FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mr. MELCHER.
Please to give the following a place in your next paper, and you will oblige a number of your Customers.
A REPORT is propagated through the country, that if an execution issues upon a judgment of the District Circuit or Supreme Federal Courts of the United States, and the debtor is thereupon taken into custody by the Marshal, he must be committed to close confinement, without the privilege of the Prison limits, even though bonds to any amount should be offered for his remaining a prisoner.—It is said that this was the case with one Mr. WARREN; at Boston, who would have died in Prison, if a composition had not have taken place. Some have said that Congress has regulated this matter, and that prisoners on execution from Federal Courts, are indulged with the same mode of process, as is practised in the State wherein the debtor is committed to gaol, but others say that it is not so, or at least that the Marshal knows of no such regulation.—Oh, my country! is this the Aylum to which foreigners are so strongly invited to shelter themselves from oppression? Can the citizens of the United States remain unconcerned spectators of such institutions as carry into effect decrees which are charged with the total deprivation of personal liberty, contrary to humanity, and the known laws of all the Northern States?—If there is such an abomination in the land, cry aloud, and spare not? Let every town thro' the United States instruct their Representatives at the several Legislatures, that those Legislatures take the earliest opportunity to request their Members of Congress to regulate and amend the laws for the Judiciary System of the Union. It is idle to cast an odium, or stigmatize the Judges of these Courts, they are as much bound by the Federal laws and subject to these regulations, as the debtors themselves, and no doubt would be as ready to get them repealed or amended so as to relieve their fellow-citizens, as any persons in the States. It is astonishing that this evil has never been pointed out to the public before; and that freemen could set down easy until every rational and constitutional mode of application had been made to Congress to recommend to the States an amendment of the Constitution, so far as regarded the Judiciary System, especially in this matter. Some say we have Courts of Law enough without them, and that they are only sinecures, and their power is enormous, and too extensive for any mortal to enjoy—especially as it is well known that men in power are grasping at more than is given them, and are never known to relax—because they say it is dangerous to relax the reins of Government: If any people are so lost to their own rights and privileges, as to delegate a power to any order of men, by which they themselves eventually become bond slaves: That people must remain in their state of abjection, until the Vital spark of Liberty, Phenix like, kindles anew in the very act of extinction. That the voice of the people is the voice of GOD is proverbial, and when a people feel oppression, a kind providence will forever warn them of their danger, to rouse as one man to remove the evil far away, from this great source arose the independence of this country, and nothing but supine negligence in us will ever endanger the loss of our natural and acquired rights.
MENTOR.

Portsmouth, April 26, 1795.
GEORGE WENTWORTH, Town Clerk.

The Committee appointed by the town to carry the aforesaid Laws into execution, having accepted their trust, have voted to carry the same into effect.
Late from Europe.
NEW-YORK, May 29.
By the Severn arrived yesterday from Bristol, we have received London papers to April 10, from which we give the following—
Fresh Foreign Advices.
LONDON, April 4.
Government has at length come to a resolution of making the most strenuous exertions to reduce the banditti at St. Domingo. In this view, an advice boat has been despatched to Barbadoes, with orders to send thither, without delay, the 2,800 men, who were on board the last convoy which failed from Portsmouth. Another convoy, expected to sail in the course of next week, is to carry thither 3000 men more.
The following letter was yesterday posted up at Lloyd's coffee-house, as having been received from Yarmouth:
Yarmouth, April 1.
"By a letter from a cutter, arrived in the Ems, dated March 26, we are informed, that the French have 50,000 men, and 200 pieces of cannon, within four miles of Embden. The allied army is about 20,000, but the Prussians and Austrians are reported to be coming thither, in great force. The French have drawn all their army from Amsterdam to Embden."
The Dutch government have sent a deputy of the name of Starckenburgh to Paris, to claim the protection of the National Convention, for the Dutch possessions in the West-Indies.
Several letters from Hamburgh, by the last mail, state, that Admiral Kingsbergen, and some other friends of the Orange party, in Holland, have been guillotined.
The Dutch Commissioners may be compared to a former king of the sans culottes, who,
"With forty thousand men,
Went up a hill, and then came down again."
It appears, to us, after a perusal of several German papers and letters, that the French are unwilling to contend with the Prussians for the barren district of Westphalia, and are withdrawing to the rivers and fortresses of Holland, the defence of which country is too important to them to be undertaken otherwise than in the most advantageous positions.
The return of the Dutch commissioners from England, with an acknowledgment of their powers, is mentioned with much resentment, in the Amsterdam prints.
Another conspiracy is said to have been discovered at Naples, in which the duke De Me-
dici, a person of the first consequence, and governor of the city, is said to be involved. Whether this is any thing more than the trick of some prevailing party, endeavouring to suppress their opponents, is to be learned from future communications.
APRIL 6.
We stopped the press on Saturday last, to state the arrival at noon of Messrs. East and Major, two of his Majesty's messengers, arrived in town with dispatches from the continent. The first came from Vienna—the latter from Hanover and Bremen; at the latter of which places the British head-quarters were. The Prussian head-quarters were at Osnaburgh, into which 4000 troops of that nation marched on the 28th ult. the advanced guard consisted of an army of 70,000. The British infantry were to embark at Bremen on the 29th and 30th ult.
Some letters from Dublin give an account of a very serious riot in that city—The mob attacked the carriage of lord Fitzgibbon, and threw a stone into it of seven pounds weight, which struck his lordship on the head—they likewise attacked the house of Young Beresford, into which, it is said, they broke, and in a few minutes demolished the furniture. Here one person was shot and two wounded. The mob was dispersed by the military.
BARRERE and CO.
We give in our paper this day an extract of the proceedings of the National Convention from the 24th of last month to the 28th inclusive. They are chiefly taken from the Republican Francois, a paper in higher estimation at Paris than the Moniteur . It will be seen from the sittings of the Convention, that on the 29th, Collot, Barrere, and Billaud Varennes, so far from being adjudged, were on the contrary to undergo a long trial. The charges against them being to be discussed according to the division made by the commission of twenty-one, which had arranged them under many heads. They defended themselves with as much address as energy, as will be seen by Barrere's speech, in which he sometimes reflected on the National Convention, and even on the sections of Paris.
The issue of that trial is likely to cause a movement in Paris, as appears from a state of that city given in the last but one of our French journals. Some sections have declared themselves to be in a state of insurrection;—the 28th of March, a great number of women had joined some seditious persons in the Fauxbourgs, and threatened the Convention with dissolution. In some places they had torn out the tri-colored cockade and exclaimed, Down with the Convention . It was with difficulty the armed force could keep them within bounds; and martial law was to be proclaimed in Paris. The arrival of subsistences had failed, and the distribution of bread, fixed at one pound per day had been reduced to half a pound; in short things wore a very melancholy aspect on the 29th.
In admitting that order may have been restored in Paris by the present government, it seems doubtful whether the four accused deputies will be condemned or acquitted. Their supporters are numerous and zealous; and Lecointre, their principal accuser, having in a cross discussion attacked Louvet and Girondists, both parties of the Convention treated him as a fool, a hypocrite, a hypocrite, and a scoundrel, and a member moved that the seal be put on his papers as a forger of false deeds.
We understand by some private reports that Barrere had got rid of his accusation, by abandoning his two companions, avowing many of their private enormities, and declaring to the Convention, that on the days of the 31st of May and the 1st and 2d of June, there had been a project to murder 300 members of the Convention, a project of which he had prevented the execution, in sacrificing only twenty-two members who had been guillotined with Brissot; and that Inard, summoned by him to confess what he knew about that purpose, was obliged to speak in favor of Barrere on that head, so that it was thought Barrere might escape, whilst the others would suffer.
The churches have been opened in Paris, and in great number of the departments, for the exercise of public worship. The anticonstitutional priests were contemned as much as they deserved, and the masses celebrated by the infermented priests, i. e. those who had not taken the oaths to the constitution of 1791, were attended by crowds of people of every description.
By letters from Leghorn of the 8th of March we learn, that on the 6th an English sloop of war arrived there with an account of the French fleet being at sea. Admiral Hotham instantly made the signal for sailing, on the 7th went in quest of the enemy. The issue is anxiously expected.
APRIL 7.
The French papers lately received, have proved beyond a dispute the submission of the royalists, in La Vendee to the laws of the Republic, without any stipulation in favor of royalty.

Very late from France.
By the Neptune Capt. Crocker, which arrived yesterday from Nantes, in 49 days, Paris Papers were received to the 13th April with which we were obligingly favoured. The following
Interesting Articles,
ARE TRANSLATED FROM THEM.
CONVENTION, SESSIONS OF 31ST MARCH,
Commotions in HOLLAND.
We are assured, that there is at present in Holland, eighty thousand French troops, and that fifty thousand more are expected from Belgium. The GAZETTE of Berlin, states these two facts as incontrovertible.
Holland also has become the theatre of civil discord.
The city of Amsterdam is opposed to the States General; the municipality of this city have refused to take the oath prescribed to the public functionaries; and have written a very severe and vehement letter to the States General; of which the States have demanded a retraction.
The Municipality remained unshaken: it was necessary to employ force to reduce them; the Hotel de Ville was surrounded by a regular force; six of the refractory Municipal officers were arrested, and replaced by other citizens.
The resistance of the Municipality, and the violence of the States to subdue them, maintain the greatest fermentation in the minds of the Batavians.
Extract of a Letter from the Hague, dated April 8, 1795.
The first of this month seditious movements of a very serious nature, took place in several cities of our province, above all here, at Amsterdam at Delft and in several villages. The Orange cockade was mounted by the revolutionists, and excesses committed against the best patriots. At the village of Lisse, on the road to Amsterdam, General DAENDELS, who happened to be passing through the place, was assailed and dragged about by the hair of his head; he escaped from these hired wretches with difficulty. In this city a boatman appeared in the morning with a large Orange cockade in his hat, and excited the people to revolt. Crowds began to gather; but the firmness of our brethren the French and of the National Guard, who were quickly under arms, put a stop to further disorder. The principal chiefs of this revolt are arrested; We expect to see them severely punished. A Gallows is already raised. We hear from Amsterdam, that fifty of the mutineers have been arrested there who will also receive the reward of their villainy.
SESSIONS OF 11TH APRIL.
TREATY between PRUSSIA and the FRENCH REPUBLIC, presented by Rewbel in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, April 11.
Rewbel attended the Tribune, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety. Your Committee says he, has followed your intention, respecting a partial peace, they present for your ratification, the Treaty Concluded with the King of Prussia, we have not an instant forgotten that if the wishes of the French people were favourable to a peace, it could be for such a peace, as was glorious to them, and which could not injure the interests of the Republic. You will judge by perusing the articles submitted to you, how far they have obtained these objects.
Rewbel then read the Treaty, the principal articles of which follow.
I. There shall be peace, friendship and good understanding between Prussia or the French Republic.
II. In consequence, all hostilities shall cease between the two powers, from the ratification of the present Treaty, and neither of them shall furnish against the other any succours, in men, horses, money, contingent and warlike stores.
III. Neither of the two powers, shall grant a passage over its territories, to the enemies of the other.
IV. The Republican troops shall evacuate, within 15 days, that part of the Prussian dominions which they occupy on the right Bank of the Rhine.
V. The Republican troops shall continue to occupy that part of the dominions of the King of Prussia, situated on the left Bank of the Rhine.
VI. Till a Treaty of Commerce shall be established between the two powers, all commercial relations shall be re-established upon the same footing as before the war.
VII. All prisoners respectively made during the war, shall be restored to their country, in two months after the ratification of this Treaty.
Done at Basle, March 27, between the Ministers Plenipotentiary of the French Republic and the King of Prussia.
This Treaty was received with the most lively applause.
Commotions in FRANCE.
From a very hasty perusal of the Paris papers, to the 13th April, it appears, that provisions, bread especially, is extremely scarce throughout the nation. Riots have taken place in consequence, in several places. At Rouen, the people rose, seized the cannon at the Town-House, cried out "Long live Louis XVII, he alone can procure us bread," overawed the National guard, and appeared bent on something desperate; and were not persuaded to disperse without great difficulty. It also appears, that something very serious took place at Paris about
Some of the Chouans have already submitted; and there can be little doubt but that the meeting of the 30th of March, which their leaders had agreed to attend, will reunite them to the republic also. It is a curious fact, however, that since the royalists made their peace, money has been actually paid by our ministers for the purpose of supporting them. Nay about 100,000 stand of arms are said to have been lately landed from some of our frigates, which of course have been given up to the republicans.
It is well worthy of remark, that for a considerable time past, the debates in the Convention and the reports of the committees, have manifested an earnest desire of peace, and frankly confessed peace to be the will of the people.
The Empress it is said has condescended to accept from this country a subsidy of two millions for the force which she has stipulated to bring against France. We have not heard whether the men or the guineas are to be the first forthcoming! The King of Prussia seems very much to regret that any of our spare cash should go pass himself: he now offers, if this country will pay him a subsidy, to undertake to drive the French out of Holland!!
APRIL 8.
Last night Mr. Ailsworth, the Messenger arrived from Berlin with dispatches for Government: he came through the British Headquarters, and brought some letters from
THE ARMY.
Klien-Borsen, March 25.
"We are here in a state of great suspense, not knowing whether we are destined for England, or to remain on the Continent for another Campaign. Our situation is horrid to the last degree. A field-officer and pigs are frequently lodged in the same apartment. Nothing can exceed the wretchedness we experience. Port wine is the only thing that can keep us alive, and it is with great difficulty we can procure it. Our men die very fast, and the forage is so scarce that our horses are wretched objects."
BREMEN, April 1.
Almost all our Infantry Regiments have already marched through this place, in their way to the cantonments by the Wesers side, from whence they are to be conveyed to the transports in bylanders. The day for the general embarkation is not yet finally decided on, but it is supposed that about the 11th inst. it will take place.
I join the landing return of the army, viz. the Guards and artillery go up the River Thames; the 12th, 27th, 28th, 40th, 54th, 57th, 69th, 79th, 80th, and 84th, Regiments are to land at Portsmouth the 3d, 14th, 19th, 33d, 38th, 42d, 53d, 63d, 78th, 88th, to Harwich or Yarmouth; the 8th, 37th, 44th, 55th, 83th, 89th, Regiments land at Newcastle; the infantry Foreign Corps to be embarked at Sladt.
A messenger arrived last night from Leghorn, with the important intelligence of a victory gained over the French fleet in the Mediterranean. The particulars will be found in the following Extraordinary Gazette:—
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
TUESDAY, APRIL 7. Admiralty-Office, April 6.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was this evening received from Vice-Admiral Hotham, Commander of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean.
Britannia, at sea, March 16, 1795.
SIR,
You will be pleased to inform their Lordships, that on the 8th inst. being then in Leghorn road, I received an express from Genoa, that the French fleet, consisting of 15 sail of the line and 3 frigates, were seen two days before off the Isle of Marguerite, which intelligence corresponding with a signal made from the Moselle, then in the offing, for a fleet in the north-west quarter, I immediately ordered the squadron to be unmoored, and at day break the following morning we put to sea with a strong breeze from the east-north-east.
The Moselle previously returned to me, with the information, that the fleet she had seen were steering to the southward, and supposed to be the enemy; in consequence of which I shaped my course for Corsica, left their destination should be against that island, and dispatched the Tarleton brig to St. Florenzo, with orders for the Berwick to join me with all possible expedition off Cape Corse; but, in the course of the night, she returned to me with the unwelcome intelligence of that ship's having been captured two days before by the enemy's fleet. To trespass as little as possible upon their Lordships' time, I shall not enter into a detail of our proceedings until the two squadrons got sight of each other, and the prospect opened of forcing the enemy to action, every movement which was made being directed to that object, and that alone.
Although the French ships were seen by our advanced frigates daily, yet the two squadrons did not get sight of each other until the 14th, when that of the enemy was discovered to windward.
Observing them on the morning following still in that direction, without any apparent intention of coming down, the signal was made for a general chase, in the course of which, the weather being squally, and blowing very fresh, we discovered one of their line battle ships to be without her topmasts, which afforded to Capt. Freemantle, of the Inconstant frigate (who was then far advanced on the chase) an opportunity of shewing a good proof of British enterprise by his attacking, raking and harassing her until the coming up of the Agamemnon, when he was most ably seconded by Captain Nelson, who did her so much damage as to dis-
able her from putting herself again to rights; but they were at this time so far detached from our own fleet, that they were obliged to quit her, as other ships of the enemy were coming up to her assistance, by one of which she was soon afterwards taken in tow.
Finding that our heavy ships did not gain on the enemy during the chase, I made a signal for the squadron to form upon the larboard line of bearing, in which order we continued for the night.
At day-light the next morning (the 14th) being about 6 or 7 leagues to the south-west of Genoa, we observed the enemy's disabled ship, with the one that had her in tow, to be so far leeward, and separated from their own squadron, as to afford a probable chance of our cutting them off. The opportunity was not lost; all sail was made to effect that purpose, which reduced the enemy to the alternative of abandoning those ships, or coming to battle.
Although the latter did not appear to be their choice, they yet came down (on the contrary tack to which we were) with the view of supporting them; but the Captain and Bedford, whose signals were made to attack the enemy's disabled ship, and her companion, were so far advanced, and so closely supported by the other ships of our van, as to cut them off effectually from any assistance that could be given them; the conflict ended in the enemy's abandoning them, and firing upon our line as they passed with a light air of wind.
The two ships that fell proved to be the Ca Ira (formerly the Couronne,) of 80 guns, and the Censeur of 74.
Our van ships suffered so much by this attack, particularly the Illustrious and Courageaux, having each lost their main and mizen masts, that it became impossible for any thing further to be effected.
I have, however, good reason to hope, from the enemy's steering to the wellward, after having passed our fleet, whatever might have been their design, their intentions are for the present frustrated.
The French fleet were loaded with troops—the Ca Ira, having thirteen hundred men on board, and the Censeur one thousand, of whom, by their obstinate defence, they lost in killed and wounded, between three and four hundred men.
The efforts of our squadron to second my wishes for an immediate and effectual attack upon the enemy, were so spirited, and unanimous, that I feel peculiar satisfaction in offering to their lordships my cordial commendation of all ranks collectively. It is difficult to specify particular desert, where emulation was common to all, and zeal for his majesty's service the general description of the fleet.
It is, however, an act of justice to express to the sense I entertain of the services of Captain Holloway of the Britania. During a long friendship with that officer, I have had repeated proofs of his personal and professional talents: and on this recent demand for experience and information, his zeal afforded me the most beneficial and satisfactory assistance.
Herewith I transmit a list of the killed and wounded on board the different ships of the squadron, and have to lament the loss of Capt. Littlejohn, of the Berwick who, (I understood from her men, that were re-taken in the Ca Ira,) was unfortunately killed the morning of the ship's being captured: by which misfortune his Majesty has lost a most valuable and experienced officer, and I have only to add, that he has left a widow and four small children.
Your most obedient humble servant, W. HOTHAM.
P. S. Inclosed are lists of the ships that composed the two squadrons on the 14th inst.
I am now on the way with the prizes to St. Florenzo, but doubt much whether it will be possible to get them in, as they are dismasted, greatly shattered, and very leaky, particularly the Ca Ira.
Total, 75 killed, 280 wounded.
MAURITIUS, Oct. 28.
We are now assured that the English have left our coast. The Union, captain Raguin, is just come in with 150 oxen. He must have fallen into the hands of the enemy, had they been able to keep their station. The greatest exertions are making to enable our frigates to put to sea again.
Spain, forced like all the other Belligerent powers, to impose new taxes for the purpose of defraying the heavy expenses of the present war, has adopted such measures as are sufficient for that end, at the same time they do not burthen the lower ranks of society.
The new taxes consist, first—in a contribution of 4 per cent from all such pensions and gratuities paid by government, as exceed a sum equivalent to 100l. sterling; secondly, in the extension of stamp duties to all the clerical courts of justice, such as the tribunal of the inquisition, the rota, &c. which before were exempted from these duties; thirdly, in an impost on all the pensions and possessions of military orders, national as well as foreign, for instance, the Order of Malta, &c. This impost consists of 8 per cent on all incomes in money, and 12 per cent from all incomes in kind. These taxes have not displeased the people, and have excited no murmurs among those on whom they are imposed.
FRANCE.
PARIS, March 9.
A report has been circulated in Paris, that the Barbary states had joined the coalition against France, a notice was published on the 1st inst. that the best understanding subsisted between the republic and the states on the coast of Africa; that corn was daily arriving from those states in the French ports in the mediterranean; and that a letter from the dey of Al-
giers had been received by the committee of public safety, containing the strongest assurances of amity.
On a motion from the committee of agriculture and arts in the French convention, rewards are decreed for destroying wolves; 300 livres, for killing a she-wolf with young; 250 livres for a she-wolf not with young; 200 livres for a he-wolf, and 100 livres for each young wolf under the size of a fox.
Particulars of the late Insurrections in ITALY.
ROME, Feb. 28.
The high price of provisions has produced a commotion in several towns of Italy, above all at Vicence, where more than 20 persons have perished. For several days past, commotions have prevailed here, and have had a most alarming appearance. The cause of them was as follows; It is well known, that no where are the pleasures of the Carnival followed with so much eagerness as in Italy. For three years past, however, the evils which affect humanity and religion have induced the government to prohibit balls and masquerades during that season. Unhappily, however, this prohibition bore only on the common people; for the nobility did not make a sacrifice of their pleasures, and they thereby furnished a pretence for the troubles which broke out. On Thursday the Trans-Tiberians, and the inhabitants, of the quarter called La Port du Peuple, traveled the streets of Rome in masks, and throwing out menaces, which, however, were not followed up by acts of violence, on account of the numerous patroles which pervaded the town.
On the Monday following, they appeared in greater numbers still in masks, rioting in the streets, and dancing to popular tunes. The guards attempted to disperse them, which was resisted by the populace, and several were taken into custody: This was a signal for a riot, bordering on an insurrection, which continued the succeeding night and next day. Above a thousand men, armed with knives, bludgeons, and stones, attacked the patrole and the body guard, which were presently obliged to take to flight. The soldiers wished to fire upon the mob, but, to avoid a general insurrection, the government prevailed on them to desist, and retire to their quarters. The people remained masters of the field, and last night extended the tumult to various parts of the metropolis. In the squares and other places where they collected in crowds, a number of torches and bonfires were displayed, and attempts were made to scale the walls of the palaces. They proceeded at first to the Borghese palace, where there was a ball and supper of 180 covers; The Trans-Tiberians attempted to force the gates: a large sum of money was distributed to them from the windows, which induced them to retire. They next proceeded to the Duc de Braschi's palace, which they forced, and even penetrated to the Duches's apartments, who was confined from indisposition. This outrage had such an effect upon her, that she fell into convulsions, and was apparently dead. In consequence of solicitations, and a judicious distribution of money, the insurgents at last dispersed. From thence they went to the Prince Pombno and Prince Chioi's residence; but after a fruitless effort to break into it, they went to several inns, where they put the travellers under contribution, re-galed themselves with victuals and wine, without payment, and ended their frolic in pillaging and robbing several houses of distinction. In their progress, their language to the nobility was such as might be expected from men under a paroxysm of inebriety and licentiousness. The government appeared paralyzed, and are exceedingly cautious in resorting to coercive means, to check the fury of the populace, who are supposed to be instigated by persons of rank and influence, for the purpose of effecting a revolution. So great is the alarm and consternation of the peaceable inhabitants, that a number have resolved to leave the metropolis, should not the disturbance be speedily suppressed. At present, it is the general opinion that the troubles will subside, and terminate with the Carnival.
FEBRUARY 27.
An edict has been published by his holiness, through the medium of the Secretary of State, with respect to the late disturbances in this city. It contains an amnesty for what has hitherto occurred, with an admonition to the people henceforward to respect the public tranquility.
It is declared a crime against the State to insult or maltreat any soldier. All the other points relative to the late affair are referred to the Secretary of State, who has offered a reward of 200 Scudi to whoever shall inform against the assassins of the two soldiers who were killed in the riot of the 17th inst.
POLAND.
DANTZICK, Feb. 15.
The provisions particularly wheat of Poland are stopt for the use of the Russians & Austrians.
The Prussian government is obliged to solicit the authorization of one or the other of the powers in order to get some.
The tribunals established by the Russians for judging the Polish patriots will be opened on the 27th February, in case of necessity they will continue their sittings two years, that not a single patriot shall escape.
They ordered the bodies of the partizans condemned by national laws during the revolution, to be dug up; and pompous funeral ceremonies are now preparing in the bosom of Warsaw for these remains raised out of the tomb; horrible ceremonies, at which the several corporations of tradesmen of the capital will be forced to assist in the midst of Russian bayonets. See here the painful consequences of a counter-revolution.

the 1st of April, when a decree of accusation was passed against Barrere and his accomplices. The Convention was grossly insulted by an immense mob, above half women, who under a pretence of asking for Bread, urged on, no doubt, by the Royalists and Anarchists, or both, rushed into the hall of the Assembly, clamorously demanding bread, calling on the Mountain "to thunder on the heads of the Frerons and Talliens, and once more save the country." The President beseeched them "to retire, and leave the assembly to deliberate calmly for the general good." The press however continued to increase, till the members were absolutely forced from their seats, obliged to adjourn in confusion, and make their escape over the battlements.
General Pichegru happened to be then at Paris, concerting measures with government for the ensuing campaign; the committee of general war fare struck a bold stroke, and immediately appointed him temporary commandant of the Paris militia. At their head he soon quelled the rioters; but not before he had been obliged to exercise all his courage, firmness and prudence. One attempt was made to assassinate him, by which he was wounded in the breast by a pistol ball; he had a horse killed under him, and was dismounted and thrown to the ground three times during the riot. One young officer, who was active in arresting the ring-leaders, after having his thigh broken by a musket ball, fell, and was instantly seized by the women, who tore off his cloaths, and were actually beginning to eat him alive, when he was rescued. (It is worthy of remark, that the women were by far the most ferocious part of the mob, and most sanguinary and abusive in their language when in the Convention.) The real citizens of Paris and the National guard, were not concerned in the riot, but cheerfully rallied at the next sitting of the Convention, surrounded the Hall, and swore to protect the honor and dignity of the government, or perish. Several others of the violent party, the supposed authors of the late commotions were expelled. In short, it appears the Moderates have completely triumphed over their opponents. When these accounts left Paris, all was calm; the ill-disposed were watched, and the Convention with republican guards at every avenue, were deliberating in security and tranquility.
The day after this terrible crisis, General Pichegru appeared at the bar of the National Convention, and pronounced the following
SPEECH:
CITIZEN REPRESENTATIVES,
Called to Paris by the Committee of Public Safety to co-operate in the measures for the ensuing campaign, you have aided a new proof of confidence, by giving me the command of the National guards of Paris, during the moment of agitation which has taken place. The zeal and activity of the good citizens of Paris, have soon subdued the factious; and I congratulate myself for having co-operated therein. In coming here to request leave to return to my post, I have thought it my duty to do homage to the intrepid calmness and bravery of the National Guards of Paris. It will be a great satisfaction to me to inform my brethren in arms, of the unshaken firmness of the National Convention, and of the energy with which they have conquered the remains of the tyrannical faction of the 9th Thermidor.
I shall answer them that they have no longer to dread that butchers should destroy on the scaffold their relations and friends, while they are shedding their blood on the frontiers of their Country; this assurance will increase their courage; they will no longer tremble for the existence of those they hold most dear; they will no longer have any other object than their exterior enemies, we will fight them; the justice of our laws will secure us the Victory; the Convention wishes nothing but Justice and Liberty, the people will support them, and the armies will make them triumphant. Vive la Republic.
Miscellaneous Articles.
PARIS, April 3.
At this moment, when the Convention have discovered themselves firm, have purged themselves, have filled their committee of government with men of probity and intelligence, who will give us a government, (the only object of the wishes of all good citizens,) the general opinion is in favor of the Republic; and the people suffer with patience the momentary want of bread, and the excessive scarcity of every species of necessary subsistence.
FRERON , by motion of order, pronounced a speech, in which he proved, that the banishment of BILLAUD, COLLOT, and BARRERE, suppresses, in fact, the punishment of death. He demands what tribunal can condemn to death, those who have been only servants to those whom the Convention have banished? He concluded by proposing the suppression of the punishment of death, against all the revolutionary criminals, except for emigration, military treason, correspondence with exterior enemies, the counterfeiting of assignats, and the provocation of royalty.
By letters from Brest, we find that the greatest activity prevails in that port, in arming the Ships of the Line and Frigates, destined for the East-Indies and St. Domingo. The division for India, commanded by Rear Admiral Ker-julen, will consist of three ships of 74 guns, the Redoubtable, the Rights of Man, and the Watigney, with several Frigates: The division for St. Domingo, will consist of four Ships of the Line, and several smaller Vessels.
RISE OF EXCHANGE.
The Course of Exchange, in consequence of the Treaty, is every day growing better, the
Louis, which the first day was sold at 270 livres, (in assignats) on the third day, was sold at only 200 livres, and yesterday at only 160 livres.
BARRERE.
An Article in the late Paris Papers, mentions BARRERE's being seen at Orleans. He was in a carriage with an armed Citizen on each side of him, and by the term used in speaking of him, he is supposed to have been expelled from Paris.
CAMBON.
The well known financier of the French Republic, has been lately obliged to resign. A member invited him to do it quietly. He was at first obdurate, and demanded, that his conduct should be examined: Several members then told him that his integrity was not doubted, but nobody had any confidence in his abilities, and that his system would ruin France.—He accordingly desired to be dismissed from the Committee of finance.
DEMOCRATION OF POLAND.
The empress of Russia has assigned 50,000 sequins to the king of Poland, and assured him besides of her protection; for the old tender lady seems not to forget, that Stanislaus in the vigor of youth was one of her most accomplished favorites.
A congress will be held at Grodno, where all the ministers of foreign powers are invited to assist: Prussian troops will shortly march to take possession of that place, in consequence of the late treaty agreed on by the three partitioning powers.
According to what has already transpired of the final treaty, Poland will be divided as follows:
PRUSSIA,
The country which lies on the left bank of the Vistula and Niemen, and on the right bank of the river Bog, which contains besides South Prussia, the palatinates of Sendomirz, Cracow, Podlachia, and part of the palatinates of Trokie and Mazovia, with the cities of Warsaw and Cracow.
The lot of AUSTRIA comprehends all the territory extending from the right bank of the Vistula to the borders of the river Bog: it comprises the whole palatinates of Chelm and Lublin, the remaining part of Malovia, and besides some districts of Volhnia which lie contiguous to the kingdom of Galicia.
RUSSIA
Will have all the rest of Poland, which reunited to the provinces already taken possession of in 1772, would form a kingdom more extensive than England, Scotland and Ireland together.
From BRISTOL,
we learn, by the ship Merchant, which left that city on the 6th April, that a report was there prevalent, that the Ottoman Porte had taken an active part in favor of the French, and declared war against the Spaniards.
The CONVENTION
seem, at length, to be convinced, that the populace of Paris have had an undue check on the freedom of debate. As a measure, therefore, essential to their dignity, as a legislative body, and their free deliberation, as patriots, Lecointre has proposed, that they remove their sittings to Chalons-sur-Marne, 95 miles east of Paris. Thus distanced from the vortex of that distracted metropolis, they may investigate with more calmness, decide with more justice, and execute with more vigor.
Chalons is seated, between two fine meadows, on the rivers, Marne, Mau, Nau; and contains about 15,000 inhabitants, who carry on a considerable woolen manufactory. It was formerly an episcopal see, in the province of Champagne; and is the seat of an academy of the sciences, arts and belles lettres.
Should the convention persist in their design of removal, the people of Paris, it is thought, will not willingly surrender their power; and another septembrization will probably ensue.
PROVISIONS.
While grain is so scarce in France, as to occasion frequent insurrections, Beef, Pork, and most salted provisions, we are told bare no profitable price there.
Capt. CROCKER spoke a vessel a few days ago from France for Gloucester, which had on board the Soap and Candles, she carried out with her, and which she had been unable to sell there.

GUADALOUPE.
By Capt. WELLES, in 20 days from Guadalupe, we learn, That the embarkation of the troops, said to be destined against Martinique, had not been effected. They were still in a state of preparation. The enterprise was fraught with much hazard, as English ships were seen daily cruising round the Island.
From BALTIMORE, May 21.
Capt. Mather, of the schooner Assistance, arrived on Tuesday evening last, in 14 days from St. Marc, informs that the French had made an attack on that place, and were repulsed with very considerable loss: that he learnt that six or seven hundred British troops had arrived at
Port-au-Prince, and that a sortie was made from that place against the republicans who were compelled to raise the siege with very great loss.
Brig Three Friends, of Salem, Capt. Elliott, sixteen days from Jacquemel. Mr. M'Kim, who came supercargo in the Three Friends, has obliged us with the following information: That the garrison of Port-au-Prince having received a reinforcement, made an unexpected attack on the besieging republicans with very great slaughter, and forced them to suspend the blockade: that the British, to give the enemy a testimony of their superiority, had, in their turn, made a vigorous attack on Leogane, about the 14th ult. with three frigates and four privateers, in which a number of American vessels then lying in port, had sustained very great injury. After they had retired, orders were sent down to Petit Guave for all the ship carpenters to go up and repair the damage done to the shipping. The inhabitants who had fled were returning with their property, and matters began to go on again in a regular train.
He likewise informs, that an embargo had been laid on all the vessels laying at Aux Caves, in order, as it was supposed, to remedy their loss at Port-au-Prince, with an attack upon Jeremie.
From PHILADELPHIA, May 22. We give the following important extract on very responsible authority.
Postscript to a letter dated Nantz, March 27.
It is said, Gen. Stofflet, one of the brigand general who did not give himself up, has been defeated. Also PEACE has been established between France, Prussia, and Spain."

ARRIVAL of Mr. JAY.
Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, our beloved and much respected citizen John Jay, arrived in the ship Severn, Capt. Goodrich, in 42 days from Bristol. An immense concourse of citizens were in a few minutes assembled on the wharfs, who received and conducted him amidst repeated acclamations, to his house in Broad Way: when Mr. Jay addressed them, as nearly as we recollect, in the following words:
"Fellow-Citizens, These marks of your attention to me are highly grateful—I can never forget them—and the recollection of them will give a new motive to do, what shall be agreeable to you, and conducive to the general welfare. I thank you for your kind reception, and am happy to be again in my own country, and in the midst of you, my friends and fellow-citizens."
Acclamations of cordial applause answered the address: and the assembly separated with mutual congratulations.
At six o'clock a joyful peal was rung from the bells of the city: and at seven a federal salute was fired from the battery, which was returned from the fort on Governor's island.
TRANSLATED for the DIARY.
[PROPOSALS from the royalists of Brittany, to the Representatives of the French People.]
The royalists of Brittany, Normandy, Maine, Anjou, and other provinces of France, imagining that a popular government is liable to many dangerous commotions which often disturb the general repose; are convinced that a monarchical government is the best adapted to the constitutions and temper of the French people.
They therefore request that an entire and reciprocal pardon may take place amongst Frenchmen, an unlimited freedom of commerce, personal security, respect to property exercise of criminal and civil laws, and a cessation of all arbitrary proceedings. The most effectual protection to the cultivators of the soil, the inhabitants of the country, the first and principal support of the State.
That the inward and outward trade may be protected, so as to return again to its former prosperity, for it is the only spring of riches and the surest means of establishing our finances.
That the mechanic and the industrious of all classes, may enjoy perfect liberty.
That the soldiers, who by courage and talents have deserved preferment and honor, may receive them, for the warlike valor of Frenchmen should never be forsaken.
The royalists of Brittany, Normandy, Maine, Anjou and other provinces, cannot more evidently shew their affection to the royalists of La Vendee, than by subscribing and assenting to all that will be agreed on by the general Charrette, for the establishment of peace and friendship between Frenchmen.
They are sensible that the general tranquility can no other way be restored than by a fulfilment of these articles, which by gradual steps, will destroy anarchy and civil war.
The French people re-called to their natural affections, will become gentle, kind and humane, and by repairing their faults and an incessant industry, they will astonish the world.
No more will they take up arms but to defend the limits which have been marked by their undaunted courage and which they will be so moderate as not to exceed.
By holding up the olive branch to all Europe, we will show that we are true Frenchmen, de-
servous of nothing besides the happiness of the people—always ready to confirm this principle and seal it with our blood.
(Signed) Le baron de Caumartin, Marechal de Camp Major general of the Catholic Royal army of Brittany.
From NEWPORT, June 4.
