No reliance can be placed. The accounts
from there are as various and contradic
tory as the perform who report them.—We
believe that some ft rce has arrived lately ;
and we conjecture it to be English.
NO PROSPECT OF PEACE
Yet gleams in Europe. The French do
not entertain the idea—and the combined
powers, particularly England, are mak

Heaven keep America out of it.

lately, fell in with 2 British seventy-sours

carried into Brest ; from whence, the news
of her capture and arrival, was received at

is bJily CTupiv&;u to correcting the abu

duced by the amoition, and engendered by
the enthusiasm of their decapitated prede
cessors. Orders have been issued for the
trial of Carrier, by whose arbitrary edids,
so many innocent citizens were Shot and
drowned at Nantz. Lebon the infamous
monk, has also been arrested. In the Pa

these trials,evidences are publilhed,which,
even in hiftory, excruciate the human
heart.
The tempest of mutual jealousy and ter

reign of Robc/fyierre, is now succeeded
by the calm of internal peace, and the sun
shine of brotherly confidence. The de

Bourdeaux, and other commercial and ma
nufaduring cities, are annulled ; and vi
gorous measures are adopted, to revive,
in this now happy republic, the ufeful and
