departure from Nantz, has gone on from one
success to another. The country from Ncntz
to Rochelle is entirely cleared of the rebels.
Legre was attacked and taken on Saturday ;
this was one of the principal polls of the re

They only fired three rounds cf artillery ;
this we did not think worthy of a reply, as all
Our charges are made with the fixed bdyonet.
The right column of the army was obliged to
defile before Pallan, another poll in pofleflion
'cf the rebels. It wks also abandoned, after
the loss of 150 men bn their part. Our vic

Roux Fazillac —“ Neither annapaptifts nor
quakers take oaths or carry arms; hue if you
a& them whether they like the conflitution,
they will answer, yes ; and that with them
is equal to oaths. They do 1 not carry arms,
but they pay for fubflitates, and the law per
mits them to do so. Let their petition be
referred to the committee cf legislation.”
Montemoyan —“ If we can make any ex
ception, I a& it for ths Anabapiifi&l who are
virtuous.men : But the conHitution orders
that every Frenchman shall be a soldier.——
We cannot Jaffer among us men who are uet
obedient to that law. I demand the order of
the day.”
Lacroix—>“ I flippart its being referred to

wishing to spare this delightful and
opulent city. An immense number of

he immediately thre w himfelf at the head
of his troops, and formed the line of

determination to give them battle. Af
ter a severe c erf aft of two hours, the
enemy was complt tely routed, and fled
Ulth prec pi tat ion ; leaving behind a
vast quantity of military Fores, and
300 pr if oners, 30 officers, 3 colonels,
and the commandant of artillery. We
hod but 8 men killed.
From a lengthy convedaiion with
two gentlemen who arrived here in
the Sally, from France, the Editor
is enabled to add co the Foreign In
telligence already detailed, the follow
ing particulars :
That the whole Republic was in a
date of the mo ft adive warlike
movements and'preparations—-all the
male citizens, from 16 to 4$ years
of age, being required to bear arms,
and to hold themselves in continual
readiness to march. Ail stores, pro
vihons, &c. were held to be at the
service of the public, ^he owners to
receive such compensation therefor as
may be awarded by referrers, That
all the artizans in metals and wood,
were employed ia the manufacture of
cannon, and warlike implements. In
the manufadury ac Paris, 25,000
mufquets, and 30 pieces of cannon
were manufadtoied every month ;
and the useless bells in the churches
, melted down to lupp’y the forges:
That 1 he. Convention pursued their
dtps with nrmnei's ; and that nor
withftandiqg the Constitution was a*
dopted by a majority of the primary
afiemblies, they were required by
their conftkuents to keep at the helm
as long as the storm continued :
That th^.Royalifts inLa Vendee had
fuftered great loss in fix fucceffivc en
gagements, and that the rebellion was
nearly fuppre&d :
That the number of Republicans
in arms, in France, was 1,450,000:
x That on the arrival of the intelli
gence of the surrender of Toblon,
the Convention decreed. That all the
former Nobles who were in ’the ser
vice of the Republic, (hould instant
ly be displaced, and their vacancies
filled up.
They contradict the flory cf the
Dauphin’s being bound to a cobler—
He is under the Preceptorfhip of a
man of learning and abilities; and
hjs education attended to.
They mention,' that of the rebels
fobdued, all the Priests, nobles, gen
tlemen, servants, and foreigners were
put to death ; the peasants disarmed,
and sent home : and that the ad
judged victims to the guillotine at
Pans, avaraged about 40 a month.

of information, and impartiality: And
observe, that implicit reliance cannot
be had on ail the accounts pubfifhed,
as in the commotions of the rmes,
every day gave birth to various and
contradictory rumours.

ceived, snd published at Lifon, that the army of the
Republic of Fraxce, had recaptured the impor
tant city of toulon : That the army confuted
of 25j0C0 men ; that the£oglifh who had poiTeftioa
of the forts were obliged to abandon them, and that
those of the counter-revoluticnifts who could not
make their efcapc, were put to the sword. Capt,
Parsons did not underhand what become of the
Englijh or French fleets.
The recapture of Toulon is confirmed, via Port
‘ land where Mr. Landa Smith has arrived from
Spain, after a palfage of thirty days. Mr. Smith
adds, that it was generally believed in Spain, that
America had declared war against Great-Britain, in
confequencc of which belief the vcflel he came in
loft a valuable freight.
From another source we Jeara, that the royalists in
Toulon, were not so numerous, as had been fufpeft
ed ; and that on thp arrival of Gen. Corteaux,
with the army from Mtrfaillis, the principal fort,
which commands the city, was given up to him
without firing a gun.
Capt. Parsons informs that a subsidy of 6000
troops had been granted by Portugal, to the Span
iards, who had failed under the convoy of 6 men o£
war.
THE WESTERN ARMY,
Under the gallant and experienced Wayne,- were
in full march against the faithlels Indians, at the date
of our lalt accounts : He had called on the volun

make luccels aimoft certain.

A very daring burglary was committed in the
house of the Hon. William Phillips, Esq. ia
the night of the 12th. inst. The burglars must have
been old effendets, as in enti ring the house by a
windowj alter taking out a square of glass, they
made use of a machine of so much force, as to dravz
the iron which fecuies the shutter, w ithout leaving
any marks of violence. After they entered, the/
searched every part of the house below, opened the
doors, and regaled tlieinfelves with provifiens and

our police, to detest such daring pests to society.
