Baflia, 'July 12. After th& French had Tacked
the Pieve of Niolo, they surrounded a convent of
monks, and after searching a long time they found
at the bottom of several tombs about 600 mblkets
with a large quantity of powder and other ammu
nition. All the religious, together witWixty-two
other persons, were arrested by order of the Go
vernment, and two of them were hanged. Not
withstanding all the care of the French, 150 armed
rebels found means to escape their pursuit, and
retire to the woods. The Generals Marbceuf
and Narbourne, after leaving 1200 men in those
parts which have submitted, returned to the polls
which they occupied before this expedition.

imprisoned here.

men there had received orders to appear no more
at Court. [By other advices it appears, that
these two great perlonages are the Dukes of Or
leans and Chartres. And the cause of their pro
hibition is reported to be a letter which the for
mer wrote to the King, wherein he said that he
had his reasons for not assisting with the new Par
liament ar the funeral service to be performed for
his late Majesty at St. Dennis.]
Bru,els, August 2. The harvest in this country
