PARIS, march 27. THE tumults, which
the scarcity of bread excited, are subsiding.
The committee of provisions has done every
thing in its power, and the armed force Stand
ready to crulh any insidious attempt to ex

cobins, or by women'.
Talien, Freron. and Legendre, Still retain
their popularity—but the tadion is busily at
work. Some concuflion is daily expected—
what party it will destroy we cannot even
conjecture ; even the Moderates, Strong as
they are, do not feel fully Secure ; and the
proposition of Seiyes, for eroding a rallying
point tor the Convention, has given the
friends to order a serious cause of alarm.
Our armies still Continue fucctfsful ; but
no great objects are in contemplation. Na

the Republic,—Frenchmen now occupy all
within their limits.
The Convention has done a great id of

The following letter was yesterday polled

received at Yarmouth :
From Italy the accounts are, that an ap
plication has been made to the Archduke to
permit a French army to march through
Tufeany, to which he has not given his as
font, but such an alarm has been thereby
given tothe English inhabitants in Florence,
that they were on the eve of their departure.
There has been a very considerable riot in
Rome. The Pope had prohibited masque

The populace rose on this occasion, and
threatened outrages of an alarming nature,
which were with difficulty suppressed.

Some French and American Republicans
lately erected a new cap of Liberty in the
Coffee room of the Tontine, entwined by
the American and French flags. On the
morning of the 19th, somebody went into
the room, broke the lamps under the Cap,
and tore the French flag. It is charged to
a Mr. William Anderson, lately from Eng
land, and a reward of 150 dollars is adver
tised for apprehending him. This has railed
some ill blood ; a number of Frenchmen,
resenting the insult, have attacked the cham

regimental coat, brought it down, and tore
it to pieces t
