Turgot, luti lled, Reflexions ecc alio licit hjr a memorial com municated to the Count de upon the manner in which France and Spain ought to regard the consequences of the quarrel between Great-Britain and her Colonics, dated April, A. D. 1769. I have afterwards diTcuHVd the idea, that we might f#nd, without hollile views, land troops and squadrons into our Colonies, to put them in a liate ot defence, and pretctl them from invaiion. I am bound to prove that this plan ought to be rejected as ruinous, inefficient, and dangerous. As ruinous, because the expence it would occa fi«n, and which mull be continued as long as our fears continue, being added to the aftuai deficiency of the Treasury, would render the eflablifhment impoffibie j because it wuuld become, perhaps, more embarra.'firig to this department, than even the pi'cijefts of war :—Ncceffity authorizing in time of war, the use of extraordinary means, which, in time of peace would become odious, and would Itrike the la(i blow to public credit. As infufficient, becauie England would not un dertake to attack thetwo crowns in America, with out fending there, forces superior to ours, and this power having in America, at leait thirty thousand men, which ihe may, on this fuppolition, transport to any,point ef attack (lie shall cboofe ; it is im possible that the forces, even much more numerous than those we can fend, beijig divided among all the places threatened, can be in any one, in a Hate to refilt an army so numerous. A» dang>-ious, because it would force the Eng lilh minifltr to fend, on his fid?, into America, Iquadrons at leait equal, and to prepare for war in all parts of the ijritiih dominions—because, th:s appearance of war would probably have the fame effedt as war iifelf, in bringing the two par ties to a reconciliation, and provoking the danger we would avoid $ lastly, because the execution of tins plan would encreafe the confidence of Spain, and 1 xpofe us to be drawn into rhe war, in fpi'te «f ourselves. 1 Jiaye concluded that we inufl can [me ourselves to precautions It-fa expensive, and less ap proaching a Hate of holtiiity. Thele precautions .educe themselves to the sol lowing : lit. To obfetve attentively every tiling which can avert the approaches of danger ; to ohferve the coalts of our iHnnds, and the entrance of tlieGnlph of Mexico. This is the object of the cruifeg fpok* en of in the letter of the Marquis dc Griraaidi, and of the orders which will be given, in conformity thereto, to the ihips we have lent to those latitudes. To procure frequent information of every tiling that passes on the Bank of Newfoundland. To oh ferve iu England, the (late of her troops, of ber armaments, ihe fituatian of public credit, and that of the minister. To endeavor to know every thing that partes in the English Colonics ; avoiding, however, every thing that may lead to a fulpicion that we have there any diredt, and chara&erizeif agent. 2dly. To facilitate to the Colonies the means of procuring, by the way of Commerce, ammuni tion, and aifo the money which they want, but without depaiting from neutrality, and withuut giving them diredt succours. 3dly. To establish without noise our maritime forces, to supply our magazines, to refit our ves sels, to put us i:i a (fate of arming quickly, when ever there fhflll be occasion, a squadron at Totilon, and oiteat Brcft, during which, Spain should arm one at Ferrol. In ease we should have well grounded motives to fear a more imminent danger ; to arm affe&ually the squadrons, without differing them to leaye the posts. In caleevery thing should be for ail im mediate war, to collect numerous troops ou the sea coast, and dispose every thing for an expedition i>ito England, to oblige that power to recall her forces, to profit of the moment to fend troops and veflels, either into our Colonies, if it is judged neceflary, or into the Indies where we should he provided beforehand with the means, either in forming leagues with the natives of the country, or in perfecting the cflabh'fliment of our isles of France, and Bourbon, As one part of these precautions would also re quire expences already heavy enough, I believe it elTential to precipitate nothisg; ab»ve all tfiings, a3 relaies to the two last objecls unless we should have realon to believe that this power really intends to attack lis. I cannot terminate this memorial without ma king one observation, which ' 1 think very impor tant on the manner in which we ought, to concert with the court of Spain. No doubt that the in tefella being common, the confidence ought to be entire, and the msaftires adopted i i concert. ißut there is but too much reafoa to believe that r.ngland has, in the Councils of Spain, correfpon i dents who give to her ad«ic< of mod of their im portant secrets. I knnw that the hoflile proje&, concerted be tween the twg miriilteis, if Ido n«t mistake in the year 1766, in consequence of which Mr. 811- carelli had received orders to drive the Ehglifh from t!ie Falkland isles, which was nnt even thought of m Spain, was known to the miniller of England. This is a danger again!! which we should guard i.. the communications we make to Spain. Certainly the communication of every thing, which announc ing the firm resolution of thrf two monarchs, td maintain peace, indicates the fit means to threaten England! diredtly, cannot injure, even when the Brrtifh miniflcr (Trail have knowledge nf them. But every thing which would lead to enterprizes an Minorca or C/ibraltar, to combined meafunes fpr transporting forces into India can hi confided, without danger, only to -the king of Spain, and to Ihe Marquis of Grimaldi, for him alone.

Yesterday about one o'clock, a foreign meiTen j(er arrived express at the secretary of Hate's office, with dispatches from the head-quarters of General Claiitayt before Mayence, dated the 311k ult. con taining m»(l important news ; no less than that of the French being now completely drivm fiom all their polls on the right banks of the Rhine, rxcept Manheim, which is likewise, heyond a doubt, ere this in the polfeflion of the allies. The fallowing is an authentic extract of l'»ie news : On the 29th ult at 6 o'clock in the morning,' Gen. Clairiayt having paftcd the Rhine with his ar my in two different places, attacked the entrenched camp of the French, fituatcd on the left bank of the Rhine, before Mayenee, Their camp before Mavence on the right hank had been previously carried on the 13th. Nothing could equal the ar dour of the Auftri;.n troops, slushed with a series of victories fur the lall !$ days. This camp the French deemed impregnable, and had employed all their talents and resources to raise it. It was defended by 150 pice sofcannon. As f<>on as the Auftiiao artillery had in i'ome meafurc fiienced the Frenchbatteries, the fine Hungarian cavalry daflu'd among the columns sf the enemy, and in three hours the camp ivas carried, The cavalry gave 110 quarter. The Daughter among the French 'was immense ; as, after the fir ft entrenchments were carried, they took to a precipitate flight. They lett from 50 to 60 pieces of cannon is their camp ; near 5000 mert are supposed to be (lain, 2700 were made prisoners, among whom are two Generals ; 114 Caiffons'were taken, besides all their baggage and ammunition employed in the siege. In the course of the following day, and the 31ft, about 50 moi J e pieces of cannon were taken, which the French had ieft 011 the roads, not being able to carry them off, making altogether one hundred and fix pieces of choice artillery. The loss of the Auftrjans is calculated at 1000 men, but is fuppof, ed to be ; among whom are two of their Ge uertiU killed. The French have retired under the walls ®f Lan dau ; and the, Audiians were, on ihe 31ft ult. at Krcutznach and Oppenheira, on the left bank of the Rhine, and, as our readers will perccive by the map, is at r.o great diftarice from L>andau. .When the courier left Mayence, 700x3 peafints were employ ed in razing the works thrown up by the French in their entrenched camp. Oji the jjih there was another a&ion between General Count Wurmfer, who commands tiie be fn-pi.ijf arir.y U-fsre Manheim, and ihe garrison ef tiiat place, where the main of Picbejjiu'g ar my ir. polled. The event was equally fuccefsful 10 'he j\uilrianj, who repuited the French, and car ried forward their entrenchmentj to within 300 toifes of tilt city. D'llfjldorff hits been evacuated by the French ; and thus, cxceptipg Manbeim, Vrhichwas expeftet) to surrender by the 4th iridaut. the French have not now one inch of territory on the right banks of the Rhine. According to a letter from Stockholm of the 23d nit. we learn, that 011 the 18th an attempt was made at Drotningholm to afTaflinate the Duke Regentof Sweden, a piiiol shot l»ving been fired at him, which however miffed the prince, but wounded W.s aid de camp The author %ad not been difcovercj when the above letter came away ; hut it was not thought likely that he would be able to effiflhis escape, a 1? Drotningholm is situated on an island, and all poilible measures were adopted to prevent any one from leaving it without a paflport signed by the Governor. The fame letter adds, thut admiral Count Wachtmeifter hss been arielted on his arrival on a chargs of mifcondtact in his late command of the combined Swcdifli and Danish flee's. The Aulliiar.s arrived before Franckfort very opportunely. It was only ou the nth of Oflober that the French demanded of the magistrates of that city a contribution of fifty thousand rations of bread, and one million of florins. The magistrates applied to Prince Hbkenlohe for aarice ; bur such wes the critical lituatioftof affairs, that the Prince would not adrift- them to refill the demand. On the next day, Franckfort was relfeved from this emergency. Machtme de la Fayette has icached Vienna with her two daughter's.

[Extrafi of a private Idler, j " I (hall delay uo longer answering your questi ons asd remarks concerning Field Marflial Clair fait's late retreat from the Rhine, as the circum ftanccs which hitherto forced me to remain silent oil this fiibjcft, no loader exist. , " Jourdan had crofled the Rhine near DulTel dorf. The army, commanded by the field Mar (hal, wfs uMiged to keep up the communication with the army on the Upper Rhine, and to fu.p port its operations. The executive line which he had .t.o defend, from Kappel to Angerbach, was" ex posed to the most eminent danger, efpcci»lly its : ri;.rht wing, which eould not be apfuyrd ; and, for tliis reason, was immediately forced to fall back. By calling in all the indifferent detatchments, the field Marshal succeeded with the utmost difficulty, iH.iflemblinjr, behind the Latin, an army of 30,000 •Mfeny 20,000 of whom were Auftrians. This fnfrall army was in danger of being furroiitided by the enemy, wbo'by their march to Welburj; and eilar, threatened the upper Meyn. '♦It was, therefore,only on theplain near Franck fort, that a battle could be offered or accepted, an 4 -there the Field Marshal Was determined to ejjv pesUhe enemy, notwithstanding their great ftipi * 5i CO'tf i'A-TO.wi LO±i GV riority in number*.

" Heidelberg, tlic yreat depot of cur atrnici, was protected only by weak detach riirir. s, becaule Maiiheim was to aff.>rd it tins uruitgbft protection.

For this r..-albr., tlu Fii!d Maifhal crofTtd the Mey;i, and left only a corps near Afchaftenbiirgh, to obttrvc ti'he movements ot General Jourdan's army. " After his arrival a: Darmfladt, the Field Mar (hal proceeded immediately to Weinhu'm, in order to prepare the operations which he had in view, and to maintain this point, on which itity all de pended, even at the hazard of a battle which he in tended to give on both banks of the Necl<cr, and then to crois the Meyn. Geneeal Qtuifdanovick afforded the Field Maifhal, by his victory, means and time to call in the itrong deiaihmcius witU which he had reinforced the pull of Heidelberg.— This being done, the plan of civffing the Meyn was carricd into cfleft, in order tt> give battle to Jourdan, whole whole army would have been des troyed, had he for only two days delayed the pre cipitate retreat to which he was 'forced by our Mu- nceuvres. *• Thas, the bulliai>t operations of our arr.v, the effcfts they have produced, and their bcneiicul in hilts for the whole German Empire will foim belt apology for the Field Marfiial's conduct.''

Our advanced guaid proceeded a!«ng the left Bank of that fmali rivei, and menaced' the le.t wing of the Frefich army. Tlie toads beinj> al. molt impracticable, tlieartilleiy couM not be kro't up, so that the action which was meant for the 14th was poftponcd. On the 1 2.h, General Jourdan at'.ackcd our poll on the Nidda repeatedly,,;>nd with grvat iR-.pcturh ty. Constantly repulied, he retreated during 1 tie night to the Mountains of Konigllein, after hav ing 101 l J 500 men, chiefly (hraghtered bv cur bat teries on the other f(dc of the Mein. The advanced guard of the army pursued Jour dan towards Hombpurg, Efch, Huhnetkirch, and Wi/baden. The garrison «>t Mentz made a sortie, coasting along the Rhine to Eilfeld and Wilbaden. It took several magaxines, pontoons, and at:ijlcr-y w:iggons, made many prisoners, and obtaiucd pyf. session of all the baggage. General Nauendorff eroded the Mein oppoiite Hoeehft, and made fuctt speed, that in the environs of Hockheim, he took several guns, and 16 field waggons, together with 300 prisoners. The corps die rcfetve encamped en that day at Hombourg, General Haddick did the fame at Uiingen, and General Kray at Oherurfd, after having thrown a garrifoii into Krjnigfteirj which the enemy had evacuated.

Gcntr;.l Kray found El'ch well supplied 'with French troops and prepared for an attack. Notwithltanding an obitinate defence, and the fuperioiity of their ad. verfaries, our brave troops were at length fucccfsfiil, after fiveral atteiiipts, and took poflefiion of this iuterelling poil. The enemy, with the loft of 600 men, were driven beyond Obe'rfelters, at which place General Kray formed an e3can:pmrnt.
