aug. ^. It was yesterday reported on
Change, that peace is concluded with the
Empire. Policies are now open, that by the
Imonth of Sept, next, there wilt be a general
1 pacification.
! Peace betw^Rkmce ^ Germany
auq.l6. A will speedily be con

and the French Republic. France is to give
up all .the countries belonging to the Em

Between the Scheldt and the sea, and the for-'
rrefs of Luxembourg. r ^
The Belgic Provinces, and the country of

aug. 17. Two Military Commissions
have been eftablilhed at Vannes, to try the
prifohers taken at Quiberon. Every day
I from 60 to So are (hot. The lift, which is
Ito be printed, exceeds 600. The Chouans
are to be tried next.
aug. iß< Peace with the Geg
mea Empire, it the objeft upon
which the attention of all Europe if
now fixed. It it certain that the ne
gotiation# with the Empire will be
the most difficult and the most deci
sive ; and we shall not be at all as
tonished to fee them checked by in
triguee of all kindr.
We are now affixed that the pas-
I sage of the Rhine was effected by the
I Republican troops, on the 12th Aug.
It is thought, that thia movement has
been made, to put a period to the dif
ficoltiet which many Courts of Ger
many Bate to the conditions of peace.
Maria Theresa de Bourbon, daugh
ter of Louis XVI. ia still in the Tem
ple. Since the refufal of the Empe
ror to deliver in exchange for her, the
French Deputies and Minifteri whom
he holds in captivity, fending her to
the Court of Spain, has been talked
of. It it even affirmed that the trea
ty of Peace concluded with Spain con
tain! an article to this effed. In the
mean time, her situation io the Tem
ple would not be unpleasant, if (he
could forget her imprisonment and
misfortunes. The Committees of
^Qfafimfflt^
every thing necessary for her comfort
and convenience; shall be fappiied.
with the utmost exadnefs.
Drawing, reading and walking,
employ all her time. No book she
asks for, or with which she is likely
to be pleated, is refuted her. Those,
she reads with the most attention are
Fontenelle's Worlds, and Vely's Hif
tory of France —She every day ,fa
leave to fee her young brother. —
66 As to that poor child," laid she
lately, " I wish only that he may fall
into good hands, and that they may
make an honest man of him."— —
Hence, it appears, that she is still ig
norant of his death.
aug. 20. The powers that were
treating at Bafle, had provided meas.
ures, in cafethe head of the Empire
had refuted hi? ratification to the coa
clafam of the Diet. The States of
the Empire would under these cir
cumftanees, have made.partial treaties
of Peace • ,but the ratification of the
conclufim does away every diffitul-
Qe negotiations are carried on
with great activity ; a great point of
objection has hitherto divided the
contraaing parties : ft relates to the
barrier of the Rhine. The King of
Prussia it for France conceding the
conquests between the Meuse and the
Rhine •,but the ioftruaioos of Bar
ihelemi are, not to recede in the
smallest degree from our pretensions
ty the barrier of the Rhine. )
i^What will be the result, if it W
true as is reported, that the Prussian
Minister has ioftruftions not to recede
from the proportion which he has
made in the Name of bis Prussian
Majeft,— Time will inform us.

NATONdL CONVENTION,
\i,tb Ttomidor, Aug. 14.
Doble's in 'he name of the Com.
mitteetrf Public Safety, announced,
that fine# rhe lift account of the ope
rations o, the Armies of the Alps and
of Italy, several engagements had tak
en place, which ended to the advant
age of the Republicans, He read
the offiml letter!, which were ordered
^bejjttedfa the Bulletin ; they
are to this effi& that the army of the
,Alps and Italy had to Tuftsin,daily fe
counters with the Piedmootefe and
Austrians, who had been on all these
occasions worsted. In a letter from
Nice,_ dated the 19th, (August 6,)
Gen. Kellerman stated, that he had
just made a third excutfion, had vifi<-
ed all the posts to the right and left,
and had given frefh i^uaions to the
,Generals of the divifioni. He had
negl«ted nothing to make the" neces
sary dispositions to hatraft an enemy
lupeiior in numbers, and which threat
ened our troops with an immediate at
tack. He had announced to the fol
diets, that he would soon lead them
out agsinft the enemy, and to this
they had replied, by exclamations of
joy. which teftified their impatience.
Towards the left, the enemy had ob
tained possession of a few posts, but
these had since been recovered, and
the fliemy routed with great lofc—
Another attack to the left, bad been
fefoorted by two columns of 400
Ma each, who had defeated the eue
g%'te,pd. wogndin&frqm 70
to 80 men, and making 34 pri(ooets. b
On the 17th, (Aug. 4,) the Auffri
aos rid Piedmontefe approached the
French encampment, and were re
pulfeg with great lok.
4 Fruaidor, Aug. 21.
Our advices from the banks of the
Rhine state, that the troops which
bad been detached from the army of
the North, and that of the Sambre
and Meuse, for Brittany, have receiv
ed a counter-order, & are now march
ing to join rhe armies to which they
belong.
Our troops are so anxious to gross
the river, that they employ every pof
fibie expedient to this effect. They
had formed a plan to effe& a debark
ation in the environs of Wefel, for
which purpose they had convened
troops in forty boats, to the right
bank opposite that fortrefs. The
Commandant of the place, however,
having given him to unrierftand that
his inftractions would not allow him
to fuffer their laodingfoo the Prussian
territory, the men emtoked in the
boats were obliged to return to the
point from which they fee out.
It appears that the new defeent of
the Emigrants at St. Gilles is really
serious. Their object is to unitel
themselves with thearmy of Charette. I
A great number of troops are march
ing to that quarter, te prevent them
from effing foch a junction.
We know nothing as yet with pre
dfioo of the debarkation recently ef
feaed near the Sables d'Otone. Ina
letter from Nantes, dated the 26th
Thermidor, (Aug, 13) we have the .
following particulars : .
^j' The Commander in Chief
yesterday received the newsflhat
Chalans and St. Gilles were me-•
naced. Cancel, a General of
division, immediately let out wrih
a body of troops, ahd General W
Grouchy marched alto in the af
ternoon, with two Battalions and N
a squadron of cavalry. This
morning the Commander id
Chief learned that an inconside
rable landing had been effected
near St. Jean de Mont. The
naval force of the English, con-•
lifting of one frigate, two cut
ters, and two gun boats only, it -
would appear that the sole ob-.
je& of this defeent was to land
provisions and a few Emigrants.
This new attempt of our ene
mies will supply the Republic
with a frefli triumph."---Couri

Marvellous fight ! .
BASLE, AUG. 10.
A village called Woggis, situated
on a small lake near Lucerne, has just
di(appeared in the following manner:
a rivulet which flowed towards the s
forefaid village from the mountain of
Regis, suddenly altered its courte ;
oil following it, it was found that it
loft icfelf io a deep cavity of the
mountain. It was at the fame time
observed, that in several places near
the village the ground lurk, and that
the tower of the church appeared to
tremble. The ithabiran^ left no
time in removing their effect ; and
in a few hours the ground on which
the village was situated, fell in to-.
wards the lake, at the fame time that
a part of the mountain tumbled down
and covered the village, not a trace
of which is now to be perceived.
