From the OBSERVER.
LONDON, May 3.
Burning of the BOYNE Man of War.
At 11 o'clock on Friday morning, a fire broke out on board his majesty's ship Boyne, of 98 guns, which continued with irresistible violence 'till five o'clock, when the magazine blew up.
The cause of this melancholy accident has not yet been clearly ascertained. The fire was first discovered in the after part of the ship, and is supposed to have proceeded from either a live cartridge from the muskets of the soldiers, who were exercising with small arms on the windward side of the ship, having lodged in the captain's or admiral's cabin, and caught something combustible, or from the funnel of the admiral's cabin having been on fire, and communicated to the deck.
The flames burst through the poop before the fire was discovered. Fortunately, the greatest part of the powder had been put on shore three days ago, and, upon the first alarm, the cock was turned upon the grand magazine. The force and all hanging magazines contained but very little power; the former exploded with very little effect.
When the fire broke out there was a fresh breeze at S. W. and, it being tide of ebb, the ships were riding with their stems to the wind. Within half an hour after the commencement of the fire, the tops and all the rigging were in a blaze.
About twelve the tide turned, and the position of the ships became changed, but it was then too late to make any attempt, or even for boats to get near her. Previous to this however, from the number of boats that went instantly to their assistance, it is hoped that most of the crew were saved, though, from the rapidity of the flames, it is feared that some must have perished.
All her guns were loaded, and as they became heated, they went off, the shot falling amongst the shipping, and some of them even reached the shore, but without, it is hoped, having done any damage. It was upwards of two hours from the first discharge 'till all the guns had gone off. About two her cables were burnt, and she went adrift, the fire blazing through every port hole. The light, though at noon day, was awfully grand. The ships to leeward of her, ran down to St. Helen's, and the drifted slowly to the Eastward, her mizen mast and topsails having fallen down before she began to drift.
About 3 o'clock the wreck was drifted by the tide further on the Spit, opposite South Sea Castle, when the magazine blew up with a very great explosion.
This noble ship, which was only five years old, was completely manned and victualled: there were also a vast number of women and children on board, many of whom, horrid to relate, must have perished. The men jumped overboard, and were mostly taken up by boats belonging to the fleet, which had all been manning on the first alarm, and ordered to render every assistance. The Port admiral, Sir Peter Parker, at the same time, went on board the Royal William, and made the signal for all the fleet instantly to get under weigh. The wind was very unfavorable, but the orders were executed with so much judgment and alacrity, that all the other ships got out of her way, and very fortunately being in the day time, dropped down to St. Helen's without any of them receiving the smallest damage.
The explosion was tremendous and grand. Shot, and pieces of timber were thrown to a considerable distance all around her, and a column of smoke arose in the air, that formed itself into the most sublime and picturesque appearance. It is melancholy to add, that as several boats were near the wreck at that moment, it is the general apprehension that some of them must have been funk.
We are sorry to find the account of the loss of the Illustrious, of 74 guns, is confirmed. She was driven ashore in a gale of wind, near Avenza. The crew and stores are however saved.
Admiralty Office, April 28.
Extract of a Letter from Captain Sir J. B. Warren, Bart. of his majesty's ship La Pomone, dated off Falmouth, April 24, 1795, to Evan Nepean, Esq.
Until the 15th instant nothing material occurred; when a sail having been discovered in the N. E. by the Isle de Rhé bearing E. N. E. five leagues, I made the signal for a general chase, and at half past eight, A. M. the Artois brought her too. She proved to be Le Jean Bart ship, corvette, of 26 guns and 187 men.
On the 16th, having seen several fail ahead, gave chase with the squadron, and at four, P. M. Belleisle bearing N. eight leagues distant, came up with the rear of a convoy. A corvette brig, passing us to leeward, exchanged a few shot, which carried away her standing fails. Finding it impracticable to pursue her, the failing close on shore, I stood after the rest, and at five, P. M. brought to a ship and a brig, which, being in ballast, were fast on fire. The Galatee also, after exchanging a few shot, brought to a ship-corvette ahead, which proved to be L'Expédition, of 16 guns, and 120 men, formerly a packet in our service.
The Artois also captured two sloops laden with fish. The rest of the convoy, with a frigate, standing in between the rocks, for Hede and Quiberon bay, escaped.
Extract of a Letter from the same, dated April 25.
In addition to the list of vessels taken and destroyed by the squadron under my command, Capt. Nagle, of the Artois, acquaints

me, that on the evening we fell in with the last convoy off Belleisle, he chased a ship and brig upon the rocks near the island of Hede, which were lost thereon.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of April 20.
Merlin of Douai, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety: "I am directed by your Committee of Public Safety to present to you a new Representative of the People to the army of the Western Pyrenees. This proposition will undoubtedly astonish those who have been led away by the suggestions of some Journalists, inspired by I do not know what Machiavellian influence; imagine, that in consequence of a pretended Treaty lately concluded with Spain, we have already evacuated our conquests in that country, and that all hostilities against that country are at an end. It would, perhaps, not be indifferent to search for the sources of that falsehood; by this means undoubtedly, you will see all the errors, all the falsehood, and all the calumnies, which for a long time have been spread, and are inculcated with such rapidity, with respect to the most important operations of the Government. No doubt but those (who in their own false reports, hasten a Peace which Spain undoubtedly might as much wish as England would appear alarmed) are the very same persons who invent arrivals from London to Paris, sometimes of Baronet Eden, and sometimes of Lord Spencer, for the purpose of negotiating with the Committee of Public Safety: the same who invent our defeats in East Friesland; the same, who the day before the arrival of the Treaty of Peace with Prussia, circulated, that all negotiations had been suddenly broke up; the same, who in that Treaty so interesting to the fate of Europe, secretly threw in an article which restores Holland to its former master, the Stadtholder; the same who make the Committee of Public Safety negotiate with the Empress of Russia against the Swedes, Danes, and Turkey; that is to say, against the natural allies of the French People; the same who report that the English fleet had been victorious in the late naval combat in the Mediterranean, whilst for two ships which we lost in this really miraculous engagement, where we had only five engaged against fifteen, it cost the English the Berwick, of 74, conveyed in triumph into our ports, and the Britannia, of 100 guns, which, since the engagement, has appeared in no port; the illustrious of 74 guns, which was stranded on the coast of Nice, and the Bedford, Courageux, and the Captain, which have been so shattered, that they retained not the least resemblance of a ship: These, in short, are the same who dare to say, that your Committee, that you yourselves, are going to resign the Republican System; and again to lead the French People under the yoke of Royalty. Indeed, in order to counteract the horrible plots which are founded upon these ridiculous imputations, it is sufficient to represent them to light: falsehood lives only in darkness; day-light sickens and kills it. I return to the army of the Western Pyrenees. The object is to concentrate more and more their operations, and therefore your Committee proposes to you, to add Maignand, the Representative of the People, to those who are already on that mission. The perfect knowledge which he already possesses of the country occupied by that brave army, renders the measure which we propose to you, infinitely precious; and we are not afraid to announce beforehand, that it will be crowned with the greatest success. The National Convention decreed the insertion in the Bulletin of this report, and to be referred to the Committee of General Safety, to take such measures as it should think proper, in order to counteract the plots of the authors of those false and perfidious rumours, which are soon thrown out the Republic. "
The National Convention then decreed, that Maignand, the Representative of the People, shall set out without delay, on Mission for the Army of the Western Pyrenees, invested with all the powers usually entrusted to the Representatives of the People with the Armies.
Brue, Representative of the People with the Army on the coasts of Brest and Cherbourg, wrote a letter with congratulation to the Convention upon their victory over the Conspiracies, at which, he said, the whole army was rejoicing.
Lefage, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, said, "The Committee once proposed to you, for particular reasons, to re-unite, under the command of one General, the two armies on the coast of Brest and Cherbourg; but these reasons not existing any longer, and your confidence in the Committee not having declined, they propose to you to appoint General Hoche to the command of the army on the coasts of Brest, and Aubert Dubaret to that of the army on the coasts of Cherbourg."—Decreed.
A deputation from the Section of Butte des Moulins appeared. The spokesman complimented the Convention on the wise and humane measures they are taking for the welfare of the Republic, and he demanded of the Convention to submit the Constitution of 1793 to the deliberations of their members. The President made a short answer. Some members proposed honourable mention, and the insertion of the address in the Bulletin. Others moved for the order of the day.
Blad—"All the citizens have a right to address and to petition the Convention; the address of the deputation contains nothing against the Democratic Republic. The People, who have the right to revise their own Constitution, have undoubtedly the right of asking you to establish it. Why is there an opposition against the motion
of honourable mention? Is it because it contains truth? Or is it because it repeats what we all know, namely, that the Constitution has been decreed during the Thunder and Lightning of the holy Mountain."— The Convention rejected the order of the day; and decreed honorable mention and the insertion of the address in the Bulletin.
In the evening, Syeyes was elected President of the Convention.
Auguis informed the Convention, that Ruamés and Levalleur of Sarthe, had surrendered themselves prisoners to the officers of justice.
Sitting of April 21.
The Administrators of the district of Charleville, in the department of Ardennes presented an address of congratulation on the late success against the conspiracies. They announced the atrocities committed by Missionaries at the Castle of Ham, and particularly Levasseur, whom they called journeyman butcher of Robespierre, "who (said they) had ordered the most enlightened citizens of the department to be murdered on the scaffold."
A decree, with respect to the manner of the election of candidates for the members of the National Convention was issued.
Bourdon de l'Oise said, a project of a decree on finances has been proposed to you this morning; finances are the only means by which our enemies succeeded to lay our Revolution in fetters; you have only to listen to projects upon finances, and you will soon be again thrown into confusion. I move that the discussion on this subject be not opened until the end of six days; for the project contains very important objects, and many of our colleagues and myself propose to ourselves to oppose a number of those propositions. The discussion was adjourned.
The Convention decreed, that the members of the Committee of the Revolutionary Tribunal at Nantes should be tried before the Criminal Tribunal.
Syeyes, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, announced the arrival at Paris of an Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Sweden, and read the following credentials:
"We, Gustavus Adolphus, King of the Sweden, &c. &c. To the most Honorable, most Illustrious, our Friends and Allies, sincerely cherished by us, the Citizens Representatives of the French Republic, our greeting, and the assurance of our vows for your happiness."
"Desiring to give you testimony of our friendship, and of our sincere sentiments towards you, and to strengthen, in the best possible manner, the ties of friendship, which, for such a number of years, have united Sweden to France; we therefore, in order to have near you an interpreter perfectly capable of expressing to you our sentiments, have conferred the dignity of Ambassador on our faithful subject, the Baron Stael, &c. &c."
The National Convention decreed, that the Ambassador from Sweden shall be introduced at the Sitting of Quartidi next, at two P. M. and that the letter of Credentials be inserted in the Bulletin.
Sitting of April 22.
Sevestre made a report, in which he said that the Government was constantly employed in relieving that sort of scarcity which is experienced in the present moment; that in spite of egotism and malice, Paris will not be famished; but it was necessary that the patience and zeal of the good citizens should co-operate in those measures; that they should be supported by a powerful force, as well as the operations in favour of commerce, which has not ceased to be encouraged. He then proposed, that no Representative should leave Paris; that those, whose mission or leave of absence was expired, should return to their posts; and that the exchanges should be opened in all the Commercial Towns.
The Committee of Public Safety presented to the Convention a Proclamation they had issued to the Inhabitants of the Province of Guipuscoa, disavowing the horrors committed by the armies of the Republic in the conquered countries in Spain, and particularly in the province of Guipuscoa. The agents of the tyranny which has almost destroyed France, have been the cause that the name of the French People has been tarnished in some places.
Sitting of April 24.
Lefage of Eure and Loire read a Dispatch from the Representatives of the People with the Army in the West, on the side of Brest and Cherbourg. That dispatch, dated at Rennes, on the 1st Floreal (April 20) states, that Peace had been signed the same day at six in the evening, by the Chiefs of the Chouans, who solemnly declared that they submitted to the laws of the Republic, one and indivisible; and that they would never more carry arms against it. This dispatch was signed by Lanjuinais and Destermond.
Yesterday, at half past two o'clock, 50 persons, confined in the Bicetre, made their escape; for eight days the Keeper had perceived some movement going forward; and demanded, in consequence, that the Guard should be reinforced. The fugitives passed through a kitchen adjoining the prison; they took advantage of the opening of the door, and rushed upon the two centinels, whom they disarmed; threw down the door-keepers, and taking to their heels, escaped. The Sections of Thermes-Julien, de l'Observatoire, and of the Pantheon, had retaken 34 of these malefactors, and hoped to get the rest. Orders had been given to convey the ring-leaders of this movement to other prisons. The Convention decreed, that honourable mention of the conduct of the Citizen who had assisted in retaking the fugitives, should be made.
Twelve Suppléans were elected to replace 12 Deputies, dead or banished.
Gregoire, in a discourse of the principles of the Right of Nations, declared, that antiquity could furnish examples of that loyalty, of that greatness of soul which ought to actuate the Representatives of a Free People. "Scipio, the Conqueror, respecting the virtue of a young Spaniard—Regulus returning to Carthage, in order to put on his fetters again: These are the models which we ought never to lose sight of."
Rhul said, I am astonished to see a Frenchman affect to produce examples of magnanimity and loyalty only from ancient history. Undoubtedly I hold in admiration as much as any other man the characters of Scipio and Regulus; but for what reason? Because we have no parallels to these so much boasted examples. I have the honour, as a Frenchman, to cite, the ever memorable conduct of John, fore-father of Charles, the Wife, King of France, who was taken prisoner by the famous Black Prince, son of Edward, King of England. He obtained permission to pass over to France, under promise of paying a great ransom, otherwise to return and again become a prisoner, in case of non-payment. Unable to raise the stipulated sum, he returned, as a prisoner; and thus justified, by his example, this excellent maxim, which he was pleased to repeat. That although good faith was banished from earth, it ought to be found in the heart of a King. I move that honourable mention be made of John the First, King of France. (Bursts of laughter.) But why, in changing the form of our Government, have we pretended to renounce the succession of glory which has been annexed to the Monarchy. Should we no less pique ourselves in being the descendants of Bayard, of Duguesclin, of Turenne. In devoting to execution the names of Louis the Eleventh and of Charles the Ninth, shall we be prevented from pronouncing with respect and tenderness the names of Louis the Twelfth, and of Henry the Fourth? I rejoice, I fell myself honoured by being a Republican; but I confess I shall never think myself so much estranged to the ancient French Monarchy, as not to feel my national pride flattered by quoting some of those great actions which, during fourteen ages, have honoured, and ever will honour the French name, although the performers of these achievements had the misfortune to be seated on a Throne. He was truly a King, who said to his friend, Sully, when he charged him with a certain business: "Rise, Sir; if you should be seen, the people will think that I pardon you." What Republican would not wish to be honoured in the same manner?
Lord Bute, who is gone ambassador to Spain, stopped two days on the road to Portsmouth, waiting for final dispatches. Hearing that a Corunna mail had arrived, his Lordship sent back the messenger to London, who is to accompany him to Spain; but he left town again on Tuesday night. Had there been any knowledge of the treaty between Spain and France, no doubt but Lord Bute would have returned to London.
It was observed in the House of Peers on Monday, that the Duke of Portland was much agitated when Earl Fitzwilliam gave notice of his wish to bring forward the circumstances of his late recall. We are sorry to say that his grace went home ill; and he has since been so much indisposed, as to be obliged to call in the assistance of Doctor Warren.
By the last Corunna mail, we learn, that Admiral Don Juan De Langara failed from Mahon on the 6th inst. with 16 ships of the line and 8 frigates, to join Admiral Hotham's fleet.
On Wednesday (and not before) was Married, at the Collegiate Church, Winchester, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Esq. to Miss Hester Ogle, daughter of the Dean of Winchester.
Lord Hood carries out with him three thousand seamen above the compliment of his ships, for the purpose of manning the ships now in the Mediterranean.
Paris papers to the 20th inst. have been received by government. We understand that between the 17th & 20th a decree of accusation was passed in the National Convention against Charette.
One of the principal charges laid against him was, his having dispatched to Stoffet many of the very people he made believe he would have led against that former friend of his. Several tall and stout men had been arrested on their way to join Stoffet, and directions, supposed to have been given by Charette, were even found in their pockets. The examination of his conduct was referred to the three committees.
In the sitting of the National Convention of the 16th instant, Tallien, in the name of the committee of public safety, made a report on the crimes which had sullied the French conquests in Spain, particularly in the provinces of Guipuscoa and Biscay, where the inhabitants, friends of liberty, were waiting to receive the French as brethren.
Saint Sebastian, said he, has opened its gates with acclamations of joy; but the entrance of the French troops within the walls of that city has been distinguished by pillage, and the most unheard of cruelties. The Priests have
been arrested; the monks and nuns have been torn from their cloisters, have been heaped in carts and dragged to Bayonne, where they made them suffer the most horrid treatments.
In Biscay, columns of troops had advanced carrying devastation and death with them; towns and villages have been laid in ashes; those vales, where peace and security had till then inhabited, were become scenes of the most atrocious barbarities; the women were ravished, and those who on their knees asked for their lives, were barbarously massacred. This was the manner in which the ancient government endeavoured to conquer the people from liberty.
The committee was of opinion, that such horrible crimes ought to be disowned by the Convention.
Tallien proposed to disown them formally, and to charge the committee of public safety to present a proclamation on this subject, and to institute prosecutions against the oppressors of the provinces of Guipuscoa and Biscay.
All these propositions were decreed.
A member moved, that the proclamations be translated into the Spanish language; and the men, unworthy of the name of republicans, who committed so many atrocities in Spain, should perish on a scaffold at St. Sebastian.—Decreed.
A private letter, inserted in the Journal Le Batave, but not an official one, was written by the adjutant-general, Thouron, to a friend in Paris, to announce to him, that Stoffet with his army, being surrounded by General Canclaux, had been obliged to capitulate and lay down their arms.
The account which was received by a Lady who landed at Dover, from Boulogne, in the course of last week, of a fresh insurrection in Paris, is confirmed. It was not quelled till the National Guards had fired upon the people and killed several of them.
Sir Frederick Eden, who some weeks since went to Brest to settle an exchange of Prisoners with the French, was on his arrival there repeatedly requested by the committee of public safety to go to Paris, and there confer on this subject. Sir Frederick Eden not having any instructions to proceed to Paris, refused to go thither; in consequence of which the committee have ordered him to proceed to Dieppe by sea; and have informed him, that they have sent a commissary thither, there to treat for an exchange of prisoners.
There is reason to conclude, that the committee wished to enter into some conversation with Sir Frederick Eden, relative to the present situation of public affairs, but that this was declined.
An American vessel has brought Paris papers to government from the 20th to the 26th inst. Their contents, we understand, are of little importance. They mention the arrival of Baron de Stael at Paris, in the character of Ambassador from the Court of Sweden to the French republic. It is said, that Sweden and Prussia are to meditate a peace between the German Empire and France.
Tuesday last very alarming intelligence was received from the West-Indies by a vessel arrived at Liverpool, after a short passage. There is much reason to fear that in the island of St. Vincent the Negroes have been completely successful in their insurrection, and have murdered all the whites.
RENNES, March 14.
The conferences are assiduously continued between the Representatives of the People and the chiefs of the Chouans. Nothing has transpired respecting the different articles which occupied the sittings of this Congress. It is believed notwithstanding the efforts of the evil-minded to occasion a difference between the two parties, that the preliminaries are settled on both sides, and that the arrangements will soon be signed. The following Proclamation has been issued by the Representatives of the People, upon this subject:
"In the name of the French People, The Representatives of the People with the army of the West, &c. to the Administrators of Districts.
"We are conferring with the chiefs of the Chouans. Our object is to re-unite all Frenchmen, and to attach them by confidence to the Government which labors for their good; and will ensure them protection and justice. The Chiefs of the Chouans, who, it is said, authorize the excesses daily committed, and which are denounced to us from all parts disavow these excesses, and attribute them to profligate robbers. We declare to you our intention of maintaining, with all your power, good harmony and understanding, but we announce at the same time, that to preserve order and protect all the Citizens, we will prosecute with rigour all those who, in the name of the Chouans, pillage and lay
waste the country; oppose the progress of provisions and military magazines, destroying the wagons, intercepting communication, menacing the Administrators, maltreating and massacring the citizens.
"We hereby give orders to the Commanders of the Armed force to second our views, and to act in concert with the Constituted Authorities. We doubt not but you will take every measure of prudence which circumstances may require, and that you will recommend to all citizens the love of peace, and the desire of preventing the further effusion of French blood. The Chief of the Chouans will impart our wishes to the men attached to them.
"At Rennes, the 20th Germinal, in the 3d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
(Signed)
"Delermont, Grenot, Bollet, Chaillon, Lanjuinais, I. T. M. Guermur, Jury."
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
April 23.
On the motion of Louvet, who demanded that Tallien's proposition in favor of the heirs of Camille Desmoulins, Philippeaux, and Danton, should be extended to the heirs of all persons executed under the reign of terror; and on the amendment proposed by Doucet, it was decreed, that the Committees should be charged with prosecuting the project of a general decree on this subject. On a report of Cambacérès, made in the name of the Committee of Seven, ordered to prepare the organic laws of the Constitution, the Convention passed the following decree:
1. "A Commission of 11 Members shall be formed to prepare the Organic Laws. This Commission shall be appointed by Nominal Appeal on the 2d Floreal. It shall discuss the means of action, with respect to the Sovereignty of the People, connexions with Foreign Powers, the Finances, the Public Force, the Legislative Body, &c."
2. "The plans on these different subjects shall be printed one decade after their being presented. All citizens are invited to communicate their ideas, with respect to the best organization of the Constitutional Code, and the Commission shall order the best conceived of these to be printed."
3. "No limit is assigned to the labours of this Commission, but it is recommended to them to employ the greatest possible celerity."
The following is the substance of Rovere's report.
Rovere, from the Committee of Public Safety, said: "A point of contact certainly exists, between all the enemies of liberty. The English from without, plan a descent on the coast of Brittany, and the malignant within, an attack on the merchants and the Convention. No plots were ever more artfully combined. A part of this Assembly and of the good Citizens were to have been assassinated. The execution was to have taken place this evening, to-morrow, or the next day, at the latest. One of the principal conspirators, overpowered by his remorse, has revealed the whole of the conspiracy. The Commissioners of Subsistence had previously informed your Committee, that on April 24th, it was reported an allowance of a pound and a half of bread should be delivered to each Citizen in Paris. This was for the purpose of breeding a disturbance, because it was known that such a distribution was impossible. The keeper of the prison of Plessis had discovered in a pound of Swiss cheese, a billet addressed to Cretin, who was there confined, as one of the Chiefs of the Conspiracy of the 1st of April. This billet intimated, that the prisoners should be delivered when he received an Egg half red and half white. A number of Octangular cards were also found bearing this inscription, 'Vive la Montagne' Perrin, an Ex-Member of the Commission of Lyons, an Engineer named Chevalier, and a Quarter-Master of the Gendarmerie, were at the head of this plot. Montaut, Cambon, and Thuriot, were to go in the dress of Representatives to open the prisons. The arsenal was to have been taken, and the Committees invested. They were to have demanded the establishment of the Republican Constitution, without any modification—the arrest of the 73 outlawed Deputies who have lately been restored to their seats—the banishment of Tallien, Fréron, Rovere, Barras, Dubois Crance, Legendre, and others—and the re-entry of the Deputies confined and banished. Many of the Gens d'Armes and the Cannoneers were in this Conspiracy."
The Convention then passed a decree, as mentioned in our paper of yesterday, that Thuriot, Cambon, Ruamés, Hentz, Maignet, Levasseur, de la Sarthe, and Moise Bayle, should be banished, if they did not surrender themselves.
DUBLIN, April 28.
Monday next is the day appointed

for the second reading of the Roman Catholic Bill in the House of Commons.
LONDON, April 25.
The King has been pleased to appoint the Earl of Bute to be his Majesty's Ambassador extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Court of Madrid.
April 26
Letters from Berlin, of the 6th instant, state that all the northern parts of Germany are to be included in the peace between Prussia and France. Even the Electorate of Hanover, from whence a Minister has been dispatched to Balle, to treat with the French Agent Barthélémy. The Palatinate and Meitz are also negotiating; and the treaty is said to contain certain private articles, by which the Prince of Orange is to be restored to the Stadholdership of the Seven United Provinces; and the unhappy Poles are in some degree relieved. The Abbe Sneyes has been the chief promoter of these negotiations.
Stofflet, General of the Chouans, has retaken Clisson, and defeated the Republicans. Many of the soldiers who served under Charette have ranged themselves under the banners of Stofflet.
The Americans purchased their late peace with the Dey of Algiers for the sum of two millions of piasters: peace so secured will, we conceive, be but of short duration. The Dey, when he next wants money, need but threaten hostilities to obtain it.
Letters from Osnabrug state that the French have again advanced into the district of Bentheim. Pichegru was at Cologne on the 8th instant, hastening the arrival of the artillery to commence his operations.
The treaty of peace between Prussia and France, was signed at Balle, early on the morning of the 8th instant.
Eight thousand French emigrants in the environs of Zell, have been obliged by the outrageous conduct of the Hanoverians towards them, to be removed to Harburg; where their reception is little better. Such was the unaccountable aversion of the Hanoverians to these unfortunate men, that on their march through the country, a guard of Hanoverian dragoons was deemed necessary for their protection.
The causes assigned on the continent for the King of Prussia entering into a treaty of peace with France, are the general dissatisfaction of his subjects, the want of resources to carry on the war; and the present dismantled Polish Provinces; where several thousand Prussians had fallen a sacrifice to pestilential disorders and a undecided but suspicious conduct of Russia.
The head quarters of the French General Jourdan are now at Cologne, and the campaign is hourly expected to be opened on the Upper Rhine, which consists at present of 170,000; that of the Austrians is by far more respectable, and better appointed, and exceeds 180,000 men of the best troops in the world.
The Dutch have not, as was expected, returned a mail in answer to that sent from Hamburg into Holland on the 16th ultimo—the communication between Germany and the United States consequently remains shut.
The British Merchant fleet is safe arrived in the Mediterranean.
It is reported, that the authority is not sufficient to justify our belief of the event, that the Spanish fleet has formed a junction with that under the command of Admiral Hotham, and that the allied squadrons are in quest of the enemy.
The Duke of Deux Ponts, who lately died at Mannheim, was heir to the Electorates of Bavaria and Palatine. He has left several children.
Lord Hood in the Victory of 100 guns, with the Defence and Robust, of 74, carrying the flags of Admirals Mann and Dickenson, on Friday dropped down to St. Helena, and will sail in a few days for the Mediterranean.
KING OF POLAND.
The measure of this unfortunate Monarch's sufferings appear at length complete; lately walking on the terrace before his palace, or rather prison, at Grodno, whether the effect of accident or despondency he fell from the terrace; the contusions which he received in consequence were violent, and have been productive of a dangerous fever, from which he is not expected to recover.
The loss of the British troops, since their leaving the Waal, has not, including killed, wounded, frozen, and prisoners, exceeded 700 men. This number, however great, when estimated by our feelings, is but very trifling, compared with what rumour had stated it to be. The sick who were left at Helvoet, Gorcum, Rhenen, and Zutphen, are not, however, noticed in the cost of the expedition.
The trial of Mr. Hastings is now closed, most honourable for himself; as to the effects it will have upon society, towards those who persecuted him, we can readily guess. Perhaps no event has ever occurred since the establishment of civil society, so palpably fraught with meanness and revenge. It originated in unorthodoxy, and terminated in shame, and is a melancholy proof of the malignant influence of Party, upon the minds of men, repelling them not only to forget what is due to their neighbour, but themselves.—What a piece of work is Man!
We hear that the managers of a late trial intend to appeal from the judgment of the Lords to the Supreme Court in Nalibbus, where in fact the whole of the charges originated. As the journey is both long and tedious, and the proceedings known to but a select few in this world, a special Commission is preparing, in which Mr. Halhed, Mr. Burke, Sir William Dolben, and Sir Richard Hill, are said to
be nominated. The mode and course of travelling adopted by these gentlemen, we hear is various, and agreeable to their respective dispositions. Mr. Halhed goes by the way of New Jerusalem, and rides in a balloon shaped like a fiery dragon! Mr. Burke, whose boots are shortly to be greased for the purpose, mounts a St. Patrick's cross filled with phlogistic air; Sir William Dolben rides a grey goose, inflated with the same substance; and Sir Richard Hill who takes his departure from Surry Road, travels in a pulpit inflated with gas.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
Friday April 24.
Earl Fitzwilliam rose to have a day named for the investigation of his official character, during his Government in Ireland. He could not, he observed, patiently resume his seat as a Peer of Parliament, without resorting to this trial, which would show whether the blame lay with him, or with his Majesty's Ministers.—He concluded by wishing, that Noble Lords in office would fix on the first opportunity to bring forward their charges against him, which might justify them in recalling him at such a crisis as they did. If they did not agree to this, he must insist on a day himself for the enquiry.
Lord Grenville was sorry that the Noble Lord thought thus badly of his recall. A recall from the Viceroyship of Ireland, was, he said, a simple thing, which he conceived neither attached diligence on his Majesty's Ministers advising his Majesty to make this change, or on the Noble Peerage recalled. But if, unfortunately the Noble Lord persisted in his purpose, he must fix a day himself.
The Duke of Norfolk then moved, that their Lordships be summoned for Thursday next, for the investigation of Earl Fitzwilliam's official conduct.
On the motion of Lord Mulgrave, the third reading of the Hair Powder Bill was deferred to Tuesday.
Adjourned to Monday.
Great consistency of measures cannot be expected in any part of the present administration of France, and still less in that of the finances. In several sittings of the National Convention we have been told, that the National Domains sold as fast as possible, and at a price far exceeding their real value; and now, for want of purchasers, the assembly is obliged to make a lottery of divers parts of these domains.
The father of the present Lord Trimstown who has lately got his Peerage in Ireland, was one of the most extraordinary characters of the age. He studied physic, and became a most excellent physician; but, unlike the other disciples of Galen, he gave his advice gratis, and was thereby of infinite service to the poor. He generally rose about 8 in the evening, and went to bed at about 6 in the morning, completely turning night into day. He frequently, for exercise and air, rode about the streets at 2 or 3 in the morning, in his coach, and all his servants kept the same hours, the porter at the door excepted.
One of the Paris papers asserts that General Dumourier has lately been at Paris, and made himself known to several of the moderate party, who were unanimous in advising him to make a speedy retreat.
LONDON, May 5.
WESTMINSTER HALL.
Judgment of Mr. Hastings. About one o'clock the lords being come into the Hall, and the Commons with their managers seated the proceeding commenced.
Mr. Hastings was called into court; and as soon as he had pled in the usual form, he was ordered to withdraw, while his judges determined on his case.
The lord chancellor then, in a solemn and dignified manner, put the question of guilty or not guilty to the Peers, upon sixteen articles of charge, severally Their lordships rose, as it had been previously arranged, and, laying the right hand upon the left breast, pronounced the verdict upon honor.
By two o'clock the whole house had been interrogated sixteen times; and Mr. Cooper presented the chancellor with the results.
Mr. Hastings was then called in; and amid the most profound silence, the chancellor addressed him, to state, that a majority of his judges had acquitted him from the matters charged against him; and that, consequently, he stood absolved and acquitted from them and their consequences.
Mr. Hastings respectfully bowed; and turning about to his friends received their warm congratulations.
The Legion of French Emigrants, commanded by M. de S. Simon, and consisting of 1500 men, which hitherto served in the Spanish army in Navarre, has received orders to embark for St. Domingo.
The Panegyric on King John, Louis XII. and Henry IV. delivered in the sitting of the Convention of the 25th ult. and received with the loudest applause, may be considered as one of the most prominent circumstances, which mark the total change of the public opinion in France. This was the first time, since the 10th of August 1792, that
the names of the ancient Kings of France were dared to be mentioned in the Convention, and their virtues praised without exciting murmurs and commotions in the Hall. Although this praise was blended with some revolutionary strictures on Royalty in general, yet its drift evidently tends to revive in the minds of the French people, ideas once so dear to them, and insensibly to lead back the nation to a partiality for a monarchical government. (Times.)
BALE, April 9.
Citizen Bacher Secretary to the French Embassy, has written the following letter, dated the 6th instant, to the Directory of the Department of the Lower Rhine:— "Rejoice, dear Citizens, peace, on the most honourable terms, is concluded between the French Republic and Prussia. The ties of ancient friendship between two nations united by the same interests, are renewed, and they will be indissoluble, because they are founded upon justice, reciprocal Commercial advantages, upon a policy which bids us unite our force against Austria and England, the only enemies whom the French have now to combat."
Vive la Republique.
LONDON, MAY 4.
At the same time that we have to announce the melancholy circumstance of the loss of the Boyne man of war, of 98 guns, by fire, on Friday last, it is with no small satisfaction we are enabled to contradict the reports in all the Evening papers of Saturday last, of the loss of several hundred men, women, and children, in consequence of this accident. By advices received yesterday at the Admiralty from Portsmouth, the total loss is not more than twenty men killed and wounded; of these 2 men were killed and 1 wounded on board the Queen Charlotte, from the shot of the cannon of the Boyne, which were left loaded ever since she arrived from the West-Indies, and of course went off as the guns became heated. The crew of the ship escaped by jumping overboard, and all the boats of the ships at Spithead were out to their assistance. The particulars of this accident are stated in our Portsmouth letter. The cause of it is still undiscovered, as no person saw the fire break out. It is supposed to have been occasioned by the wadding of the musketry catching some loose papers in the Admiral's cabin. The first notice of the fire was its blazing through the poop of the ship.
In investigating the truth of the Treaty lately entered into between Charette and the Convention, we are now persuaded that the solemn ratification of it, on the part of that Assembly, made two months since, and uncontradicted by any declaration on the part of Charette, together with the cessation of hostilities on both sides, does not admit of the least shadow of a doubt concerning its veracity. The peace concluded with the Chouans on the 19th ult. is the natural consequence of the first Treaty. Various conjectures may be formed as to the terms stipulated by the contracting parties.
The negotiations between the Chiefs of the Chouans and the National Commissioners were carried on in the Chateau of La Prevalaye, at a small distance from Rennes. As long as they lasted, a Republican army, composed of 14,000 men were encamped in its vicinity. It appears, that Charette had marched thither, at the head of a detachment of the Vendean troops. During the whole time, from the opening of the negotiations till the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace, several Chouans went to and fro between their camp and Rennes, in their regimentals and wearing the white cockade, without being in the least molested by the Republicans. It was for very good reasons, that Lanjuinais, one of the Chiefs of the Federalists, was added to the other Commissioners appointed to treat with the Chouans, as their party was formed, and their armed force composed mostly of Federalists.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Paris to his friend in London.
"The English are treated with the greatest tenderness, and politeness:— Their property, which was sequestrated during the reign and tyranny of Robespierre, is restored to them on making application; and passports are granted to such as chuse to go to England."
On the 20th of April, Peace was signed at Rennes with the Chiefs of the Chouans, who submit to the laws of the Republic one and indivisible, and engage never more to bear arms against it.

By this Day's MAIL.
It will be seen that the following detail fills up a chasm in our accounts of the French affairs.
From the Columbian Centinel.
THE CRISIS!
[The affairs of France approached to an alarming crisis, on the 1st April—where the last efforts of the Jacobins were made to rescue Barrere, Billaud, and Collot d'Herbois from their impending fate—some particulars of it follow.]
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The sitting of this day was marked with tumult. It was moved that a list of those in confinement, with the causes of their arrest should be printed. This was the signal for the friends of Barrere, &c. to rally. Several motions were made, which though disguised had this object—which they were dispensed with.
Boissy d'Anglas made a general report on the means of supplying subsistencies for the people; but was interrupted by a great noise from without. A numerous body of citizens, of a sudden entered the hall, crying vive la Republique. The President put on his hat.—The cry of "Bread, bread, vive la Republique" continued. Merlin, asked, if the People came with evil intentions? "No no," was answered. Do you demand the Constitution of 1793? Yes, yes—And, cried one of the Jacobins, "The liberty of the Patriots!" This was considered as a signal, and the crowd immediately cried "Bread, bread, and the liberty of the Patriots!" The citizens crowded to the fall over the ballustrades, that they drove many of the members from their seats, who were forced to pass through the barriers, and escape by the bar. [The President and several other members continued in the Hall.] An orator of the mob, addressed the Convention, in the most impudent manner. He charged the present government with all the evils which awaited France; he demanded that the "brilliant army of Freron should be silenced;" and calling on the Jacobins, said, "Mountains, it is you must save the Republic—Rife them; & dissipate all obstacles."
After much confusion, on being assured that measures were in operation for supplying bread to the people, the mob left the hall; and Boissy continued his report. This report gave the Committee power to raise an armed force to conduct the provisions to the capital. The scarcity being so great in several country places, that the wagons carrying grain to Paris had been stopped, and pillaged.
Isabeau moved, the following decree—"The Convention declares to the French people, that there has been this day, an attempt against the freedom of their discussions. And that they charge the Committee of General Welfare to discover, and deliver over to the criminal tribunal of the department of Paris, the instigators of the attempt."
Thibaudeau said, that he should not seek for the authors of these troubles in a minority of the noblest refugees in England. This conspiracy minority exists in France. If the Convention betrays weakness, it is lost.
Andre Dumont followed him. Do you know said he, why the people are rallied? It is because there are some who would with to save the three public robbers!—Let us then instantly terminate the trial, which has caused us to lose so many precious moments. It seems that we wish to abolish the punishment of death; let us decree then, that BILLAUD, COLLOT and BARRERE be exiled. [Decreed by a great majority.] The minority sat up a loud cry, and about forty one members signed a protest against the judgement.
Gen. Pichegru, being at Paris, was directed to take upon him the command of the armed force at Paris.
Freron denounced the existence of a secret committee of insurrection, at whose head were the Representatives Leonard Bourdon and Choudieu. He demanded their arrest. Other members denouncing others of the same club, the Convention decreed, that Chales, Choudieu, Follentaire, Haguet, Leonard Bourdon, Ruamps, Duhamel, and Amar, be arrested, and transferred to the castle at Ham, [about forty miles from Paris, where there is a castle with a tower whose walls are 36 feet thick] and seals put upon their papers. The Convention having thus purged itself of the reliques of Robespierre, assumed a more tranquil progress. They were informed by Barras, that they were surrounded by 50,000 faithful armed citizens, with fifty pieces of cannon.
Numerous deputations felicitated the Convention on their firmness; and a member informed, that all the deputies ordered to Ham, had submitted to the sentence, except Bourdon, who had sought asylum in the section Gravilliers. Gen. Pichegru immediately marched to the section, and Bourdon was given up. A vote of thanks was passed on Gen. Pichegru, and the Paris guards.
[While the Convention was employed in the above proceedings, the city of Paris was violently agitated—the tocsin was sounded—the general beat—and the citizens of Paris flew to arms. Though several attempts to aid the decemvirs were made, the great body of the citizens remained faithful to the Convention—at the head of these Pichegru appeared. An attempt was made to stop the carriages which contained the exiled members; and in the encounter to suppress it, Gen. Pichegru was dismounted three times, and Gen. Rasset wounded.]
On the 4th Cambon resigned his office, as chief financier; and the Convention proceeded to name the Committee charged to report laws for putting in operation the Constitution of 1793. They were, Cambaceres, Merlin de Douay, Thibaudeau,
Sneyes, Mathieu, Lofage, of Eure and Loire, and Claude, Latouche.
The commune of Macon, announced to the assembly, that whilst the Jacobins, the terrorists, the royalists, and the evil-disposed of every kind were agitating Paris, they were also fomenting troubles in the department of Saone and Loire; but the plots were unraveled as at Paris; and order is effectually restored.
During the whole time of this confusion but one life was lost.
ORLEANS,* 15th Germinal.
Billaud Varennes, Barrere, and Collot d'Herbois, have passed through this city, in separate carriages; each being guarded by an incorruptible armed citizen. They were suffered to pass quietly—if such wretches can enjoy quiet. * 60 Miles from Paris, S. S. W.
COMMUNICATION.
Were Mr. Monroe to copy at Paris the conduct of Citizen Fauchet at Philadelphia, he would denounce the National Convention of France, for concluding a treaty of peace and amity with the 'despot' of Prussia, without consulting the United States—a despot too who has warred against our Dutch allies—our allies the French, and the unfortunate Poles! And Mr. Monroe can do it with full as much propriety as Mr. Fauchet denounced Mr. Jay's treaty!

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.
Mr. & Mrs. FRANCIS's Night.
The exertions and expenses made and incurred to render this evening's entertainment (see the first page of this paper) worthy the public attention have been uncommonly great—and we believe says a correspondent for variety, novelty and taste—it will greatly exceed any thing heretofore exhibited.
The SUN of May 5th, says,
"We are happy in being enabled from good authority to state, that an account was last night received by Government, of the taking of the Cape of Good Hope by some British Forces, supposed to have been sent from India for that purpose."
In the ship Richmond, Capt. Lee, came passenger, Major William Jackson, Col. Daws, Mr. Charnier, Mr. McClure, Mr. Salton and two daughters.
Barrere, Collot d'Herbois, and Billaud Varennes, were sentenced to exile in Cayenne, and, on the 15th April, were at the Isle of Cleron, waiting to take passage. All parties were calm in Paris, and order and moderation prevailed. France has likewise concluded a treaty with the Republic of Venice. This news is authentic.
Extract of a Letter from Hamburg, dated 22d April, 1795.
"The English have upwards of 150 sail of transports at Bremen, and this place, to take off, as is supposed, the remainder of their army and the French emigrants."
"There is at Harbourg, opposite this, on the other side of the Elbe, 6000 French emigrants all under arms, they say to be embarked for England, a guard of soldiers is kept on the river, to prevent them from coming in here by stealth; it is likewise said that they do not like to go to England, but mean to remain on the Continent."
"The Hanoverians have marched about 8000 men and taken possession of Cruxhaven at the mouth of the Elbe, which has caused an alarm in this place, the Senate met on Sunday afternoon, and it is said they have sent off an express to Copenhagen."

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington--Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be specially published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.
