Aſſiſtance coming to them from-the main army, the Auſtrians were repulſed, and left 2,000 priſoners, and eight pieces of cannon in the hands of the French. Next day Lacourbe marched towards the Lech, and the head quar- ters were removed to Babenhauſen. In theſe movements ſeveral partial ac- tions took platre, and the French made many pritoners. By theſe manœuvres Kray has been completely deceived. Moreau, by ſtopping any reinforce- ments going to Italy, has ſecured the ſucceſs ol the conful in that quarter.

On the 28th June, a&ions took place at Nederſheen, Nordlingen, and Oberhauſen, where General Kray co.nmanded in perſon, and was defeated by Morceau. The enemy were purſued as far as Ingolditat.

Mr. Jefferſon certainly(tands for thé poſt of prefident, and Mr. Waſhington, nephew of their late worthy prehident, for vice preſident. Whether Mr. Waſhington now(ees the error of the late condu& of his party or not,‘this event vill be highly tavourable to Mr. Jefferſon's eleétion, as Mr. Waſhington's friends muſt,“ however, be inclined to withhold their vote for Mr. Adams; otherwiſe they may poll him above their friend, ánd,by that means defeat his eletion, Pickering, the ſecretary of ſtate, who is much attached to the Engliſh, has been femoved. The congreſs of the United Stdtes is to meet this year in the mon!h ot November, at the new city of Waſhington, which is to be the future ſcat of government, Before the congreſs for the laſt year feparated, they ordered twelve regimente of the line to be diſbanded, and the ßanding army of the Republic will then conhilt of one regiment of cavalry» feur of infantry, and two of artillery ouly.
