Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12,1796, Extract of a letter from Barbadoes, dated Bth January. " The market in this island will not answer for a single article we have on board but the beef (fay 16 dollars) which we are not at liberty to land. We have by coming too ootained the best information that could possibly be had, and find that no'portinthe Weft-Indies will answer so well as Tobago or Trini dada. Martinique is merely glutted with flour, and they are fending it to this port and felling it out by the single barrel at 14 dollars. There wis an American vessel here a few days ago laden with flour, and fold it at i»dol!a:%per barrel. There is at present in this place, two vessels from Baltimore, laden entirely with it, an I have been here,fat a number of days, without being ible to dispose of • single barrel, nor have they had r.ll offer. " There has a part of the troops arrived here, that are to go-againft Guadaloope, and the remainder of them with the fleet are dropping in daily; but flill it willhave no go«4-effe£l if we should remain here, but cjuite the contrary ;as the Governor has hinted to the merchants that he will lay an embargo oil all vessels that are in port after the fleet is collected, for the fpa>e of thirty days, so as to prevent any communication between the iflandi. The number of troops that are expeftedout, will be about 47,000 strong. Therefore we have concluded to fail this evening. Government hive made large fpeculatioes in flnur to the southward, it is coining in daily* The produce of this island is 'very Wgh."

Wilson, who also dispatched the revenue cutter, with a detach ment of militia in pursuit of the Diana. NEW THEATRE, A' new fpeflacle was on Wednesday evening given to the audience, in the ballet of the " War rior's welcome hame" highly interesting to the feel ings of Americans, and cafditablt to the industry and genius of Mr. Francis.

November 23. •We this morning received Paris Journals to the 20th inft. inclufiva (last Friday.) From these papers &e learn, that the mod dreadful distress prevails in Paris, and some commo tions have taken place in conftquenee. In many of the fedtions, the unhappy people are wholly without bread, and the pr ice of every other arti cle continues mounting to a most enormous and unprecedented height. The Louis d'Or on the 20th was 3100.' Coffee was iSolivresper pound. Hamburgh fusjar 175. Marseilles Coap 150 Can dles 100. The papers in our pofftffion lay, that the approach ot winter, and ths rigours of that season, have cxcited in that capital a molt dread ful inquietude. In the fitting of the Council of Five Hundred of the 22d Btumaire, a meflage was received from the executive directory, dating, that ever lince their inltallation, thejr had been occupied on the important objedt of fobfiftences : that they had found that part of the public administration in such a slate, that the wants of the following day could not with certainty be fupp'ied. They prepofed that an immediate requisition should be made in Lhe communes furroundmg Paris, of 250,000 quintals of corn. It was observed by some members that a precise law in the new consti tution ha'd abolifbed requisitions ; but notwith (landing this, it was determine.! that the depart ments of Seine, and others adjoining Paris, should b* summoned to furnifh the aiove quantity of corn wiihin three days, under very heavy penalties. lj6 to 158 per cent. L'Ecl.il- of the 20th init. has the following ar ticle relative to the armies od the Rhine : " Th« army of the Rhine has at lait effedted its jmiftion with that of the Sambte and Meufe, at CreutKiiHch. The division of the Austrian atmy whii h palled the Rhine, is at Alecy, and found itfelt taken in the rear by the two united armi's, which ate placrd between it and the Rhine. We every inltant expect the news of a dccinve a&ion." We refer our readers to the official bulletin of the Austrian generals, for the mod fatisfa&ory ac count of their operations subsequent to thofc which we have before detailed. Briflol 72 Bo it an 12 Lisbon 42 New-York 3 Falmouth Jamaica Amsterdam By a lettet from Basle of the 14th, it is said that on the night of the 13th Ger.. Clairtayt had taken thrfort of the Rhine Letter* from Holland state, that the ferment continues at Amsterdam, where evety day new troubles bteak out. At Nimeguen, the whole municipality have re figncd. An infurre&ion has taken place in that city : many houfet were pillaged, and a gtcat num ber of persons killed. By accounts jult received from Leghorn, it ap >cars, that the intelligence of a fleet of Spanilh hips having joined the French squadron under Ri :hery, is wholly destitute of truth. The number of troops on board the fleet which ately failed for the Well Indies, but which was "oJeverely damaged in the storm on Tuesday night, was 16,179 efFeflive min, besides about 300 on the sick lift ; most of whose comjilaints, however, wwe of a trivial nature. The fleet at Cork, has 36 traops of dismounted light cavalry, of 80 men each troop ; which, with General Perryn's corps, which comprises 3,000 men, chiefly Hungarians, with Irish officers, which were raised on the conti nent, will make the whole force intended for the Weft-Indies, amount to between 26 and 27,000 men. The horses to be employed on this occasion are mostly Polifli.; all of which thrive amazingly on (hipboard ; they get fat in situations where o ther hoifes generally pine and die. Gen. Perryn is to have eigbt pieces of flying ar .tillery, and a considerable part of his corps is to November 21 ready } but what eATeS our lat# difa#ws rtiay otrt*-*. lion in the dispatch of this expedition, we knoiv not.

The Brunfwick of 74 guns, and the Charon of 44 guns, arrived this day from Quiberon Bay. They Biing nothing new frorti the fleet. November 22 Four 44 gun (hips are appointed to carry the troops and llores to th« Weft-Indies, intlead of the Commerce de Marseilles, (he having been found in the late gale unfit for that service. „ This day anived the men of war which failed with the oatward bound {hips. Almost the whole of the fleet are bow again at St. Helen's, and as most as them have received damage in the late gale, theyaie ordered to Spithead loiepair. They will not be ready again f»r fevers! days. DOVER, Nov. 17 A number of pafTcngers landed this morning from the Two Sifters, Capt. Schoutted, from Ca lais. Bv this veflel we have the ÜBplesfnnt intelli gence, that on Saturday morning last, three En glish transports from Embden, wrh about 600 foreign troops on board amongst whom were a number of emigrants, ran on shore near. Calais j about 200 are fuppofcd to be drowned by the vio lence of the sea. Several emigrants jumped over, board and were drowned, to escape falling into the hands of their countrymen. FRANKFORT, November 8. Officii] Bulletin of the Operations of the Imperial Armj tender the orders of General Count IVurmfer. • Head-quarters at Seckenhclm, Nov. 1. AS the enemy had undertaken important wotka upon the Galgenberg, before Majiheim, and by j their means and the three bridges which they, had upon the Necker, they make waim lotties up on our position, I determined, without waiting tor the artilletY.of tiege, which was on its march, to surprize the enemy, by (torming the entrenchments they had conllru&ed, and to take a very important polition for the operations of the siege. This ex pedition was executed on the 29th at night, with the greatefi success. General Mcfzaros command ed the whole attack, General Quofdanowich being indifpofcd. At seven o'clock the columns advanced at the fame time, tlndsi the command of Generals Baron Mnz'os and f'rolich; they, attacked the French camjj ti>abl!flied for the pio«£tioa of their entrench ment*, confiding of three battalionj. The entrench ments were scaled, and our troep* rendered them itives midlerruf the cannon found,there }-aiid loon after, in pursuing the enemy, they penetrated the redoubt of the Necker, the cannon of which they spiked, not being able to carry them off, on account of the briik gjape-fhot firing of the enemy. At the fatjie time Lieutenant Colonel General La Tour, advanced with fotme battalions on the left bank of the Necker, in" order to attai k The enemy on that fide. Although t'ne coi.queft of the j redoubt of the Necker was not comprized in the commanded dispositions, and was only the effect of the impetuous bravery of the troops, yet this for tunate circumstance has, for the moil part, contrt buted to obtain the general object ; partictilarl) firtce the troops maintained thcmlelves iix hours in ihis redoubt, during the moll violent firing ofgrape fhut, and by this m»ans attrascd the attention of the enemy. The works were carried on during the attack on Galgenberg, by General Bator Laurr ; the trenches there were finifhed the next morn in;, notwithllandiug the continual firing of the enemy ; it was then that our troops entered into the redoubt of the Necker, since this horn work, open and ,ex pofcd to the concentred filing from the fortificati ons of the town, could not be maintained without the facrifice of a great number of men. What "made tliefe engagements more glorious, was, that in the very field of battle news arrived of .he brilliant vic tory Mailhal Clairfayt had gained over the enemy before Mentz. . OFFICIAL BULLETIN Of the operations us the Imperial Army under the orders of Field Mavfltal Count de Clairfayt, No- vember 4. General Count Naiiendorff advanced on the 2d ps this month, 011 the fide of Monthenn and Kir« cuheim, to reconnoitre the corps of General Piche gru and Chaflet, polled tu their environs; and he fell in, opposite to Stetten and lverfheim, with the advanced guard of the enemy, which had likewise come forward. Lieutenant Colonel Zuark, of the Hufiars of Blankenftein, vigouroufly attacked the enemy, and dispersed the infantry, after the cavalry had fled. A lieutenant, a sergeant and 45 men were made prifonets, and many more killed.
