FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
[Translated for the MINERVA.] From L'Oberseurateur de L'Europe.  FRANCE.  NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Boissy D'Anglas, President. Sitting of 16 Germinal—(5th April.) Puy-Martin, in the name of the Committee of General Safety—It is necessary, said he, to go as far back as the 9th Thermidor, accurately to comprehend the conspiracy of the 12th Germinal (April 1st.) Scarcely had the 9th Thermidor passed over, when, in infamous bills, and in a Journal called the Friend of the People, the Convention was already denominated the faction of Thermidor, charged as desirous of a king, and as resolute to destroy the constitution of 1793. The embarrassments connected with the arrival of goods was the pretext seized upon by the factious to effect a revolt against the Convention.—This embarrassment was the effect of the rigors of the season; which were augmented by those very persons who affected to lament them the most. Observe, that whenever they spoke of the want of provisions, they spoke likewise of pillage and malversations. D'Obant and Vallet were the first, who, mingling with the crowds, collected at the doors of the Bakers, engaged the women to refuse the rations of bread which was distributed to them.
Other instigators provoked the revolt in the sections of Gravilliers and Quinze-Vint. The very tribunes of the Convention, during several days, were filled at the pleasures of the agitators. Soon that inclosure was violated, and the deliberations of the Convention interrupted; ought this outrage to find its advocates in this place? A crowd of witnesses prove their connection with the agitators. Have they not demanded of you the enlargement of those whom they call patriots? If you had given liberty to these blood-intoxicated men, the Champs Elysees would have been a theatre of carnage.
The malevolent have profited by our horrors of blood. Our brave brothers in arms have exposed themselves to death itself rather than shed the blood of Frenchmen. Those who suspended the departure of the detained, (desdetenus) would have rescued them from the operation of the law. Money was distributed; the cry of rallying was Vive la Montagne ; the terrorists and the royalists united to destroy the National Convention.
In the suburb of Antoine, it was said that we were in need of a king; and that as soon as we had one, England would lend us provisions. The very same men, who said this but a moment before had cried, Vive la Montagne! Vive les Jacobins! In another suburb, Antoine Coruille, the associator of Rasset, has proved by his deposition, that he had received money of Duhem. This revolt is connected with the ambition of those men who would seize again the power which had escaped from them, and with the declarations of those who calumniate the government, because they are no longer of the number of its members.
If the invasion of this inclosure was applauded even by members of the Convention; if they have exclaimed against the simple proposition for declaring that the Convention had been insulted, it is necessary to seek for further proofs of their being accomplices? Who does not see in the majority of the Convention the firm resolution to remain calm, to re-establish the finances, and organize the Constitution? Who does not see in the minority a design to bring back the reign of terror, and to rescue the great culprits from the power of the law?
The Committees are convinced that there will be no safety for the Convention, if to them is allowed the commencing of measures, which appertains solely to your wisdom.
Those times exist no longer, in which the Decemvirs caused the doors of this house to be shut, and by the help of a fable, obtained a decree of accusation against every representative who was obnoxious to them. We shall read some communications which may determine your judgment—and you shall judge. The first is a deposition of Antoine Coruille, locksmith, who lives in Chaillot Street, in the Section of the Elysian Fields. He acknowledges that he had been solicited by Duhem to take part in the revolt, and that he had received one day a bill of 25 livres to second his efforts. He had once before received of the secretary of the Jacobins, about 100 livres, to assist at the sittings of that society. He was excited on the 13th of Germinal, [2d April] by a person named Hubert, a member of the Revolutionary Committee, to oppose the departure of the arrested deputies, who were spoken of by Hubert as excellent patriots.
The second communication proves that Duhem sent to the suburb of Antoine a long, in which the Convention was slandered and the people invited to insurrection. The same communication proves that Duhem sent to the Invalides a liberticide address against the national representation. On the 4th Germinal, he said to Merlin of Thionville—"Go, villain, return to Meaulx, and dine with the son of the king of Prussia."
* By the detained, we presume are meant Barreres, &c. who were stopped by the mob, when on their way to their port of embarkation; but were afterwards liberated by Pichegru, and sent forward.
By the Ship Richmond, Capt. Lee.
HAGUE, April 2. We are assured to day that the request of an alliance of the Province of Holland with the French Republic has been denied to our Ministers at Paris, which news has caused great consternation amongst all those who are attached to the present system.
The States General have taken several resolutions, which shew how little they approve of the measures of the French Administration in this country. They have among others, resolved to assist with all their power the remonstrance of the Charge d'Affaires of the Elector Palatine, concerning the Marquisate of Bergen op Zoom: also against the frequent requisitions under which they put this country, as the general one of the 27th of January should have prevented any particular requisition.
AMSTERDAM, April 6.
On the arrival of the news of a treaty between France and Prussia, and of the return of the French troops into the territory of our Republic, a rumour was circulated here, that Prussian troops were to enter Holland, and that this was sanctioned by the French. Improbable as this is, nevertheless, it has caused a great ferment to shew itself in all the Provinces, but Government has taken the strongest means to suppress it, by means of the military, arrests, and executions. On this occasion, several persons were apprehended, who called out—"Orange for ever!" and who wore Orange Cockades:—they have already received punishment.
PARIS, April 9.
In the departments contiguous to La Vendee, they have taken advantage of the decree for the organization of the Clergy, almost every where the Constitutional Priests have been forced to abjure their oaths.
The navigation of the Scheldt, wrested in the beginning of this century from Antwerp, by the Dutch government, has been restored to that city by the French Republic. The benedict effects of disengaging that precious source which in former times poured prosperity and wealth over all Belgium, cannot be sensibly felt in the Netherlands till tranquility is re-established in Europe by a solid peace.—However, according to accounts dated Brussels March 24, it appears that many merchantmen have already arrived at Antwerp, and lately among others a three masted galliot from Courland and a vessel from Genoa.—The arrival of these ships is a presage of the future prosperity of Belgium, which once was, and will again be with respect to agriculture, industry and commerce, the most celebrated spot of Europe.
LONDON, April 14.  HOUSE OF LORDS. Monday, April 13.
ADMIRAL HOTHAM.
Earl Spencer gave notice, that he would move the thanks of the House to vice-admiral Hotham, for the late naval victory in the Mediterranean.
Earl Lauderdale said, that he did not wish to oppose this vote of thanks; but expressed his hopes, that the noble Earl at the same time, would put the House in possession of some proofs of this decided victory.
Earl Spencer replied, that he would proceed in the usual forms on such occasions; and then moved, that the House be summoned for that purpose. Agreed.
IMPEACHMENT OF WARREN HASTINGS, ESQ.
The order of the day being read, for the receiving and considering of the report of the committee on the charges exhibited by the Commons against Warren Hastings, Esq.
The clerk first proceeded through the respective charges, as divided into articles, and then read the report of the committee on the said articles, which was—
"That the Commons of Great-Britain had not made good the charges exhibited against Warren Hastings, Esq."
Lord Walsingham said, that, from the peculiar situation in which he was placed as chairman of the committee, he had not an earlier opportunity of delivering his sentiments upon the subject
of those charges of impeachment. He was now at liberty, and free to declare that, from every attention he could pay to the subject, the charges were not made good by the Commons. The leading article of the Benares charge; the extorting from the Rajah Cheyt Sing a sum of money to the amount of five lacks of rupees; the negotiations with the Vizier for the sale of the Rajah's possessions, and the expulsion of him from his dominions, were acts which were exaggerated and not proved. On the contract charges, whatever opinion he might hold, he was inclined, when he considered the arduous and critical situation of Mr. Hastings in each, to make considerable allowances. A different opinion had divided the two great law authorities on this occasion, and for that reason, as a plain judging man, he would fall in with the most favourable. The noble Earl recounted the other articles, and remarked upon the tendency of each. The general views of Mr. Hastings, throughout his whole government, were, he contended, prudent and good. To him we were indebted for the possessions of the East, and whatever sums of money had been imputed as unjustly acquired, it had not been proved that they were perverted to selfish or dishonorable purposes. They were monies paid into the Company's treasuries, for the purpose of strengthening and supporting a government convulsed and precarious. It was then to his merits, to his general good government and policy, that we were indebted for the establishment of our commerce in India. His general good character as a man, called upon him, he said, for every commendation he could bestow, and resting upon this, he hoped for the concurrence of the House in the opinion of the committee.
The Lord Chancellor said, that he had but to observe, in this state of the business, that no opinion given by any Noble Lord would prevent him from giving a contrary opinion when he went into Westminster Hall. He, however, would say, that he thought the most proper mode would be for the report to lie upon the table.
After a few observations from Lord Thurlow, Lord Caernarvon, and Lord Lauderdale, the question was called for, on which the House divided, when there appeared, for receiving the report,
Contents, 14 Non-Contents, 6 Majority for the report, — 8
ROYAL NUPTIALS.
Earl Mansfield called the attention of the House to the Nuptials of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. On this event he had, he said, to congratulate their Lordships, because it was an event in which the nation had participated. His Royal Highness had determined, no less from reason and choice than from the bright example which his illustrious family had held up to him, of connubial and domestic felicity. He had wisely then determined upon that situation, in which true happiness is to be found; in which all the passions and amiable affections are engaged, and set upon the side of good. From this happy state of connubial bliss the greatest comforts and consolations of our being are derived; it enhances its joys, and divides its sorrows; it pervades the palace and the cottage alike, and diffuses a balm through the ills and languor of life. It was then with a pure and tranquil pleasure, that he would move upon this event the following address to his Majesty. His Lordship then moved an address, which was the same in substance with that moved in the Commons, which was agreed to nem. con.
His Lordship then moved addresses to her Majesty and to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, on the joyful event, which were agreed to unanimously. Adjourned.
In the course of the debates concerning the Terrorists, Merlin, of Doyay, stated, that, in order to excite and foment domestic broils and commotions in France, England had sent thither, by way of Switzerland, forty thousand crowns. Merlin was much surprised to hear, that he, who is suspected of a strong partiality for money, was charged with having received five thousand of them. Yet all such charges, and the gross insults, which the honorable deputies often pass on one another, produce no farther consequences, either because they are without foundation, or that these grave legislators differ only from each other by a greater or less degree of guilt. [Times.]
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at Mr. Pitt's house; from whence the Ministers went to Court. Mr. Pitt is still confined with the gout.
Sir Frederick Eden, whom we mentioned some time since to be going with a Cartel to Brest, to settle an exchange of prisoners, sailed for that port about
three weeks since, and arrived there after a short passage. It was not intended he should proceed further than to Brest; but the Executive Government desired he should go to Paris, where Sir Frederick Eden now is.
No instance, perhaps, ever occurred of the pecuniary resources of any country, to be compared with the extraordinary sum lately paid into the Bank of England in one week, on the LOAN of this year; as it is a fact, universally admitted, that upwards of Eight Millions have been paid up and funded, in place of waiting to pay that immense sum by instalments, agreeable to the terms of the Loan. And when it is considered, that there were very extensive sales at the India House, and the new duties on the wines, all to be provided for at the same time, it is not to be wondered at, that there should be such a particular scarcity of money as is generally felt and complained of in the mercantile circle.
Letters from Leghorn state, that intelligence having been received in Corsica of the sailing of the Toulon fleet, all the French Emigrants, residing there, embarked for Leghorn, that they might not fall into the hands of the Carmagnols. Arrived in that harbor, they were informed by the Tuscan government, that as a peace had lately been concluded with the National Convention, and, of course, that the Grand Duke wished not to disoblige that Assembly, they could not be allowed to come on shore. Upon this intimation, the National Commissioner, residing in that port, interested himself in their favor, and not only obtained leave for them to disembark, but also received them in a very friendly manner, and gave to a great number of them passports to return to France.
We learn by several letters from Madrid, received by the last Coruna mail, that the conclusion of a general peace, at least between all the Continental Powers and France, was supposed there to be near at hand; but that at the same time, the most vigorous preparations were making for the ensuing campaign, and that all was quiet on the frontiers of France, except in Biscay, where some affairs of posts had taken place in favor of the Spaniards. At Madrid, some Guardes-du-Corps & some Monks have lately been taken into custody, whose conduct had become suspicious.
Fronon owns in his Journal, that at Paris people are heard "loudly regretting the ancient regimen" the tranquility which they then enjoyed, and the plenty which reigned every where;" and adds the following remarkable observation: "Under the reign of Kings, such commotions, as we now witness, did never happen, because there existed then a fealed Government ; but in our present situation, it is easy to stir up the people, because there does not exist one single vigorous spring of Administration, because the present state of the nation is doubtful, weak and wavering, and the Resolution of the 9th Thermidor, dragged slowly along, and often stopped in its course, suffers a great many abuses and acts of tyranny and injustice of the reign of Robespierre still to subsist.
Sir Sydney Smith, in the Diamond, who sailed from the Downs on Tuesday, is immediately to go upon the secret Expedition so long spoken of; he has with him seven of the largest Gun-boats ever built.
The Secretary at War having sent a message to the Lord Mayor, on Monday evening, that he had ordered a detachment of the Guards to attend at Newgate, in order to escort the convicts on board the transport ship bound for Botany bay, his lordship waited upon Mr. Windham, on Tuesday morning, and informed him, that he had himself provided a sufficient civil force to escort the said convicts.
A letter from Stockholm of the 24th ult. states, that on the 20th arrived there a French commissioner, whose name is Rival, and who styles himself Agent Public de la Republique Francaise —Public agent of the French Republic.
Citizen Orfeuille, a player, who was president of the revolutionary tribunal at Lyons, when Collot d'Herbois ordered thousands of unfortunate victims in that town to be slaughtered with grape-shot, has been lately arrested and imprisoned there, by order of the representatives of the people.
Lord Camden has already made his tutor an Irish Bishop. Mr. Powys will take his seat on the meeting of Parliament for the Bishopric of Killala.—This see was named by Earl Fitzwilliam for the Rev. Mr. Wruburton.
The Earl of Abingdon is indulged with the liberty of the Rules, as his health was impaired for want of exercise.
We learn by a letter from Venice, on the 19th ult. that St. Querini, a Venetian nobleman, has been appointed an ambassador of the Republic of Venice to the French Republic.
If a member of Parliament accepta

of a salary of 300l per ann. for frank- ing the letters of a banking house, is not that selling his freedom ? When such transactions as these are publicly proved in a court of justice, it is high time for the legislature to put an end to so shameful a prostitution of the privi- leges of Parliament.
On Friday last, in consequence of an order of council, a new regulation took place in the Custom House, respecting American vessels, no one being permit- ted to finally clear out until the captain makes affidavit that there are no British subjects going out passengers or other- ways, without having a regular passport from the secretary of state; also to make oath to the place of birth, and age of each of the ship's crew.
A numerous Club has been formed in Lambeth, called the Crop Club , ev- ery member of which, on his entrance, is obliged to have his head docked as close as the Duke of Bridgewater's old bay coach-horses. This assembly is instituted for the purpose of opposing, or rather evading, the tax on powdered heads.
It is with great satisfaction we under- stand, that the late severe winter has done very little injury to the winter corn. The wheat bears a promising aspect, even in the low countries; and in those where the land lies high, there is every appearance of a plentiful harvest. Buck- inghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Beck- shire, afford an aspect of autumnal abun- dance . The farmers say, that the frost took such strong hold of the ground, as to let all the temporary thaws and rains at distance, and therefore that the fled wheat felt no bad effects from the frosts.
BERNE, (Switz.) March 20.
Extracts of a letter.
A gentleman just returned from a journey through the Southern Depart- ments of France, states, that within these last three months a prodigious change has taken place in the minds of the people. The restoration of Monar- chy, and the re-establishment of the Ro- man Catholic worship in its primitive purity, is generally desired, especially in the country. There is scarce any village but divine service is publicly per- formed in its precinct, and the inhabi- tants are called to it by the ringing of a bell, at there for this purpose . But such priests alone, as have not taken the revolutionary oath, possess the confidence of the people. The divine service is not yet performed in the same public man- ner in the large towns.
The scarcity of provisions is at present very great. Bread sells for 20 fous a pound in assignats, and 8 fous in hard cash. The country is depopulated to such a degree, that in several vil- lages no other inhabitants are seen but old people, women, and children. The general cry is for peace and bread.
The Jacobins are detested every- where; a great many of them have been murdered, especially by soldiers, who, on their return from the armies, hearing that their relations and friends have ei- ther perished in jails or on the scaffold, revenge their death by assassinating their murderers.
ROTTERDAM, March 24.
Fifteen thousand more of the French troops have gone hence to join the divi- sions in the environs of Wessel.
We reckon here, in the ports and ca- nals of this town, at present, two hundred and eight merchant ships, viz. fifty-one English, laden with warlike stores and provisions, six Americans, ten Spaniards, two Swedes, one hundred and nine Hol- landers, and twenty-one building in the different docks.
All the army are going to be paid in Dutch billets. Each town will have its own; and they will not be payable in o- ther places; French assignats, of course, become no longer valuable in Holland.
LONDON, April 27.
At the Council Chamber Whitehall, the 8th of April, 1795.
PRESENT,
The Lords of his Majesty's most Hon. Privy Council.
Whereas it has been represented, that divers artificers, manufacturers, seamen, and seafaring-men, his majesty's subjects, have been induced to embark, or to en- gage to embark on board divers foreign ships or vessels, for the purpose of quit- ting this kingdom, and going into parts beyond the seas, contrary to the laws and statutes of this realm, and his majesty's proclamation of the 16th day of Februa- ry, 1793; it is thereupon ordered in coun- cil, that no foreign ship or vessel be per- mitted to sail from any port of this king- dom, until an account shall be delivered to the principal officer of such port, duly at- tested on the oath of the master or com- mander of such ship or vessel, or on his affirmation, if a Quaker, of all persons on board such ship or vessel except the crew, as reported on their arrival in this kingdom, such account specifying the names, the ages, and the trade and occupations of all such persons, and whether such persons, or any of them, are or is his majesty's sub- jects or subjects; which account shall be transmitted to the clerk of his majesty's privy council; and if any ship or vessel shall have on board any person, being his
majesty's subject, and an artificer or ma- nufacturer, or seaman or seafaring-man, going out of his majesty's dominions into parts beyond the seas, contrary to the laws and statutes of this realm, or to the said proclamation, except the crew so reported as aforesaid, such ship or vessel shall not be permitted to sail with any such person, being his majesty's subject, on board as aforesaid, till special permission shall be given for that purpose. And the right honourable the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, the lords commission- ers of the admiralty, and the lord warden of the cinque ports are to give the neces- sary directions herein as to them may re- spectively appertain.
STEPH. COTTRELL.
Custom House, London, 9th April, 1795.
Let the collector and comptroller of the customs take care, that the directi- ons contained in the order of council (of which the foregoing is a copy,) be duly obeyed by themselves, and the officers un- der their survey, so far as they are re- spectfully concerned.
By order of the Commissioners. The following Proclamation of Stofflet after the submission or capitulation of Charette, serves to prove that the former of those leaders still breathes the language of defiance against the French Convention, and evinces his determination to hold out to the very last extremity.
PROCLAMATION of the Royalists of Anjou and Haut Poitou; in Answer to the Proclamation of the Pacification of the People.
In the name of the King. The Military Council of Anjou and Haut Poitou to the Republicans.
Deluded Frenchmen, you announce to us words of peace—this is the will of our hearts; but by what right do you offer us a pardon which it is only your lot to beg? Stained with the blood of our kings, stain- ed by the murder of a million of victims, by the conflagration and devastation of our country, what are your titles to inspire us with confidence and security? Is it the punishments of Robespierre and Carrier? But indignant nature was raised against those bloody monsters! The cries of pu- blic vengeance devoted them to death—In proscribing them you did nothing more than yield to necessity. Among you, one faction supercedes another, and soon per- haps the same fate awaits that which at pre- sent reigns. Is it your pretended victo- ries? But we are not ignorant that false- hood was always presiding over your pu- blic affairs, and that, in experiencing the most severe defeats, you arrogantly as- sumed the haughty language of the con- querors of Europe, to impose on the cre- dulity of your slaves. Is it the release of our brethren who were prisoners? Was not that liberty due to them which tyran- ny only could have taken from them? And when you detain them amongst you, unarmed and defenceless, have not we cause to fear that this temporary release is an artful craftily prepared to blend us all in the same misfortunes? Alas! were we to believe them, our murdered rela- tions and friends would rise from their graves to tell us, Take care of the poison con- cealed under those appearances; it was "in proclaiming to us life and safety, we were immolated—the same fate un- doubtedly awaits you—the fashion which was then domineering is still reigning; its spirit is the same; it aims at the same end; means and agents only are changed."
If, however, your wishes are sincere— if your hearts, softened and changed, are bent towards peace, we must tell you, Re- store the Heir of your King his Sceptre and Crown; to Religion its worship and Ministers; to the Nobility its rights and estates; and the whole kingdom its an- cient and respectable Constitution, free from the abuses introduced by its unfor- tunate events—then, forgetting, all your wrongs and enormities, we may fly into your arms, and mingle with yours, our hearts, feelings, and wishes. But without the previous adoption of these measures, we despise an amnesty that crime should never have dared to offer to virtue—we despise your efforts and threats; support- ed by our brave and generous warriors, we will fight till death, and you shall reign on the tomb of the last of us.
Resolved unanimously at Maulevrier, the 28th of January, the year of grace 1795, and the third of the reign of Louis XVII.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
SITTING of the 17th GERMINAL.
APRIL 6. In the sitting of yesterday evening the Convention elected Boissy d'Anglas Presi- dent, and Lantenas, Bailleur and Saladin Secretaries.
A member demanded that the brother of Tallier, who had the badness to hide himself, at the time of the insurrection at Amiens, should be deprived of his rank of Adjutant-General, and be declared in- capable of ever serving his country again —Andre Dumont demanded the order of the day. He knew this officer, and certi- fied that he was at his post on the day of the insurrection; that he had always op- posed the principles of his brother; and had made a journey to Paris, on purpose to threaten him with denunciation if he did not submit to legal trial. The order of the day was adopted.
On the report of Garan-de-Coulon Or- gan of the Committee of Legislation, the Convention decrees, That the public functionaries accused of collusions and o- ther crimes in the exercise of their func- tions shall be judged hereafter, by the same laws, and after the same form as other ci- tizens. Those who have been condemned in consequence of judgments passed in
conformity to revolutionary laws may have a remedy against these judgments by way of appeal or cassation, within a month af- ter the publication of the present decree.
The deputies of the commune of Cler- mont Ferrand, felicitate the Convention on the energy which it displayed on the 12th Germinal, and since that epoch, and demand the disarming of the villains who have plunged France into a deluge of calamities, and the re-arming of their victims.—(Applause and insertion in the Bulletin.) Dufault made a motion of or- der, the object of which was the erection of an expiatory altar to the shades of the citizens who had been massacred by tyran- ny; on one of the sides of this altar should be engraved this description— Re- grets de la nation : and on the other— Re- mords de ses ennemis . The Convention decreed that the discourse of Dufault should be printed, and sent to the Committee of Public Instruction.
Dubois de Crance, presented, for the faction of the Convention, a list of Of- ficers—for the principal places of trust— ( promus aux grades ) the nomination of which is, by law, referred to the Convention. This list was adopted unanimously.
The President acknowledged the re- ceipt of a letter from the representative of the people Joseph Lebon, (sent to the Committee of General Safety.)
The Committee of Public Safety, by their organ Lefage, of Eure and Loire, proposed the project of a decree, tend- ing to remedy the abuses which result from the custom which the government has follow- ed for some time, of lending money to the communes to purchase provisions.
The principal of these abuses is, that the communes, persuaded that they shall never be called upon to restore the sums borrow- ed, purchase, at any rate, the provisions they are in want of, and by this means raise the price to an excessive height. The remedy proposed, was to oblige the com- munes to procure, by a forced loan, the necessary sums. There were some mur- murs against this measure; but for decid- ing on it, the Convention wished that it should be matured in silence, and decreed the printing, and an adjournment of the question for three days.
Barras made a motion of order for the abolition of the punishment of death, for all revolutionary crimes.—[The Convention decreed the printing.]
Sitting of the 18th Germinal.
17th April.
The administrators of the department of the Somme write, the 16th (5th April) Germinal—that the movements which took place on the 14th at Amiens, sealed the same day, that tranquility is perfectly re-established, and that the constituted au- thorities are occupied in inquiries after the authors of this insurrection.
Andre Dumont, the reader of this let- ter, thought it his duty to add that he was wrong the day before, in saying that the Adjutant Gen. Tallier had been at his post during the disturbance. He learnt to day, that he was a coward, and he should make it his duty to demand punishment of the Committee of Public Safety.
On the proposition of Lakannal, organ of the Committee of Public Instruction, the Convention has sanctioned the plan (tableau) of the communes in which the central schools are to be established; and had named five representatives of the peo- ple to go to the departments and secure the execution of the decrees relative to primitive and central schools.
Dupuis spoke to request a motion of or- der, the object of which he explained to be, the amelioration of the public funds. It is to the days of the 31st of May, and 1st and 2d of June, that the orator at- tributes the principal cause of the loss of our finances, and the discredit of assignats, to which the sordid operations of Cambon have done an injury scarcely to be repair- ed by the most secure economy, and the best administration. To regain confidence we must render to the people the right of choosing their magistrates, abolish the reign of terror, and put the constitution in operation.
The representative of the people, on mission in the ci-de-vant Beaufort, writes, that he has discovered a considerable quan- tity of provisions which terror had caused to be buried in the earth; that he should put them in circulation, and cause them to flow towards Paris. Applauded and ordered to be inserted in the Bulletin.
Ricord also presented himself at the tri- bune to make a motion of order, on the finances. It was a general plan. The Convention would not hear it. It has on- ly consented that Ricord may cause his work to be printed, at the expence of the Republic.
The members of the revolutionary committee of Rouen, write, the 16th of Germinal (5th April) that, since their last letter, the public tranquility has not been disturbed by the slightest accident.—The royalists conceal themselves, and the ter- rorists are incarcerated; the good citizens are all eager to evidence their love of li- berty, their attachment to the republic, and their devotedness to the national con- vention: in short, these administrators say, that they are satisfied with the public spirit of Rouen. The people disabused, denounce the agitators; and already many have been delivered over to the council, General who know how to discern the guilty.
The same letter adds, by postscript, that the Courier of Havre brings news of the entry of a ship into that port, loaded with provisions.
Tavau communicated a fact which dis- plays the means used by our enemies to disgust the French with the republican system. The English frigates have stopped French fishermen on the sea and given them very fine bread at five liards the pound; telling them at the same time, if
the French would re-establish royalty they should all have the like, and at the same price.
Tavau remarked, that in England, wheat was very scarce, and that the price of bread there is from five to six liards the pound. Insertion in the Bulletin.
A member announced that, at St. Cha- maus, in the department of Cher, there was, on the 12th of Germinal, (1st April) a disturbance, as at Paris, the pretext of which was the same; the scarcity of the means of subsistence.
UNITED STATES.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, June 16.
By the Schooner Hector, Capt. Earl, in 22 days from Martinique, we learn, that the French from Guadalupe made several attempts to land on Martinique, but were unsuccessful—that great confu- sion prevails among the inhabitants from a defect, which was expected.
Capt. Earl mentions, that strong pa- troles guarded the shore of Martinique, and that all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms were enrolled.
Capt. Earl did not hear of the arrival of the French fleet at Guadalupe.
Capt. Bowles, of the Schooner Nancy, from St. Marks, informs, that the inhabi- tants and troops at that place were quiet, and that no action of consequence had tak- en place during his stay there.
NEWBURYPORT, Thursday June 11.
COMMERCIAL.
FROM HOLLAND, Feb. 17, 1795.
Several letters from Holland of the a- bove date, inform, "that we need be un- der no apprehensions of having assignats tendered to us in any trappings with them, as the States General in Assembly, have decreed, that any person who shall receive them in pay, or assist in promoting their circulation, shall be punished with Death."
Letters further observe, that though the rigor of the season has occasioned a dol- ness in Commerce there, they flatter them- selves spring will restore it with more than former vigor and advantage. The States General employ most of their time in de- vising measures for its promotion and se- curity. Many letters dated in March, mention this information, and make it in- dubitable.
An American Captain at Havre, writes to his owner under the date of April 7— "That he cannot sell his beef for a high- er price than 10 to 12 dollars per barrel. That the part of the cargo he has sold, he is unable to get his pay for, and he cannot recover it by law, because the bargain was made for specie. That flour rice &c. are the only articles which sell high, and the high price will hardly compensate for the wretchedness of pay, which may be attributed to the continual depreciation of assignats."
From all the information we have re- ceived, we may fairly conclude that the ex- istence of the assignats in France, is near- ly at an end.
Brig Isabella and Ann, Hampton, St. Kitts
An American brig is arrived at Salem, from Bayone, which brings accounts to the 9th of May.
PORTSMOUTH, June 9.
On Sunday last arrived here the brig George, Capt. Joseph Noble, in 35 days from Demarara, which island was taken possession of by the French two days pre- vious to his leaving it—and it was in fu- ture to be equally governed by the Dutch and French.
SALEM, June 9.
Capt. Wallace, who arrived at Beverly on Sunday from Trinity, Martinique, in- forms, that the day before he failed, about 60 wounded soldiers from St. Lucia were landed. The action in which they were wounded was, he thinks, on the 27th A- pril, upon a plain, and lasted four hours and an half, in which time it was said the Republicans used nothing but their bayo- nets. He could not obtain the particulars, as they were said not to have arrived when he failed, and people were cautious of say- ing any thing of it. Capt. W. dined with an English surgeon, who informed him, that from 20 to 40 of the soldiers newly arrived were added to the sick list daily— they were all removed to the North-West part of the Island as soon as they were ta- ken sick, as that was conceived to be most healthy. A small insurrection had taken place at Dominico but had been easily quelled, and 4 or 5 of the ringleaders, who were English Planters, were execut- ed. From the best information he could obtain, the number of troops that had ar- rived at the windward islands from Europe which at first were called 10,000 were not really more than 3500. Just before he failed an English brig of 16 guns had been cut out from St. Pierre's by a French 10 gun privateer, within gun shot of the Ad- miral's flag.
BOSTON, June 11.
HUMANE SOCIETY.
On Tuesday this society held their anniversary meeting. A very elegant and appropriate discourse was pronoun- ced before them, at the Rev. Dr. Thacher's meeting house, by the hon. John Brooks, after which a pathetic ode was sung in a masterly style by Mr. Rea, ac- companied by a full choir. A collection was made, to further the benevo- lent purposes of the institution. We wish our limits would admit of being more particular.
MIDDLETOWN, June 13.
"On Saturday last, a child aged five years and nine months, son of Mr. Cle-
ment Folsick, at the head of Niantic river, fell into a well, head foremost, 28 feet to the surface of the water; and plunged nine feet further to the bottom. He then turned, and climbing up the side of the well, held himself above the water till relieved; and miraculously re- ceived no injury."
PHILADELPHIA, June 17.
This day was assigned for the execu- tion of Fogel and Mitchel the two per- sons under sentence for Treason, but, a respite from the Supreme Executive of the United States has suspended the sentence till November next.
Capt. Webb, of the ship Washington of Salem, from Bengal, informs that the ship Arethusa, Capt. Swain, of do. had failed from Bengal for Philadelphia, about a month before him—Capt. Webb failed in company with the ship Three Brothers, Capt. Brown, for Philadelphia—the ships America, Babcock, and Enterprise, Hub- bard, which were captured by Commo- dore Mitchell's squadron in the Straights of Sunda, were sent into Bengal, where the Captains had received damages for one of the ships before Captain Webb failed, both of which were bound for Europe shortly after. Arrived at Bengal from London, the ship Sarah, of Newburyport, Capt. Jackson.
The Grand Jury of Beaufort district, South Carolina, have presented as a grievance, the assemblage of large bodies of negroes, under pretence of preaching and praying, and recommend a fine u- pon those who permit them on their plantations—they also express their ap- probation of the strenuous and patriotic exertions of the president to preserve peace and obtain indemnification for los- ses of American property.
His Excellency JOHN JAY left town this morning, on his return to New- York.
Says a CORRESPONDENT, The abolition of the Office of French Printer, with its various emoluments, will probably succeed the late change of affairs in France. The prospect of such a catastrophe, has no doubt occasioned the denunciation in a certain Gazette, of the characters, principles, and designs of the present governing power in France. Who- ever may go on the occasion, the pub- lic will have reason to rejoice.
In the ship Factor, Capt. Bowen, from London, came passengers
Mr. Dewhurst, and Lady; Mr. Harrison; Mr. Hamilton, and Lady; Mrs. North; Mr. Nelson; Mr. Mills, and two Ladies; Mr. Scully; Mr. Wright, and Mr. Watkinson.
The TIMES, a London paper, of April 10th, contains the following ad- vertisement:
"This day is published, in 2 vols. 8 vo. price 12s. boards,"
"OFFICIAL LETTERS from General WASHINGTON to the AMERICAN CON- GRESS; written during the war between the Colonies and Great-Britain, and co- pied, by special permission, from the original papers preserved in the Secreta- ry of State's office, in Philadelphia."

CANAL LOTTERY.
TICKETS in the above Lottery, function- ed by a law of this State, and in every other Lottery extant here, authorised by the constitution of the United States, are selling fast at this office, where grand policies, and every other species of insurance on this Lot- tery, is legally transacted.
The proprietors of this office solicit a con- tinuance of that preference they have so de- cidedly experienced, which it will at all times be their study to merit by fair, open, and candid dealing. They have no doubt the discerning public, will trace in the 10-Noble caution of an envious competitor, the dog in the manger and that they will treat him as we mean to do with contempt. The public will decide justly, between fair dealing and malignant aspersion, and fix the Judas appella- tion where it ought to rest; as a competitor we were willing to let him pass with uncle Toby's Consolation "that the world was wide," and there was room enough for him and us, but as an envious snarler, we we consign him to the same punishment, we would the animal he so justly represents! And we have no doubt the generous atten- tion we do experience will every day increase his malady.
It is needs to say more, to direct the public eye, "a puddle will soon discover itself by its obnoxious vapours." As our propositions are published, we expect the public will view them and judge for them- selves.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review, April 1795, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity. Of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- ticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and af- fecting; the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whichever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which to noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of being this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dilute the dregs of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
