LEYDEN, August 24.

From the Meuse there is no other intelligence but that on the 7th and 8th, the French seemed to be making dispositions for an attack, which however did not take place, and that in the mean while skirmishes were very frequent along the whole line of defence.

General Kray, being reinforced by a division of Uhlans, and by a free corps of Michalowitz, has now on the left of the Meuse before Maestricht sixty three squadrons of light imperial cavalry under his orders. The Austrian army from Luxembourg to Ruremonde, is divided into six corps, the principal of which is encamped on three lines near Tourou la Comte, covering an extent of ground of about four miles. This corps is computed at 35,000 men, and the whole 60,000. The pontoons were ready at Tourou. At Keer, on the right wing of the centre were expected the Ministers, Counts Metternich, Mercy, M. de Walmoden, &c. The Arch Duke Charles was gone from Aix la Chapelle, to Bonne, to pass some days. According to the report of some deserters, Quesnoy had surrendered to the French, who were now occupied with besieging Valenciennes and Conde. A great part of the French soldiers had returned to their habitations to get in the harvest, but they were expected to return by the 10th September, for a general review to be made near Tirlemont.
