year so, (April 9.)
Citizen Miniller.—l have juft arrived at the
Cape, in order that I may fuperintend, in perfon,
the re-building of the town. The Zele and Tour.
vale have jail arrived. Some. recruits were em-
barked at Breft without fukea, ishith was an. ef-
fential fault, becaufe it diminilhes to much the
more our Magazines. The three. packets which,
by a decree of Government, were to fet out each
month, do not fet out regularly. We ought to
receive a packet every week, in order that the fol-
diers may hear from their families. I have- not
yet (ten the Spanifh part. I intend to repair
to Saint Domingo. I (hall return and fpend two
months at the Cape.
Carpenters, cabinet-makers, and mafons would
be very ufeful in this country, where there is fo
much to be built. You have•fo many in France,
that they can (candy gain a livelihood : they will
be paid here in gold, andwith a little condult may
begin a fmaU fortnne. The rainy feafon is about
to commence.—l mall canton the army iii the
moll commodious manner, in order that they may
Puffer as little as potGble from the bad feafon.—
The army happily arrived in the good feafon, and
have already had time to be accuflomed to the
climate. Health and refped. (Signed) Laczrac.
BUST, MAY. vb.—The frigate la Fiddle has
jolt entered the harbour, after a paffage of 44
days from St. Domingo, and has brought over
Citizen Lzczzac, brother of the General, with
difpatches for Government. The (hips of the
Republic, le Pelage), and le Conquerant, of 74
guns, will-fail to-morrow, if the wind is favour.
able. The former went out yefterday, but was
forced to return, the wind being contrary : thefe
velTels, it is fuppofed, are dellined for St. Do.
mingo.

BASLt,MAY 18.—TheAffemblyof Notables held
a Sitting on the tgth, to hear read a mellige
from the Petty Council, inviting them to communi-
cate their ideas on the Rate of the Finances of the
Republic. The Affembly named a Commiffion
of Seven Members, to collea the opinions of the
Notables on this objea, and to communicate them
in a Report to the Affembly. The Commifficm is
compofed of Citizens Fsostzv, of Fribourg;
STORAR, of Schaffhanfen ; Emote, of Zurich ;
Syria, of Argovia ; Rost., of Soleure ; WILLARD,
of Bafle ; and PFANDICA, of Berne.

Tranquillity is not yet entirely rellored in the
Canton of Underwald. It appears that the parti-
fans of the ancient order of thing: had formed in
combination a project for feparating themfelves
from the Helvetic Republic. All the Municipali-
ties, agreeably to this projea, weit to be dif.
mitred ; they have been fo, however, only in Pomp
communes, and have been replaced by the ancient
councils of the church, who at the fame time dif-
charge the (nations of General Councils. At
Kerns the Council of the Church began its opera.
tions, by dellroying the Arms of the Helvetic Re-
public and fubllituting for them thole of the Can-
ton of Underwald. Several companies of French
(oldies.: have been difpatched to that. Canton, to
maintain public order.

AU the friends of good order, expe& that the
chiefs of the infurreaion in the Pays de Vaud will
be arreßed, and there is no doubt, that the cantons
in a Rate of infurreaion will be fpeedily difarmed.
For this purpofe, the troops have been diftributed
in fuch a manner, that all farther refiflance will
be in vain. But while Leman is rellored to peace,
the canton of Fribourg begins to excite Tome un.
rafinefs: the Curd of Morlens has been affaulted
in his honk, by about twenty armed peafants, and
forced to deliver up all the papers that concern the
colleaing of tithes and taxes, which he had in his
poniffion. He had even nearly fallen a viaim to
this attack, in confequence of the refinance he
made to the rebels. Meafures have, however, been
taken to prevent the public tranquillity from be-
ing again interrupted in this canton.
FLORIIICE, MAY 3.—The minds of all claffes
of citizens are Rill in a Rate of fermentation on
account of the edia of our Sovereign, which
abolifhes the wife and politic laws of the late Lao-
rota, refpeaiag the pretenfions of the Ecelefiaftics.
The names of the perfons who, as we are allured,
took advantage of the frequent fits of epilepfy
with which his Majeßy is attacked, to make him
kgn an as fo contrary to received opinions and
the tranquillity of the State, are publicly men-
tioned. It is afTerted that when the foreign Mai.
ken and Con (lit u te d Authoritiesremonnrated with
him on the dangerous confiquences of his laft edia,
his Majelly replied that he would sot °He biota'
to damnation to the Welt !
Notwithaanding all there reports refpefting the
Rate of the King's health, it is certain that his
Maielll and his 'Luria Confort live in the greaten
fecnrity at Poggio-Cajano. They mole them.

Hastanton, May 13..—The trial of the Prindi
of Si Les is about to affume a more ferions turn
than was at firft expected. The Emperor, far
