No offensive operations have taken
place on this fide of the Rhine ; but
the French and Austrian armies are in
light of each other on the opposite
banka. The French shew a strong
disposition to cross that river. It is
laid that Geo. Ciairfait it preparing to
move with the main body of his forc
es towards the Brifgau, intending to
leave Meptz to the foie defence of
.'the army of the empire. We think
this movement is extremely probable.
Yesterday detachments from the
7th, nth, i,h and 16th light dra
goons, embarked at Mr Perry'> Dock,
Backwall, on a secret expedition.—
They were in all about 600 men.
Each detachment had a greater num
ber of horses than men. They are|
to rendezvous at Sheerness, and there
wait for some tranfporte with heavy
cavalry which are coming round from
the North. It is supposed their def
lination it for France.

His Imperial Majesty's Mihifters have or
- dered the following notice to be inserted in
111 the foreign Gazettes:
, VIENNA. JUNE 14,1795.
" A report has been IpreaJa Rat
ifb in, as well as at several other Grr
man Courts, that the Imperial Court,
by the intervention of Count Carletci,
was carrying on negotiations at Paris,
which were already in such a Race of
forwardness, that it was a^uaHy a
greed on to cede to the French the
left ba kt of the Rhine, on condition
that they not only restored to his Im
perial M.jefty the Austrian Nether
lands, but also furthered the exchange
of the fame for the Duchy of Bavaria;
and that in purluance of (hu agree
ment, the French would be put in
full and quiet poffeffiob of the laid
left banks of the Rhioea^ This re
port is hereby formally and in the
most positive manner declared to be,
what it really is, an absurd and child
ish story, the further circulation of
which H the more to be considered as
a calumniating lender, as the Impe
rial Court, since the beginning of the
prelent war, has never entertained the
least idea of entering info negotiations
of peace with the French, and muca
left of employing for that purpose the
thus called Count Carletti.v

We uoderftaod that hu Majesty's
frigate Iphigenia, lately capured a
large vessel coming out of Aux-Cayes,
and has carried her into hois. Rigaud
had accommodated her with Ameri
can papers, and difpitched her for;
that continent, with a great deal of
specie on board ; but frem intercept
ed letters it has appeared that the is a
good prize.
Accounts are said to have been re
ceived in this town, that the Spaniards
are in daily expedition of the arrival
of a fleet at the Havanna, confiding
of from 10 to 12 fail of the line, un
der the command of Admiral Solana,
having on board from 5 to 6000
troops.;
There are upwards of 20 privateers
belonging to and cruising from Aux-
Cayes ; the principal among them,
and the one which has done the most
mi(chief, is the Cassius of 18 guns,
commanded by Capt. B. Davis, an
American, well known in this town,1
where he resided several months.

NATIONAL CONVENTION, June 14.
Letter from Champeau and Topst nt, on mission at
Brefl.
" We have hitherto avoided (peek
ing of the kind of dominion which
the popular society of Brest arrogates
to itfelf, over all the parts and objeds
of the administration ; cur silence was
occasioned by the hope *hat our fra
ternal representatives would bring the
foeiety back to the real precipes of
ra infliction. But our efforts have 4
been useless ; and we are Convinced
by what paffea daily under our eyes,
that since the deftruftion of the Ja
cobins, the tyranny of several other
popular forties has only changed its;
obj.a. We must ell you with trank-1
neli, chat the public fpii f of the par
tial foeiety of Brest, is such that the 1
authority of the co flouted authoti-;
ties of this commune, is almost null,
and that witnoutjhe counterpoise of
the National fcprefentation. which
they dare not yet refute to acknowl
edge!, the popular foeiety would di
rea at will the whole political mfr
chine. The fafety of the city, its in
ternal arid external guard, its police,
the provifioni, the fuppliei for the
fleet, every thing, in short, is at their
command. At least the foeiety be
lieves so ; for public discussions on
all these things are held in it. Ar
rets are made, commrfirim appoint
ed, and the public functionaries are
ordered to give tn account of the
state of the magazines. Th'us, that
transpires which ought to be kept a
profound secret. If the popular so
ciety continues' this mode qf conduct,
we &all be forced to diffo ve ir.

Network Sept. 6. " Have those a
claim to the title of Republicans, fays
the Aurora, who pretend that ourfate
aia nation hangs on onq man ?"
No, certainly. No man pretends
I Ibis. We do not Append our happi
nels on one mao, however good or
great. The fupporters.of our admin
istration do not rally round Walhirg
ton as a mao, but round his principles
as a patriot. When the Pre fidear
defeats the constitution, his friends
will abandon him. When he mistakes
the true policy of this country, all'
men will agree in censuring his mea
, fures and obtaining redrefi. fibber,
to such inftanra have not occurred.
The people believe him right, and for
this reason support him, and they
will support him.
Our Jacobins pretend the French
will take umbrage at our treaty, and
direful confcquencet are presided
from their wrach.
But if the French are to dianite to
us whether we (hall make treaties orl
not, we are Gripped of all title to in-4
dependence. Let the French nation I
learn that they have nothing to dol
with this thing, but to fee that we do
not invade their rights. If we observe
good faith to them, they have not a
word to fay. This we have done.
. The treaty with Greatbri^ain does
not infringe a single right or claim of
the French nation, and it is their buf
ine(i tobe silent on the fubjeQ. They
have as little right to complin of
this treaty, as we have to complain
of their treaty with Prussia. Let the
French prove they are the generous
difhUeretled nation we used to think
them, and not attempt to impose
(hackles on our government.
Nothing can equal the abuse cast
on the President, in conftquence of
his ratification of the treaty, and his
xnfwer to the town meeting refolu«
tions. The oppoler# of our admjn
iftration have hitherto found it possi
ble to do almost any thing towards
rendering measures odious among
their weak and credulous partisan,,
but have not been able to render the
Pe^en ? unpopular. Such have been
the unmfguded franknefs of his char
ader, the unfufpeded reaitude of hit
condud, and the uniform pamotifm
of his mtafures, that hitherto faction
has never ventured openly to assail
the father of his country, and friend
of human kind. At length the trea
ty is supposed to furnifh strong ground
to ereft the batteries of calumny, and
fadion has boldly hazarded the at
te >pt to render our old tried friend
odious and fafpeaed, and chut to de
tach from him the confidence of hit
country. Insolent effrontery ! Base
and treacherous policy !
Ye traitors to your country, be afi
fared you mistake your strength!
Walhiogton stands strong upon the
high ground of integrity, patriotism,
and public confidence!'
You alledge he has refufed to lis
ten to the voice of the people, and
has treated their remonstrances with
contempt. This is falte. He has an
swered the Jacobins of our country
with great delicacy—he has told them
he must follow the conftiturion, and
not buffer his real opinion and judge
merit to be influenced by irregular
urnthorifed meetings. What could
he do left ? He is bound by the con
ftuution, and is responsible for his
conduct Ie is not Washington alone
that (peaks in his answer; it is the
conftiweion of his country, which he
is (worn to observe, and which in thia
instance, he has declared „ith a dig- 1
Inicy and firmnefi, becoming the firft
magistrate of a free people.?
He has „/ refufed to liflen to the
voice of the American nation.. Not
a tenth of the people have ever Otter
ed a public opinion on the fubjeft.—
But when they fhal lgive their opin
ion, you will find to your mortifica
tion, that the voice of the Nation to
with the President. ' '
With such dignity did the Conven
tion of France speak the voice of rea
ton and law, to the insurgents of St.
Antoine. They silenced an outrage
ous populace of deluded jacobins;
and from that great example, may
the Jacobins of America learn modes
ty, wiidom, and the rights of man.
