BRUSSELS, March 16.
FThe French, it is positively asserted

purfaed it id all its ptogrefs, and now
when it makes its appearance we are
prepared to resist it, and to leave the
vengeance of the people, armed by the
power of truth; to tire eternal destruc
tion of its foes. The Englilh govern,
meat was the principal author and ac
tor in the conspiracy ; and the follow,
ing expressions were used in the En
gli(h Cabinet, two days before the
meeting of Parliament.
" If we make war, the convulsed go
vernment of France will procure new
means of refinance. If we make peace
she will be involved in a civil war. —
Let us then have recourse to corrup
tion." Ft, was added too, "Let Ml
our deliberations cpmm,n£.e.wtfh these
words t let us corrupt the Republic."
It was said that it was necefTay to
carry on the war, but to delay the
campaign. Hence would result the
double advantage of ' repressing the
Englilh, and of rilk ; ng nothing.

The News from London,
By the Galen, are favourable to
the continuation of peace with Eng
land.— With the people there no idea
of a rupture with the United States
was entertained ; and the fpcliations
on cur commerce, in the Weft Indies
were much deprecated. The rumours
of a general peace, in Europe, were
frequent: Baton the 26h of March,
the two Houses of Parliament, nem.
con. voted addresses to the King, ex
preffiog, " that they would matt
heartily support his majesty in the
measures proposed for prosecuting the
prefeotjuft and necefory war."—
The secession of Fruffia, was a fubfra

Cabinet admit the fad to be alarming

Have been received at Portland
by an arrival there, in „ days from

they contained no material informa

captured many Sweedifh and Danish
vcffels, laden with provificns, and
bound to France.— They muff, we
think give some accounts, however
final! of the effects produced in Eng

and muff either confirm or contradict
the account of the Spanish acknow
