1 b 11 111 1 .11.- ICCalltiOnS had been taken to its iny Veycer and Chevalier, who p v.- revebt ere found open in the var tment. T hefe two were taken into ctillody, ;11:1 re cognized for haVing been already brought before the Criminal Tribunal, where they had been . irr aigned and convicted, as accomplices in a con iMntey, the objeft of which was to cllablilh the 1; 1 4.a' of 1793. They then efcaped, only as no cri minal intention was made out againft them. A rum C firidt fcarch and enquiry were then made, IT im which a number of bills were found, fix car tridges, a parcel of maroons, and an infernal machine, which Chevalier confeffed to belong to th.an. In the back court there were alfo found a 01411 cart, which Veycer laid he had bought o n the preceding evening, in order to fell bundles o f tire billets. Chevalier, Veycer, Guerault, Boidquet, Jumillard, Decreps, Desforges, and Gombaut-Litchaife were brought before the Pre f t. and afterwards condueled to the Temple. the examination which Chevalier went through, could leave no doubt refpedling his intentions. Hc Paid that the machine he had eolith-tidied might be triad on board privateers; but lie did not appear tt) be a cquainted with any. He was to have fent it to Bourdeaux, but he could not point out the per fon who would have received it ; and he confefres that filch of late is his extreme poverty,- that he could not have paid the expences of the carriage. On the machine being brought to the office of the Yreka, Citizen MONGE, Member of the National Inflitute, proceeded to examine it. His report concerning it was frightful in fome refpedts, but in others it relieved alarm. It was calculated to wound,and even to kill, indifcrinsinately, a number of perfons collated together, as, for example, in banding a veffel : but, on the fuppofition that the framer of it was a man of fence, it did not appear is h.ive been contrived for inflidting vengeance on an individual, or any particularly defigned pet fon. " In the courfe of the months Nov. and Dec. it was difcovered that ill-minded perfons were en deavouring to milk:id a valuable clafs of the peo ple, who, intent on their labour, are not always fulliciently informed to be enabled to refill undue and infidious impreflions. But, fo far from the attempt fucceeding, the people every where ex preffed the ftrongeft attachment and elleem for the Government, and in particular for the perfon of the Chief Conful. Even in leveral public-houfes, more efpecially thofe in the out-fkirts of the town, the well-difprifed working men received the bri gands with fcorn and contempt " On the 22d and 23d Dec. two barrels, one large and the other fmall, filled with gunpowder, were carried to the flreet Nicaife in a cart drawn by a mare. Scarcely had the carriage of the Chief Con ful palled by, when a terrible explofion took place. The eflat of it was to throw whole families into forrow and mourning—all Paris into conflerna ti.n, and to expofe France itfelf to the moll immi nent danger. The Chief Conful; on efcaping the danger, gave orders to the Prefedt of Police to go and examine the fpot. The wounded were car ried to the hofpitals, or conveyed to their homes. [Here follows a lift of the dead and wounded.] "The effect produced by the explofion was very confidcrable. No lefs than 46 houfes were mate terially injured. The Police continues the moll afire enquiries. Health and refpedt, (Signed) " Dußois, Pick& of Police. " B. MARET, Secretary of State." JANUARY 6. M. de SPRENGPORTEN, with the Officers who accompanied him to Paris, went yefterday to the Legitlative Body. Before the opening of the fit tii,g he was introduced into the hall, the con li!ti,Ftion of which he feemed to examine with care. He was then placed in a particular part of the Alfi•mbly, where he continued during the remain citr of the fitting. It appears by an article from the Hague, that KING of PRUSSIA has intimated to the Englith emmifrary at Hambargh, who was employed in cruiting for the Britifh fervice, his determination o put a flop to future levies in this quarter. In c mean time he has given orders that none of the ecruits already inlitted (hall be allowed to be em arked for England. This Rep it is fuppofed he as been induced to take, as head of the neutrality the North of Germany, and it is further faid, rat for a confiderable time pall even the Era PE• olt has been prevented from obtaining any re mits from this line of country now at peace with he French Republic.

GEROLIAT. VIENNA, DECEMBER 23. " According to further accounts from his Royal lighnefs the Archduke Joux, dated head-quar ters Strafftvalchen, Volkelmark, and Schwanftadt, from the 14th to the 17th infant, the enemy con tinued his attacks upon our left wing, on the 14th, eroding, the river Salza, kith three columns, in the fame night. Though our troops maintained their pofition on the right banks:of the Salza, his Royal Highnefs, not to give the enemy an oppor tunity for cutting off the communication with the interior of the country, found it advifable to con duet the army to Schwandadt, by way of Nen mark and Frankenmark. Near Ncumark it came to an engagement with the rear, which, though it retreated as far as Muldkamp, frontin Franken mark, neverthelefs gained its object in reventing a more rapid progrels of the enemy, ant. his haraff ing the army on its march. His Royal Highnefs having ordered Field-Marthal L. Kt EN:MAYER, with his divilion, on the 17th indant, to advance in fupport of the rear, near Frankenmark, the ene my made a Rand, and we now expal to hear of the refult of this meatnre. " The General of Cavalry, Count BE LL.rc ARM, has fent advice from Italy of his having received intelligence from Major General SOMMARIVA that he had alfembled his troops near Sinigaglia, and advanced, by way of Pefaro, as far as Rimini ; the garrifon of Pefaro was furrounded, and fur rendered at difcretion ; the garrifon of Rimini was furptifcd, and only the Commandant effefted his efcapc. At Rimini fix large pieces of artillery and two one pounders were found, and at Pefaro two four-pounders, with a confiderable quantity of ammunition and mufltets, which were conveyed to Ancona. According to a report from General SCHUSTCH, he continues to annoy the enemy, by furprifing different polls towards Modena and Bologna: a French piquet, Rationed near Aldoffo, was attacked by him, on the Bth, when the men were partly made prifoners, and partly put to the fword.

" The Archduke CHARLES did not confider it advifcable to attempt the defence of Lintz, he therefore withdrew the Auftrian garrifon on the approach of the French, upon which the Magi ftracy on the zoth fent a deputation with the keys of the city to the French, who entered Lintz be tween the zotii and zift. ."I"o•day.a new recruiting has been begun, and many workmen are employed in erecting batteries, and throwing up intrenchmcnts round-Vienna. " The whole garrifon here, with the volunteer rifle-men, amounting together to 8000 men, have received orders to break up on the 26th for the army, on which day the citizens arc to mount guard at the feveral pons.—A courier has, how ever, arrived from the army, with advice that a fufpenfion of arms has been concluded between the Archduke CHARLES and General MOR esti for five days, or till the 28th, in which time a courier may arrive from the CHIEF CONSUL with the ulti• matum and anfmcr to the propofitions made on the part of Auflria. " On the 19th inaant a courier was fent off to Count COBENTZEL, who carried him more eaten five powers, and fuch as may authorize hint to conclude a feparate peace. " The French have laid heavy contributions and requifitions on Lintz, a part of which have already been levied. " After the Prince of LICHTENSTEIN had re turned from Vienna to the head-quarters of the Archduke CHARLES, negotiations for peace were commenced with MOREAU. On the 2 111 and 22d propofitions were made, and in confequcnce a (hurt armiffice of five days, or as others fay, of 4S, hours was agreed on, to receive the definitive anfwcr of the Court of Vienna to tome articles which MOREAU was commiffioned to add to the Prelcminaries figned by Count ST.

The theatre of war is now in Upper Auftria.— Schwanftedt, where the Archduke JouN had his head-quarters on the /7th, is fituatcd on the banks of Traun, fouth of Linz, the capital of Upper Auf tria. A confiderable part of the French army di rerted its march between Linz and Schwanfledt. Many of the inhabitants of Upper Aullria have taken refuge here with their molt valuable /fleas, and orders have been illued by our Government for detaining molt of the veffels from Vienna as far as Linz, to ferve for tranfporting magazines, artillery, ammunition, &c. in cafe of neceffity. On account of the danger apprehended from the enemy. the lottery of Linz has been conveyed hi ther, and the drawing, which ()mold have been at Linz, took place here. A letter from that city, of the 17th, lays, All the public offices h.re arc (hut up ; the money belonging to the State is- re moved, and every public Officer has received/ three months falary before-hand. It was irnpof fible to prevent a confiderable part of the enemy from entering Tyrol, by way of the mountains, who have already advanced againft Mullein. The Corps of CONDE, which was Rationed in that quar ter, as well as ;he Tyrolian riflemen, are laid to have behaved with great bravery on that oceation, but the enemy being greatly fuperior in number, they were at laft induced to make a fkilful retreat. The Archduke CHARLES is laid to have esprelfed his furprife at the bad Rate in which he found the army. He has fent the Prince JOHN of Lichten- Rein hither, to inform his MAJESTY of it in perfon. That Prince had left the army on the 16th, and arrived here on the 17th infant, when he had a conference with the Minißers, and loon afterwards an audience of the EH, t amt.

It is main tained even, that Count COBENTZEL had already received intlriiiions for figning preliminaries of peace, and that the Court of London had been in formed of it by a courier. A courier from Lune vine is arrived here, with difpatches for Lord MINT°, the Englifh Ambaffador, and it is very pollible that an Englifh Plenipotentiary will now alio be received at Luneville.

Thefe letters, however, are not fo late, by a few &Uri, as the one from General BRUNE, which we pub lilted on Saturday; of courfe nothing is yet known of the event of the aaion intended to be fought on the 27th.

The tiers ernfolides were, on the gth, 471, the man provifoires 371. Nothing has yet been done at Luncville—at lcall none of the proceedings have tranfpircd. It is not a little curious that the French continue to receive difpatches from Egypt with almoft as much regularity as if they had the command of the fea. The laft are dated the 7th ultimo, in which NIENOU continues to give a flattering account of his fituation. Two Mails from Hamburgh have arrived fince our laa publication, the principal accounts brought by them have, how2vcr, been anticipated in the French papers.

S. E. WEYMOUTH, JANUARY ii. Oa Friday morning, at day-break, as the CON STITUTION hired armed cutter was cruising to the Eaftward, off Portland, which is her flation, fhe fell in with two large French cutter privateers and immediately made lid' after them. The Corn mander foon finding them to be enemy's (hips, he hoilled out his boat and get all clear for aaion. For fomc time they run him out to fea, after which they tacked towards him and commenced the aai m, one on each fide, for an hour. Both velrels were fuperior in force, but the gallant Commander, Lieutenant Faux KNOR, defended his cutter with a valour and (kill that do him the higher' honour, and which will no doubt entitle him to the notice of the Lords of the Admiralty : he had eight of his men killed and wounded ; his fails and rigging cut to pieces; and his velTel to tally unmanageable. The enemy's cutters mancru vered in fuch a manner as to get one on the broad tide, and the other on the quarter, when they at tempted to board, but were repulfed by the gal lantry of this Officer and his fmall crew. At kilt one of the cutters made fail and lheered off while the other renewed the aaion with double vigour. Soon after the CONSTITUTION was attack ed by them both, when the larger' flicered on her quarter, and boarded with upwards of fixtt men, under a very heavy (flower of grape Ihot and muf quctry. The fmall crew not amounting to more than forty men, being unable to contend with fuch fuperior fOrce any longer, were obliged to yield, and to fuller the French to haul down the colours them/elves. Lieut. Fauxxamt gives the hi heft praife to his (hip's company, and particularly to Mr. RICHARD MI LLAN. the mailer, who highly dif tinguilhed himfelf during the whole of the aflion. They kept up a coultant tire, even until they were boarded and drove from their guns by the French. Mr. MiLzast, and the whole of the crew, were taken out and divided between the two cutters. —The Lieutenant had the good fortune to be left on board, and was yellerday morning brought in here with the cutter, retaken by the GRE YHO UN D Cullom-Hoof.: Cutter, Captain WIL KINSON, who on the alarm from Portland, imme diately put to fea, and recaptured her the fame ev..ning, leaving his Majeity'e lhip the WEASEL in ehace of the privateers, and within five or fix miles of them : hopes at e therefore entertained that one or both of them may he taken eith.zr by this vefTel or by !alt:: other of his cruizers. The French officer who boarded, lays, that the French had 26 of their men killed and wounded. The cutters mounted each I} guns ; one of them had 95 men, and the other 80. They failed from Cherburgh Wednefday, but had taken nothing ; they were to have cruized off Portland nine or ten days, and then to have proceeded, in company, for the coal! of Portugal. If they thould not fall into the hands of our cruizers, they mull go into fome port to refit. A fmall cartel, hired by fome mailers of vetrels, prifoners in Cherburgh, arrived here on Friday : They Rate, that provifions of all kinds are very reafonable in that country.—l law a loaf of very good bread, weighing twelve pounds, which they brought over, and which colt only one fhilling.— They likewife confirm the account given oithe force and number of men of the French privateers. The force of the CONSTITUTION was only 12 guns and ao men. They fay the French make a pretty trade out of ours. FROM LLOYD'. LIST.
