Demefville distributed money to certain fufpcdl
ed perform, who had refortedjto him for that
and other purposes. On the ^th October it
was afeertained that eleven of these persons had
fixed on a day and hour to assassinate the First
Consul, which was to take place at the theatre,
These people being known, the police took pro
per measures to watch them. The next day two
of these assassins were arrefled: both of them Ital
ians by birth. One of them Caracchi, was ap
; . -hended in tl.e passage behind the boxes; both
were armed with daggers. Demefville, and
others concerned, were arrefled during the
night. He and Caracchi have difeovered the
whole plot ; they were both accomplices in tlw
murders of September and at Vcrfailles, and
were hardened in their crimes. Caracchi, who
was a sculptor, had been for some time execut
ing the bust of the First Consul, who had fre
quently fat for the purpose.
Berrere, Deftrem, Lamarque, and other Ex-
Conventionalifts, arc implicated in the plot, and
have been arrested.
The conspiracy was difeovered by an emi
grant, who had agreed with the conspirators
on the day and hour in which their purpose
should be accomplished, and difeovered the
whole to the First Consul. Immediately on
this, Buonaparte, fearful that the assassins might
accomplish their designs, and that the republic
should not be in commotion by his loss, ap
pointed Gen. Moreau as his successor ; four
couriers were, accordingly, immediately dis
patched to him.
The Members of the Council of State, with
th'e liveliest emotions, heard of this conspiracy
against the life of the First Consul. They con
gratulated him, with great refpe<ft, on the de
feat of the conspiracy ,• assured him that they
would search into the bottom of the horrid de
sign, and bring the authors to condign punish
ment ; and of their undiminished confidence in
him.

7 'HE question of peace or war has never
been so difficult to resolve as at this-mo
ment. While France and its allies are naming
the ministers who are to affiff at the Congress,
we have seen only the Emperor (on the other
'fide as King of Hungary and Bohemia,) difee
der any design of fending ministers to treat of
his interests. None of the allies of Austria, as
England, Naples, the King of Sardinia, the
Princes of the Empire, and particularly the
Elector of Bavaria, appear ready to meet on
these negotiations, notwith (landing the prepara
tions which the French have caused to be made
at Luneville, announcing that several ministers
were now there. But while France and Aus
tria are exhibiting, in this refpe&, pacific inten
tions, the extraordinary levies in all the ellates
of the House of Austria, the formation at Dijon,
ofa third army of reserve, a body of 15,000
EngliQ iwhich is ready to debark at Leghorn,
•Ruffian troops passing the Dardanelles to enter
the Kingdom of Naples, the King of the Twe
Sicillies all ready for the formation of a new ar
my of 60,000 men, disclose projeas of hostility.
Why do we behold a formidable army of
aoo,ooo men assembled by the emperor of Rus
sia, upon the frontiers of Gallicia, &c. In a
word, why are there such vast preparations ?
To all these things we can only answer by a
well known axiom— lfyeu wife for Peace,,re,are

Caracchi has difeovered every thing.—This
Caracchi is the fame person, who is mentioned
by Joseph Buonaparte, when Ambassador at
Rome, in his report of the revolution there ; and
is the person wbo assassinated Gen. Duphot.
When Caracchi left Rome, he went to Ameri

PARIS, OCT. 14.
Some time since, the Police had information,
that robbers and incendiaries had it in contem
plation to set fire to the theatre, and in the tu
mult to rob and plunder. On the loth, at the
theatre, at the moment when they were to put
their design in execution, they were arrested by
the police officers. On some of them were
found flow matches and other combustibles ; and
from this extraordinary circumstance much con
fefion and many assassinations were expelled.
It was conje& ured, that the life of the First Con
sul was the object ; and of course, that none
but Jacobins could be concerned in it. They
have been arrested, and daggers and pistols have
been found on them. This story has been re
ported in so many ways, that the official journal
has assured the public, that the vigilance of the
Police had developed the conspiracy ; that the
greater part of the conspirators had been arrest
ed And that the play went on without a mo
ment's interruption.

their backs, they addressed the First Consul, and
in a laconic manner dcfcribed the devotion of
their comrades of the army to him.
Yesterday the Members of the Tribunate
waited on the First Consul, in company with his
two colleagues, the Ministers and Counfellors of
State. Craffou, the President of the Tribunate,
addressed Buonaparte, and etpteffed a wish to
difeover the authors of the conspiracy, that they
might receive due punifbment. Buonaparte,
in answer, said, " That it would not be in the
power of eight or nine assassins to take his life,
while the public confidence was reposed in him,
and he was furreunded by his brave guard."
And added, " if it should ever be the case, that
he had loft that confidence, his life was of no
estimation to him."

During Buonaparte's flay at Morfontaine, the
Prefect of the Department presented him with
a number of gold medals, some time since found
in an carthern vessel. They were of good pre
servation and of ancient dates ; —Some of them
as early as the firft years of the Ro^an Empire,
and others in the days of that Republic. The
prefe& observed, that those miffing from the
vessel in which these were found, would be hard
to come at ; as the possessors of them were fear
ful, that the government, as in former times,
would claim them as its right. "In our times,"
said Buonaparte, " the government will not op
pose the good fortune of the citizens; but care
must be taken that they be not melted, as they
will be ufeful in developing ancient hiftory—
Therefore, buy up as many of them as you can !"
Those that were presented to Buonaparte he
gave to Mr. Davie, the American Commissioner.
A reform will be made in the French cavalry
as well as in the infantry—three regiments will
be reduced to two; by which derangement a
reduction of B,cob officers will be made.

" We failed from Leghori, on the 16th ult.
on the morning of which day the French (in
what numbers I know not) tock possession of the
town. The German garrifoncapitulated under
condition that they should be permitted to join
their main army with baggage, cannon and ev
ery thing belonging to them. Gen. Clement,
commander of the French troops, issued a Pro
clamaticn upon entering the town ; the fummum
of which was, That the civil government of Tuf
cany,owing to the good harmony, that fulfilled
between France, and the Court of Vienna, was
to undergo no change whatsoever ; the inhabit
ants, of whatsoever nation they might be, had
nothing to fear, since he guaranteed to them, in
in the most sacred manner, the fafety of their
persons and property, and invited any of them,
who might have fled, under apprehensions of
danger, to return to their homes, where they
would not be molefled in the smallest degree.
" The above event was as sudden as unexpect
ed, for in virtue of the prolongation of the ar
mistice, we conceived ourselves perfectly secure.
If we are to judge front the manner the Austrian
commander in Chief in Tuscany, General So
raariva, expressed himfelf ih his Proclamation to
the Tufcans, announcing the invasion about to
take place ; it was a gross infringement of the
armistice. Some suppose that France and Au
stria, are, notwith Handing, perfectly agreed up
onthe fabjed, as peace between them was be
lieved to be upon the eve of being concluded,
and that the cession of Leghorn was to shut the
port to the British, and thereby incline the lat
ter Hill more to accept term&of peace. These
are, however, conje&ures which time alone
can bring to maturity.
" All the British property was embarked for
Palermo, and I believe they will fuffer but
little ultimately, by the invasion."

BOSTON, DEC. 18
The iiTue of the electoral election in
South Carolina, hangs in doubtful fuf
pence ; we hear of many furmifes.and
conjedures, many high bets on the fub
jea; but nothing can as yet, fatisfy the
mind. The event is of incalculable
importance, and has, as was naturally
to be expected, excited the highest de
gree of anxiety. From the following
articles, perhaps some opinion may be
drawn in what manner it will termi
nate ; and to these we must refer our
readers :—
No conclusion favorable to the elec
tion of Mr. Jefterfon can be drawn
from the above, supposing it to be ac
curate. The senate of S. Carolina,
composed almost intirely of Federalists,
confided of 37 members, and the house
of reprefentatives,when all met, amount
to 124 ; so that although the friends
of Mr. J. may have been very indus
trious, in making a quorum and choos
ing a speaker, yet when the eledon of
President and Vice-President came on
4 days afterwards, matters may have
worn a different afpeft, from the joint
vote of both houses and from the Feder
alists in thrower house having increas
ed their numbers to 70, which has been
said to be their strength. Balt, Fed, Gaz.

PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 9.
The editor of the Aurora this morn
ing, exultingly boafls that the eledion
of Mr. Galliard, as speaker of the house
of Representatives of South-Carolina is
proof positive that there is an anti-fede
ral majority. We are willing to ad
mit Mr. Gallaird was eleded, but this
is no proof of the house being anti-fede
ral. Mr. Gallaird is esteemed by all
his corn-patriots, and was voted for by
both parties. In fad he is not a demo
crat. We again repeat, and the pub
lic may rely on it, that the Legislature
is Federal. We could give high au
thority for our assertion, but at present
we think it fuperfluous. [Gaz. U.S.]
Charleston papers have been receiv
ed in town, vi,i New-London, to the 2d

mention made of the great national e
leftion there than merely a nomination
of the Federal and Jacobin candidates
for EledorS ißeports prevailed here
yesterday, said to have been received by
the vessel which brought the above
mentioned papers to New London, that
the Jacobin ticket of Electors had suc
ceeded in the Legislature, and that they
had voted unanimouQy for Jefferfon
and Burr. Without knowing what
pcfog e this vessel had, it is impossible to
fay what degree of truth ought to be
attached to this dark and gloomy in
telligence. It is certainly very much
unlike what has been expeded from
that State ; and totally opposed to the
opinions and declarations of many of
its firft and best informed citizens, who
have confidently assured their friends,
that both branches of the legislature
would have federal majorities.
