LATE

Important Intelligence;

DIRECT FROM FRANCE.

Tuesday evening arrived in this port, schooner--, Capt. Runey, in 45 days from Havre-de-Grace. By this arrival we have received a file of Paris papers, &c. up to the 22d. of September. The late hour, however, last evening at which we were favored, by a French gentlemen, with these papers, rendered it totally impossible to give a full translation from them, for this day. 'They are now in the hands the translator, and copious extracts from them we shall give in our next.

From a cursory perusal of the papers, and the corroborating testimony of two French gentlemen passengers, we are able to give the following important particulars of the repeated success of our Republican Allies, over the armies of the combined Despots.

It appears that the French troops triumph throughout the Republic-That the army under the Duke of York, has been totally defeated in several engagements, which took place before and after the 8th of Sept.- That Gen. Houchard. victoriously pursued them to Furnes, [the place from which Sir James Murray directed his last dispatches dated the 9th,] which place the combined troops evacuated, leaving behind their artillery, and to amount to 128 pieces of different sizes, a great quantity of ammunition, warlike stores, provisions. small arms, &c. The loss of the combined armies in the engagement of the 8th, and several after, was reported to amount to upwards of 9000-That the Duke of York had, through the intrepidity and courage of a regiment of dragoons, escaped, though much wounded, to Ostend ; to which place the French were pressing, and it was reported before the schooner left Havre, that the tri-coloured flag, was displayed from the tower and steeples of Ostend-That a part of Gen. Houchard's army had marched towards Quesnoy, against that of the Prince of Saxe Cobourg, who was near that place, and in such a situation, that it was expected he could not fail of being compleatly Burgoyned.

TO ULON.

Gen. Carteau at the head of 60,000 men had taken a position on the heights which commanded the forts and port of Toulon ; by his letter to the national Convention he assures them, that the English fleet at Toulon, cannot escape from a total destruction, which he expected to accomplish in 48 hours, if they did not surrender.

THE PRUSSIAN ARMY,

Had received several checks near Alsace, where the Republican army have had the greatest success.-The French Patriots had given a severe drubbing to the Spaniards, towards the Pyrenees, and that the insurgents in Vendee are almost entirely destroyed.

THE CONSTITUTION

Had been accepted by ALL the departments ; and provisions of every sort, were plenty throughout the Republic.

Upon the whole, the affairs of our Republican friends and allies appear much brighter than at any time since the Revolution--their enemies appear every where flying before them--their late internal commotions seem entirely quelled-the recruits are numerous beyond their most sanguine expectation-and we have no doubt, but that at this moment, unless peace is declared, (which we fondly anticipate and hope soon to announce) there are no less than a million of men in arms in France ; and that the combined forces have entirely quitted that Republic.

On the above important and agreeable intelligence, we congratulate our Republican friends, and doubt not they will unanimously respond, long live the French Republic !---and may their alliance with America be perpetual !
