& The French Republics
Our last accounts from ,hi, great ccn-„
B "' °fexpedition, through the. medium*
' of its own papers, are no later than the
beginning of May. At that fine, the
animating principles of the republic (the
Convention) were purfuingthe most vi
' £' jr °" 3 n:eafares to oppose the myriads
who were meditating the overthrow of
thJr order of things. The army eftab
, ti/hment of 600,000 men, was then pom
% p!et d; and the minifer at war had ap
propriated to him, an jmnienfe sum of
g^QE^ya. defray Jie exig^wi^of the
/ war. The Convention, it g true, were
' much divided in' their subordinate mea
: ,fures ; but in the main point there was
4rnuch unanimity. Denunciations, cve
;r,momenr —and the violence of party"
zeal frequently occafipned conferences
of the most serious import ; nor was the
entire dtfTewion of the Convention, with
an appeal to tile Nation; an event, deem
, ed improbable soon to take place. The
^ignats had npt depreciated more than
th^ee for one. Os the late tumults
1, which are said to exist in the depart
ments, it is difficult to give precise in
formation. In Britanrfy, the insurgents
, are formidable in numbers, andtheir op
pofers are also numerous. But in all
parts of France, the lands, from the na
ture of the tenures by which they are
now held, are in general highly culti-.
vated : And a gentleman who lately tra
velled through the Republic, fays, its
resources are inexhaustible and that the
/ republic cannot fall, except it is through
. the inteftiae corn motions which appear to
agitate her.—These commotions,he fays,
1 'are numerous-—and time alone can reveal
I their consequences. To their frontier
Iwe1 we will now carry our readers. Thear-'
£ my ofthe North, commanded by general
¥ Dampierre, is greatly recruited—And, (
& partly ported in the frontier cities, and *
, partly in the field, opposes to the Prince
I de Cobonrg,a formidable head. Cuftine
is on the Rhine, with 40,000 men, ad
vantageously pofcd; and that on the
Mofclie has lately entere#Beux Points.
The combined armies carrying on the
} invasion by regular approaches, the
french are necessitated to make frequent
attacks on the various ports of their enc
^ic ;^nd, therefore, without any thing
decifivg taking place,much blood is died.
"hether the combined armies mean to
enter France—or only to attract the at
tention of the French armies to the fron
tiers, in order the better to give the infur
geqts opportunities to effect their plan of
counter-revolution ih the bosom of .
France, is only within the sphere of con
jeaerfc: But of this we believe we may
be certain, that as Falftaff fays in the
Plav, should thefefovade France, they

Last Saturday afternoon, such a tem

Some of them measured from their ex
treme fagged parts, seven inches in cir
cumference. They cut down the fields of
grain, flax, &c. flript the frun trees bare,
and broke several thousand panes of
glass; so that the fields houses, and or
