OF MAR Al. ;
The affaflin of Marat was one
of those uncommon characters,
Interiour ft ate of France.
PARIS, JULY 23. Various parts ofthe
Republick are in commotion. Foremost
in these are she cities ofLyons, Bourdeaux
,Marseilles, and Caen. One great objed
r of these commotions is to form a Federal
Republick ; the territory to be divided
into three regions, the Northern, South
ern, and Central. In the department of
Calvedos, a considerable army is raised,
commanded by Gen. Wimfyn, the hero
of Thionville ; who has thus written to
the commander of the Parisian army, ' If
.you want Civil War, advance—if not, do
' net set your feet on the territory of Calve
dos. I wanted to avert many misfortunes,
buffoon shall an explanation take place.'
Those infurreftions are opposed by the
friends to tbe indivisibility of the Repub
lick ; and various success attends the op
erations. The Marfeiilois have taken
Toulon; the popular club is flint up ; the
fans culottes are put in jail rand a com
missioner ofthe Executive Council heads
f the insurgents against the Convention. —
This intelligence was communicated by a
member. The Convention has decreed :
That all strangers in Lyons, Bourdeaux,
Marseilles, and Caen, fyall quit them in
24. hours, and repair in eight days to their
usual place of abode. .That every person
who disobeys the decree ihall be treated as
an emigrant, & his property Confiscated.
That there shall be but 1 bell in every pa
rilh ; the rest may be converted into can
nons, apthe request ofthe war minister.
The Conftittition has been accepted in
many departments, and several of the ar
mies unanimously. Great rejoicings on
• account of it, and civic hymns chaunted
daily. Charrier, the chief of the rebels
in Lozere, has been put to death;
Tbe Convention,
Continue firm to their posts and duties,
notwithstanding the difficulties that fur
roundthem ; nor is the least despair of
the republick to be seen. They have de
creed the establishment of another camp
behind the grand camp in French Flan
ders, to consist of 300,000 men, and de
clared all France to be in a state of siege.
They have also decreed the arrest of all
• foreigners, natives of any of the Bellige
rent powers, how in France, who have
not taken up their fettled residence for
three fears., fl
-Fate of General CUSTINE.
PARIS, JULY 23. Yesterday the commit
tee of Publick Welfare, denounced Gen.
Cuftine, who is now here. He is accused
of having said, " that such decrees of the
Convention, as he did not approve, he
would curl hitfiair with ;" and " that he
would make the Jacobins tremble."
Danton said, We must know what Cuf
fine is. For want of provisions, Conde has
surrendered ; Valenciennes is hard press
ed; the Northern army is without a gen
eral. Cuftine is fufpe&ed ; he is of the
league of the rebels of Calvedos, and for
Condorcet's Constitution. [Condorcet's
Constitution is Similar to that of theUS.]
, I move, therefore, that Cuftine be arrest
ed, & sent to the Abbey prison. Adopted.
Cuftine is cashiered, and Gen Diet
mann appointed in his stead.
JULY 27. From prison Cuftine has
written, demanding a trial, and profeffing
unshaken civifm.
lon don, aug.l2. From undoubted
authority we learn, that Cuftine was fen
teheed on the 6th, and was guillotined.
'Tis said that such was the fury ofthe mob
against him, exasperated at the frequent
losses they had met with, which they im
puted to his treachery and inattention,
that they seized his body, and cut it into
five pieces.
It is stated that in an engagement near
Landau, on the 22d of July, the French
were beat by Gen. Wurmfer, with the
loss of 5000 men.
It is said to be the determination
of the Allied Armies, to divide
their force. The English and
Hanoverians, are to march down
to the attack of Dunkirk, while the
'Auftrian army are to besiege Bou
chain; Qte/noy, Maubeuge,Cambr ay,
&c. and then proceed by.this route
to Paris, leaving Lisle closely in
y^fted, but without any attempt to
besiege it this campaign.

BOSTON, Sept. 28.—Captain
Preble, arrived in this port, from
Barcelona, via. Cadiz, informs us,
That the Spanish fleet, consisting
of 31 fail of the line, and a great
number of frigates and zebecks,
left that port a few days before he
failed ; their destination supposed
to be Toulon: That while at Bar
celona, this fleet failed and return
ed from the French island of St.
OSTEND, July 24. —Accounts
have been received here which may
be relied on, that on the Bth inst.
the Piedmontefe attacking the
French in the valleys, and other
routs leading into Savoy, forced
their entrenchments, took their ar.
cillery and baggage—in short, that
the Republicans were ,retreating
from Savoy with the fame precipi
tation and disorder as they evacu
ated those provinces.
About the fame time, the Pied
montefe attacked the French army,
consisting of 16,000 men, en
trenched at Argentere in the valley
of Barcelonetta ; forced their posts,
killed 4000 men, and took posses
sion of their artillery. In this af
fair, the Piedmontefe loft 1500
men ; they were in pursuit of the
enemy, and had opened a passage
into the province of Dauphiny and
Upper Providence, whereby they
might aid the army of Nice.
The French continue their de
vaftationi in this province, which
is entirely destitute of troops to re
sist them. A part of the army
however employed in besieging
Mentz, is expeded here, shortly.
When Shortly after she was ar
rested and hand cuffed, she said
with a haughty smile, “ I am pre
pared for my fate ; I know I have
deserved well of my country.'?
On her arrival in the Abbaje prif
on, she said, at several times, " I
have performed my talk ; let oth
ers do the rest."
which Nature, as it were, frames
on purpofe' for a deed like bet's.
The unfanatic coolness with which
the prepared and executed this
deed,the high mindedness & cour
age which she displayed defore her
judges, and on the fcaffold, went
far beyond the common powers of
her sex. Every circumstance, there
fore, which concerns this extraor
dinary woman, cannot fail of being
interesting:
She belonged to a noble family;
whole name, before the extinction
of the titles of Nobles, was Armend.
Her father was Equerry to Louis
XVI. She was born at St. Sarur
nin, near Seez, was unmarried, and
in the 25th year of her age. Her
carriage nobly bold, and her whole
deportment decent and majestic.
Admitted into Marat's room,
she found him in a bathing ma
chine, busy in arranging some sheets
of his journal. She mentioned the
domestic broils which convulsed
France, and on his assuring her,
chat their authors fhduld expiate
their crimes on the fcaffold, she
drew a knife, and thrush it in his
breast.

LUXEMBOURG, July 31.
Austrian Flanders.
It is said that not more than 50 persons
were ill of the Yellow Fever in Philadel
phia, on the iSth of Sept, but the Influ
enza was very prevalent.
But Accounts of the 20th and 21st of
Sept, fay, 'That the disease has spread
all over the city, and if we may judge by
the number of funerals, its malignity has
not much abated. The inhabitants are
mostly fled—The physicians differ in o
pinion ; friends dare not visit friends who
are sick ; no ceremony at funerals, but the
putrid corpse is committed to its kindred
dust, and covered as soon as possible ;"—
This is the substance of the account of
the 20th—The 21st, and latest date, fays
" that death has closed the eyes ofs out
of 6, in the neighbourhood of the writer,
who have been attacked—That America
never saw a similar depopulation—That
FEIRER in Philadelphia.
We are happy to inform our readers that
by the last accounts from that quarter,
the YELLOW FEVER is 'abated of its
rage ; and the physicians hope the city
will soon be relieved from its diftrefles on
account of it—Dr. Rush has been sick,
but is recovering. The Governour of
Newyork has forbid all vessels from Phi
ladelphia approaching nearer than 2 miles
distance from the city, till visited by the
•infpeding physicians and health officers
of the port In Boston, every precaution
is used against it—as also in various other
towns on the coast, &c.
Summary.
A letter from Liverpool, July 25th, to a
gentleman in Baltimore, (Mary.) fays:
'' The French have entirely defeated the in
furgents ; and this day it is reported, that
they have, also, totally defeated the combined
armies, before Valenciennes."—But we
tell different things, this day.
The Lt. Gorernour of Kingston, Ja
maica, has determined to use every means
to discountenance Englifli privateers ri
fling or plundering the passengers and
crews of vessels that may fall into their
hands ; —as it is fit only for pirated.
The 19th ult. two French ships of war
arrived at Newyork from Nantz : by these
accounts are to July 25 —When they left
France the siege of Valenciennes was rais
ed, (they fay)—the insurgents were beat
en every day—and the fleets of the Re
publick, not only protested the coasts,
but were masters of the gulph & channel.
This looks rather remarkable, when com
pared with later accounts.
HOW is the philofophick mind diftreft,
when it views the havock that Ambition
makes amongst Mankind ! When it
views the Millions facrific'd to maintain
the momentary authority cf capricious
usurpers ! — -wbofe breath is in their toftrih !
O! that instead of WAR, they would fay,
PEACE on Earth and Good Will to Men !—

took a French frigate of 36 guns,
& a privates, which they brought
in : That during this expedition, a
French fleet of merchantmen, con
voyed by three frigates, left the
coast of Barbary, laden with wheat
and arrived fafe at Marftilles al
though one object of the Spaniards
was, to intercept them : And that
on the 30th June, he passed, off
Cape de Car, the English Beet 26
