of P(ecy, already compluiced and
chiunted in Lyons, is engraved with
that of Louis xvn. on that teal, which
it deposited with the committee of
General Safety. The members of
that detestable company affaffinete all
those whom they name di^ffeded, ,
the appellation which they give to
terrontts. They affaflinate in the
prisons. They get into houses and
commit miffacres during the night.
Citizens are even poignared in the
ftreetsin broad day ; others are thrown
alive into rhe Rhone and Saone.
The affaffioi are chiefly men of
Angers, in the committee of Lyons
—among them are several emigrants.
The adminiftratiye bodies of Lyons,
have not difeovered a proper sense of
the dignity of their fundions. On
the 25th of Priarial, when the mifia
cres were numerous, the mayor affed
ed an indisposition. The fubflitute of
the national agent, the public accuser,
and the ftaff of the national guard,
did not perform their duty. The dis
tribution of 10,000 mufquets deflin.
ed for the army of Italy, made by or
der of the Representatives, did not
prevent the national guard from being
inaaive fpedators of the massacres.
. The patriotic Ganchon, a citizen of
Lyons, was ver, nearly affaffiaated.
On the report of Chenier, the con
vention decreed, that the powers of
all the administrative bodies of Lyons
are suspended. The mayor, the fub
ftifute, and the accuser, are ordered
to the bar. The police of Lyons it
to be exercised by the ftaff officers of
the place. The ftaff officers of the
national guard are broken. The au
thors of the massacres, the emigrants,
and the associates of the company of
Jesus, are to be given up, in order to
be removed to Grenoble. All who
had not resided in Lyons for 6 months
are bound to depart in 24 hours, and
to return to their refpedive corn;
munes.
THE CHOUANS.
Doulcet, in the name of the com
mittee of public welfare, reported —
the national convention, after having
authorifed and functioned the measure
taken in the weftern departments, in
order to call &ck the citizens who
had been milled, & to protea peace
able citizens, thought to be able to
rely upon those who had (worn to o
bey the republican laws. But the
convention has been cruelly deceived,
for some of the chiefs of the Chouans
attended to the meafure# of pacifica
tion, only for the purpole quietly to
execute their dark & perfidious plans
under the shadow of peace. Their
correspondence has proved, chat these
enemies of liberty nave continued a
correspondence with one of our most
inwerate enemies; namely, the En
glish. These chief# not being able
re conquer by force, endeavored to
unite their efforts, in order to create a
fadious famine, a general rebellion,
and to favor inyafion from abroad.—
On one hand, they ftopt the convey
ance of provisions from one village
to another, and on the other, they
, gave notice to the English, in order
to prevent the arrival of provisions
' into our ports.—The reporter, after
having enlarged upon the utility of
fending frefh missionaries into those
I diftrids, io order to take measures to
fopofe the Chouans, finished by pro
pofiog, in the name of the Commit-;
iff, the following decree, which was
, rcpted by the convention.

NEWYORK, AUG. 1,
It has been rumoured that the Executive
of the United States is about tolay an Em
bargo. Indeed it is impossible to fay what
will not be rumoured. The public mind is
perpetually alarmed with groundless reports.
The Executive has not power to lay an
Embargo—Congress, at their session, begin
ning Dec. 1793, Puffed an ad empowering
the President to lay an Embargo on all ves
sels, whenever in his opinion the public fate
ty should require it. But this a& was ex
pressly limited 10 15 days after the com
mencement of the then next session. The
next session, which was the last, passed over
without any continuance or revival of the

that reaped ceased with the aft

"A number of American and other neu

are, that nothing hostile is intended to the

A Correspondent at Warwick, informs,
That the business of manufacturing Cotton
Yarns, with ArkwrlgHt's Machines, com
menced at Messrs. Potter & Co's, new Fac
tory, in that town, on Saturday last—The
working of the Machines, and the Yarns
produced by them, exceed the most sanguine
expiations of the friends of the establish
ment, and is an honorable testimony of the
abilities and qualifications of the gentleman
who fuperin tended the business (Mr. Irwine.)
The proprietors have ereded a large and 1
commodious building for the purpose, in
which they mean also to prosecute the Cot
ton Manufactory upon an extensive scale—
Between 20 and 30 hands are now employed,
and there will soon be a large addition to the
number. —The yarn spun is equal to any we
have feeri, and the prosecution of the business
promises to be a source of profit to the pro
prietors, and an honor to pur country.

Extraa of a letter from a gentleman in N&wyork,
to bis friend in this city, dated the iyb inf.
" How anxious people are to spread un
founded reports, of disorders - raging in this
city— not more than 30 miles from here, it is
believed that we are dropping down dead in
the tercets, indeed it has been the case of ma

brethren in Newyork—and in Philadelphia
Ithe Committee had determined on flopping

“ Several people have died in Cherry and
Water Streets, near Peck-flip, but we do not

By Capt. Folger, from Lilbon, we learn,
positively, that the Algerines were not out.
The Portuguese were preparing a new fqoa
dron to relieve their old cruizing squadron in
the Streights ; and Mr. Church told Capt.
F. he had afforances from the Court of Por
tugal, that they would conclude no Peace
with the Algerines, without giving him three
, months previous notice. ' This promise puts
the American commerce with the southern
ports of Europe, almost upon a footing of
perfea security, from those freebooters, the
Algerines..
FROM AUX CAYES.
Captaib Lovell from Au&caycs, arrived
^ j^^u^
on the partdge, he was plundered of much
property. After his veflel was cleared, on
application to the Commandant, such of the
property as could be conveniently found, was.
returned ; but 84 joes were entirely loft to
him, a.4 he received no kind of fatisfadion
or promise of future indemnity from the
Commandant. He then proceeded to Aux
% Cayes, to lay his complaint before the Gen.i
1 in Chief, who resided there; but here was
difeovered as little defere :e to justice as at
Jacmel. The Gen. fai. ' • had heard by
the way of Baltimore, of the ratification* of
the Treaty with Britain ; therefore, that
hereafter be should shew no friendihip for
the Americans. He had, he said, given or
ders, to the privateers to bring in tor con
demnation, all American.veffels bound to or
from British ports. A brig belonging to
Baltimore, Capt. Hammet, from Jamaica,
bound home, had just then been brought in
a prize. The Capt. was confined in prison,
and Capt. Lovell could not obtain permission
to visit him. There was no doubt but the vef
. fel would be condemned, for the General
had said, fhefbould be condemned.

CORRECTION. aug. 28.
Capt. Lovell, mentioned in the above pa
ragraph, to have arrived from Aux Cayes,
desires us to corred the intelligence publish
ed as received by him, that it may stand with
out a deviation from the truth in the slightest
degree, viz. His loss was originally 84 joes,
but 60 of these were returned, so that his ul
timate loss was but 24—That no translation
of the treaty was made there ; the General
understanding fufficient of the English lan
guage to be able to read the treaty with the
help of a linguifter, and to know the sub
stance of each article— That, though the
General said he had ordered American vessels
trading to British ports to be brought in by
the French privateers, he does not recoiled
his faying " for andemnatto!:." Capt. Ham
met, mentioned to be captured, was not
bound from Jamaica home, but to Jeremie,
when he was taken ; and was only confined
on board his own vessel.
