The tvhoie attention of the King is
occupied by the PJKh war, which lie
is determined to pursue with the utmofl
vigor, and is making every exertion for
the ptirpofe. Though the openiitg of
the campaign has been unfavorable to
the Pwl.n, nation, yet our molt diltin
guifhed jffieers cannot avoid paying e
very tethmony to the bravery and intre
pidity with «.nth they fought. Of
Kofcimko they speak ia the highelt
terms: They equally admire his pre
sence of m.ud in the action, and hjs (lull
in manjging his retreat, which was on
ly one league from the place of action,
where he took a moil advantageous and
well chosen polifion. The Prussian and
R.iffiin forces in the late action artiount
ej t(. 25,000 tT;;iilar troops ; those un
der Kofciufko only amounted to 20,000
a gtfcat pait df whom were peasants

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
June 25.
LONDON, Jnly 24.
This morning Mr. Shaw, one of the
King's Mefiengers, arrived at the Se
cretary of State's Office, from the
Continent, with dispatches from Lord
Malmefbury.
Yesterday we presented the public
with accounts from the British army
down to Friday last. We now give
the following communications, to the
date, from another Correspondent:
Camp at Kontigh, July 16.
Last night the enemy attacked our
advanced polls of Heflians in the village
of Waelhem, of V„ich they poflefled
themselves after a flight refinance. The
HcfltanS with the fame precipitatation
which marked their conduct in destroy
ing the bridge at Malines, set fire, in
their retreat, to tbkc bridge over the
i river at this end of the village, to pre
vent the enemy from puifuing them
a circumstance which will enable the
enemy to keep possession of the place,
and to annoy our advanced potts on this
fide of the water, by firing on them
from the houses and banks of the river.
That the enemy might be prevented
from crofiing the river at Duffel, three
miles from the place, or in its neigh
bourhood, the Earl of Moira immedi
ately marched thither with his army,
where he is now potted.
The enemy, in the afternoon of this
day, by a severe fire of Mufquetry from
the village of Waelhem, forced an Aus
trian party, potted in a battery at the
end of the bridge, with two 12 pound
ers, to retreat; upon which fix British
field pieces, belonging to General Stew
ard s brigade, under the command of
Captain Robertfon, weie ordered for
ward to within 150 yards of the village,
to fire on the numerous riflemen of the
enemy, who lined the banks of the ri
ver, an.! tlie windows of the houses,
without a man being visible at which
they could fire. The artillery on this
occasion behaved with the utmost gal
lery, keeping up an inceflant fire for
upv ards of two hours, and, in some
m 1.-1 fore, silencing that of the enemy,
when they were ordered to retire, af
ter having about one third of their men
either killed or wounded by the fire of
the enemy's riflemen from the windows
of the village. On this occasion Cap
tain Robeitfon received a contufionfrom
a spent (hot, which (truck him on the
Ihoulder.
Though we succeeded in some mea
sure in forcing part of the enemy tp re
tire from the village, the action was
productive of no one beneficial confc
quer.ee to repay our lufs of men, and
waste of ammunition ; for no sootier
were the guns withdrawn than ihe ene
my returned to the village in as great
force as ever.
This evening the French alfi ad
vanced in some force oil the village of
Duffel, where .Lord Moira is ported.
His Lordship was however, fully pre
pared to give them a proper reception ;
for, on taking port there, he had pru
dently fortified the approaches to the
bridge, which he also laid with com
buflibles, by which he had the power
effectually to prevent the enemy from
palling, while at the fame time he could
maintain a free passage for his own
troops to the last fainute. On feeing
the numbers of th.e enemy his Lord
(hip immediately detached across the
bridge to attack them two regiments of
infantry, fomc field picces, and about
500 light cavalry, chiefly composed of
the 16th and 16th dragoons; with a
few of the Bth and 14th.
The French, on feeing our ttoops
advance, began to ictreat, f<> that our
infantry had not anojiport m, it y of aim
ing to a&ion vvith tlirm, hut our ca
valry prfhed forwat!, without Idling S
moment, charged that of the enemy,
which amo'unted lo about 6co men,
with so much imprt::ufity, that after a
fevcre but short conflict of a few mi
nutes, the Frernh weie completely
routed, with the !ofs < f about 40 men
killed, among whem was the Colonel
who commanded tiiem, Our dragoons
took a number of fine hmies, and pur
fucrf the enemy almost close to Malines.
Our loss wa» four killed, and eight
Wounded.
Last night, the enemy kept up an inces
sant fire from Waelhem, which killed and
wounded several of our troops : among o
thersj Lieutenant Richardfun, of the ; Bth,
was killed by a rifle-fhot, which struck him
On the fore-head.
Lord's Moira's army has been perfectly
unmolested allthi, day; the check which
the enemy received having, as it
would appear, detcrredthero from attempt
any thing in that quiitei 1 . One of Lord
Mbira's patroles of cavalry this morning
piirfued a small party of Trench Huflars,
and took the fearjesut of it prisoner, after
being fevereiy wounded. Ke fays, that the
French army to Which he belonged are in
general heartily tired of the M ar, though
they have, at the fame time, the greatest
confidence in General Pichegru, who
commands them. After being brought in
he underwent a long examination by the
Duke of York and tile Earl of Moira.
Four Light Infantry companies
to the guards which were lately landed at
Antwerp from England, marched thence
into camp.
The French Hill molest us by firing
from their covers in Waelhem. In the
course of this day thty killed twelve Hef
fiians.
Friday, July 18.
This morning the Cnemy were found to
have withdrawn the principal part of their
force from Waelhem ; nor is there any
appearance of them at Duffel. We are
therefore led to beiieve that in consequence
of being foiled in their attempts to pass at
these places, they will, endeavor to do it
near Lier, to the left of our present posi
tion. If they succeed in this we must
•change our ground, otherwise they may
get to Antwerp before us.
Colonel Fead of the artillery, having ar
rivd from England, to relieve Colonel
Congreve, the latter will (hortly leave this
enhis return home, carrying, with him
the regret of the whole army for his de
parture, The troops are fcnfible of his va
lue, and of the important services he has
rendered them during the two last cam
paigns. As an artillerist he has long been
acknowledged as the firft in Europe—A»
an officer, no man in the army poffefies a
clearer head, or more extensive knowledge
of military affairs.
The accounts from the Britilh army,'
we veftcrday laid before our readers, and
thole given in the preceding communica
tion, announce, that on the 18th the
French had made a movement towards the
[eft of the position occupied by our troops
in consequence of which it was expected
the latter would be under the neceflity of
changing their ground, to prevent' the
irench from cutting off their retreat.
By dispatches from the Duke of York,
whchwerereceivedyellerday, brought toRJr
Inmdas s office, by the hon. Captain Hope,
who left the army on Sunday last, it ap
pears, that on the preceding dav, the
French attacked the Farl of Moira's army,
and that theßritilh were preparing to retti.
to Breda at the time Capt. fiope can*
away.
The direct answer of the Genoese to thi
Court is not known —it is however ilated.
that so much coneeffion has been made a
goes to grant permifficn to the British fliip.-,
of war to enter the harbor, provided the
blockade be raised. —The English Cunful
; has been officially informed, that it wa
entirely through miftakt that the fort ot
St. Marie in the Gjij. 1 of Spezzia, fired
cn the Diadem man of war, as formerly
! ilated.
MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.
ExtraS of a letter from an officer in
l.ord Hood't Fleet, dated June 20»
We have been ciuifing before Tou
lon for some months, blocking up the
enemy's fhjps (or in cafe they Ihould
prefuine to fail to take them to Corsica)
and have experienced a great deal of bad
weather.
On the 28th of May we w«re unfor
tunately driven much to the eallward, by
a gale of wind, which continued for se
veral days, and the squadron have never
regained theit former fituatiorr since ;
for although our endeavors were not
wanting by beating to windward, be
fore we could reach our old cruizing
ground, the French squadron was dis
covered at sea, making in all 16 fail of
square rigged vefiels, of which seven
were of the line, viz. Sans Culottes, of
130 guns ; Tdnnant, 80 gunS J Com
merce of Bourdeaux, 74 guns ; Cen
feur 74 ; Heureux 74; Genereux 74 ;
and Duquefne 74. They were very far
to windward of us when firft spied, and
kept their wind, rendering it therefore
impossible for us to biing them to ac
tion.
On the 9th Lord Hood joined us in
the Victory, making an English fleet of
16 fail of the line. On the 10th afig
nal was made for a g/eneral ehace; and
at 6 o'clock on the morning of the I Ith,
the two fleets were only three leagues
from each other. The Dido frigate was
the only ship tLiit could get up, and
exchartged some shot with the French:
who having the advantage of the wind,
soon aftct took shelter under the fire of
their own forts in the Bav of Joohan,
between Nice and Antibes. They were
affifted'in their escape by a number of
boats, which were difpatc4ied to tow
them in. Had we caught any wind '
that day, the French fleet in these seas j
would have been totally cut up ; but '
unhappily it fell a 11 ill calm : three miles I
only separated us when they got to an
anchor. Now we block them in again; !
and should they not come out, Admiral
Hothan will attempt to destroy them by 1
fire.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, Sept. ii.
We are informed, that a vessel has ar
rived in this town from Hallo well, on the
Kennebeck River, with a cargo of corn,
rye and flour, the latter article having been
manufactured at the mills lately eredled
there. When we contrail this circumstance
(which is but a small part of the grain ex
ported from that place the present year)
with the great quantities of grain annually
imported into that country, and indeed
until within three years past, we are hap
py in making public agreeable intelligence,
as it mull afford pleasure to every friend to
his country to be informed, of its growth
and prosperity, and this can be ascertained,
perhaps, in no more certain instance, than
when new resources open, and new ma
nufactures are introduced.
