ARMY OF EGYPT.
THE GEMMEL IN CHIEF MENOU TO THE CHIEF
CONSUL.
Cairo, November 30, Am.
Citizen Conftd—Since the laft letters which I
had the honour to write to you, nothing has paffed
in Egypt. Different fquadrons of the regiment
of Dromedaries have traverfed the I)efart, and
made incurfions into the boundaries of Syria:—
they have taken different convoys; among others
One of 300 camels. Each fquadron of Dromeda-
ries has two 3-pounders drawn by dromedaries.—
The works of the corps of engineers and artillery
are continued with aftit•ity. All the coall is per-
fatly armed, from Omen•Fauggio to the Tower
of Marabout, to the Well of Alexandria. The
forts that furround Cairo are armed. Aboukir
is in a Rate of defence. The fort of El-Havah,
on the canal of Alexandria, is completed :—lt
will contain the magazines, and ferve as a point
of fupport for all the movements which the army
may have occalion to make, to oppofe a debarka-
tion. I have opened a Canal of Rofetta on the
Lake Borelos. They are digging and clearing
all the Canal of Alexandria. The ancient canal,
which from the Eyront empties itself into that of
Alexandria, is re.cllablifhcd. By this means we
tan navigate lh all featons from Cairn to Alexan-
• dria without palling the Bar of Rofctta. lam
perfealy content with the inhabitants. The Fel-
. laks begin every day more and more to feel the
benefit of our protation. I requelt of you re-
wards for Mot cot) X, Colonel of the Coph-
tic Legion ; and for the Greek, NICHOLAS PAPAS
OGLou, Colonel of the Greek Legion :—they
play the greateft zeal and the greatell energy.—
The adminiftration of the finances is in the beft
rider. I boafl• of the Cervices of Citizen Esrivr.
Citizen Tat tire has departed from hence. I
have to complain of him :—his conduit has been
extremely bad ; lie has tried every means to ftir
up difecintent and excite cabals in the army. The

Adjutants-General Meant and Git.t.i-Vitox re-'
turn to France. You know their long fervices.
It is impollible for men to be more brave, and to
have rendered more benefit to their country.
(Signed) Al. J. MENOU.
The General in Chief fends a copy of the letter
which he wrote to the Shcrif of Mecca, acquaint-
ing him that he (MENOU )was appointed to the chief
command of the Army of Egypt, and expreiling
a with to renew all the treaties of friencifhip made
with him, and to allure him that his fubjetis may
come to Suez without any fear orapprehenfion. He
adds, that as a mark of his confideration for the
Shcrifs, he had diminifhed the amount of the cuf-
toms which his Cubic& were formerly obliged to
pay in that town.
By a proclamation of the General in Chief
(Mtwou), it is enaded that every caravan laden
with merchandize that enters into Egypt and
goes out of it without paying the culloms at which
they are rated, as alfo all the beafts of hurthen
they employ, (hall be confifcated to the profit of '
the troops that may feize them.
The General in Chief has alto ordered a kind
of gazette to be publithed at Cairo, that is to con-
vey over all Egypt intelligence of the different
asls of the French Government, and to relieve the
inhabitants from the anxiety into which they may
be betrayed, and to acquaint them with the public
events that take place in Europe and in Afia, &e.

THE GENERAL OF DIVISION, CHIEF OF TILE STAFF,

TO THE MINISTER AT WAR.

Head-quarter at Motuanbano, Dee. 26.
Citizen Miniiier—ln confequence of the opera-
tions, of which I had the honour of giving you an
account, the Commandzr in Chief had given his
orders, and made his difpolitions for effeaing the
patfage of the Mincio yefterday morning by break
of day, on two bridges, to be thrown over oppo-
fite Monzanbano. The right wing, commanded
by Lieutenant General DUPONT, had orders to
afcend the Mincio, leaving a corps of obfervation
before Goito, and to pretend to attempt a palfage
at Volta. Orders were alfo fent to the other divi•
lions. Geaeral DUPONT, not perceiving before
him any very confiderable force, threw over his
bridge, and fucceeded in effeaing a paffage.—
The enemy immediately bore down in force to
this point, and a very brilk aflion enfued. Our
troops Ibilained the (hock with their ufual intrepi-
dity. The enemy was repulfed and vigoroully
purfued. General DUPONT having announced
his movement to the Commander in Chief, re-
ceived orders to maintain his poiltion, but without
committing himfelf, and to retire, according to
circ um fiances, under the proteaion of his artillery,
which was placed on the right bank. During this
time the ardour of our troops carried them for-
ward, and the enemy fixing all his attention on
this point, brought up to it the greater part of his
forces (according to the report of prifoners, M.
de BELLEGARDE was there in perfon). The poll-
tion of General Do roar became critical. General
Soca sr obferving this, did not heiltate to ((such
a divifion of his troops, and to march at its head
to the fupport of the right wing. The fury of the
enemy was extreme. They were greatly fu-
perior in force ; four fucceffive charges which
they made failed againft the intrepidity of our
troops. The village of Rozzolo, which was feve-
ral times taken and retaken, remained at length
in our power, and we remained mailers of the
field cf battle, after an aaion moil bloody, moil
obftinatct and at the fame time moll unequal. The
righting kited until ten o'clock at night.
A vigorous charge of the 6th dragoons contri-
buted much to the fuccefs of this day, which pro-
duced to us in this quarter zoo° prifoners, and fe-
vers' flandards. As loon as the particular reports
(hall have reached me, I will tranfrnit to you all
the details of this affair, which does the higheft
honour to all the troops engaged, and to the Ge-
neral Officers by whom they were conduaed.—
The lofs of the enemy in killed and wounded was
very confiderable.
At the moment of my writing, Citizen Mini-
fter, I learn that the army has effeaed its paffitge
before Monzanbano. (Signed) OLIDINOT.
FROM Tilt SAME TO THE SAME._

Head-quarters at Monzanbano, Dec. of
Citizen Minifler, 1 had the honour to announce
to you this morning, that the army had effcaed
the pafilige of the Mincio. This took place moll
effectually in the courfe of the day on two bridges
thrown over before Monzanbano.
The advanced guard, under the orders of Lieu-
tenant General DP LTAAS, was the firfl to pals,
dire ting the two brigades of the right, command-
ed by Generals Sissom and CASSAGNE, towards
Vallegio, and that of the left, under General LA.
rust, to Salionze. Thefe movements were exe-
cuted with the greateft precillon, and after chafing
the enemy from all his pofttions, the advanced
guard took poll on the heights of Vallegio.
The right divifion of Lieutenant General Mow.
CEY, commanded by General Bounze, followed
and fupported the march of the advanced guard.
It overthrew the enemy, took feveral pieces of
cannon, and ellablilbed itfclf at night before the
village of Fourlano.
The centre, commanded by Lieutenant General
Svcii sr, returned from the expedltion of yefterday
before la Volta, paned the river immediately after
the divifion of BOVDFT, and marched to Salionze.
The referee, under General MICHAUD advanced
and took pelt about a mile and a half Mon-
canbano, on the road to Vallegio. The brigade
of referee, under General Sk aR AI, is polled above
the divifion of BOVDAT. The cavalry, under Ge-
neral D A VONT, is in obfervation at the head of the
bridges. General Dormer has received orders to
advance from %rank, whets be relied IA night,
on the road to Vallegio, afeenclhl the left bank
of the Mincio.

I regret, Citizen milker, that I cannot give
you more details, but the rapidity of the move-
menu, neceffarly retards the arrival of the reports;
I therefore limit myfelf at prefent to inform you,
that the pallage was attended with the culla lim-
ed's, and that all the troops engaged in the affair
have covered therafelves with glory. Too much
praife cannot be given to the bravery and aaivity

tooners Ivho eflablifhed the bridges.
The *lige was proteled by 40 pieces of ar-
tillery, placed under the diredion of Genetal MAR-
mow r, Chief of the Artillery. The refult of this
day is nearly SOOO prifoners, a quantity of artil-
lery, and the polfellion of all the enemy's redoubts
and pofitions. This prefages to us, that to-mor-
row will be a day even more glotious and more
brilliant. (Signed) Ountmor.

THR OI.IikRAI OF DIVISION, PROVISIONARY CHIEF
OF THE STAFF, TO THE MINISTER AT mum, AT

Head-quartere at Nuremberg, Due. ay.

Citizen Minifter—l am about to prefent you
with fome details concerning the battle of Nurem-
berg, which took place on the 18th of December,
and the events which have followed it, together
with the prefent pofition of the army. In eftablifh-
ing itfelf upon the Rednitt, the Gallo-Batavien
army had left sOOO men before Wurtzburg. sit
here occupied the points Afchaffenburgh, Lahr,
Geinemden, Schweinfurth, and Ritatengen. The
Rednitz is not an obftacle but when the waters are
high 1 but the heights upon its left bank are
very favourable for defence. The &sera' in Cnief
guarded this line to an extent of twelve leagues
front Nuremberg to Bamberg. Such a pofition
deferved to be fludied. The General in Chief,
afterhaving laid down the plan of operations which
he would purfue in cafe of a reverie, gave to his
Aid-dtt camp, Chef d'Efeadron, RICHER, an of&
cet of very great diftinaion, the command of a
corps of obfervation, which he marched to Midi-
back, near the line of neutrality ; he threw 400
men, with three pieces of cannon, ism Bamberg,
concentrated the reft of his forces between For-
cheim and Nuremberg, occupied Forcheim and i
Nuremberg as tetes-duptint, fixed his head-quar-
ters at Herzogen-Aurach, propofed to himfelf to I,
harafs the enemy on the left, that he might be in
readinefs to aft on the principal line of operations,
ordered the garrifon of Bamberg, if it Should be
forced, to fall back upon Eltman, Schweinfurth,
&c. and, in this cafe, he likewife determined to
abandon to the enemy the great road from Barn-
berg to the Mayn, by Clotler-Eberach, after having
taken the precaution to colleft at Kutzengen all
the boats and wails which might be on thellayn
between that city and Schweinfurth.
On the isth, the General in Chief learned that
the corps of KL!NAU had fet out on the i 3th from
Ratifbonne, in order to form a janaion with that
of SI MISCH EN, and that Ktsmatt carried along
with him the two famous partizans of theAuftrian
army, the Counts WALMODIP/ and Dem tEltf. The
General had no doubt that he would foon have to
contend with a very confiderable force. The Ge-
neral in Chief fct out immediately for Wvrtzburgh,
and not attaching to this poll more Importance
than the enemy had done, converted the attack
into a blockade, and ordered that all the troops fet
at liberty by this new difpofition, fhould repair im-
-1 mediately to the fcene of aftioin He iffued orders,
bcfides, that the evacuation and every thing which
might impede his movements Should take place in
the rear of the army. Before his departure the
General in Chief had ordered Generals Do HISMI
and Pita Lox to pafs the Rednitz, and to pufh re-
-1 connoitering parties, and to try to difcover the po-
fition and the flrength of the enemy. The General
returned on the i 7th ; he was concerting his dif-
pofitions with Generals DUHEEMIE and BAMBOO,
when a heavy cannonade was heard from Altorf
and Neukifken. The advanced guard of the di.
vifion of BARBOV, feparated into two reconnoiter-
ing parties, was marching to Altorf and Neumark,
where it was met by the advanced polls of the ene-
my, and an engagement took place. The corps
dircfted upon Altorf inconfiderately purfuing the
enemy with great (laughter, afforded time to a co-
lumn of tOOO infantry and 300 cavalry to fall upon
the corps which marched towards Neumark. This
left corps not being able to fupport itfelfagainft a
force fo fuperior, was promptly affifted by General
of Brigade Fu MLR who marched at the head of
ithe 3d battalion of? the 1 1 th light, and for fome
time refined the advantage to our men. The
Chief of Brigade WAT HI YR, who was near Al-
torf, maintained his pofition with obllinacy upon
the height of Fifchback ; the enemy every mo-
ment received reinforcements from the neighbour-
-1 hood of Neurnark, which again rendered the fitua-
tion of affairs uncertain, when General PACTHOD
received orders from General BARIUM to advance
with the reft of the corps, compofed of the gallant
49 of the 4th drapoons, and four pieces of light
artillery, to difpatal a column to the of flance of
General Fe 7 I 2 R, and to march with the other to-
wards Fifehbach, to join the chief de Brigade
WA r a ill. Thefe two movements being executed
with equal boldnefs and celerity, the enemy were
put to rout in all direftions, and left the field of
battle firmed with killed and wotinded. In at-
tempting to retreat to Fifcboach, they fell upon
the fire of a battalion of the advanced guard,
which completed their defeat. The enemy loft t 200
killed or wounded, and 300 ptifoners. Our lois
confifts of 3o killed and iBo wounded. The di-
vision of Lieutenant-General DVHESME, which
had before it the whole force affembled under Ge-
neral SIiIIISCH EN, was likewife attacked. This
General fcemed inclined to force the left of the di-
vifion. The engagement took place between the
advanced guards near Graffenberg ; that of the
enemy, notwithflanding its great fuperiority, ob-
tained no fuccefs, and General Dv it LSI.' L main-
tained his pofitions.
On the toth, the General in Chief being ac-
quainted with the firength of the enemy, iffsed or-
ders for the Army to move towards the Rednitz,
and take up its former position. Since the affair of
the t Bth, the line has been attacked upon feveral
points every day ; the enemy has every where
found an invincible refiftance. In mewing the
retrograde movement behind the Rednitz, Lieute-
nant-CA-n.1)1, a z sm r wasattackedbyM.Ss Kase is se,
who had hccn joined by fume battalions and (qua-
'drons of thecorps of Klemm. This diviGon fought
bravely the whole day, and is the evening re-
Cussed its pufitions ou the Rednitz. The Frullians

had formelly oppored the occupation of Fut° ,
which conneded our right with Nuremberg.—_
The General in Chief, not witting to interrupt tla
harmony and good underflanding which tubGu
between the two nations, ordered General BA Rao t.
to evacuate Nuremberg, and to carry ad vaccel
guard to Wach ; which was done on the evening
of December 22d. The enemy have not appeared
before Bamberg. They have kept contlantly on
ourright, which they have tried to turn, but in a
very timid manner. There are beyond the Rcd.
nitz Tome detachments who have pulped par-
ties as far as Stein. l'he Gellert' in Chief feels
little uneafinefs at thefe demontiratiens ; and al-
though Herzogen-Aurach was more a liation of
partizans than headquarters, he has not changed
becaufe, in cafe of a reverfe, And after the lice
of operations which ischad thofen, this point ha_
came the centre of bir motions ; he found himPf
in a better fituatibn to become acquainted with
thofe of the army of the Rhine. The General is
Chief had his attention conflantly turned to the
Danube{ he had no doubt that General Lsr 41-
nua, informed that KLIVAU had withdrawn the
Garrifbn from Ratilbonne, to march a,gainfl the
Gallo-Batavian army, would improve this circian-
Rance to expel the few troops who remained in it,
and get polEffion of this important polition. Our
emiffaries and re-connoitring partici had been fin
of between Rednitz and the Danube; the Gene-
ral in Chief impatiently expected the return of a
confidential officer, whom he had fent to General
LE VA VI! ; this officer arrived this morning; he
has related, that, WI the 23d, General Levasseve
marched upon Ratifhonne, but that he was not
to attack it till the 24th ; thus then there Is noldoebt
that Ratitbonne has been occupied bS the army of
the Rhine. What places the matter beyond all
doubt, is, that at three this morning, SI MEW Hlll
And KAEHAU began to retreat with 12,000 *lain-
try ; the greateff part of the cavalry had filed oft
on the right by Neumark. KLEMAU having loft
Ratifitonne' the line of the Nae cau no long ..r be
maintained by him ;be has nothing left but to
evacuate the Upper Palatinate, The General it
Chief immediately fent the fame officer to Lie ute4
nant-General Wismar, to perfuade him to make
a combined Movement upon Amberg and the Nae,
that the enemy may be driven into the defiles of
Bohemia. In the mean time the army is in purfuit
of KLEMAU and Si MIISCI4 EN& We have re-entered
Nuremberg. The army is ready to undergo freili
fatigues, to march to new battles, and to fetk an
enemy worthy of its courage. Health and refried,

P. S. General DUMONCFAU, commanding the
troops which blockade Wurtzburgh, this moment
announces, that on the 17th, the enemy made a
vigorous fortie upon his pofts, and that the firing
continued two hours and a half, .with an incredi-
ble (laughter on both fides; but the enemy sec
repulfed, and obliged to re-enter the body of the
place in diforder, with confiderable loft. The di-
vifion of Do/40WCYAIJ had in this affair five men
killed, of whom ono was a Captain, and near limy
wounded. A true copy. • Amu". statif

Citizens Confuls--11 On the tath September a
confpiracy was difcovered.—Brigades were organ-
ized and concluded by Chiefs. Different public-
houfes, but more particularly one at the corner ol
the ftreets La Loi and Louvois, ferved as rallying
points. The confpirators had their fignals and
their watch words, After having fully concerted
and propofed all their means of execution, it was
refolved that the Chief Conful fhould be facrificed ;
on his coming out from Come of the Theatres, a
tumult was to be raifcd to favour the affaffination.
Chapelle was to have given the final, and Hum-
bert was to ftrike the fatal blow with a dagger.—
Thefe two men have been arrefted, and they and
their accomplices Guibett' Dufour, Perrault, and
Sallabert, were lodged in the Temple.
" On the 3d of Odober, Metge, and Deferue, the
printer, were arrefted. In the polfelfion of the
former were found writings of the molt atrocious
tendency. The object of all of them was to call
down a deadly blow upon the head of the Firfli
Magiftrate of the Republic. Among thefe libels
fome were intituled, The Tari*The ftench soliGer
—The Democrat, &c. a glance at which is fufficient
to difcern the malignity of their intentions; nor is
it very credible that the odious authors of them
contented themfelves with writing.
On the loth of Odober, fome new projeas
were on the point of breaking out. Large fums
of money had been diftributed, and prdmtfes 11111
more ample were made. It was refolved that
BONAPARTE fhould meet the fatal blow at the
theatre of the opera. Diana, Ceracchi, &c. were or.
refted at the moment th*plot was to be executed.
Shortly after DemerviUe, Arena, Lavigney, Dar-
rey, &c. were fecured, and even the lurking-place
of Topino Lebrun was at length difcovered. The
different individuals who had been implicated in
thefe different plots, were all brought before the
Public Tribunal. Thole who were involved in
the confpiracy of the toth of Odober, are the
only perfons who have been tent before a Jury of
accufation. Metge, Humbert, Chapelle, &c.
remain in the Temple, and no indidment has yet
been made out againdthem. But very few days
had elapfed, when Crab information was received.
Certain men, who pant for nothing but anarchy.
were watched and difcovered. One of them was
employed in the confirudion of a Orange machine
—nor was it caly to fecure his perfon. Being far
from his ufital refidence, it was neceffary to difco-
ver the place which he had chofen for the execu-
tion of his black defigns. It was at length, how-
ever, difcovered that he bad concealed himfelf in
the houfe Blanes Martesux.
" On the Bth of November, a Cornmiffary of
Police, accompanied by an armed force, went
thither, went up into the Cecond floor, and knocked
at the door pointed out to them. They received
no anfwer. A lockfmith was Cent for, hut the door
was partially opened, and that with difficulty.

ICCalltiOnS had been taken to its iny
Veycer and Chevalier, who p
v.-revebtere foundopen in the
vartment. T
hefe two were taken into ctillody,
;11:1 recognized for haVing been already brought
before the Criminal Tribunal, where they had been
.irraigned and convicted, as accomplices in a con-
iMntey, the objeft of which was to cllablilh the
1;14.a' of 1793. They then efcaped, only as no cri-
minal intention was made out againft them. A
rum C
firidt fcarch and enquiry were then made,
ITim which a number of bills were found, fix car-
tridges, a parcel of maroons, and an infernal
machine, which Chevalier confeffed to belong to
th.an. In the back court there were alfo found a
01411 cart, which Veycer laid he had bought
on the preceding evening, in order to fell bundles
of tire billets. Chevalier, Veycer, Guerault,
Boidquet, Jumillard, Decreps, Desforges, and
Gombaut-Litchaife were brought before the Pre-
f t. and afterwards condueled to the Temple.
the examination which Chevalier went through,
could leave no doubt refpedling his intentions. Hc
Paid that the machine he had eolith-tidied might be
triad on board privateers; but lie did not appear
tt) be acquainted with any. He was to have fent
it to Bourdeaux, but he could not point out the per-
fon who would have received it ; and he confefres
that filch of late is his extreme poverty,- that he
could not have paid the expences of the carriage.
On the machine being brought to the office of the
Yreka, Citizen MONGE, Member of the National
Inflitute, proceeded to examine it. His report
concerning it was frightful in fome refpedts, but in
others it relieved alarm. It was calculated to
wound,and even to kill, indifcrinsinately, a number
of perfons collated together, as, for example, in
banding a veffel : but, on the fuppofition that the
framer of it was a man of fence, it did not appear
is h.ive been contrived for inflidting vengeance on
an individual, or any particularly defigned pet fon.
" In the courfe of the months Nov. and Dec.
it was difcovered that ill-minded perfons were en-
deavouring to milk:id a valuable clafs of the peo-
ple, who, intent on their labour, are not always
fulliciently informed to be enabled to refill undue
and infidious impreflions. But, fo far from the
attempt fucceeding, the people every where ex-
preffed the ftrongeft attachment and elleem for the
Government, and in particular for the perfon of
the Chief Conful. Even in leveral public-houfes,
more efpecially thofe in the out-fkirts of the town,
the well-difprifed working men received the bri-
gands with fcorn and contempt
" On the 22d and 23d Dec. two barrels, one large
and the other fmall, filled with gunpowder, were
carried to the flreet Nicaife in a cart drawn by a
mare. Scarcely had the carriage of the Chief Con-
ful palled by, when a terrible explofion took place.
The eflat of it was to throw whole families into
forrow and mourning—all Paris into conflerna-
ti.n, and to expofe France itfelf to the moll immi-
nent danger. The Chief Conful; on efcaping the
danger, gave orders to the Prefedt of Police to go
and examine the fpot. The wounded were car-
ried to the hofpitals, or conveyed to their homes.
[Here follows a lift of the dead and wounded.]
"The effect produced by the explofion was very
confidcrable. No lefs than 46 houfes were mate-
terially injured. The Police continues the moll
afire enquiries. Health and refpedt,

GEROLIAT.

VIENNA, DECEMBER 23.
" According to further accounts from his Royal
lighnefs the Archduke Joux, dated head-quar-
ters Strafftvalchen, Volkelmark, and Schwanftadt,
from the 14th to the 17th infant, the enemy con-
tinued his attacks upon our left wing, on the 14th,
eroding, the river Salza, kith three columns, in
the fame night. Though our troops maintained
their pofition on the right banks:of the Salza, his
Royal Highnefs, not to give the enemy an oppor-
tunity for cutting off the communication with the
interior of the country, found it advifable to con-
duet the army to Schwandadt, by way of Nen-
mark and Frankenmark. Near Ncumark it came

Bologna: a French piquet, Rationed near Aldoffo,
was attacked by him, on the Bth, when the men
were partly made prifoners, and partly put to the

PRIVA;TE LETTER, DATED DECEMBER 20.

The theatre of war is now in Upper
Auftria.—
Schwanftedt, where the Archduke JouN had his
head-quarters on the /7th, is fituatcd on the banks
of Traun, fouth of Linz, the capital of Upper Auf-
tria. A confiderable part of the French army di-
rerted its march between Linz and Schwanfledt.
Many of the inhabitants of Upper Aullria have
taken refuge here with their molt valuable /fleas,
and orders have been illued by our Government
for detaining molt of the veffels from Vienna as
far as Linz, to ferve for tranfporting magazines,
artillery, ammunition, &c. in cafe of neceffity.
On account of the danger apprehended from the
enemy. the lottery of Linz has been conveyed hi-
ther, and the drawing, which ()mold have been at
Linz, took place here. A letter from that city,
of the 17th, lays, All the public offices h.re arc
(hut up ; the money belonging to the State is- re-
moved, and every public Officer has received/
three months falary before-hand. It was irnpof-
fible to prevent a confiderable part of the enemy
from entering Tyrol, by way of the mountains,
who have already advanced againft Mullein. The
Corps of CONDE, which was Rationed in that quar-
ter, as well as ;he Tyrolian riflemen, are laid to
have behaved with great bravery on that oceation,
but the enemy being greatly fuperior in number,
they were at laft induced to make a fkilful retreat.
The Archduke CHARLES is laid to have esprelfed
his furprife at the bad Rate in which he found the
army. He has fent the Prince JOHN of Lichten-
Rein hither, to inform his MAJESTY of it in perfon.
That Prince had left the army on the 16th, and
arrived here on the 17th infant, when he had a
conference with the Minißers, and loon afterwards
an audience of the EH, t amt. He has brought
the further particulars of the aaion Lith took

placencai. Salzburg on the 14i ii,togetlier with frdli
ropofttis for ileac: between A uttria and Pray
which, it is laid, were made by General I`‘loit e.s U,
declaring, tliat if his pv01)01.115 fhould again be re•
jened, they would not be repeated. 'J he Prince
of ',ICI; TEN sr LIN is returned to the army, and our
prolpefts of peace are again revived. It is main-
tained even, that Count COBENTZEL had already
received intlriiiions for figning preliminaries of
peace, and that the Court of London had been in-
formed of it by a courier. A courier from Lune-
vine is arrived here, with difpatches for Lord
MINT°, the Englifh Ambaffador, and it is very
pollible that an Englifh Plenipotentiary will now
alio be received at Luneville. The Englith Mi-
nifler, Mr. WicKuAm, is arrived here.

Their MAJESTIES and the PitiNeLssrs honour
Covent-Garden Theatre with their pre'-nce on
lVetinefday evening, to fee Evtry Man in his Hamm,
and Harliquin's T.ur.
Yefterday we received the Paris Journals to the
6th inclufivc. They bring copies of two Letters'
from Ouniwor, Chief of the Staffof the Army of
Italy, with Come particulars refpefting the pail ige
of the Mincio on the 25th and 26th ult. Thefe
letters, however, are not fo late, by a few &Uri,
as the one from General BRUNE, which we pub-
lilted on Saturday; of courfe nothing is yet
known of the event of the aaion intended to be
fought on the 27th. A courier from Germany
would probably foon arrive, and flop the further
effufion of human blood in Italy.

The French funds continue to rife in Paris in
confequenee of a profpeet of peace ss ith the Era-
E ROR ; and this, though not one word is laid about
a pacification with England ! The tiers ernfolides
were, on the gth, 471, the man provifoires 371.
Nothing has yet been done at Luncville—at
lcall none of the proceedings have tranfpircd.

It is not a little curious that the French continue
to receive difpatches from Egypt with almoft as
much regularity as if they had the command of
the fea. The laft are dated the 7th ultimo, in which
NIENOU continues to give a flattering account of
his fituation.

Two Mails from Hamburgh have arrived fince
our laa publication, the principal accounts brought
by them have, how2vcr, been anticipated in the
French papers.
Sir James CRAWFORD arrived at Hamburgh on
the 27th ultimo.
