FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
NEW-YORK, September 3.
Yesterday arrived the Liverpool Packet,cap
tain Bebee, in 48 days from Liverpool ;
by whom ihc London Daily Advntife r
and the London Gazette to 9th July in
clusive have been received at the Oißce of
the Daily Advertifer—beiog the latefl
Wiiich the Packet brings.
6£7- they contain nothing relative to
Our Comnv'ffi ners to France
"The determination of the Cabinet ms Vi
enna, on the fubjedt of the armift ce and a
leparate Peace with France, hud not yet
been received. The prdbabilirics seem to
lean towards an immediate pacification bet
France and Austria. For besides the
difaftrotis battle of Maringo in Italy, the
Auftri.ins have been also defeated by Moreau
on the Rhine (fee his del il.) The sub
sequent advantages which it is said lie has
obtained, must have en bled him to open a
communication wiihihe army of the enemy
by forei g the pafles of the Tyrol. This
critical fitnation must oblige the Empetor
to tnake the bell terms he can with the vic
tprious Chief Confil, Meantime his wishes
seem to be aid the passionate vow? of the
whole French nation with whom he is po
pular and evidehtly defirei to remain fl.
c. rtainly are for peace. ' n his return to
Paris, in thro' Lyons, Buonaparte
exclaim d, " rhortiy I Jhope, the commerce
of this cjty, of which all Furope was once
so-proud, will resume itt forme-prnfperity ''
Nothing but a profpeft of a peace wiih
England, who Buonaparte knows hoiß the
scale of commerce and empire of the sea,
fcould give buoyancy to a hope like this—
But how can England make an honourable,
a secure and dun le peace, while France,
her natural and implacable enemy, occupies
Belgium—maintains an ascendancy in Hol
land— preserves her German and Italian
conquests and keeps pofTeffion of Egypt and
Malta ? To resolve this iaterefting queftioti
England seems to be waiting to fee what
jneafuree may be adopted by the Continen
tal Courts ; by that of Vienna, whicb is at
prtfent <n a fuuation so extremely critical,
And by thofc «f the North, vhofe quadrup t
a liancc mud have so great an influence on
the question of Peace or War, and on the
formation of a General Cangreft for re ef
tablifhi' g the balance of Power in Europt.
The latter mea'ure is now become indispen
sably neceflary ; for the Treaty of Weft
phaiia. which maintained that baUuce for
nearly two centuries, can no longer fervc
as a basis, f nce every part of the political
edifice o! Europe has been overturned bj the
French revolution.

The French papers which arrived yefler
day, gave the lie direA to a dadiing evening
paper of Saturday, and to all the Sunday
print: which were the.dupes of its alTri uons.
Buonaparte has returned to Paris, but bas
not brought the preliminaries of peace in bit
p cket.
That he is Imcerely disposed to negociate
no: only with Audria, but with England,
we have good reafoii to believe. In a letter
written by him, from Lyons, on his way to
the capitol, he lays, tliat'he is ntcefTarily
deuined ai day at that city, having engaged
to'Tiy the firll flone of the celebrated ftpiarr
Delle-cour, that had been dellroyed during
the revolutionary mania, but which he has
or n given to tinderftand will be built in
two years.
The answer of the court of Vienna had
not reached Paris on Thurfjay last, but it
was waited for with Impatience, and expeft
ed to be favourable.
The mod important news in the Paris pa
pers is the official confirmation of the Tele
graphic dispatch refpedting the victory ob
taiiied by Moreau over the Autlrians near
Blenheim ; and further Telegraphic infor
mation of subsequent advantages gained by
the army of the Rhine.
It is said, that soon after the aftion of the
2id ult. Gen. Krav wrote to Moreau, pro
pofrng an armistice, to which the French
G-neral answered, " that he had no autho
rity for bib a measure, nor any official in
telligence relative to \yhat had lately pafled'
in Italy." The latest positions of the French
army, on the.other fide of the Danube, were
at Aalen, Nordlingen, Bopfingen, and the
advarced guard within half a league of Hey
denheim !
■ A battle, as decisive as that which lately
took place in Italy, it is believed has before
this been fought on this theatre of war.
Several Journals of June 29 assert, that
the Auftmnsin the Brifgau and before Kehl
are gone to rejoin general Kray,.who is dis
posed to evatuate the whole-os Suabia, and
retire into Fra iconia* The French h ;ve
recaptured Offenbotirgh, tu elve miles from
Kehl. Genoa has been evacuated.
The Gazette de France of June 28 pnfi
tivrly contradicts the report of the vidtory
obtained over the Englilh at Quiberon.
On Saturday hie Msjefty's ministers held
a Cabinet Council, which fat until 4 vefler
day morning, in confequ-nce of dii'patches
brought on the preceding diy by the courier
from Lord Minto, which are said to be con
ditionally pacific.

every'tool a 5 percent, -debenture, and a
Treasury bill of 5 per cent, payable in 1803,
for 151 js with a discount of .5 percent, on
anticipated payments.
A duel is said to have been fought betweep
the Austrian General Stzarray and the Wir
teniburgh General Hugel. The former, we
hear, has received two sword wounds. It ori
ginated, according to report, in violent re
proaches made by M. Hugel again (I General

Obit-wing that the Anftr'mn army heir
1 then resolved to pass the Danube, below
Ulm, and by that means separate the ene
my ftom bis magazines at Dortowert and
Ritifton, to force him to a battle, or to
leave the place- TJiis determination was
daiigeious and difficult : we had neither
bridgei nor boats ; the enemy haddeftroyeti
all thtir bridges, and fun It the boats.
I !vid reinforced Gen. Lecourbe with
five battalions, and five regiments of caval
ry, and he was charged to seize one of the
bridge' over the Danube, between Dillengen
and Dtnawcrt..
Tbil movement was executed by this
General, with a bilinels meriting the grea- ,
test edogium. After making sure of the
polls ot' Landberg and Augsburg, and leav
ing a AilEcient nuivber of troops to secure
his Prince Reufo, Rationed in
tlie Tyro), and whom the Generals Millitor
and had beaten every time he offer
ed tr> General Lecourbe approach
ed Diilingen, Blenheim, and Hochiladt.
The corps of Gen. Grenier I had ported
with their right to the Danube and Gun-'
fbourg, and their left at Kifilldorf, Gen.
Richepaufe polled upon the two shores of
the liler, covered the road from Ulm to
Memmingen, and kept open our communi
cation with Hclvetra, though much annoy
ed by the enemy's parties. The 3 diviiions
of elerve under my orders were between
Camlacar.d Mindel, appointed to support
the attack made by Gen, Lecourbe In cafe
he succeeded, or the attack of General Gre
nier upon Gunfoourg, in cafe the firfl
(iould fail.
Such was the situation of the army on
the 19th Prairial—After fevaral attempts
tley forced the enemy to fall back upon
Ulm. Qeneral Lecourbe made several feint
attacks this day upon the bridge of Diilin
gen ; but in consequence of the reports
brought him by his reconnoitring parties,
he determined -so make serious attacks next
day upon the bridge of Greqlheim, Blen
heim and Hocbeftadt. 1
Elphty-tour naked swimmers, armed on
ly with their fufils and cartouch boxes,
which they towed aftee ibem in for. 11 boats,
■ feiied upon the villages of Grenlheim and
Blenheim, and took several pieces from the
Auftrianj, afterwards fcrved by our gunners
that palled the river upon ladders, from the
broken extremety of the bridge.
Here both our parties maintained' >em
| selves with extraordinary courage, while
the Sappers and Pontonnitrs were at work
under tlje enemy's fire in repairing the
other bridges, over which the reinforce
ments were to pass, to oppose the reinforce
ments the eoemy were pouring upon every
point where the objeA of our Bttack was
j evident. The 94th demi brigade pal Ted
I next in order to the swimmers, and coura
! geoufly kept pofleffion of the villages of
| Creaflieim, Blenheim, Lattger.au and Scha
vingen, where General Marigni was flight
|ly wounded. This half brigade, however,
found much difficulty to support themselves
in fpiie of their utmost exertions, till a vi
gorous charge was mrde in their favor by
citizen Crimblot, with the firll regiment ot
cavalry ; and being joined by a platoon of
i the Bth Hulfars, belonging to General Le
courbe's escort, they overthrew a body of
the enemy's cavalry, three times their num.
ber, took fix pieces of cannon. 250 horses
and several llandards. Four pieces of ar
tillery, sent as a refrrve, were also taken.
Almost all the enemy's corps, from Dona-
I wert, were destroyed. General Laval's
bri ade went in pursuit ; still a corps trom
; Hochiladt and Dcllingen made a Hand, till
i repeated charges wore made by the Carabi
neers, the Curaffiers, and Huflars, who
also made about 2000 prisoners, some can
; non. and llandards.
The enemy's forces now began to augment
considerably—troops arrived from Ulm, but
the bridges of Dillingen and Lavingen being
quite repaired, it admitted thedivifions Grand
gean and Decaen to join with their cavalry in
uniting in the last charge upofl the enemy, with
about 4CCO horse, the Imperialists being de
feated and driven beyond the Drente, we
made oarfelvTS masters of the post of Gun
delfingen. The 6th chauffeurs, distinguished
themselves in this affair. The reft of the di
visions, and that of Le Clere, passed rapid
ly the Danube, and immediately formed in
such a manner as to repulse the efforts we ex
pefied the enemy would make the next day.
Gen. Grenier was equally well prepared to
pass the Danube at Gunzburg, but the ene
my, who had previously cut the arches of the
bridge, substituting pitch, straw, and other
combustibles, set fire to the fame as soon as
they saw the swimmers throw themselves into
the water. —Some of the latter had the teme
rity to go and attempt to quench the flames,
under the fire of the enemy's cannon, but
this was impoflible. On the following day,
Gen. Grenier's division approached Lavin
gen, and Gen. Richepauce prepared to invest
Ulm, as soon as the enemy fiiould have a
bandoned that place, leaving only a small gar
rison.

Thcfe battles have been fought upon the
too famous theatre of Houchftadt or Blen

(Here Gen, Moreau, severally praises
the Generals, &c. who distinguished them
selves.)
The lols of the enemy, without including
the killed and wounded, is about 5000 pri
soners, 20 pieces or cannon, and 5 stand
ards. The next day, the 6th regiment of
chafieurs took a convoy of 300 carnages load
ed with grain. Gen. Kray has quitted Ulm,
and is marching, they fay to meet us. We

CORK, July 3.
The firftof July.—At no period of these
eventful times were our peaceful fellow
citizens forced to witness such scenes ef riot
and intemperance as disgraced this c:ty 011
Tuelday last. It would seem as if the de
mon of discord had fetit forth from the re
gions of hell its infernal imps to loose the
ties of social order, and tear asunder the
bonds of 'friendly intercourse. Nor in ad
verting to these painful c rcuniftances, ean,
we console ou.felves by charging them to
the account of thoughtless infelence or trai}«
lient phrenzy. No; they.carried with them,
evident marks of deliberate malice and pre
meditated outrage. They were not con fi-.
Ned to any cne part or division of the city ;
they spread terror and difnuy through every
flreet and avenue of it. We would be led;
. to think that some monllers, accnftomed to.

their fellow creatures. Nor age, nor rank,
nor condition, could protea the unoffending
i and defenceless paflenger from the inhuman-, \
ity of tnefe infuriate ruffians. If a filly*
servant maid without thought or
appeared in the llreets with a green nbb:ins

tunate head, ar.d if (he fled for proteil.on
