LATEST
Foreign Intelligence,
Received by the /hip "Marubejlcr Capt.
Cox, from Liverpool which left that
place September 9.
« '
LONDON, Sept. 6-
By the Corufma mail which arrived
this morning, we have the .following im
portant intelligence, of so late date as the
2zd of August, from a correspondent at
Bilboa, which fufficiently overturns evety
thing that was advanced yesterday, re
fpeihrig the further progress of the French
in the Spanish territory, South weft of
Bayonne i
The enemy, it appeirs, had advanced
to Totofa, in a body of 1,500 then, near
which place they were attacked by the
Spaniards, and totally cut t'O pieces, orders
having been ilTued that no quarter (hould
be given. The feme dreadful example
was made of all who were found wearing
any republican badges at Totofa, and this
is in corifequence of the recent discoVery
of a plot to lurrender the frontier provin
ces, at the head of which were the Spa
nifli deputy generals Ro Micheleua
and BarbachanO, afiiftedby agreat number
of their creatures dispersed through Gui
pufcao, Biscay and Navarre: roost of thfe
latter have been txecuted, several at Bil
boi, asd others at Pampelbna.
The three principals involved in this af
fair are with their friends the French at
Forttarabia and St. Sebastian, rrgainft
which places an army of 17,000 men were
preparing to march, in full confidence of
recovering them both within a mortth
from the above date, and of punishing at
an example to traitors all those concerned
in facrificing their cotintry.to the ambition
of its otherwise impdtent invaders.
This formidable conspiracy having beeti
discovered, and thus entirely defeated, no
apprelienfions arc entertained for the fafety
of the Spanilh territory—The proclama
tion for the inhabitants to arm en majje,
has already in the different pro
vinces an immense army; in Biscay, the
volunteers assembled amount to a ?,600
men; and in every great town throughout
the kingdom, the people of property have
voluntarily brought forward their effeils
infupportof * war, wbifrh they conftder
as carried on not only in defence of the cx
iftence of the Spanish nation, bat of reli
gious and facial order, attacked by a
worfc than Gothic rite of barbarians.
Camp near Bots-Le-Due, Sept. i.
The army marched from its former
camp early on the rnorflhig oft he ioth ill*.
| and, after two day* march, has encamped
Hear Nifterlroy, a village about three
leagues from Bois-de-D.uc, on the road to
Grave, from which it is aij equal distance.
The French made no new attack upon
i the out-pofts of the army, at their former
; encampment, since the »6th ult. but by
the force in which they then appeared, it
[ was evident that they were marching to
I besiege Breda.
Summons to Breda.
On the evning of the 21ft ult. the
French General (who i» fiid to be Jour
dan ) sent an officer with a trumpet to fum
moh Bred* to surrender, in order to avoid
the horrors of a liege. The command
ant referred him for his anfvrer to the
Duke of York: it is needless to fay what
the answer was.
The commandant of Breda immediately
c " red all the small villages and houses
within the range of cannon, to be set on
fire, that they might not cover t'ie enemy
in theit approaches to attack the place j
and every preparation was made for the
most vigorous defence.
The French bad not, however, yester
day, cut off the communication with.the
garrisons, as Tome persons only quitted it,
but they had appeared in fight, as some
heavy cannon were fired upon them.
Breda is in a tolerable state of defence.
It is to be presumed that the French will
not be able to reduce it, may
oblige them to raise the siege, and without
the garrison's making a sortie to drive them
avay.
By the ground which the Duke of York
has chosen, he is at hand to succour either
Bois-le-Duc, or Grave, should they be
threatened: he is also near Cleves, by
which he may co-operate with the alltes,
in those raeafures which may hereafter be
pursued.
P. S. The Duke of York, the Heredi
tary Prince of. Orange, and General Beau
lieu, held a council of war at Bois le-Duc
on the ift inft. which lifted for upwards of
four hours. The result is not known.—
This muftno doubt have beentoconcert the
ensuing operations of the campaign, and
to determine whether the allies should ad
vance, and drive the Frchch from before
Breda, and endeavor to cut off their re
treat ; or if the armies fhal! continue on
the defenfive only, and maintain the chain
at present formed, till the opening of ano
ther campaign, or till all their reinforce
ments fhalJ have arrived.
THE DEATH OF LOUIS

The only authority which we yet

Is said, was conclusive. After this
conference, Princes Stahremberg and

The arch Duke Palatinate a few days
ago arrived at Breda in Hungary, on
his return from this capital, and about
two hours after hi* arrival the cannon of
the ramparts of that town, as well as
those of the town of Pest were by or
ders of that Prince, pointed against the
towns, and pat roles are day and night
parading through the streets. The
cause of these measures are yet unknown,
but it is conjectured that a connexion
has been discovered between the conspi

federal of the inhabitants of the above
Hungarian towns.

surrendered by Capitulation. The fir

from the French works before that

of the enemy upon some other place in
