Foreign Intelligence.
Paris, may 16. The army of
the Esftern Pyrenes, have fufprized a
small encampment of Spanish troops
polled on the summit of a mountain.
The loss on our part is only 5 wound
ed ; that of the Spaniards amounts
to 40 killed and wounded, and sixty
, prisoners.
Vernier, as reporter from the com
mittees, (aid that the sum due on the
INational property fold, amounted to

millions. The committee proposed
to force the buyers to pay that sum
within two months.
German account of an aHion near
Mentz.
Frankfort, May 3. General Clairfayt
Adeeming it necessary for the fafety of
Mentz, that a camp should be eftab
lifhed on the Hardenberg, issued or
ders to attack the French. As soon
as the French had been driven from
^ the ground which they had occupied,
the Impetialifts began to throw up
an entrenchment on the heights,
which they effected, notwithftandiog
the incessant fire of all the French
batteries and cannon placed in the
wood of Mombach. The attack of
the French, in the afternoon, was di
refted against the centre of rhe posi
tion $ it was made in two strong col
umns, well provided with artillery.
A battalion of the archduke waited
to receive their fire, and then rushed
in upon them with the bayonets,
while the artillery, from the redoubts
recently conftro&ed, fired case-shot
upon the French column, and made
a dreadful (laughter. In their retreat
the buffari of Wurmfer, took them
in the rear, and did considerable ex
ecution. It is supposed that in this
attack the French loft 300 men.—
The total loss on the fide of the Im,
perialifts, is 850 men killed & wound
> ed. The regiment of Klebeek alone
)had 180 men killed and wounded, 10
; of whom are officers. Our fall^
,rine did some fertice, and proceeded
two leagues below Meniz, in order to
alarm the French. This movement
made them suppose that the passage
of the Rhine was to be attempted ;
they accordingly brought a great
quantity of artillery and a powerful
force to this point. )*
INSURRECTION at TOULON.
CONVENTION, MAY 2^.
The Committee of Public Safety
informed the Convention of a Revolt
that had broken out at Toulon ; that
the Jacobins had taken possession of
the Arsenal ; that the Deputies Bru
nei and Meoux had made incredible
efforts to oppose the Jacobins, but
without fucceh ; and that they had
been obliged to release the Terrorists
confined at Fort Lamalgui, In con
sequence of the vidory of the Jaco
bins, Brunei biowed his brains out ;
Meoux went co the sea fide to save
the fleet, but on his arrival there, he
learnt that the Jacobins, had gained
over the fleet, and that a Jacobin of
the name of Portal had assumed the
command of it.—The intention of the
insurgents at Toulon was to march to
Paris with 30,000 men, in order to
dissolve the Convention.
Chambon informed the Convention
of the measures that he had taken to
repress the infurreaion. A letter was
read from Marseilles, stating that the
insurgents of Toulon were about 8000,
that the squadron remained in the har
bour, and that the brave sailors from
Brest, who were on board the fleet,
had resolved not to participate in the
revolt. The Committee of Public
Safety were ordered to take the neces
sary ftps to restore peace to Toulon,
The Deputies, Therion, Panis, Ef
cudier, Laighelot, and Record, were
ordered co be arrested ; and Prieur of
la Marne, Bourbotte, and Peyffard, to
be tried immediately, by the Military
Commiflions.
LONDON, JUNE 3.
We yesterday received a complete
series of intelligence from Paris, down
to rhe 30th May, which puts us in
possession of every material fa& that
has occurred, since the infurrtffion of
the 20th of that month. We have
neither leisure nor space at present to
enter into any long observations on
the general result of this ; but it ap
pears, that the infurreaion was more
general, and better concerted than any
that has yet taken place. All the
Partizans of Barrere, and banished
Deputies ; all the arrested Deputies,
and the remnants of the Jacobin fac
tion holding feats in the Convention,
as well as public employments io the
feaioni; the cannoneers, gens d'armes,
who have always been a very formida
ble body, the inhabitants of the Faux
bourgs, so well pradifed in the art of
infurredion ; all these parties had u
nited to overthrow the Convention.
But they appear to have completely
failed in their projeas; the iofurrec.
tion at Paris is wholly quelled ; and
the leaders, both in the Convention,
and without doors, have been either
arrested or sent to the fcaffo!d.
The late commotions appear- to
have been linked together, and to
have branched out into different di
rections. The infurreaion at Tou
lon, according to the latest advices,
was in small vigour ; the infurgeots
had poffeflion of the port and arsenal,
but not of all the ships. We have
no rofon to believe that any (hips
from Toulon h:d left that port to join
Admiral Hotham, as was reported,
nor do we think that such an event is
likely.
JUNE 4. According to accounts
froth Lifbon r by the Porcupine, of ty
guns, Capt. Dixon, dllhlte Fortuguefe
men of war, that were here last fum
men are paid off and laid up ; anoth
er proof of what we formerly stated,
that the Por;uguefe deny having ever
taken part in the war against France
as principals.
Norton, }gl, 15. We have receiv
ed by the arrival at Marblehead from
London, a series of English papers to
the ift June. We abttraftly relate,
That the Dutch Republic has declar
ed war against Greatbritain —and has
entered into an alliance with France,
offenfive and defective : That the
Emperor of Germany has accepted
the iban of 4,500.600'. sterling from
England, and, with 20,000 men, is
to continue the war against France :
That the French were pursuing their
mifKary operations in Spain ; and, of
course, that the rumors of a peace
concluded between France and her,
are improbable. [We must however
objerve on this bead, that important
negotiations of peace were aftuall, on
the tapis at Paris, at our last dates ;
which prolific rumor has averred to be
with Spain, and some of the /malt pow
ers of German, ] That there was a
profpett ot the active interference of
the Empress of Russia in the war, if
not checked by the Ottoman Porte,
which had for a long time been mak
ing powerful preparations for w^r, &
was decidedly partial to the French,
In fhortjhat the war in Europe would
be continued at least one campaign I
longer.
THE ALGERINES.
We are happy 10 have it in our pow
er to contradift a large part of those
reports, which have stated that the
Algerine cruizers had fated into the
Atlantic. The letter of Mr. Skip
with, the Consul General of the U
nited States in France, which men
tions the peace between Portugal and
Algiers, is dated 9 h Fioreal. (April
28th)—whereas by the brig Neptune
arrived here from Gibraltar, which
she ,est the 9th May, we are assured,
the Portuguese fquadroo was then at
Gibraltar, coofifting of seven fail, 3
or 4 of whioh were continually on the
crude to prevent those tree-hooters
failing into the Atlantic :—And fur
ther, that there did not exitt at Gib
raltar a suspicion of such an event.
Cape. Fremau from Fayal [one of
the VVeftern i(ltnd]in 28 days, heard
nothing of the Algerines being our.
About the beginning of June, off
St. Thomas's, an adion took place
between the Alarm, British frigate of
32 guns, and La Liberte, French cor
vette of 20 guns— It was qbftin,te &
bloody—it lofted through three glafl
et—and soon after the Frenchman
struck, she funk—chief of the people
however were saved.
It is also reported, that a battle
took place, about the fame time, be
tween the Thorn, British Hoop of war
of 16 guns, and an armed 20 gun
ship, going from America for Sc. Do
mingo for a commiftion= the adion
was lengthy; but ended in favor of
the Thorn. The prisoners, said to
be mostly American! were sent up to
St. Kitts.
DEMARARA.
The Briufa General Meyer, with
1200 men; has taken poffeflion of
Demarara. ¥
From MARTINIQUE.
Capt. Pillsbury, arrived here frum
Martinique in 24 days, informs, that
the French had poffeflion of all the
island of Dominica, except Roseau:
That the Englilh Admiral Lafcrey,
had arrived jri;the Weftindies ia^
frigate ; and that she narrowly efcap-L
ed being captured by three FrtyhE
frigates.'
We may judge of the profpa
rity of the commerce of ,the U
nned States, by its trade with the
single city of Hamburgh. A
German paper fays, that in the
year 1794, there entered at the
port of that city 200 fail of A
mericari vessels, of which 88 on
ly have imported about 12 mil
lion pounds ofcoffee, 4525 hogf
herds, 4020 boxes, and 380 bar
rels of sugar; &c.
About tI^TREATY.
On Friday lag, agreeable to notifies
tion, the citizens of this town assembled
at Faneuil Hall, for the purpose of tak^
ing into serious consideration fueb mea~
fures as the pending treaty with Great
britain made necefor,. The Hall was
ver, full — the Treat, was condemned in
toto, and a committee of 15 was chosen
to draft an instrument expreffite of the
sentiments of the citizens on ibe fubieft.;
Newyork, %l, 4. It was currently report
ed on Wednesday, that a petition, Which had
several thousand names upon it, is banded
round at Philadelphia, praying the President
of the United States to withhold his signa
ture from the Treaty. It is also said, that
the French minister plenipotentiary has al
ready sent off dispatches, to France on the
fubjea of the Treaty.
A Philadelphia taaft, on the 4'h of July.
A perpetual barueft to America : but dipt uitgs,
lame legs, the frip, and an empty crop to all %„.
We have seen tftree different accounts of a
tumult in Philadelphia co the 4th July
They are so con^adidory, that we cannot
tell which, or whether to believe either—the
'Treaty was the Bone of the fray—they han
dled roughly the character of Jay.
