There has been, hitherto no official
account publiflicd, of the late defeat of
the allies on the Rhine. The foreign
gaz-tu-s only mention the circumstance,
without entering into much detail.—
Pi ivate letters however state, that the
a£tion lasted (everal days fiiccellivcly ;
that on the firft attack the French were
repnlfed ; but they brought down such
a torrent of frefh troops, day after day,
that it was impoifi'.ile to (land again It
them. Both parties fought with de
termined bia^ery w and the carnage on
both fides mull have beei immenie.—
The French aie said to have given no
quarter'., |We anxiously wait for farther
particulars by, the mail now due : but
it is evident, from the numbers of the
French, that they mtift have joined by
the reinforcements they had drafted
from their armies in Italy.

August, 16.
Yesterday, aboct two o'clock, a ve
ry melancholy accident happened in
Johnson's court Chai ing-crols:—A
| genteel young man was taken to a Re
, cruiting Officer there, belonging to the
Ealt India Company, to be enliited ;
and upon attempting to make his elcape
I his hands were tied behind his back,
in that situation he was put into a
garret, where he was not many minutes
before he jumped fiom the window, and
was instantly killed upon the spot.
This circumftauce very naturally at
trailed the attention of* paflengers, and
presently a crowd was collected, who
iired by indignation, attacked the ren
dezvous of the Crimp who had treganed
the unfortunate young man, and preced
ed to pull down the house, which they
completely t ffected. The crowdbecame
so great and riotous, that a Detach
ment of the Horse Guards-was called
in, who were parading the street at
twelve o'clock last night at which time
the mob was not difperfecL
This morning early a Mob collected
about the place, and attacked the house
from whcnce the uufortunate young man
had thrown himfelf into the street. The
populace proceeded to gut the house,
throwing the furniture out at the win
dows. ' The street was cover, d with
feathers from the beds which were torn
to pieces ; they were proceeding to de
molish an adjoininghoufe, when the mi
litary were cr.lle3 in, and at ten this mor
ning several Officer's Detachments both
of Horse and Foot were parading the :
streets at Charing-Crofs, at which time a
, number of fp«Aators were still as
sembled.
The state prisoners, confined in New
gate, as appears by the Kaiender, are
committed by his Grace the Duke of

high treason. Those in the Tower are '
committed upon charges ofhigh treason. |
Whoever considers the importance to '
this country of its leather nianufa&ures, :
cannot fee without great pleasure, every ]
attempt to improve them. To render
leather water proof, has long engaged
the talents of ingenious men ; and tho'
feme individuals have accomplished it,
yet, having fee 11 red the monopoly of
their invention by patent, the public '
can, at present, reap but little benefit
from thtir labours. The Chev. de St. 1
Real has, however, it fcems, (in the ;
Repertory of Arts and Manufactures,)
published to tlie world a mode of doing 1
it, so cheap and simple, as to afford ra
tional hopes of great advantage.
The mail from Holland, received this
morning, confirms, in a great measure,
some of the late accounts.—By this
channel it does not appear that thert has 1
beeri any maflacre; bat that Robes
pierre, Couthon, and the reft of his
party were accused on the 27th ult. by
Barrere, Tallien,and Collot D'Herbois,
of tyrannical proceedings, condemned
to the guillotine, and very quietly exe
cuted 011 the fame day. And as an in
itance of the previous uninterrupted
order of that horrid form of govern
ment still existing, no less than 135
pei funs were condemned on the 25th,
26th, and 27th, by the revolutionary
tribunal; among whom was the cele
brated Baron Trenck, in tbe-7oth year
of his age.
( According to the advices received by
government, Tallien is at the head of
this new order of tyrants.—lt is also
certain that a great number of persons
have been maffacied, besides those who
tell under the revolutionary axe of the
guillotine. The confufion of the free
metropolis of Paris is yet inconceivable.
The representatives of the people at
Brussels have issued a proclamation to
this effect :
" That the nobles, ecclesiastics, reli
gious houses, and the priviledged per.
sons of the city of Brussels, shall pay
to the French a contribution of Jivt mil
lions in specie, which shall he paid with
in twenty-four hours, otherwise hj>lta
ges shall be taken, even from among the
magistrates."
Another proclamation ig to this ef
fect :—" That as the markets at Brtif
feli are ill furnifhed, iirter pretext of the
circulation of afiignats, and different
persons have fufpeoded their traffic on
the fame account, the Commune which
furnifh the Brussels markets with grain,
and other articles, are ordered to pro
vide them as formerly, without making
any diftinftion about under
pain, with refpe& to persons who may
refufe them at par, of being reputed
nemies to the Republic, and eondudicd
to France to he punished as such. It
has been ordered likewifc, under the
fame penalty, that such as have (hut
up their (hops, &c. do open them again
immediately."
SPEECH of Citizen BsfRRERE,
In tbe fitting of the National Convt-n-
tion, on the 2cth July.
Public corruptors attempt to spoil
the morality of the people ; they speak
of peace to paralyze the Revolutionary
Government, th?t fine and terrible in
ltitution, to which we ought to attri
bute our victories, which has delivered
the Republican foil from fa&itms, which
has banished famine, which conloldi
dates the Republic, and fecuies the li
berty of the human race. Political
storms fcem to be preparing, their sy mp
toms appear the more (hiking to the
two committees which teceive the news
at home and from abroad. We learn
that there are commotions ready to bu'fl
forth in the Se&ions and the Popular
Societies. Your committees have tak
en measures. The enemies of .Liberty
wish to vent their drfpair, their vices
and crimes upon Paris ; but the Re
public (hall triumph at Paris, as it does
ExtraS of a letter from Breda, Aug. 8
" Every thing is qui.t in camp. The
heavy baggage is jull arrived. The
deputy Quarter-Malt er General, witli
the commandant of the (Cap
tain Johnson and Lieutenant Robe of
the artillery) this'evening went to re
connoitre the Sandh.ll near the tne.-.mp
ment, to determine on the propereft
j place for making batteries for the de
fence of the camp ; which indicates our
, remaining here for some time.—Maga
zines of forage are forming for the Bri
tish troops at Gertuydenberg and Gor
cum."
According to letteis received on
Wednesday from the Biitifh array, of
a later date by two days than those
brought in the mail, we learn, that the
citadel, as well as the town of Liegr, is
in poficfiion of the Auttiiaus ; and that
the-French are fallen back to some dis
tance. This circumltance considered,
with the retreat of the Fiench aimy of
the Rhine, towards their own frontiers,
seems to denote something more than
has yet transpired- It is certain that
the allied armies have rectofled the
Rhine.
The garrison of Treves has been
reinforced by 8000 Auftrians.
A Fr«nch General Officer of artille
ry, and five of his ftaff, have been at
Genoa, and afterwards proceeded to
Loano, whic'h, as well as Oneglia, hat
been reinforced. From Vingtimiglia, it
appears, that 15,000 trench had palled
that way to take poll between Limona
and Cunco.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth,
Augult 11.
This morning the Jane filhing smack,
Captain Paillet, belonging to this port,
returned here from Morlaix, to which
place flic failed from hence on Friday
last, with Capt. Renatidin late of Le
Vengeur (funk during the late gloiiou#
action the Ift of June,) and a young
Frenchman who has resided in this town
for near three yeais past, both of whom
were landed yesterday morning at five
o'clock.—The Jane got fight of the
French land 011 Saturday evening, but
the Captain would nor go on Ihore till
morning, fearful left he should fall in
with the Royalists, who are in force in
the neighbourliood of Roseau.
" Captain Paillet was on Ihore at
Morlaix for about two hours, where
the inhabitants seemed to be in the
highell spirits ; but the Capt. of the
Vengeur recommended him not to tarry
longer, as the Municipality would be
acquainted with his being on shore, and
might probably detain him perhaps a
day or two—He accordingly took the
hilt, went immediately on board and
put to sea.
" The Jane was hoarded about half
channel over, on herpaflage to Morlaix,
by a French (loop of war, who wa»
cruizing in conceit with two others ;
but on finding the Captain of Le Ven
getir on board, they wished him a good
voyage, and proceeded on their cruize.
" Captain Ptillet reports, that there
are at Morlaix and Rofcau near twenty
gun-boats, rigged as fchooneri, witli a
imall mijen-inail, on which is oecafion
ally hoi.fted a lug fail ; they were origi
nally large ships, and have been cul; down
for the purpose of gun-boats, each of
them being in their present state about
200 tons, and carrying two 24 pounder*
on the forecaftle, and four 24 pounders
