fobs were lately executed, one of whom, on 1
hearing his sentence pronounced, drew a
Dagger from his bofom,and, crying vengeance,
rushed upon the President of the Tribunal,
whole name is Brutus. As all the judges are
armed with a brace of pistols aria a cutlass,
the President kept him at a distance. He

The Council of the Commons, assembled
on the 4th inst in order to deliberate on the
most efficacious means to frustrate the crim

a deputation from the Sedion of Quintet

count of their killing ewes big with lamb.
The spokesman held in each hand alamb,

an inconceivable fad, fabftantiated by fa

there were <7oewes big with lamb. Th§af

repaired to the Committee of Publick Wet

ADDRESS.
'' Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or, Death ?
•' Head Quarters, at Cambray, Feb. 9.
" Second year of the Republick,
one and indivisible.
" Pichegru, Commander in Chief of the
army of the North, to his brothers in arms of
the said army.
" COMRADES,
"When I accepted the command of the
army, 1 depended lets on my own means,
than on your bravery, and the genius of lib
erty that presides over our arms. Already
hasthe foil of liberty, polluted in different
points by the leagued Banditti, been purged
of them: Our brave Republicans law them
fly before them ; there is now but a single
corner of our territory stained with their
pretence.
^ I come, gallant Comrades, to join my
efforts to your courage, to expel them ; and,
combating for liberty, I dare flatter myfelf,
that we (hall not combat in vain. But, to
secure our successes, it requires a mutual
confidence, an unanimous concurrence of
will and faculty : Each of us ought to double
his efforts, to augment our/ means. You,
brave Warriours, that have , already signaliz
ed yourselves in battle, hlften to give your
young brothers in arms, the necessary degree
of infrudion, to follow youfoon to the field
of glory ; instill into their fouls, by the re
cital of your fine exploits, the most lively
desire of imitating you ; and have no other
pride than that of having already run dan
gers which they will be impatient to bear.
And you,-young Citizens, whom the
country called forth to defend her, strive with
all your zeal to gain inftruaion, that you
may be able to fe!fill your glorious talk :Be
all friends to order and Subordination, with
out which there is nd victory. I will second
your efforts with all my faculties. But lam
a downright plain Republican ; and if you
do not goon well, I'll tell you so. I shall call
you to order. , Should I happen to swerve
from the line, I invite you to do the fame.
Your advice to me flball be proofs of friend
tirip ; and you shall know, by my eagerness
to regain my right polities}, how pure my in
tentions are. Let us all keep one peace—
we lhall do well. Fra la Republique.
(Signed) "PICHEGRU."

administrator of police presented a gold thim

Elizabeth Capet, with the request, that as
this thimble was pierced throi^,^another

refolded, that another of copper or ivory
Ihould be given to the prisoner, and thegold

BRUSSELS, Jan. 24. A deserter from
Paris, confirms the reports, that Gen. Jour
dan, waits only for reinforcements of cavalry
from Vendee arid the Mozelle, to attack all
the posts of the combined powers at once.
He adds that 6000 men, confining of fugi
tives from several places, had joined Jour
dan, and demanded to lead the column that
is tomarch to Brussels. ,

, Brest, Jan. 1. It is proper that the
Republick should know the exa& state of her
naval force. Under the old Government,
the harbour of Brest never contained, so well
equipped a fleet as at present. There is a
proper degree of subordination among the
sailors—and the officers are sublimed by an
enthusiastic attachment to the cause of liberty.
Every one burns with a desire of making *****
decree the Carmagnole, and of revenging the
insult offered to the Republick at Toulon.
Twenty.five fail of the line are 'ready to fail
at an hour's notice.
The navy has been put into this refperta
ble condition by the unwearied labours of
Braird and Jean Bon St. Andre,
Germany.
mentz, feb. 9. The French have left
the entrenchments they had began to estab
lish near Pirmafens, and retreated into their
territory. On the firft instant, a column of
troops of the line, consisting of 10,000 men,
parted through that place, and observed the
greatest order and discipline. Deux Ponts
has been evacuated, and a great number of
fugitives have already, returned thither. The
last 13 hostages have also arrived there, after
having paid a ransom of 20,000 livres. In
the great bailiwick Lightenberg, in the
Duchy of Deux Ponts, the peasants hay§
taken from the French, not only 250 heads
of cattle, but also the horses from the cannon
and ammunition carts. The French troops,
which were encamped near Lautern marched
at the end of last month to Saar Louis, Saar
guemines and Bitfch. The Pru ffians at
tacked their rear, took some prisoners, and
captured federal waggons.
FRANKFORT, WB. 20. The arrival of
the Commit oners from the Convention has
given rife here to various conjedures. The
ostensible obje& of their miffi^n is the ex
change of prisoners, and the ransom of the
hostages they left in Mentz, for the payment
of sums due by their army to the inhabitants
of that place.—Whatwe their secret instruc
tions and views, it is not difficult to divine ;
but I can assure you, that the least propor
tion or overture of peace, on their part,would
cost them their lives.—
FEB. 20. The Head Quarters of the Allft
trians will be this evening at Valenciennes.
M. de Clairfayt will command 20,000 men
at Tourhay ; the Prince de Cobourg 40,000

The Landgrave of Heffe-Caffel is most

Fort of Mortella taken, after a defence of two
