Letters, and particularly the official ac counts from Wa.-lavf, of the 9th 111 ft.— give the irioft ample detail* o'f the cir ciimflances attending the retreat of the Prussians on the night bjtween the sth and 6th. Various causes contributed to this re tix-it. i tic infurgcnts in Great Poland not only cut off the fuppli -s of proviflons and a\n nimiiionfrom the army ofhis Prus sian Maj-fly, but also cut off the co utriunl cation betweea thoilier parts of his do ittinioas and his camp, in the environs of which the Poles demoliftied all the streets, attempted to entrap the Prufiians in a number of Grand abat s, which the rub bifli enabled them to form. _ Jn the pursuit, the Prulfians were mi fsrably flaugMered ; the ftrdets through vttjrtich th.-r piffled were covered with the careafes or men and horses. ike enraged Prussians fled like mad dogs, deltroying m their way, »11 the houses of the peasants ; so that the olaces through which they paired are as dreary as a dcfart. Iu theirwarrh to Great Po'and, they have but a rtfdan'choljr profpeA of pene- ! trating into the country, the insurgents having: carried off all the magsxinw and arfonais, and occupied all the ftrorfgplacat in force, and ire firmly determiuedto of the States General. The total want of discipline among the | Brititr? troops has excited remonstrances as doleful an universal, the commander in chief has iflued. from his head quarters at Groefbeck, a general order, dated Sep tember, 1 , to recal the officers and soldiers to their duty. It is hoped that this publi cation and some examples of the just seve rity which it announces, will at length re press such disorder. ROTTERDAM, oaober 7. We were ytftenday much alarmed by several letters from Emmerick and Cleves, which contained the difagreea ble intelligence, that the grand Austri an army, under the orders of General Clairfayt, had again been defeated by the French,' and had been obliged to re treat to Cologne. We hare likewise received the disagreeable intelligence, that the French have crofTed the Meufe, between Venlo and Ruremonde, and o bliged the duke of York to leave his formfer poiit inn, and to fall back to wards the province of Utrecht. This much seems to be certain, that the Rri tifh army has made a retiogade move ment towards the province of Holland, and that the head-quarters of the duke of York are to be transferred to Kuy lenburg. The 88th regiment of foot, as well as the Heflian regiment of Kof poth, which are at present in garrison at Bergen-op-Zoom, have received or ders to join the army ; but the 87th regiment remains in that fortrefs, the the present governor of which is Gene ral Van dei Duin, brother to the gal lant defender of Slays. The Ditfch army has not yet changed its former po sition ; arid it is to be reinforced by the greatest part of the troops which have hitherto remained in Dutch Flanders. In the environs »f Breda and Bergen op-Zoom, small parties are still fuffered to desolate the country, but are tar too infignificant to undertake any thing a gainst those towns. Bois le Due con tinues to deflroy the enemies batteries near Orte and Deuteren, as soon as they' are erepc> of a speedy condufion of peace, give implicit credit to thin unexposed piece of information J but, from a vari ety of oircumflancegj which concur to render it highly improbable, 1 doubt the intelligenc .

The Tutor of a refpeftable Latin School in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, has been difmifled his fitua tfon, fur applying thr Birch to one of our infant Lieutenant- Colonels in the army, who ne 4 lctted lfis e*ercife to play at marbles ! Cf&ober 11 Yefterdav, a ncflcngcr was sent off to Edinburgh frcm the Duke of Port- land's office, Wiih his majefly's moll gracious pardon y the raeffengcr and the mail, is, that lie unfortunate gen. Clairfayt, who af ter his defeat n the neighbourhood of Liege, about four weeks ago, had taken up so gooil a position on the banks of the Roer, as to make him even wish the enemy might assail ltfm, has been again attacked by the enemy, and sus tained a frefh defeat. The eccounts, so far as the particulars are yet known, crossed the Meufe and the Roer, and attacked all the polls of the Aullrian army, from Ruremond down to Juliers and Dueren. These polls were defend ed with great bravery and {kill; but were at length carried by the masses every wheic vidWioni. The Auftrians in consequence were forced to ccofs the Rhine, near Cologne* with the loss of more than ;o'o men—some accounts fay almotl twice that number, with a great part of their artillery and bag gage : so that the French are mailers of almost the whole territories on the weft fide of the Rhine, which may now be coniidered as their eastern boundary. Their next attempt will be againfl the fortrefs of Luxembourg— Maef tricht is alread/ completely inverted, and all communieation with that place may now be considered as entirely cut ©ff; for they have been transfeiing to that quarter the gi eater part of the force which they had in the neighbour hood of Venlo and Ruremond. There is some hope, however, that both Lux embourg and Maeftricht will be able to stand out against all their attempts. The former can hardly lie besieged re gularly, and can only be reduced by famine; the latter is defended by a garnfon of i \,GOO men, under the or ders of gen. Kray, a very expeiienced and brave officer. PORTSMOUTH, Oa«ber 9. The transports with troop! on board for the Well-Indie arc !lij] lying at St. Helen's: the Trudy ot 50 guns.
