The 20,000 French employed in the blockade of Valenciennes, Conde, &c. are now between Antwerp and Mcthlin, ind are to march towards Maeftricht. They seem to have given up their pro je<sl of befiepng Breda. The French made a new requisition three days hack at Antwerp of 50,000 florins, and yesterday of 300 horles, probably for their artillery ; and at Bruflels 900. men, I suppose to work either ai the Citadel of Antwerp, which they are fortifying, or at the future fi-ge of Maeftrieht.

General Clairf&u't Army. Several accounts were yesterday given of a defeat, which had been experienced by the army under the command of. Gen. Clairfait ; some of those were of a fnoft gloomy nature, and will, we hope, be found gready exaggerated ; but of the facfi of his having experienced a check, we are lorry to fay, little doubt can be entertain ed ; we (hall however do our duty, by ■ laying before our readers such accounts as have been received on the fubjeft. By the last meflenger who arrived from the Britilh army, we learn that an account had been received at the Head Quarters, of the Republican General Jourdan hav .ng made an attempt to turn the left wing 'of the Imperial army near Liege, in which he had succeeded, and had forced that part of the army to fall back to Aix la-Chapelle. Should this report be confirmed, a ge neral engagement mud ensue, or Clairtait will be obliged entirely to change the posi tion of his troops, and too probably he forced by such a movement to leave Maef tricht unprotected. Another statement gives a more disast rous account; i runs thus : General Clairfait has been defeated, af ter an engagement of three days continu ance ! ! Thi» army confilled of between 6 0,000 and 70,000, and was ported be tween Maeftright and Liege . his right being encamped in the ntigWlxmihuod of the former place, and his left occupy ing the (Irong poll of La Chartreuse, in the vicinity of the latter. It was on the left wins: the French made their principal attack. The com bat is said to have been of the mod ob (linatekind. It commenced on the 17th iirftant, and it was not till the 19th that the enemy fucceedeJ 111 their efforts. Oil that day the Auftrians were ob liged to give way, with a loss on their patt, that was eftimatcd at upwards of twelve thousand men. They fell back to Aix-la-Chapelle, which of course totally changes the po sition of General Clairfait's army, and puts the idea of co-operation on his part with the Duke of York totally out of the qaeftion. General Clairfait mull now aft entire ly on the defenfive, and if he is unequal to contend with the forces under the command of General Jourdan, how is it probable for him to dispatch any rein forcements to the Duke, whose critical (ituation in being oppfed to Pichegru's army of 80,000 men is fufficiently ex plained in the last Extraordinary Gaz ette. The advices further state, that the Frcnch armies were every hour receiv ing frefh flrength from the pe:funs re joining them, who had formerly return ed home to assist in getting in nearly the molt abundant harvest that France has ever known. When Mr. Tooke was taken up, it is supposed that the manuscript of thefe cond and third volumes of the Epea Pterocnta was also taken. It is to be hoped that the Minister will not be such a vandal as to withhold so great a trea sure from the literary world. The repulle of General Clairfait's left wing from Liege to Aix-la-Chapelle, was not effected without an ohftinate resistance on his part. He was attack ed on the 15th, the fame day on which the attack was made upon the Duke of York. For that day, and the next,his troops sustained the fliock of the enemy, but on the 17th were obliged to give way with very considerable loss. The accounts from Holland are molt alarming. The Duke of York is said to have pasTed Nimeguen, and to be evi dently on his retreat across the Rhine : while, by the last movement of Clairfait, he seems al<o to be on the route tocrofs the fame river. What may be the con sequences of this complete furreoder of the field to the French our intelligent reader* will readily fee. The poflcffioa of Holland, which nothing Could have giyen to the French but the guilt & fol ly of our minilters, will add to the mar ine of our enemy such powei a* miift tremendous, particulaily when we con sider the situation & extent of the coast and ports from which this additional force will issue. If already have committed such devaftatioH ontfehorth seas, what mult be the our trade, when to such a length <f coast they add the shipping, the fkfll, and the industry of the Dutch ? We may then be reduced to the melancholly situ ation, when even ourarillocrats will not ohje£t, in Parliament, to the cutting ot canals, as there will be no other means of supplying London with coals.
