A very alarming report has prevailed
in the city during the last two days, that
nine fail of French line of battle (hips,
full of troops, failed from Brelt the be
ginning of last month, for Weft-In
diej. That a hostile fleet of that force
was out, has been ascertained by the
testimony of the matters of several neu
tral viefiels; but it was at firft general
ly imagined, that their object was the
intercepting of the homeward bound
India men, which took (helter in Gal
way-lßay.
Tfoefe, however, having so fortu
nately escaped, it is now much feared
that tlie defoliation of this squadron was

and th »t apprised of our weakness in the

It is curious to remark exactly the
fame reproaches thrown out against Ro
btfpierre and his party, with which
they themselves had loaded the Briflfo
tines : we find the fame determination
avowed by their fuecefTors, of chang
ing the fyltem of despotism for that of
Liberty ; of cruelty and injullice, for
that of mild and equitable law. But
in the midst of this succession of parties,
and of the attendant cruelties and hor
rors, with what pity and contempt mull
we behold the deluded wretches of
France, who can have been taught that
ihere has ever existed any thing like the
shadow j>f Liberty in the sanguinary
tyranny of Robespierre: or that,
while they have been robbed of theii
property, and forced for bread to the
army, they were living under a Repub
lic, which distributed to each individual
the rights which really belouged to
him.
Robespierre is now admitted by the
party prints to have been a very gujeat
rascal, though, for Come reason or otner,
he was a great man and a great patriot
while he lived. There is an old proverb
which may perhaps be applicable upon
this occasion, "No longer pipe, no
longer dance."
The disturbances at Copenhagen a

of the letters received yesterday, tran
