By the ship Holdernes, Captain Wray, just arrived from Hull, in 30 days, we have received the following important intelligence; That the French army under Dumourier, and the Austrians, &c. have had a tremendous battle, which lasted two days. Capt. Wray says the account of the above battle is published in the London Gazette--It began on the 16th March, continued the whole day--on the 17th there was a cessation--on the 18th the Austrians renewed the attack having been reinforced, this turned the fortune of the day in their favour--Gen. Dumourier was wounded in the thigh. The Captain added, that it was reported that Gen. Dumourier had still an army of 80,000 men, and had retreated farther into the Netherlands--that the field of battle was between the Meuse and Breda--that the French still held Breda, but it was feared the French garrison would be cut off. The Capt. could not tell what was the loss on the side of the Austrians, nor who commanded them--it is supposed that it was Gen. Clairfait.
