been completely out generalled by Mo

"—UNION.—
A paper is handing about giving an eftimatc
of thefums of money that must for the future
be annually spent out of Dublin, together with
the amount of property in houses, furniture, &c.
that must come to the hammer in consequence of
the removal hence 'of the principal Members of
both Houses, except those engaged in the pro
feffion of the law. After giving a lift of the
Upper and Lower Houses the estimate sets forth,
that near 600,000 l a year of income will be
spent out of Dublin, which was usually expended
here, and that upwards of Boo,obpl. worth of
property in houses, furniture, &c. will be pub
licly fold in this city and the amount carried
elfeu here.
The above paper contains the following pas
sage ■ " Whatever be the benefits that may, in
process of time, accrue to the kingdom at- large
from the adoption of this measure, [Union] con
cerning which,there exists a very great diversity
of ientiment, it is yet agreed on all hands that

the island who always spend their winters here,
and of the crowd of others that must henceforth

NANTES, MAY 16.
Yesterday at noon, one of the tow
ers of the castle, containing about 8 or
900,000 pounds of powder blew up,
.with a tremendous noise. The build
ings attached to the tower have been
partly destroyed. In a moment the
great court of the castle, the ditches sur
rounding trees, courts, and fcveral
quarters of the town, were covered
with ruins ; several houses were vio
lently Shaken, and feme thrown down.
A 4-pounder was carried beyond the
ditch to the foot of the terrace of the
' Court, the wheels of the carriage were
carried another way ; another 4-poun
der with its, carriage and wheels was
blown to the top of the ci-devant
church of the Carmelites. A bar of
iron, very thick, arid long was twilled
and broken, and fell into the court of
the prison of Bouflay, with some balls
and other wrecks.
An incalculable quantity of panes
of glass was broken. Many pieces of
furniture were thrown down. Several
trees in the court-yard were much
damaged ; windows and doors were
burst open, and many houses unroofed.
One univerlal scream of terror was
heard throughout the city. The alarm
became general in a moment ; almost
all the inhabitants ran out of their hous
es. The report spread with the quick
ness of lightning, and the castle was
blown up.. A thick and dark cloud
arofc from the place of the disaster, and
redoubled the consternation. There
was reason to fear that the whole build
ing would take fire, & that the flames
would catch the grand magazine of
powder. The houses were immediate
ly abandoned, and between 15 and
20,000 persons of all ages and sexes fled
towards the barriers to escape this feene
of horror.
The Prefect and General Gilbert
gave orders. Strong detachments of
the garrison and national guard pro
ceeded towards the castle, got possession
of all the avenues, and affiled the fire
men, who dillinguilhed themfeives in a
very extraordinary manner. Order was
soon re-etlablifhed; The number of

Private letter from the Army of Reserve, June 4,
The name of the Generals who di

Yesterday evening it was said that the

have been sent to the hospitals.
It is not known how the fire began.--
The explosion took place at noon, when
happily the workmen had left off work.
The church of St. Nicholas having
been much Shaken by the explosion, at
the time of the celebration of mass, the
people hurried to the doors, nd seve

The fame accident took place at the
church of St. Laurent.
The ditches of the castle are filled
with vast ruins. Fragments of wall of
great thickness, mark, at the fame time,
the strength of the building thrown
down, and of the explosion. Those e

A letter from Vienna, dated June
• 4, announces that the Prussian minister
of state, count Hangwitz, is arrived
privately in that capital, where he has
had several conferences with M. Thu
gut, -which are supposed to relate to an
approaching peace : that another
Frericfr courier had arrived there on the
26th May, with frefh propositions on
the part of the firft consul ; and that
- the public voice calls for the re-appoint
ment of the archduke Charles to the
command of the armies, &c.~
The forty-nine commissioners of po
lice, the twenty-four peace officers, and
others of the commune of Paris, are
required, by<anedi& issued by the pre
feet of police, to aflift, by every means
in their power, the searches for con

The greatest obstacles and new glory
awaited the aripy before the cattle of
Bard. The enemy flattered themfeives
that this castle would flop the French
from penetrating into the plains of Ita
ly. In this they were warranted by
the opinion of engineers, and the expe
rience of ages. In less than three days
a road was made on the heights of Al
barde, to turn the fort. Its steepness
was such, that a cavalier, when lead
ing his horse, was obliged to catch at
the point of the rock to prevent his be
ing precipitated. It was by this path
that on the 6th Prairial Buonaparte and
Berthier crossed the mountain of Al
barde. From the summit of this moun
tain was difeovered near Donnaz the
famous rock which Hannibal fplit
ted to open a passage for his army.—
Two thousand years were necessary to
make the passage of Albarde excite the
fame degree of admiration ; and one
day, no doubt, at the fide of the glori
ous infeription which the Carthaginian
hero so well merited, posterity will en
grave these words :—" Here passed the
French artillery and cavalry."

of-50,000 men .was able to match for.
Geneva, where the First Consul review

Gen. Berthier left thtit citythe roth
for Lausanne, and flopped a few hours
at Cophet, where he dined with M.
Neckar, with bis aids-de-camp, his fe
cretrary, and General Dupont.—lt
was curious enough to behold in com
pany together, after ten years of revolu
tion, the warrior who firft combatted
with Washington for liberty, and the
statesman who firft labored to natura
lize it in France. All the time of din
ner, the coriverfation turned upon what
the French had already atchieved, and
were going-to atchieve ; upon the
blindness of a certain Court in persever
ing inn Corfteft against a people who
could oppose to it resources of every
kind, a triple row of fortreffes, 300,000
heroes, & Buonaparte.
, The ex-minister inquired with the
liveliest solicitude into the mod minute
details of our victories. Every trait
of heroism, every ad of devotion seem
ed to excite emotions of pride, and to
recall him to that glorious sera when
he- did justice to the French people in
considering them worthy of liberty.
Looking at General Dupont, his aids
de-Camp, Dutailly, Ariighi, Bruyer
re, Conchi, and Morin, he said, with
an affufion of cordiality," You are ve
ry young with so much glory."
The Army of Reserve advanced with
forced marches towards the Alps. Its
General arrived at the fort of Saint
Bernard, the day when several corps
were to pass it. The troops after five
hours march, arrived, harraffed with
fatigue, on the funimit of the mountain,
at the very place where the virtuous Ce
nobites, renouncing the world for ever,
& isolating themfeives from all nature,
came into the midst of rocks, of snow
and ice, to devote themfeives to the fer
vice of humanity, and the gratuitous
accommodation of all travellers. Here
they afforded a fpedacle, not less affed
ing than pidurefque. On the top of
the mountain which separates Italy
fro.m Switzerland, a table was laid out
in the snow. Each soldier came to it to
receive some wine and refrefhments, of
which he Rood much in need. One of
these amiable fervantsof religion presid
ed at the distribution with admirable
suavity and patience. Sublime religi
on, the practice of which makes heroes,
how culpable are they who deform
your essence!
If the defeent of St. Bernard afford
ed a hope of less fatigue, it presented
much more danger ; a passage of a
league in length is cut out of a steep
mountain, through which the horseman
is obliged to lead or follow Jiis horse.
He cannot walk by his fide without
rifque cf falling into the abyss. On
the right the narrow path is bound by
mountains of snow, which the heat of
the spring &summer often melts down
upon the head of the traveller. The
army.defended in three hours without
any other accident that the loss of four
or five horses, which fell into the pre
cipices. Some of the infantry invented
a curious mode of abridging the road.
They fuffcred themfeives to Aide on a
smooth fleak of snow, along an extreme
ly steep declivity which conduced them
in a few seconds to the point, which
by following the path they could not
reach in some hours.

General,
The fever having premitted me to
rife this morning, I ordered the chief
of brigade Domage, to take the com
mand of my column, leaving only at
head quarters the firft battailions of the
4th and 7th demi-brigades, and to
march with the remainder of the troops
to dislodge the enemy, who were too
near us ; and enjoined him particularly
not to return to me without the two
pieces of cannon, which Rigand's troops
had sworn not to abandon. The com
bat was bloody. The rebels defended
for two entire hours the two pieces of
cannon, but the loth demi-brigade
carried one, & while the enemy was de
fending the other valliantly, the 4th
demi-origade with his accullomed bra
very, carried off the other and put the
whole army to flight. A number of the
rebels fell upon the field ; the rest found
fafety by flight into the neighboring
woods. The two pieces of cannon
have just arrived at head-quarter :
they are in fine order to serve against
Rigaud on some other occasion, who,
with his cavalry, not wiihing to Hand
the shock of our brave troops, took re

We have but few wounded, and those
slightly.
We have made a number of prison

flints, 54 glb. cannon cartridges, meant
without doubt, for the piece we took at
St. Michaels.

Rigaud, who came yesterday to where
his infantry was, and administered. an
oath to every one to die upon their en

of cannon.
The third demi-brigade of the fouth

battalion of our fourth demi brigade
charged them within pillol shot, and
put them to flight. Our cavalry pur
