The latter is, it is said, id be appointed Commandant_ General, Ira trotpre, by land and sea. A German Paper asserts, that the Duke of PAstmA will take the title of KING of ETRURIA. This title has not been heard of in Europe since the time of Potsll44. Letters from the Hague announce, that General AUGER EMT is destined to take upon himself the Command of the Gallo-Batavian Army, which is to assemble in North Holland. He will have the French Generals DESJARD INS and VICTOR under his Command, and the Dutch Generals DUMON- C EAU and BR ud E. The greater part of the French and Batavian Troops, which are expeEted ately from the Right Bank of the Rhine, are to be employed in forming this little Army, as well as the other Corps expeaed from the Islands of Zealand. ttoroLn EERrnIER, GENERAL OP BRIGADE, CHIEF OF THE GENERAL STAFF OF THE ARMY 07 OBSERVATION OF a illE SOUTH, TO THE NISTER OF THE MARINE. " Head-quarters at Florence, March 16, dot. " CITIZEN MINISTER, I have the honour to inform you that the Commander in Chief, from the report of the insur o redional movements man ifested in the South of Tuscany, particularly in the Marennes, gave or ders to the Chef de Brigade commanding the Gre nadiers of Naval 'Artillery cantoned at Siennes, to send four hundred men under the command of a Chef de Eatallion, in order to disperse the mobs, now become frequent by means of thelcom muniCaiion with the English who occupy Porto Fer rajo, whence their perfidious emissaries daily com municate with the Chiefs of the Revolters, insti gated and paid by them, in that part of Tuscany which lies nearest to the Isle of Elba. " This movement was executed on the i9th. The Villages in the neighbourhood of Maria had taken arms, and such was the terror of their Inha bitants, that they meditated a vigorous defence. A number of more than 800 men occupied the Village of Prato, at the mouth of which some considerable Re doubts were thrown up. The Chief of Battalion, &trolly, made his.artangements to carry the vil lage he divided his Detachments into two co lumns, one of which attacked in front, while the other. notwithstanding the hot fire of the 11r;g2nac, :turned them, and they were soon driven from their fastnesses. The charge made them fly most rapidly. 'Their rashness east them the loss of go dead, and a great number of wounded. We have to regret the loss of several men, among whom is a Serjeant.— The Officers and Men are entitled to praise. " L. BERTHIER." LISBON, FEB. 24.—The St. Nicolas, of 74. guns, part of the Fleet under Vice-Admiral Sir ROBERT CALDER, having attempted to enter this Port in a storm, without waiting the assistance of the Pilots who were sent to them, ran ashore. There was the greatest difficulty in saving her. She had her main. mast broken fifteen feet above deck. Her other two masts were damaged, and all her yards broken. An English Frigate, which followed the vessel, shared the same fate : it was entirely dismasted, and made a great deal of water. ANCO,NA, MARCH 1 .—An English Brig which was sailing in the Bay of Ancona, not being aware of the Treaty of Peace having been signed with the EmpErcoß, and waiting to enter our Port with the vessels which carried the Imperial Flag, follow. ed them, and came in with them. After some shot fired, she struck. She carried IS guns and So men, four of whom were Officers. A very riotous mob assembled in Tiverton and its vicinity on Tuesday and Thursday se'nnight, in consequence of the high price of provisions. A de tachment of the 2.4. th Regiment, with Dragoons, under the Command of Lieut. Col. FoRsTE tc, march ed into the town on Friday, since which, from the prudent measures adopted, no farther symptom of riot or disorder has shewn itself. On Tuesday List the Farmers voluntarily brought their corn to market, and sold it to the Poor at a reduced price. M. SPINA, Envoy from the POPE, has of late had several Conferences with the FIRST CONSUL. It i 3 understood, says the Moniteur, that our Government have' agreed, that his Holiness shall have all his Territories restored to him, except three Lega tions, which had been disposed of by the Treaty of Campo Formio, upon conditions, however, that the Court of Rome shall provide 4.000 troops for its own defence, and to garrison the two towns of Civita Vecchia'and Ancona. The Emperor PAUL'S condua towards the Lady of the Bavarian Minister, in obliging her to quit his Capital within twenty-four hours, though she was 9n the eve of delivery, shews that he is full as in. different to private as to public reputation. Such an aft can hardly be agreeable to his Subjeas, who, independently of all humane considerations, were trained by the Agtocrat's august mother to, the viper sympathiei ofgallantrdr. (EAST INDIA HOUSE. YESTERDAY a General Court was held at the East India House, for the purpose of voting a house in 'Downing -street, to the Right Hon. HENRY' DUNDAS. A letter was read from Mr. I}4.;l4nAs, declaring it to be his decided opinion, that under the existing circumstances, such a Vote might be subjei to severe animadversions ; under the above document Mr CHISHOLME withdrew his Motion to substitute another, " For the Court to sell the house, and carry the amount to the credit of the Company." This produced.a long ,desuitory con versation, in the course of which Mr. LAW moved an Amendment : " To vest the house in the posses sion of the present President, or any future Presi dent." The original Motion was at length got rid of, by Mr. TWINING moving an Adjournment of the Question sine die; the Speakers were the Chair man, Messrs. CHISHOLME, LAW, Sir' STEPHEN LUSH INGTON, Rev. Mr. EDMPNSTONE, Hon. W. ELPHINSTONE, Messrs. TWYNINGJONES, ADAIR, and Mr. VANS ITTART. SIR SIDNEY The Chairman stated, that the Direaors had come to a Resolution, in consequence of the reference made to them, which should he read.—lts purport was, " The Thanks of the Court, and a vote of 30001. to Sir SIDNEY SMITH." After a few words from Mr. LAW, Lord Kt NXAIRD, and Mr. ELpturisroxE, Mr. LAW moved to agree with the Dire ors, which Motion was carried in the affir mative. GENERAL TRADE OF INDIA. In consequence of Mr. HENCHMAN pressing a speedy, decision on this important business, The Chairman stated, that the Papers, which were in great forwardness, would, when completed, be laid before the Proprietors: if the Proceedings of the Diretors met with the approbation of their Constituents, of course the business would pass sub silentio, if otherwise, any Nine Proprietors might summons a Special Court. The Court, which was thinly attended, adjourned at two o'clock. PUBLIC-OFFICE, QUEEN.SQUARE. ON' Wednesday evening last James White ' alias Jame! Mills, was committed by PATRICK COL- QuHouN, Esq. to Tothill-Fields Bridewell, for want of Suretios, to answer the complaint of John Close, for extorting from him' the Sum of one Gui nea, under a threat of charging him with com mitting an offence against the Laws, by taking ille gal Insurance in the present English Stare Lottery. On the investigation of the aboVe charge, it ap peared that notwithstanding Close had given the Prisoner a Guinea, he had lodged an Information and taken him into Custody, for the purpose of ob taining from him.a further sum, and that he aftually got from him at that time three Guineas more, under a promise that he would not appear and grve•evi dence. Contrary to which he did ; and upoli his Cross-examination swore his name to be James White, when the fa& has since turned out that his real name is lades Miles. a notorious Informer. and who by reason of his testimony being rejefted by several. Magistrates, on account of his not being a credible Witness, thought proper to assume the present name. The Magistrate much lamented that Mr. Close had been committed upon the evidence of such an abandoned Man, as the Prisoner appeared to be, and. was sorry that it was not in his power to remedy it, but expc&ed that Mr. Close would do all in his power to make an example of the. Prisoner, by not only indiding him for the extortion, blit for Per. jury also. Mr. DRUNIMO NI), who has taken so distinguish. ed a part in the recent Negotiations with the Court of Denmark, is an excellent scholar as well as a man of groat political abilities. He has displayed his poetical talents in a very spirited translation of Persius, and his - knowledge and judgment as a Poli. titian by a profound examination of the Ancien t Governments of Starta and Athens. The Hind Frigate, arrived at Portsmouth from Halifax, parted with the Sultana, --, for London, on the 9t14, and the Prudence, for Liver pool, on the 2d inst. At Wexford Assizes, before Mr. Scrjeant CH AT TE RTON, Laurence FUrlong was tried for the mur der of Mr. Grey Thomas, on the 7th of June, 1798. The circumstances appeared to be as follow : a crowd of Rebels were assembled on that day, near Mr. Beale's house on the side of Vinegar Hill, (Ennis corthy), when John Hay, son of Harvey Hay, of Ballinkeel, rode up, and being asked " what news ?" he answered " very bad ! 'that Captain Blacker had deserted them last night, and that by —, while there was a Protestant alive, the Rebels would nei ther. have luck nor grace ;" and then desired them all to be brought up to Vinegar Hill to be piked. Mr. Grey Thomas (the deceased) came up to Mr. Hay with his hat in his hand, and reminded him that he had been his neighbour and friend, and entreated that he would proted him.—" By I will pro. tea you," replied Hay, and instantly cut- him down with - his broad sword. He then asked, " was there no one to finish the fellow ?" 'when Furlong (the 'Prisoner) came up, and kneeling upon the ground, shot him through the heart. Furlong was found guilty and hanged near W(!x ford. _ _ The sanguinary villain Hay was executed the. day alter the King's 'Troops entered Wekibrd, on innumerable proofs :l (4,oe most flagitious cruelty exercised against the Unhappy, loyalists who fell into his hands. At Lewes Assizes, Wm. Card, John Card, and Richard Martin, fur stealing Miscreamt and the &aches! of Limbs, two well-known racing fillies, the property of Sir F. POOLE ; John Nash, for horse-stealing ; Wm. Woodfield, Samuel, alias Wm. Kitchener, and Thomas Fuller, for sheep.stealing ; Richard Balcombe, James Turner, George Bates, and John Pitcher, for burglaries--received sentence of death, but were all reprieved, except, the two Cards. Seven conviaed of felonies, were ordered to be transported for seven years. TA LLIEY. If we e0 , ,11d suppose that Gentleman as well ac quainted with every circumstance that has lippeneti in France, as the Members of Opposiion were igno rant of the charatter ,of that man, whom some of them have entertained at their houses, and many treated with uncommon attention, we should dedi care the following sketch of his life to his English Patrons. We do not, however, ascribe their con duet to ignorance, and particularly when we see the Leader of them considering it.necessary Lo disavow the alts of his Partizans. JEAN LAMBERT FALLEeN was the son `of the Porter of a French Nobleman, who, being at. tached to his Servant, bestowed on his ' Son a better education than he could otherwise have re ceived, and than the situation of his fathor entitled him to. He became first the Bailiff of the Marquis DE BE RCY,• afterwards a Clerk in the Commercial and Finance Ofti:e, and then a Copying. Clerk to the Deputy Brosteret in the Constituent Assembly. He was next employed in the Office of the /110/.4/Cur. Although then but young, (1790 he determined to set . up for himself, and begun a Journal entitled L' Ami des Citojens, which was not very successful. To the labour of a Daily Jnurn a l, he j o i ne d, " b y way of diversion," a Weekly Paper, and tile rest of his time he filled up with pronouncing civic harangues on the Constitution. Such zeal was ,not likely • to pass without reward where the Populace had to award the palni. He distinguished nimself in the Seaions, and appealed on the Bth of June 1792, in the Assembly at the head ofa Deputation who came to denounce the Department which had suspended PETION on account of the disturbance on the ' 2lst June, and to require his installation in office. At the time of the loth of August, he was appointed Secretary General -of the Commune, and from that time began to play a considerable part. On the 31st of the same month, he appeared again at the Bar of the Legislature, in order to solicit the re_ peal of a Decree which put an end to the Provisional Municipality ; and on the 3d of September, he again came forward there, with the infamous TRUCHON, in order to present a Report on the Massacres in the Prisons. He asserted, that the Commune had done all in its power, to prevent the assassinations, but with a grace peculiar to himself, he ventured to shew the Legislators in what manner the People were exercising their Justice. That he was not innocent of these crimes may be inferred from many authentic documents ; the speech which he delivered on-the 3d, when he asserted, that the Massacres were at an end, while they were still continued at the Bicetre, on the evening of the 4th, and at La Force, on the 7th of September :---an order signed by him, on the 3oth of August, joint ly with Httnutikr, and MEE cs, for the imprison. - Anent of those who were afterwards made /iklims : A Placard, signed jointly with the same men, which began, " AAA . - Armes, Aux Armes, Citoyens !" which was the signal for bloodshed, &c. The friends of TALL have - justified him against this accusation, by stating, that though he was present • al all the conferences in which these events were planned, with LL AU Ro ESP 1E P.RE, DAYTON, and others, he still shewed a degree of repugnance to these atrocious meac.ure6. As the reward of .this sanguinary merit, he was,. in the course of the same month (Sept. 179 z), eletl ed a Deputy to the National ConVention, for the Department of the Seine and Oise ; and in that As sembly, he was continually at the Bar in order to defend the Terrorists, and to denounce their Ene. mien. When the Trial of Louis XVI. was begun, he shewed himself one of his most indefatigable Enemies, and suffered no • opportunity to escape of abusing him. On the Itch, 13th and is th of Decem ber, he was strenuous in pressing for sentence against that Prince, opposing the granting of Coun sel to him, and preventing him, even as far as it was in his power, from communicating with his Fa. mily : he, of course, voted for his Death. During the year 1793, and the beginning. of 1794, his conduet was remarkable for nothing but its violence, of which Bourdeaux was unhappily for it a considerable theatre. There, in conjunction with his Colleagues, BAUDOT and YSAB EAU, he pursued his work of devastation, which was stop.; ped only by a stronger passion, that of love, for his present wife Madame de FoNmAr, the' daughter of the Spaniard GABAR R US, who was then a pri soner in Bourdeaux. From the time of his attach ment to her he became another man, and the lzL mentations were succeeded by revelry in Bour_ deaux. The Military and Revolutionary Com mittees of BoutdeauX were suppressed by him, as oppressive to the Citizens; and his conduc'l became so alarmingly mild, that the Conimittee of Public Safety sent an Inspcdor to overlook his conduE, which they severely censured. TALLIEDt, greatly dissatisfied, returned to Paris, and the Persecutions which his fair one, to whom he . was not married until after the gth Thermidor, suffered,- gave rise to that hatred width he ever arrwards bore to ROB ESP lERR F. and his Tools. I is opposition to that Tyrant was strenuous from that period, and it was formidable to him, ftbm the determined charae:.' ter of TALe I E:a, and from the influence which be acquired after his return from Bourdeaux. As early as the 21st of MarC:h 1791, he was introduced with acrimony by ROB ESP I ERR E in a speech which he then delivered against the Partizans of I-I.triERT ;—but he neither resented this, nor a subsequent attack made on him on the I rth of _rune, when ROBESPIERRE treated him with still greater hauteur. The certainty of his danger rather than any principle of humanity—for what principle could be supposed to exist in the mart who had in the Jacobin Club ,defended Joint_ DAN, commonly called Coupe-Tete—induced TAL. LIEN to join the Thermidonan Fadion, and on the gth Thermidor (the 27th July) the victory declared in their favour. The anions of this man subsequent to the fall of ROBESP lERRE, and his other claims to the atten tion of Opposition, would. occupy more space than we can at once devote to them. We shall to-mor row take a view of the remainder of this well slcnt life: (To bt cant:A:led.) Tiw James, Ccicey, is lost at St. Michael's.
