CONFIRMATION.

From M'Lane's (New-York) Paper.

NEW-YORK, AUG. 27.

Yesterday afternoon arrived here, after a passage of 20 days from London, the ship Mohawk, Capt. Allen,

By this arrival, papers have been received to the 4th July. They contain an account of the taking of Charleroi by the French, and the evacuation of Ostend, at which place Lord Moira had landed 8000 men, but was obliged to take them on board again--so that there is not a doubt but the French have taken possession of it.-That the French have taken several other places. That on the 26th of June, the combined armies, under the command of the Duke of York and Prince of Orange, in an attempt to relieve Charleroi, proved unsuccessful, and were driven back to Brussels, with great loss, and, that in general, the French "carried all before them."-The London Gazette accounts of the above; we shall lay before our readers to-morrow.

MORE PARTICULAR.

[From Greenleaf's Journal of the same date.]

Late last evening arrived at this port, the ship Mohawk, Capt. Allen, in 50 days from London, and the ship Prudence, Capt. Palmer, in 45 days from Londonderry.

Capt. Palmer was so obliging as to conduct the Editor on board (in the stream) late in the evening, and to supply him with his latest papers, from which we shall give full details in the second JOURNAL EXTRA, to be issued about noon, this day.

In the mean time we cannot omit extracting the few following paragraphs from the Northern Star of July 7, as a foretaste of the approaching feast :-.

LONDON, July 1.

[From the Courier.]

"Early on the morning of the 26th a general attack was made on all the French posts. The conflict was one of the most obstinate,that has taken place since the commencement of the war. It lasted until late in the afternoon, when the allied army, BEATEN IN EVERY PART, were forced to RETREAT with all their cannon to Halle, which is almost 30 miles distant from the field of battle.

"The consequences of the defeat are obvious. Charleroi immediately surrendered. and the French, pushing on to Brussels. have it said, reduced the Prince of Cobourg to the necessity of retreating from Halle, and of leaving Brussels to its fate.

"The governor and the principal persons had removed to Antwerp on the day after the battle.

"Last night, we have reason to believe, authentic accounts were received by government of the EVACUATION of BRUSSELS, which, it is supposed, is now in the possession of the French.

."It would be absurd to deny, that the Duke of York is in a perilous situation. His position at Renaix, is defended by a wooden front, and another in the rear, but his force does not amount to more than 12000 men, and the enemy in immense numbers are in front, on one of his flanks. and in the rear.

"The garrisons of Valenciennes,Conde, and Quesnoy, are, it is said to be withdrawn, and these places given up to the enemy.

"All communication with Ghent and Bruges, being now cut off, our letters contain only intelligence relative to Ostend. From that town the Earl of Moira has marched for the purpose of endeavoring to effect a junction with Gen. Clairfayt, who,it was supposed,would be again attacked by the French before his Lordship could reach him."

The following HASTY VIEW, with the above, must serve to alleviate the patience of our readers until noon.

After the surrender of Ypres, of which we have before related, to preserve Charleroi (an advantageous post) the 5 combined armies attempted to form a junction, being severally commanded by Cobourg, Orange, Clairfayt, Beaulieu, and York-in this critical moment, before the junction was completed. the left of Pichegru attacked the right of the enemy in plain field, when a most tremendous conflict ensued ; the enemy's right soon gave way-at that instant a general attack commenced, and, after a carnage which is not recorded in history, for three successive days, the whole combination of despots took to their heels for Brussels, where our accounts leave them in the utmost consternation, preparing for a more secure retreat, The Duke of York however, seems to be sneaking into Holland, by the Scheldt, not having been able, or willing, to join-Cobourg, Clairfayt, and Beaulieu stood the brunt. Charleroi was taken on the 27th-Ostend was evacuated, and a detachment of patriots ordered to take possession of it. Gen. Beaulieu was killed--the slaughter was immense--it was said the enemy were 170,000 strong, and the Republicans 250,000. The Mohawk and Prudence have each 120 passengers.
