Some Paris Journals to the 27th ult. have reached
town. The journal du Deka Rates, that on the
morning of the asth, at (even o'clock, Geotoss,
and eleven of his companions, were taken from
Bicetre to the Conciergerie, where their awful fen-
tence was read to them. The only requeft made
by thole unfortunate men was, that a prieß might
be permitted to attend them in their hat moments,
and this was readily granted them. GllOlOll was
particularly devout, and remained two hours with
his Confeflor. Between eleven and twelve they were
put into four carts, and conveyed to the Place de
Greve, where they were guillotined. The head of
Ger:moss fell the firft, and we underftand they all
died with the greateft firtpds; esclaiming roan nn

Saturday we received a Leyden Paper, of the 3d,
by the Hoop, lissom, arrived in the River from
Rotterdam, but it does not furnilk any idolisation
worth eztrafting. A friend at Rotterdam writes,
however. on the cover of this Paper, " The idea of
a rupture between Rae and France has &bride&
and leveret Ruffiao families in Holland and on the
Rhine, have engaged apartments at Paris, in order to
be prefent at the earning Coronation, which is to be

Saturday we received Letters and Papers from Am •
Rerdam to the ill intl. by the neutral !hip Indußry,
Witteas, arrived in the River, from which we have
made tome extrafts. Captain Wittans reports, that
the Dutch fleet in the Teed was in readinefs to put to

• By a gentleman who arrived on Friday from Rot-
terdam, which place he left on the ift ;paint, and
had lately left France, we are informed, that the
dikontent at Bonaparte's affuming the Imperial dig
nity is univerfal among all ranks, civil and military.
The v fay, that after twelve years fighting, they have
merely exchanged their lawful Sovereign for a Corfi-
can Tyrant. The forcing of Confcripts, carrying
them in carts, and marching them, tied hand to
, band, from place to place, is another fouree of dif-
gull.—They find it almoft impoffible to pay their
Leavy tales witl.out trade, which is nearly annihi-
lated. In fliort, there is a general difeontent through.
out France. The people are equally difgulted with
the immenfe multitude of fpies whio frequent every
public place, and make convocation unfafe.
The trade of Rotterdam is totally at a Rand, and
the Dutch openly esprefs their deteltation of the
French, and their regret that they did not give more
effedual &alliance to the Englifh halt war, in the at-
tempt to retcuc Holland from the tyranny of Fiance.
A private letter from the Hague, of the tit ilia.
rays, We are Rill uncertain how loon the expedi-
tion againft England will be undertaken, although
eves y thing is ready, and leveret regiments have been
embarked for more than a fortnight, on board the
d:ct in the Tcxcl. On the other hand, nearly
one hundred merchantmen, pot into requifition, or
Lima La autumn, have been reamed to trade gra-

dually, fo that the whole number of tratifpOrts ac-
tually employed, and at anchor in the Teiel, do not
amount to more than eighty. The anted veffels,
as frigates, gun-boats, and cutters, &c. have been
augmented every where on the coati, on account
of the repeated attempts of the Englifh cruifers. In
the Meufe alone, one frigate, five gun-boats, and
three cutters, are Rationed, in addition to the num-
ber employed !aft May. Of the fourteen thoufand
men at the Helder and in North Holland, eight
thoufand are embarked, the remainder are yet en-
camped, but in fuch a Rate that they may be taken
on board in a few hours. The camp near Utrecht,
under General MAILMONT, contains only 18,000
men, sootily French ; of whom ryoo men are at
Amfterdaro, tsoo at Rotterdam, and 800 at the
Hague. Several corps of French recruits or con-
fcripts, to the amount of za,ooo men, have paffed
through Holland for Hanover, within thefe laR four
weeks. The bufinds of the indemnity to the Prince
of ORANGI, for his family property in Holland, is
now fettled, and the PRINCI'II ratification is only
wanted to make it public. Betides three millions
of florins in ready money, his Serene Highnefs is to
receive two millions and a half as a private indent-
nificatioa, partly in yearly inftalments, and partly
in an annuity, which has to run for one hundred
years. It is reported that the French Government
does not approve of this arrangement, wifhing to
have it nnfettled until a association with England
for peace, that it may pay its (hare either in money
or by reftoring the Dutch Settlements lately con
quered."
