Citizen Islaatvautr for a few days to Arnfierdam,
in order to cor.cert meafures with the Municiphli-
ty, whole influence over the public opinion in the

The army of the Rhine, the Gallo-Batavian
army, the army of the Grifons, and the army of
Italy, are all marching back to France.

The Grand Seignoe is Caid to have.again made
a tender of pardon,to PAS MAO 00t00 ; but the
latter refuted, repeating the well-known laying,
tt When I drew my fword againff my Sovereign,

Aram I.—The lquadrun of Admiral WARRIII,
which had entered Melton, after having been
chaced by Rear Admiral Gartteaau ma, has taken
the advantage of the entrance of our fleet into
Toulon again to put to.fea. He appeared off the
Gulph of-Naples on the 16th March, with four
(hips of war and two frigates. The fqnadron lay-
to the whole of the 17th. The Engli(h had fre-
quent communications with the city. It is even
confidently (fated that they took on board bifeuit
baked at Callillainere;' On the evening of the 17th
the fquadron difappeared.
It appears certain that, in fpite of thparmiftice,
the communications between Malta and Sicily are
very frequent, and every thing flews that M. Ac-
row dces not ezecete the treaty with good faith.
It is known that this Minifler' who has all his for-
esaw in England, is not very fincerely attached tO
Naplest when he than have conftanmated the ruin
of his country, he will embark in the Engin fleet,
and will find himfelf in Louden one of the rich&
lubjefts• in Europe.
It was reported at Naples on the esti Ventofe,
that the Englillt bad failed from Mani on the sad
of February ; that on the ill of March they arrived
before Aboukir, where they can anchor, waiting
for the army of the Grand Vizier; that they had
not dared to difembark, but that they were at-
tempting to renew the correfpondence which they
had f"ormerly kept up with the army.
It is 'Amite nateJ that the Englint had got
poilisfflon of the insult! of Zante, where they found
ire Ruffian hips, and tint they behaved with
great violence to all •he Ruffians whom they Met.
The Army of Obf:rvation of the South on the
aohof March was at Turin, where General MoILAT
had his head-quarters. The arminice has erpired.
Citizen Atosihßas, Plenipotentiary of the,French
Goveinmcnt, is arrived at bead-quarters, and has

Several private difpatches from Holland and
Weftphalia Rate, that Hanover and Hamburgh
have been occupied by the PruCtian troops.
Arnie 3.—The Foreign journals are filled with
complaints that the money rifing out of the contri•
butions inipofed upon Germany, had been fent
into France, in order to pay the army of the Rhine
on their return into the French territory. Thefe
complaints are wholly without foundation ; Ger-
many in general did not (lifer much from the con-
tributions ; and the afertion of thefe journalifts is
betides ungwinided. For the army of the Rhine
is in arrears feven or eight months. Thefe arrears
are to be paid off in France out of the funds railed
for the year 9; and the DireElor of the Public
Treafury has already taken meafures in conic-
quence.—Moniteur.
The young Prince ADOLPHUs, who was at Ber-
lin, has precipitately left that city and proceeded
to Hamburgh, from whence he intends to take his
paffage for England.
By private letters received at Nantz, we are in-
formed, that the Senate of the Unitcd States has
confirmed the ratification of the Treaty with
France, without any reftriaive condition.
ThAuflian Minifter, difpatched by the Em-
peror Pauc to the King of NAPLES, is arrived at
Palermo. It is Rated, that he was to proceed to
Florence, for the purpofe of affitling at the Con-
grefs which is to adjult the terms of Peace between
France and Naples.
APRIL 4—All the avenues to the Palace of the
Tribunate are Phut up, as a new hall is conftruding
for that Affembly.
The houfes of Comity, BAUDOUIN, and BROOM,
are to be pulled down, in order to give to the Ca-
ressed a regular appearance, and to afford a full
view of the Confular Palace. _ _

The Tier, Confolidi were yellerday at c6f. 13c.
Yellerday the promenade of Longchamp was
doled for the feafon. The days on which it was
open proved to Paris a real fource of fellivity and
attraftive magnificence. There, all the riches of
luxury were difplayed, all the fafcinations of beau-
ty, and the elegance of talk exhibited. Numer-
ous crowds conllantly attended it, and the effed
of this charming fcene was very much heightened
by the fplendour of the carriages, and the variety
of objets which compofed the cavalcades.
A report prevailed that Portugal had made her
peace with Spain.
It is reported that the Englifh fleet, under Sir
HYDE PARKER, have palled the Sound ; that it
has prefented itfelf before Copenhagen, and threat-
ened tobombard that city, and burn the (hips in
the port, if the Court of Denmark does not inflant-
ly to a formal renunciation of the Northern
Coalition.
The Prefea of the Gironde has fuppreffed the
Bourdeaux Newfpaper called la Speaatter, for
having, in the fir d place, Rated the /4; val prepa-
rations in the port of Rochfort, and the names of
the (tips which lately anchored there, coming
from the file d'Aix ; and, fecondly, for having
given currency to an atrocious falfehood, relative
to the fuppofed murder of a young female, near
Blaye, by her lover.
Ten men and fix women are now before the
Criminal Tribunal (thole people, it is known,
were implicated in the late attempt to murder the
PHI Conful). Silty-two witnelfes have been fob-
peened on the occafton ; and, though the Court
has been fitting fine IVednefday laft, only one
has been examined, namely, Lambe', who fold
the horfe and the cart, on which the infernal ma-
chine was placed.
A general difcuffion took place on the depo.
fition of this individual : the prifonen were inter.
rogated, and the whole tenor of their anfwers went
to deny the fat& itfelf, though feveral of them con.
feted the truth of many collateral circumtlances,
which tended, in a grcat meafure, to fubdantiate
their criminality. Carbon, for inftance, owned
that he purchafed the horfe and cart, but denied
that he had been in the Rue St. Nicaife ; and de-
clared that he had no evil intentions in purchafing
the horfe and cart. Saint-Regent declared he did
not let fire to the machine, and that it was by
chance he was in the Rue de Malte, where he was
wounded through the effeet of the explofion.—
Sevetal of the prifoners Rand stecufed of having
teemed Saint-Regent and Carbon.
