ABSTRACT OF
Foreign Intelligence.

NEW-YORK, FEB. 19.

BY the British December Mail, which was received here on Monday last, we have the following interesting intelligence:

General DUMOURIER, commander of the French troops investing Toulon, writes to the National Convention, that on the 30th November the English made a sally from that city, and seized some advanced posts; but were repulsed and driven back, with the loss of 1200 men, and General O'HARA, commander of the garrison, taken prisoner. Another account states that O'HARA was not taken, but was wounded.

Official letters from the Duke of BRUNSWICK and General WARTENFLEBEN on the Rhine: state, that on the 28th, 29th and 30th, the French under General HOCHE, 60,000 strong, attacked the Prussian army. The several actions were obstinate and bloody: tho' on the whole the French were worsted. The accounts of the killed and wounded vary. Some make the loss of the French 6000, and others 3 or 4000. The Duke of BRUNSWICK says his own loss is only 200; which we apprehend to be too favorable an account. General KALKREUTH is among the wounded. By the advantages gained on these days, the Duke is enabled to invest Strasburgh.

BRUSSELS, NOV. 29. On the 16th the Prussians made an attack on Bitche, but were repulsed with great slaughter. A battalion of Grenadiers was mostly cut to pieces, and Prince FREDERICK of Prussia received a wound in the shoulder.

Another rencounter took place on the 17th in which the French were repulsed.

On the 18th a severe action was fought between the French and the Austrians under General WURMSER, in the vicinity of Strasburg; and the parties are silent as to their losses.

This was followed by a third action on the 21st, when Gen. Wurmser was attacked in all his positions. The slaughter was prodigious. The Austrians are said to have lost 6000 men; yet they compelled the French to retire to the heights of Saverne.

General Wurmser soon after retired to Haguenau; the French took possession of Bitche castle, Deux Ponts and Luxembourg. But on the 30th they received a check as before stated.

There has been some fighting also on the northern borders of France near Menin, but nothing decisive has taken place, and the troops of General Cobourg appear to have taken up winter quarters.

The combined powers are making all exertions for the next campaign. The clergy of Brabant, it is said, are coining their plate for the use of the Emperor; and the states of Hungary have offered large supplies of men and money. The same may be observed of several principalities in Germany.

A body of troops under the command of Earl Moira have landed at Guernsey, for the purpose of making a descent on the coast of Brittany to favor the insurrections in that quarter of France.
