We can learn but few particulars by this vessel—a courier, however, had arrived from the Brabantine country, five days before she sailed, viz. on the 20th June, who informed, that no action had happened since those of Mons and Valenciennes; that the armies were not far from each other; the army in general were deploring the delusion which occasioned Dillon's fate, and that discipline was an object much sought after, and desired by the patriotic soldiery."
