THE KING OF PRUSSIA,
TO THE
PRINCE OF SAXE COBOURO.
" T AM eager to inform you, that it is my
I intention to give orders to my, Field
Marshal Moellensdorf,to leave behind a
corps of 20,000ineh, under the command of
Lieutenant Gen. Kalrevth, to withdraw
with the rest of my army from the environs
of Mentz, and to march towards Cologne.*
I request you, for that purpose, to take the
necessary measures, that the retreat of the
1 most considerable part of my troops do not
turn out advantageous to the entmy, but that
the fortrefs of Mentz, and the Empire in gen
eral, remain covered against hostile invasion.
It being in other refpe&s necessary to make
arrangements to procure to the troops who
put themselves on their march the necessary
provisions on the road to Cologne, their de
parture will not follow so rapidly ; and those
troops Biall not file off at once, but by divis
ions. You will, therefore, have time fuffici
ent to mike the necessary dispositions. I
hope, at the fame time, that you will have
the goodness to take such measures, 'that
when, Field Marshal Mobllendorf Biall
have finifhed his preparations, and when, by
virtue of the orders received, he fall have
informed you of the days on which the troops
shall depart, the execution of this resolution
do not fuffer any obstacle. (Signed)
“WILLIAM FREDERICK."
Pot/dam, March 11, 1794.
* Cologne is about So miles N. W. of Mentz.

FRANKFORT, MARCH IJ. The negoci
ations between the Austrian and Prussian
Ministers, at Vienna, are entirely broken off ;
the former having decidedly declined acced
ing to the demands of his Prussian Majesty,
though warmly Seconded by the British Min
ister. The consequence will be, that the
Prussian army against France will be only
'20,000 men, the contingent of the Elector of
Bradenburgh, instead of 100,000.
"^Brussels, march 16. The French, it
is positively asserted, have agreed to give a
; large sum of money to the King of Prussia,
part of which has already passed their fron^
tier;; in consideration whereof, his Prussian
Majesty, who, it is feid, does not consider
himfelf immediately interested in the war,
fgns with them a treat, of Peace and Alliance.
Q
lower RHINE, march 24. According
toevery information, the negotiation of the
King of /raffia with the circles, has termin
ated unfavourably ; as the elector of Bavaria
and the Duke of Wurtemburg having excHf
ed themselves, their example has been fol
lowed by several other States. Since this we
'have received certain information of the im
mediate return of.tie Prussian troops into )
Cologne# the contingent excepted.
The Eledor of Bonn, arrived at that place
on Saturday last, to apprize the chapter of
the circumstance ; as ,11b a Prussian officer, ,
.whose bufiriefs was to inform the magistrates
of the fame, and to take the necessary meas
ures for providing for th^ troops on their
mirciafo ,& .^ /

paris, march 28. The Paris papers
' contain several observations on the King of
' Prussia's defeaion. The following are ex
tra&ed from ? Lee Annaks Patrittquej and
" The coalesced powers are reduced to the
necessity of making a gathering for the pur
pose of preventing the defection of Frede

.Holland a fifth, and ffie Imperial States a
' fifth : Pitt must advance the money for
Holland ; but it remains to be proved, whe
ther Frederick will not prefer a retreat to a
fnbfidy, and whether other of the coal,feed
power's will not demand subsidies to enable
thdu to remato in the coalition.^ % ~

ly put by some honourable friends of his, and
which had not yet received any answer from
Ministers—it was refpeaing a rumour that
prevailed every where for some days past,
and was received with every appearance of
truth- He meant this plain queftion,—
" Whether the King of Praffia bad, or bad not,
withdraiun from the conf derar, of the powers al
lied against France ? Andtbut left us engaged in
a deftruftive and expensive war, after taking,
from us so effntial a part of the support be was
bound to give)' He considered the whole of
this question as requiring from its import
ance a speedy difeuffion ; in hopes,jherefore,
that it would soon come before the House, he
would not now detain them longer."
Mr. PITT remained fant !
march 31. An important change is
likely to take place in the affairs of Europe—
namely, the withdrawing of the King of
Prussia from the confederated powers against
Prance. In the case of his Royal Majesty's
defection, it will no longer be problematical,
how this bloody and expensive war will ter
minate. The French will establish their
Republick, and credulous John Bull, as usu
al, will be left in the lurch, to pay the piper.
Os France and its affairs.
PARIS, MARCH 20. —All is quiet at this
moment, and the Revolutionary Tribunals
about to proceed on the trial of Chabot and p
his colleague.
march 25. —This morning at 9 o'clock,
in consequence of the yerdia of the Revolu
tionary Tribunal, given yesterday, the fol
lowing persons were brought from the pris
on of the Conciergerie, to the Place de la
Revolution, where they fuffered under the
axe of the Guillotine, viz. Hebert, Roufin,
Momoro, Vincent, Du Croquet, Kocq, a
Dutchman, Colonel Laumur, M. M. Bour
geois, Mazuel, La Boureau, Ancard, Le
Clerc, Proly, Desfinex, Anacharfis, Cloots,
Pereira, Florent, Amand, Defcombles', and
Dubuifon, convi&ed of being the authors
and accomplices of a conspiracy which exist-:
ed against the liberty and fafety of the peo
ple, and against the exercise of the lawful au
thority, tending to trouble the slate by a civ
il war, by arming the citizens against each
other,the objeQ of which was,in the course of
the present month,Ventofe,to dissolve the na
tional representation to assassinate its mem
bersand the patriots to destroy the republi
can government, to seize upon the sover
eignty of the people, and to give a tyrant to
the state. 0
The wife of Momoro has been arrested.
She used to assist at all the civic fetes in the
character of the Goddess of Reason.
General Santerre has been arrested and
sent to prison.
march %.—At the trial of the conspi
rators, only one, Laboreau, was acquitted.
As soon as he wa§ liberated, the president
ofthe tribunal embraced him, and placed
him at his fide, while the hall resounded with
applauses. When the sentences were pro
nounced, Anacharfis Clootz was the only
bne who addressed the auditors. He appeal
ed to the human race, whose constant orator
he had been. „ CT .
The conspirators, when carried back to
thFChnciergerie, demanded a gallon of wine
to be divided among them and some soup.
l About nine yesterday morning they were
conveyed in three carts to the place of exe
cution. Never did a fpeaacle attrad such a
croud ; such an infinite number of fpeda
tors. During the whole way along, hands
were clapped, and hats tolled in the air, a
midst the cry of " Live the Republic." In
fenfibfe to the indignation manifested against
them, they passed along, and when at the
foot of the fcaffold, they embraced each oth
ter. Hebert, vulgarly entitled Father Du
chefne, was guillotined the last, and his head
was displayed to the people. At this fight
the clapping of hands and (hoots of the
fpedators were accompanied by the cry of
" live the Republic."
Further difeoveries are made every day
with refpe& to the late conspiracy.
Claviere, brother to the minister of that
name, Vergennes, Lepelletier, Rofambo, La
tour du Pin, Madame Joly de Fluery, Gen.
Roufin's wife and several others, were taken
up yesterday. C

leagues from Granyille, and fix from Jersey.
The official accounts received on Saturday,
make this force amount to 20,000 men.
There are 34 fail of the line, & three French
frigates lying in Cancale Bay, besides three
more frigates cruizing off Chaufe.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL I. Intelligence has
been received, that very active and extraor
dinary preparations are now making at Dun
kirk ; in consequence of which government
have dispatched several officers to look closely
into that harbour, and have collected a fleet
in the Downs, to answer any emergency.
One of the circumstances least favourable
to the hope, that the finances of the French
Convention will speedily fail, is the reduc
tion of 250 millions per month in theexpenf
es of their army,

now so numerous on the French coast, and so
very vigilant in difeharge of their duty, that
they fuffer nothing, to pass unnoticed.—
Within these few days upwards of twenty ves
sels have been sent into this harbour, fuppof
ed to be bound to France, no less than seven
fail of which arrived yesterday ; and our ac

you will treat them as brethren, for
they are men, and they are difaim

that reparation to which they are en
titled ; you will assure them that the
conduct hitherto observed toward#
them is repugnant both to the princi

imitate the condud of despots ; let
us leave to those deftroyere of the
earth to boast their beneficence in the,
manifeftoes with which they inun
date the globe, while they ravage
it, whilst they massacre us for our
good, and treat with the most artro
cious barbarity the defenders of liber
ty and sacred laws of their country.
Let us not punish these wretched pal
five agents of tyrants for the crimes
of their pretended masters ; let us
rather commiserate them ; they are
(laves ; their blood, lavished to anni

Let themselves judge between those

Can so low an idea affe& us ? Their
kings fear us : Do they therefore
treat us with humanity ? Besides,
what is it to us what they may fay ?
Should the applause of (laves and ty
rants be a principle to influence the
adions of republicans ? The praises
of either can only be the price of base
