Sitting of the 16th Floreal, (51b May.)
BARRERE in the name of the com
mittee of publick fafety, made the follow
ing communication.
Viftory is permanent ih the whole fouth
of the Republic. The tri-coloured ftdnd
ard is flying on the whole Alps and on the
whole Pyrenees.
The representatives of the people with
the army of Italy, have made themselves
rafters of Saorgio, of all the camps of the.
Austrians and Piedmontefe, of 60 pieces
of cannon, and a great number of mortars,
and howitzers. The enemy put fire to
all they left behind but our brave breth
ren in arms saved the magazines,, killed
almost 30=0 slaves, made a great many
prisoners. The Republic has to regret
the loss of Brig. Gen. Brule, and Adju
tant General Langlois, which Was bayo
netted in putting his hands on a Pied
;'mentefe redoubt. The names of those
two Republicans' shall be engraved on a
column, which in the Pantheon, is to
transmit to posterity the names of the he
roes of the Republic: Our wounded a
mounted to about 250 or 300.
The army of Italy will have no rest un-=
til they have annihilated the tyrant of
Piedmont, who is said to have fled. The
Representatives further add, that we are
masters of Leatena, St. Martain, Bel
vedere, and another point, and that de
serters come in in grea t.numbers.
On the fame day, and at the fame hour,
f the army of the eastern Pyrennees had an

least two hundred pieces of cannon, all
their ammunition; magazines full of all
kinds of stores, one general officer, three
colones 75 officers of different rank, all
their tents, camp equippage, &c. Our

" The Revolution in Poland is at the
highest pitch. The patriots have consti
tuted themselves into a revolutionary bo
dy. They are matters of Warsaw, and all
the Polish artillery contained in the affe
nal of that capital. The King is in their
hands, as alfothe Prussian Ambaffadour,
Mr. Von Bocholtz, and Von Afch, the
Ruffian refident.''

[Capital of Poland. ]
ON the goth ultimo, Gen. Kosciusko
left this city, taking the route for
Warsaw, his army of regulars and artille
ry having been reinforced by 4000 pea
sants, armed with pikes, feythes, &c.
The day before yetterday, which was
the 4th inst. at a village called Raclawica,
which is about seven German miles from
Cracow, on the road to Warsaw, he met
with a body of Ruffian troops, consisting
of about 6000 men, with a paik of heavy
artillery, who were marching against Cra
cow, for the purpose of feducingit. They
were headed by the Ruffian Gen. Thur
manzow, and advanced in three columns
to the attack of the Poles wiffi great im
petuofity.
Some squadrons of the Polish Cavalry
were defeated at the firft onset ; but their
infantry, led on by Gen. Kosciusko in per
son and supported by the whole body of
the peasants, attacked the Ruffian centre
with such afpirit of desperation that the
line was immediately broken, and a dread
ful carnage of the Ruffian troops ensued,
the peasants refufing to give any quarter
The Ruffian corps de reserve, then at
tempted to take the Poles in flank ; but
this plan was rendered abortive by the
vigilance and coolness of Gen. Kosciusko,
and it was likewise completely defeated,
and the whole Ruffian army dispersed.
Colonel Woronzow was taken prisoner.
Upwards of a thousand Ruffians were kill
ed upon the field, while the Poles loft on

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
APg°iL 26. The confpiratibn lately
difeovered at Naples, was a second Gun
powder Plot. We have already stated,
that his Neapolitan Majesty had laid cer
tain 'fines on the Nobility and Clergy for
the support of the war. Some ofthefe
were so much irritated at this measure,
that they laid a plan to blow up the Pal
ace by gun-powder, and with it, the King
and his Ministers. The conspiracy was
difeovered by one Medices, a Judge.—
The Lazzarouis, a class of working peo
ple, very formidable on account of their
numbers, on hearing of the plot, flew in
a body to the King and offered their ser
vices; and it was not until after much
entreaty that his Majesty was able to pur
fuade them from their intemperate zeal
to puniffi the Nobles, .Several of whom
have been arrested.

London, April, io. An extraor
dianary circuraftance is mentioned in the
Vienna print to have happened in that
metropolis., A Jew living in the third
story of a house, near the great Custom-
House, was playing with his only child, a
boy of fix years old, at a window, when,
Unluckily the child leaped out of the win
dow ; the diftraded fattier was running
down stairs, expeding in theftreet to pick
up the lifelefs remains of his dear child,
when he was presented with the boy, al
most unhurt, by a porter, who accidental
ly looking upwards in passing by the house,
caught the child in his arms.— The fat her
has presented the porter with a bank note
of 2000 florins, and departed with him,
with a request to apply to him whenever
he should be in want.
The English (hip the Ardent, of 74
guns, is loft hands and all ; it is supposed
that die is blown up. The fragments
found of this ship, and the longboat which
has been brought into the port of Frojas
juftify this supposition.

“ After an engagement of 8 hours, the
enemy, to the number of 60,000, attack
ing in three columns, has been entirely
routed by an equal force ; we cut off his
retreat, and made 15,000 prisoners ; we
have taken 32 pieces of cannorf and kill
ed or wounded 4000 men : the Hanove
rian General, and 32 officers, are fallen
into our hands : the enemy was pursued
to St. Leges, a league and an half from
Tourney. The enemy's plan was to sur
round us at Courtray, and give fuccours
to Menin, which was in a refpeftable state
of defence ; but Menin Surrendered at 6
o'clock in the morning of the tilth Flo

pieces of cannon, and put to the sword

is Col. Strong's being now on his way out
