Amidst the fetnes ot outrage and ty
ranny exhibited.snd exhibiting in France,
we find fame linking traits of national
-policy. One of these, the institution of
public schools, was mentioned in this
paper a few days ago ; thbmeafure, wil'»
fa the course of t few years, produce in
cohctiyable effects, if folly carried into
effe&, and will lay a firm foundation for
a fttper-firiidure ot pure republican
government. . J
Another meafar.e of policy equally re
markable, is, the 'navigatiofi ad propof
pd iqA/te report of a committee to the.
National Convention. This.afl is form
ed on the plan of the EngHfli navigation
ailj and is calculated ro exclude foreign
♦rs, particularly the English and Dutch
from the carrying trade of France. This
aft if carried fato ..efleft will advance
the marine of France to a prodigious

FRENCH VICFORTr
By this Ddty'sMailo
BOSTON, Feb. 15.
Capt, Freeman, arrived here, from
S^afion, hi Spain, which he left the
,firft of Per. informs, that Toulon was
still in the hands of the Fnglifbv but
tMt it was invaded,, on the land fide
by a very large army of the French ; and
that the Spaniards themselves, had very
little hopes of the combined powers be
ing able to-hold pofleffio'n of it.
c A&er the repulse of the Proffians at
Bicche in which according to their own
aQGOUnt thrir lois has been very consider
able, the current has appeared to turn in
favour of the French. Jn that assault,
Prince Frederick, of Prussia, received
a save re wcuhd in the (holder. Os the
Pruflian army it is said thatthe at empt
coll them no less than Bco killed and
1300 wounded. The battalion of the
grenadiers of Ruoifky who wiflied fhft
to scale the walls, was almost entirely
destroyed.
This sffair took place on the evening
of the 16th, and on the morning of the
i7 s h the French made an attack on
Bliefcaftc), but' the Duke cf Bruns
wick having fa receded in turning their
right wing, they were repulsed, but with
what loss has not yet been after tained.
On the i-Bth, another dreadful ehgage
ment took" place between the Austrians
under Gen. Wurmser, and the troops
of the enemy in the vicinity of Straf
bofergi aided by a Part of the garrison
cf that /ortrefs. The accounts here fay
that the loss was extremely severe on
both sides, but the fileitce observed ref
pc&ing the particulars, fumilhef no fa.
vorable augury.
This was followed by a third engage
ment en the 2tft, when Gen- Wus ms.
re was attacked in all his positions. The
daughter was prodigious.
The loss of the Austrians is calculated
ar 6000 killed and wounded, end yet
their rerfevering bravery compelled the
French to retire to the heights of Sa
verne, whert they have an entrenched
camp. The Austrians resumed, for a
time, their former pofidon; but by later
accounts,we learp,that Gen. Wur Mser,
with the greater, part of his army, has
retired to Hegenu.
The Flench have taken poffeflion of
Bliefcafle\ have entered Deux-Ponts,
and as it is here believed, are in poffef
fioh-of »he capital of that Dutchy.
They have also entered into the Lux
embourg, which was left nearly without
defence, and carried off large quantities
of provisions .and flares. They have

hare been a great aeqeifition, as it com
minds the defiles, was attempted in the
night of the i6rh, and mifearritd. The
.town was esfdy taken,, and the P-ruflians
even penetrated in the zig-zag to the laC
gate towards the citadel, where the
French, with balls, timber, (tones, and
boiling venter, farced the affailabts to re
treat, wuh the lots of several hundred
men. 1 '
The French have since that invaded
Germany and taken pefieflion of Blief
caflel, Hambourg, and Deux Ponts, and
penetrated as far as Lsricflhol^at thedif.
tanor of four leagues from Lautem.
It is pcffible that the Duke of Bruns

By the Br»tifh December Packet,which
arrived here the 14th inst. we are enabled
to lay before our readers the lar ft Eu
ropean Ln elligence ; a perusal of wlrch
will Ihew^that the late fncceffes of the
French had not ceased ; but that in ev
ery instance they have been the aflailanu,
and in almost every instance have been
fuccefsful. The praiies bellowed upon
them by the allied Veteran*, appear to
have been well deserved j and the spirit
which animates every part of the Re
public, inspires them with an entbufiafm
and valour, which proves an overmatch
for the discipline and experience of their
enemies. Great part of t»<e allied army
have gone into Winter Quarters—The
Duke of York at Valenciennes,Quefnoy,
&c.—The Prince of Cobourg, at Con
de &c. Gen. Jourdan’s army were'

would go to Lisle. The French have
entered Deux-Ponte and Spain. Toulon
was not retaken ; Lord Howe’s fleet war
