform loyalty and public spirit of
the great body of my fubjefts, I have
no doubt of speedily and effectually re
prefling every attempt to disturb the
public peace, and of defeating the wick
ed designs which have been in agitation.
" It must not however, be forgotten,
that tbefe designs againit our domeUic
happiiiefs are essentially connected with
the ly(lem now prevailing in France, of
which the principles and spirit are irre
concilably holtile to all regular and
tftablifhed Government ; and that we
are therefore called upon, by every con
sideration of our internal fafety, to con
tinue our efforts in conjunction with my
allies, and to persevere, with incrcafed
vigor andfexertion, in a contest, from
the fuccefsful termination of which we
can alone expect to «(labli(h, on a solid
and permanent feundatiori, the future
security and tranquility either of this
country, or of the other nations of Eu
rope.
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his
Majesty's command said,
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" It is His Majesty's Royal will and
pleasure, that this Parliament be pro
rogued to Tuesday, the 13th day of
August next, to be then here holden ;
and this parliament is accordingly pro
rogued to Tuesday, the 13th day of Au-
Accounts were ycflerdav received in
the city, that the Empiefs of Ruflia

Sweden ; in confequcncc of which, in
furance to the Baltic immediately rose
very considerably.
