" LONDON, Sept. 27.
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.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 2;.
The firm and dccided tone of the Pre
lidcnt's address to Congress, in favour of
the prefeut constitution of the United
Stales, must damp the ardor of its foes,
and giv„- vigor to the courage and energy
of its friends. That good man, •ho
refigiitd all the pleasures of domestic pri
vate life, for the toils, the trouble* and
uixicties of the fii ft itarioii in govern
ment, and whole fidelity, integrity, pa
iriotifm and republican principles have
rtjfiile,! almost the tongue of calumn/ it
f,K, ihat inflexible pat; lot, as lur. juie as
lie is brave, now finds it necessary open
ly and pcrfonally to espouse the cauic of
government against the disorganizing
principles which have lately been fowrv
in this free and flourilhing country. He
has doubtless experienced the iuefficacy
of temporizing expedients; and that it
istimeto try the ftrepgth of a good con
iiitution and law agaioll the intriguei of
anarchists and factions. • *..
He fees the mischievous tendency of ft If
created locicties, and very openly cxprei
fes his disapprobation of their proceedings.
He fees, as all Atnericans may fee, that
the fadiions', blpodlhed and violence that
have disgraced the proceedings of the con
vention of France the year past can be
traced toa fihgle source, tho infliietlce of 1
the Jacobir. Club over of Paris; and it is-'
with pleasure we.find the father pfhis cour -
try lifting his personal influence to difcoun
ttnance fjich pernicious institutions. It is
wiJi t'qual fatisfa<Stion we'f-e his recom
mendation to Coiigrefs tp provide for re
ducing our public debt, and for indemni
fying the fsfferers by the late rfots in P.nn
fylvania. These articles ps his address,
together with the a durances of his eudca
vourstp dojulticcand live.in peace with
allnations, are propfs that, unfaeinated
with ppwer and diftiniflion, he remains'
the incorruptible patriot and retaips all bis
virtues in his public flatipn.
Worfeand Worse.
The Seriate, in their answer (p the Pre
lldent's address, give their ppinipn, that
the proceedings ps lelf created societies are
calculated, if not intended, to disorganize
