IX^fr of a Britilh merger
frrffiac harbour, with orders from the court,
of London to Admiral Lera Hoon, to raise
'the blockade 7 which has been done accord-
Gutters from Parff^^^ &j
vigilance of the committees, fate, that the
difficulty of procuring provisions in that me
tropolis has given rife to much uneasiness.
The people demand a King and bread ; and I
,|,e deputies tyre no longer shew themselves
in publick, unless in repairing to the Con
pention, where they, daily hear very unpleas
ant complaints. The too commissioners
who were repreferited as sick at Angers, were
taken and killed by the Royalists in the ac
tion of St. Fulgent. These letters further
state, that General Moulin did not, as his
.party ' have represented, kill himfelf as a
staunch Republican, but was dispatched with
a pistol by La Roche Jaquelin ; and that the
infection which broke out at Nantz, by the
putrid exhalation of the dead bodies of 9000
of the Royalists of La Vendee, who had been
either guillotined or (hot there, has occasion
ed in that city an epidemic disorder which
tarries off a great number of the inhabits
ants.
The French have their new plan for the
present campaign, as well as the combined
princes of Europe.—They are to declare all
Austrian Flanders, Brabant, Liege, &c. nne
partie integrants de la re,obliques,and it is possi
ble that this decree has already passed as a
preliminary to the attack on the armies, that
. all the friends of France in those Countries
may be roused to join them..
But, what is of more consequence to their
cause they have succeeded in procuring an
armed neutrality. Switzerland, Denmark,
Sweden, and Venice, have entered into a
negotiation for maintaining the rights of
nations; and to this confederacy they have
invited America, Florence, Genoa, and all
other states who have been threatened as well
as those now at war, who have been forced
to join the allied powers.
Commodore Elphinftone, who was ap
pointed commandant at Toulon, edits be
ing firft possessed by the English, is on bis
way to England, with two very fine Ihips of
the line, taken in that port— one of them is
the Commerce de Marseilles, of 120 guns.
There are French papers in this town of
the 27th. By these it appears, that.the Rov
alifts have, since the former accounts in the
Convention, -gained some considerable ad
vantages over the forces of the anarchists.;
There is reason to believe, that difeontent
and despair are the general sensations of the
people of Paris.
; In fant, the Royalists in Brittany, who
have been so often extirpated by the National
Cooventionifts, and have as often risen frt>m
the dead, are at this moment in as great force
as they were at any period of the last year ;
and it now appears, that the chiefs of that
party have been aftwely. though with secre
cy, employed all the winter months, to col
left a very formidable force against the open
ing of the campaign ; and such as will in
;duce our government to fend them fuccours.
The Royalists are now attempting to gain
some port, where our troops may land with
fafety ; and Lord Moira is arrived at Jerky,;
in order to, be on the spot to receive the
;fpeedieft intelligence from them. Govern
]ment has, there is reason to believe, the most
certain information; of the strength of their
%$ which promises the most important ad
vantages The whole country of the Bas
Limofin is in arms against the Convention ;
and by private letters we know, that M. de
Precy, who commanded the Royalists at Ly
ons, and retired toßovergue afterthe evacti-'
ation of that city, is now in the Bas Limofin
country, at the head of 6000 men, and is
making the best of his way to join the Roy
alists of Brittanny.
A terrible plot to deliver the important
fortreffes of Luxemburgh to the French, is:
said to have lately been difedtered, 'juftto
time to prevent its execution.— Part of the
fortifications were to be blown up, in order
to facilitate the entry of the French. Gen.
Schroeder, the Governour, was the princi
pal in the conspiracy. On its dete&ion he
blew out his brains, according to some : ac
cording to others,he has escaped into France,
with teveral officers and cannoniers.— All
strangers are sent out of thrown of Luxem
burg, and federal :ari,ftatk>ns have been;
~a^ „. It # generally underftopd set,
out government will stop all American ships
now in the river, bedrid to fance. The
urgency of affairs requires every vigilance on
our part to prevent any Applies being lent,,
that country, which is so very hard preffcd

fu'ng campaign, is id a& under the direction |
of Col. Mack, and the combined Armies are,
ceed in a thkfstb Parts -=star. ,1
whence the expected invasion was said to ba
projected, is returned, after running so elofe
on fllore as narrowly to have efcafai a red
hot ball from a battery ; and reports that
there are no troops embarked, nor (hipping
so numerous, or preparations in any state of
forwardnefs such as had been coujeftured, ?
- ^ The French, having made great additions
to their strength, along aftthe frontiers from
Ltfle to Dunkirk, threaten another inroad
upon Weft Flanders, and already some severe
(kirmifhes have taken place, at the allied out
posts. Gun boats are said to have failed
from Dunkirk, for the purpose of attacking
Oftend by sea, to which place their troops, in
great numbers, are endeavouring to press
forward by land. In the mean time, iris
fatisfadory to know, that Oftend has been,
for some time, in a condition to make a vig
orous defence.
FEB. 22. Our letters from Brussels, dat
ed the 18th inst. state, that the movement
of the French, which we had notice of in our
last letters, was not a falfe alarm. The
French had actually began their operations,,
and that in a most formidable way. They
advanced on the fide of Mauheuge, and on'
the 15th a violent cannonade commenced,on
the Auftrianout posts. All theEuglifhrroops
have moved from their cantonment, and the
Anftrians have advanced from Mons to the
frontiers.—
The Prince of Cobourg had been for two
days at Bavay, and it was thought that he
would remove his head quarters to Valenci
ennes ; as for, the present at least they must
coritinue on the defensive ;?-70,000 French
are already assembled before that place,, b,t
it appears that Pichegry yet waits the arrival
of the cavalry.'
9 Ten fail of French Eaftiridia men hi&te
reached Port I'Ofient, an event which has
caused much joy among the Under-writerfat
Lloyd's Coffeehoufe, where some of them
were deeply insured. This arrival is to be
the more regretted by this country, as the
French have thereby deceived a large supply
of faltpetre, ah article of -which' they were
very much in want.§
march 15. By an American gen
tleman, who left Brest on Friday last,
we learn, that there „ere 31fail, be
sides a great number of frigatei, lying
at single anchor, ready to put to sea
at the shortest warning. They were
all apparently in excellent condition.
Their foppofed object is , for the
present to intercept if_ poffi^e the
Gibraker homeward bound fleet, con
lifting of 170 fail, having, it so
thought, a very frongfavoy;^
tote^hoped Lord Howe's appear
ance will cool the ardour of their ex
reactions. They are now put, apd;
as long as they keep the sea, the pub
lic anxiety fa not likely to be abated.
