On Saturday Mr. East, the meffen
ger arrived at the Secretary of State'i
office with difpatche* from the Diiice ol
York, dated July 30. The Britiih ar
jny under the command of his Royal
Highness remained unroolefted m iti
petition near Rofendael. On the
orders were issued for the army to pre
pare for moving nearer to Breda ; but
on the 30th these orders were counter
manded. Tlw advanced guard of the
French army, confiding of 6000 men,
under the command of Gen." Cafpard,
was, on Tuesday last, about a league on
the Dutch fide of Antwerp.
The Prince of Orange, with the
Dutch troops, occupied a petition to
cover the right of Breda.
The Prince of Saxe Cobourg had re
treated acrof* the Meufe to Foron le
Compte about 10 miles south ea(l of
M;if(tricht. He had sent his heavy ar
tillery to Duffeldorf, where it is suppos
ed he means to cro£s the Rhine.
On Saturday a messenger arrived also
with difpatc'qcs from the Earl of Elgin,
and Lord St. Helen's, at the Hague.
The accounts received by the Dutch
and Flanders mails make no mention of
the reported defeat of a part of the
Prince of Saxe C'obourg's army near
Maeftricht.
The garrison of Landrecy, confiding
of 2oco men, surrendered at discretion

. Letters from Leghorn of the 9th
July mention that Calvi still continues
to hold out notwithstanding the place
was lnceffintly fired upon.
Two (hips of the line, with four fri
gates had arrived at Leghorn ; on board
of one of the frigates were four CorficaQ
Deput ics on their passage to England.
From Milan we learn that the rising
in a mass in Piedmont, has produced
upwards of 40,0 CX) men. They are to
be divided into three columns, to assist
the troops of the line in driving the
French from their various pods. Their
standards are decorated with the words
" Vive Jefu, Maria Vergine la Religi
one Cartolica. Patra." But they are
furni/hed with provisions only for a
week.
Accounts from Warsaw down to the
13th mention that a general attack was
expeAed to be made on that place in 4
days. Kofciufco's whole force is in the
intrenchments under its walls, and an
obstinate resistance is expected. The
most considerable part of the people arc
for gi ing up the place, but the chiefs
of the i nfurgents are for refilling to the
Utmost. The centre of the Pruffiau ar
my under the King in person, it is sup
posed, will undertake the siege. The
corps under the Hereditary Prince is
upon the left, and closes with the wood
of Biclinow, while the right wing is
formed by the Ruilians under General
Forfen, and extends to Czernichow.
Letters from Stockholm mention,
that there has been a warm dispute be
tween the Ruffians and Swedes near
Swenkfund, on an attempt by the lat
ter to raise a small fortification. The
Ruffians contended that the territory
belonged to them. It does not appear
that any blood was spilled on the occa
sion.
A report has gained much confidence
on the Continent, that the populace of
Constantinople, surrounded the serag
lio, and demanded a war with the Ruf
fians in defence of Poland ; that the
Grand Seignior being obliged to com
ply with their demand, all the troops
had been sent for out of Asia, and mea
sures taken for the immediate com
mencement of hostilities.
WARSAW, July 13.
On the 14th inft. a Courier arrived
k*' P reccet k** by 6 postillions blowing
their horns, dating, that our troops in
Lithuania had not only taken the com
mercial city of Lieban, in Courland,
but the uhole of the Dutchy of Cour
!* rd and Semigalia, which have ac
knowledged the prote&ion of Kofciuf
ko. Major General Von Mirbach has
been appointed Major General there.
It appears from this, that only a few
Ruffian troops can have reached our
frontiers from Livonia, as the Poles
could not other wife have undertaken the
expedition against Courland.

DOVER, Aug. 3.
The French continue the firing on
Sluys, and it is said many gun-boats are
preparing at Dunkirk to affiil them in
invading Holland. The Dutch have
several men of war at Flushing, to op

FLUSHING, July 28.
The French, for these two of three
days, hatfe been in the neighborhood of
Sluys, without coming near enough the
town to be annoyed by the garrifdn ; but
this morning, it seems, they began in
earned their labor, the effe<ft of which was
the complete rtmting of all the Dutch
troops that were placed b&th here and
there, with batteru-s at the entrance of
the opposite fide of the Scheldt. Theif
retreat was cut off from Sluys, so that they
were obliged to fly to this place, where
they arrived at 4 o'clock this morning;
they were about 70 or 80 that escaped
hither. We discern very plainly the Car
magnols working at. the batteries, which
ithey attempt to conftrufl all along the
(hore: a Duteh armed brig has been all
, the morning firing at them, and they re
turn the fire; all this we fee from our
ramparts here.
July 20, 1 o'clock, a. M.
Yesterday wc fa w very diftindtly from
this place across the water, which is only
4 miles, a very large body of the French.
, horse and foot marching for Sluys j this
was about a quarter pad 9 o'clock,
j About 12 a very heavy cannonade cam
l menced ; the result no one can be ac
; quainted with ; the French were about
j 10,000, according U> the best judges,
j The Mynheers began to examine their
! guns upon the tamparts, and a brig in
: the offing fired at the Carmagnols as
they pafled along the sands.
Sir S. Smith and Lord Moira are
here. There are 400 pieces of bra fa
cannon in Sluys; but' there are not
2000 men to defend it.
We seem all panic ft ruck, and every
place given up ;'for as the French pas
sed over the plain they took a fort
mounted with 50 piece* of cannon with
only 12 (hots fired.

'the Tragedy of Percy* with the High
land Reel, reduced to an afterpiece of two
ails were represented on Friday evening to
a very brilliant an •' crowded■ houft —-both
of which got off, feem'mgly to univerfalfa
tisfaclion.
The curtailing the Comic Opera the By-
Jlander thinks a laud able.improvement, and
the piece terlainly appears with additio
nal advantage under its present form.
The Writer has heard it frequently ob
served that he ccnfines his remarks foleiy to
the m. rits of the Performers —front which
he concludes that it is expelled of him to no
ticeatjo the Plays. He begs leave to offer
bis reply, and appeals to the candour and
judgement of the public.
It is well known that mojl of tlx old
flandard plays have undergone the tefl of
capricious iajle for Upwards of a Century,
the flrongejl evidence of their prijent undis
puted worth : and thofs written of later
years (among which much vile trash exijls)
ha-ite all undergone the fiery ordeal of tlx
Monthly and Critical Reviewers. Should
ap'tfee the production of an American pen
be presented on the Jlage, the Bystander
would conceive it his duty to the Author and *
the Public, tofpeak of it with that impar
tiality by which he has ever endeavored to
be guided : he will
"nothing extenuate,
"Nor set down aught in taalice."
The Byflander has learnt ujithfain, that
his remarkJ on the performance of Leander
caufedJome convulsive symptoms to the gen
tleman iuhoperfondted that CharaSer—Un
•w.tling to agravate tlx cause of his d'jeon
teni, he nOill only ,observe, that he is not to be
bullied nor courted by flattery into obfequiouf
neft ; Impartiality is his fiudy, and though
his remarks may sometimes be thought fe
■vere, yet he can make allbwanceS, "mildly
judging, like a good natured critic.
When he zvitnetfes natural failings, however
Angular, he can subdue his <wit ; but an
ajfeEled deportment, aiming to be internal
ly great, induces him to compose those emo
tions excited by any thing ridiculous.—" Non
