It appears that the Swifs are abandoning their country in great numbers. After being drained, not to fay robbed, of their money by the revolution with which France has overwhelmed them, they find it imptable to fumint what is farther required of them. Letters from Bet ne give an account of a meeting of the Cantulta at Paris on the 25th oh. the drift of which is not very ob vious. It took place under the Prefidency of AAAAA s,t IS T. who announced that he had to com municate to them on the part of the FIRST COM in two Ads of Mediation, but that in order to receive fnch communication they mull divide themfelves into two SeEtions, the one confiding of the Partizans of the ancient Regime, and the other of thofe of the new order of things. This propo• fition naturally excited much furprize, but after Come he Station the Deputie► divided in the manner pointed out, when it was found that there were thirty-four who were friendly to the new order of things, and fizteen who were the Partizans of the Ancient fylion. Each Seaion was then invited to appoint 3Deputation of five to receive the promifed communications ; but the nature of the Ails of Mediation had not tranfpired at chiyate of the lan advice:. The FIRST Comma, not mitering himfelf with the office of Mediator, is invited by fume of his ferrile Journalins to Alone the Rill more ins . - portant charafter of a Legitlator and Eleftor for l the whole country, and it is not at all improbilis: that he will readily accede to a propofal fo conge-. nial to his willies and views. A letter from Btett, of the 31(1 January, men tions the arrival of the Colombe.Forvette, from St. Domingo, which brought the intelligence lately communicated by the Moniteur. The letter Rates, that the negroes lately brought from the Weft Indies, " will form part of the military corps to be fent with General DLCAIII, Captain-General of Pondicherry." This is the ufe to which we feveral months ago predieted the French would employ their negroes. This may be a new and a very dangerous modification of the Rave trade. The GRAND Dees of TUSCANY, as prefump- tive heir of the Dust of Moessa, has claimed the Chapters, Convents, and Abbeys, included in the Brifgau, and the Imperial Cities, which he confiders as comprifed in the Ortenau ; but it is thought that his claims will not be admitted.— The Aufirians finally evacuated Palau on the 23d ult.

He raid there were meetings of the affociation held every day in the week; at one of there, held at the Bleeding Hart, Hat:on Garden, a fund was fpoken of, and a (haling charged for each Conftitution Card, in or. der to pay Delegates for going into the country to smite as many as poffible, form a correfpondence to communicate information, and receive &ate Order: from the GRAND COMMITTEE, the names o f which were kept fecret from all but thofe afting as Delegates, or very forward in the bufinefs.— At a meeting affembled at the Hoop and Ram in the Mint, Wratten propofed, that each Captain cif Ten'thould have a book (he producing one at the fame time) in which to infert an account of Vo kerstary Subfcriptions, to advance to Delegates. dtc. and it was propofed that Houfes fhonld be opened to unite as many as parable, particularly itllh, who had been difcharged from the Navy. wnd accullomed to the great gnn exercife.

[Here followed a chain of evidence exaftly the fame with that given on the trial of Mr. Defpard.] The next novelty in the exami nation relates to the meeting at the Flying Horfe. Newington. Arthur Graham was there, an'. con flating; on the death of the Lisa, he exclaimed, " you'll do no good unlefe you fecure the whole of them," (meaning the whole of the Royal Family.) He took a key from his pocket, ohrerving, that it would admit him into " all Halls. Parks, and Collyges belonging to his MA] Ivry. I know," raid he, " the whole bailie: of them.

Theeteruit houfe where you learned your exercile, Windfor, belongs to me ; I have 601. a year as a arcane for it, but damn them and their Sinecure too!"—In the geode of this wieners's examination it appeared, that the prifoner Broughton, at a meeting. raid that at lean five hawked difcharged Caulkers from the Docklardi, would join them at a moment's notice. In confulting the means of , putting his Mllj as ry to death, John Wood el -1 claimed, " I'll be damn'd if I don't get myfelf comfy over the great gun in the Park, and fire it . . at h i s Mostly , s coach as he is going to the Parlia ment Houle." The witnefs here explained, that a private of the Guards is always Rationed there, and that it was poeihle for Wood to have that guard, al centinels frequently get leave from their officers to exchange putts, for the piirpofes of per focal convenience. No material difference occur red in the remainder of this witnefs': examination. In the evidence of not. Bleids, the new viatica tranfpiring was as follows :—At a meeting held in, rooky. fkreet.
