The late accounts from France, contain, upon the whole, favorable appearances respecting the cause in which they are engaged, there have been several vain attacks made upon the advanced posts of the Austrians and Prussians, in which they have been generally repulsed with considerable loss; the British and Dutch papers, even mention in terms of surprise and regret, the obstinate resistance made to the operations of the combined armies. General Dampierre is busily employed in organizing the army, which Dumouriez by his treachery had in some measure put in confusion, and from the number of recruits daily coming in, there was every appearance of his collecting a sufficient body effectually to oppose the inroads of the enemy, and perhaps in due time to drive them from the frontiers.
