The day before yesterday, the persons
lately employed in the theatre of Montan

the commune, that by (hutting up the
theatre, they were deprived of bread,that
they wei'e ifu?ft of them fathers of fami

and that if the danger of setting fire to
the national library was the only obje&iorf
to fufiering them to perform precautions
might be taken to prevent such an acci
dent.
a c.vllfcrutiny wltlrrefpe& to their patri
otism.
On the ioth the council general re
folvcil, That, confidefing the great ex
pence of guarding the prisoners in the
I «s<viple, the convention ihould be petiti
i&cd to transfer the prisoners to the t>rdi
ary prisons, and bring them to trial with-
uu« uciay
It has been Itrongly rumoured r or some
days putt, that an attempt was intended
to be mace to rifcue the number of un
haQpy persons in the different prisons. In
consequence of this report, Henriot, the
Commandant, yefterdny ordered the fol
lowing declaration to fcrts polled up in every
ftrcet:
" I beseech my comrades to use their
utmost vigilance round the prisons of la
Force and la Conctergerie. There cxifts
a very hideous plot, the consequences of
which mult be extremely disadvantageous
to society, if we do not prevent it. Let
us watch these asylums; examiae those
who enter and go out:—the gold of Ty
rants paflts through every crevice, and
causes more ravages than whole armies of
Despots."
They were allowed to open the theatre
provifionally,under the dire&ion of a com
mittee of their own body, but not to ex
hibit any thing in the nature of fireworks.
It was also ordered that the watchmen
and firemen, in attendance at the theatre
should be doubled.
Culli, the deputy under sentence of
outlawry, was executed on the 16th.
General was condemned on
the 15 ill, and executed on the 16th.
Genjr.il Launay is committed to the
Abbavt.
Tnt Ja ft return of prisoners is 3,272.
For some clays great uneafinels have
been felt for the town of Dol, which was
menaced by the royalists.. The rumour
is now confirmed, that the inhabitants of
Doi have been obligled to open their
gates to the rebels, after the lols of many
brave republicans.
On the fame day, a member of the
council announced, that in the house of
Choubert, formerly receivcr-general of the
finances, and in other houses in the sec
tion of Indivifibiiity, he had found 375
marks of gold in ingots, 269 marks of
silver in ingots, 621 marks of silver in
plate, and 1,130,000 livres in coin,which
had been all carried to the mint.
The revolutionary tribunal bas acquit
ted Michonis, and 8 other perfons,charg
ed with having aided the late queen in a
confpiracv against the republic; but proofs
having appeared, that Michonis was aid
ing in the conspiracy, although it could
not be proved that he was wilfully and
knowingly aiding, he was ordered to be
detained as a fufpedled person till peace*
The number of prisoners, by the last
report, is 3,3 15.
From Toulon, we hear, that Spanifli
pride and Englilh bluntnefs, have produc
ed a quarrel; that each party diftrulls
the other, and both the French traitors
who put them in pofleffion of the port.
With vefpeft to the fafety of the repub
lic, we enjoy the molt tranquil confidence
—In every quarter, we have baffled both
oirr external and internal enemies; inmany
we have been victorious. Ourtreafury is
in such a state of wealth as the world ne
ver vitneffed. Our affignats are at par,
and the security for them is immense. Be
frd"S the gold and silver brought from e
verv quarter, the national property, the
property of the emigrants, the property
of the civil lift, form an inexhaustible ca
pital. Such a treasury, the raising of
800,000 youth for the dcfence of the
frontieis, and the ardour of all Frenchmen
in the common cause, ought to convince
the other powers of Europe, that the
French Republic cannot perilh, and that
in spite of all their efforts, we will be
free.

As A. B. can scarcely believe himfclf
to be " a prodigy of genius," notwith
standing the commendation of the er/t\iunt
Gracchus, he is {till in the dark about
that fame plain bnfinefs of Sovereignty.
He hopes, therefore, for additional infor
mation, with regard to it, if the Nation,
will allow the necefiary leisure to his con
descending inftru&or. He would pre
sume to enquire, if it may be done with
out offence to this fupercilioi:3 gentleman,
whether the sovereign people having veiled
certain fpecificd parts of their sovereign
ty in the President, as their Representa
tive with regard to foreign powers, it
may not be said, that he is, in these instan
ces, a sovereign for the people ; to fpenk
in their name, and a& with their power."
A.B.refpectfully declares,that he docs not,
by this statement. mean to be pert with
his sagacious instructor, nor to controvert
his position, that "Legislation (in which
the President also comes in for a (hare) is
a portion of sovereignty, and the body
which has the legislative power is the so,
vercign" in that refpedfc for the people ;
he only suggests, that " the Representa

led a sovereign for the people, ußiier the
