Heights above Cateau,

SIR, 26 April, 1794. It is from the field of battle that I have the fatisfaction to acquaint you, for his Majefty's information, with the glorious fuccefs which the army under my command have had this day.

At day-break this morning the enemy attacked me on all fides. After a fhort but severe conflict we fucceeded in repulfing him, with confiderable flaughter. The enemy's General, Chapuy, is taken prifoner, and we are mafters of thirtyfive pieces of the enemy's cannon. The behaviour of the British cavalry has been beyond all praife.

It is impoffible for me as yet to give any account of the lofs fuftained by his Majefty's troops. I have reafon to be lieve that it is not confiderable.

The only officers of whom I have any

account as yet, and who I believe are all who have fallen upon this occafion, are Major-General Manfel, Captain Pigot, and Capt. Fellows of the third dragoon guards.

The army under his Imperia! Majefty was attacked at the fame time, and the only particulars with which I am acquainted at prefent are, that the enemy were likewife repulfed with great lofs. I fhall not fail to fend you a more full account by the first opportunity. I am, &c.

Frederick.

P. S. This letter will be delivered to you by my aide-de-camp, Captain Murray, who will be able to give you any further information that you may with to receive. SIR,

Cateau, 26 April, 1794,

In addition to my letter, written imjuft learnt, from his Imperial Majefty, mediately after the engagement, I have that General Count Kingfky and MajorGeneral Bellegarde, after having repulfed the enemy with great flaughter from Prifches, had purfued them as far as daylight would permit, in the direction of Capelle, and have taken twenty-two pieces of cannon; fo that we are already in poffeffion of fifty-feven pieces of ord nance taken from the enemy this day. I am, &c. Frederick.

SCOTLAND.

April 26. The Circuit Court of Juftici ary was opened at Aberdeen, by Lords Swinton and Dunfinnan. John Edgar, William Turnbull, and John Potts, late foldiers in Lord Hopetoun's Fencibles, were tried for a rape, or affault with intent to commit a rape on Mary Monro, a fervant girl. The Jury by a plurality of voices, found Turnbull Guilty of the crime libelled, and the other pannels aiding and affifting him; but in confideration of the apparent youth of all the pannels, they unanimoully and moft earnestly recommended them to mercy. The pannels were all fentenced to be hanged on the 13th of June next. The recommendation of the Jury will be transmitted by the Judges to his Majefty.—Ann Drew was accufed of theft and houfebreaking. The Advocate Depute reftricted the libel to an arbitrary punishment, and the Jury returned a verdict, finding the theft proven, but the house

breaking not proven. The pannel was fentenced to be put in the pillory, and to be banished from Scotland for fourteen years.
