Malaga the,23d of February. -
Capt. Louo further informs, that
100,006 Men, were under Arms, at
the Time of the Execution, to pre
serve Tranquillity.
That Orders had been issued by the
Spanish Government, to the several
Cities in that Kingdom to ascertain the
Numberof Men that could be raised
to Aft against Frances and that such
was the Resentment of the People of
Malaga, against the French since the
Execution, that all who were able to
bear Arms, had nearly to a Man, turn

150,0 o Men were on their March
for the French Frontier, .•
That the Letters from England, re

of a War between England and France
as uncertain. Some, however, deemed
From Gloucester, March 26, 1793°
Last Evening, at 4 o'Clock, the
Schooner Alert, Capt. Levo, arrived
here,, in 29 Days from Malaga, (in
Spain). Capt. Loud informs that Let.
ters were received by the principal
Merchants of Malaga,torn Paris, which
contained Accounts of the Decapita
tion of Louis xvr. on the 26th Jan
uary ; by a new Machine conftrunted
for the Purpose.
These Lecters further add, that
Louis, having ascended Part of the
Steps leading to the Scaffold, solicited,
and with Difficulty obtained, Permis
sion to address the assembled Spectators.
In his Address, he informed them
“ that he had been their Prince, their
King, and their Fellowcitizen ; and
that in each of thole Capacities, the
Welfare and Happiness of his Subjects
and Fellowcitizens, had been the firft
Objed of his Heart. His Life, he
said, had been demanded ; and he
readily resigned it, in hopes, that the
Sacrifice would restore to the Nation,

as that Spain was vigorouJly preparing for IVar
against France ; tbatfour tboujand regular Span

Army was entering Spain, and on their March to
Madrid, £-?c. &c.—Capt. Fowler, however,

DUBLIN, Jan. 24 —By Letters received
in town yesterday from Kells, it is reported that
a daring and desperate MOB, called Defenders,
attempted to break open the houses of several
of the inhabitants of Kells, and its vicinity and

Rationed in the houses of some of the principal
inhabitants ; and these accounts add, that 18

several taken Prisoners.—Also, a Riot at Drog

PARIS, Jan. B.— Dumourier has at
length presented his Defence, in four long
Memoirs, to the Convention, accompanied
with a Letter (inclofed) to the President, in
which fie has accused Pachb of Ignorance,
and the war Office, instead of being a Place
of Business, is no other than a Club, where
the Clerks, instead of attending to their Du
ty, are occupied in making Motions.
Dumourier's Memoirs, which have caus
ed the most lively Sensation in the Senate,
have been referred to the Committee of War
to make their Report.
The Severity of the Season causes a consid
erable Delay in all our military Operations.
The Advices that arrive daily contain little
more than Accounts of Polls of no great Con
sequence being, taken, or of Skirmishes be

Juliers, as the neutrallity of the Elector
Palatine, by his Adhesion to ^he Declaration
of the Empire, is completely broken; thi,

Clairfayt has retreated, but not in Suffi
cient Force to resist our Armies.—A decisive
Blow in that Quarter isabfolutely necessary to
destroy the Communication opened from Bonn;
and along the Moselle to Luxembourg.—Clair
fayt has, to preserve them uninterrupted; a

all the heights near Cologne, so that it appears
clear his intention is not to keep that place,but
to fall back on prince Hohenlohe's and gen.
Beaulieu's divisions.
Paris still enjoys Tranquillity, and from
the Difpotitions of the Convention,, and the
spirited Decrees of these two last Sittings, our
Apprehensions are in some Measure, diffi.
pated.

Reinforcements which arrive daily to the Al
