army 60,000 prifoners, 26 generals, all their cannon, colours, amunition, Sec. fell into his hands. The number of Auftrians left dead on the field was not known ; the lofs of the French was very trifling. The emperor of Auftria, it was reported had returned to Vienna from the army. We leave thefe reports to be digefted by our readers. The tranllations from the Dutch papers will be confidered more probable. The difpatch fhip Mentor capt. Ward, had been in France 3 or 4 weeks, and it was ftatedina letter from France, received at Amfterdam, that mr. Armftrong, our minifter at Paris, was to return to America in the Mentor. No further relaxation had taken place in the French decrees. The fhip, Virginia, brings out difpatches for government, fop pofed to be in reply to thofe which went out in the Mentor, to mr. Armltrong at Paris The prefident's proclamation announcing the reftoration of commerce between this country and Great Britain was received at Fayd previous to the failing of the Eagle. It was received moft welcomcly. The archduke Charles ordered feveral ot his general officers to be fliot, whom he fufpected of treachery.
