HAGUE, March 4.

An account has been received of a complete victory gained over the French at Venlo, by Prince Frederick of Brunswick. The circumstances of this action are not yet accurately detailed; but it is said that 1500 Frenchmen are taken prisoners, with 22 pieces of cannon.

The city of Maestricht is raised.

The tide of affairs begins to change. The immense force of the empire begins to get in motion, and its force will be found irresistible.

Dumourier has withdrawn himself from before Williamstadt: it is conjectured in consequence of the news of such signal defeats as his colleagues have experienced. He has retired to the distance of a league from the fortress. If he is not expeditious in retiring out of the Dutch territory, it is more than probable that his retreat will be entirely cut off; for the victorious allies and the two princes above named will pour in upon him and surround him.

The effect this intelligence has had in Holland, is inconceivable. The people before merely calmly determined to sacrifice their lives for their country, now they look forward to victory and revenge, for the unprovoked aggression of the French, and the evils which it has brought upon a part of their country.
