The Revolutionary Tribunal has been previously divided into 2 fettions, for the morefpeedy difpatchof bufinefsjjt One of the feftions was to confine itfclfffolely to the trial of the deputies. On the 25th ult. in the morning, they were conveyed from the different prifom to the court of justice. The indictment igainft BrifTot was firC read by the public accufcr.

After wards were read the several indictments a gainst Verginaud Fonfrcde Dupetret La Source Carra Beouvait Gardien Duchaftel Valaze Mainville Duprat Lacaze Sillcry Lehardy Faiichet Antiboul Boileau and Diicos Vigee. Thrfe persons were then severally ques tioned relative to their profeflions. Antiboul replied, that his occupation was to defend the rights of the people, and to prosecute tyrants. The other deputies replied, that they were deputies to the national convention. The President of the revolutionary tri bunal then aflced them whether they had chosen official pleaders to defend them ? Boileau, deputy for the department of L'Yonne, declared,- that he had felefted a person to undertake his defence, but if he refufed, he would defend himfelf. Brif fot, Vergniaud, Valaze, Lafource, Sil lery, and Carre, replied, that they would defend thcmfelves. The witnefies were then callcd in and examined by the public accuser.

Accounts received from Manheim of the 4th inft. give a confirmation of the railing of the siege of Landau. After a (hort bombardment in the nightof the 3 1 ft of Oft. the Prussians on the ifl Novem ber withdrew their artillery from the bat teries, and returned to their camp, deter mined to take the town by famine only. The French are dated not only to have received reinforcements on the river Saar, but they have even made movements a gainst the cordon of Prussian troops, the latter were obliged to retreat to Pirmafents —This is said to render the pbfition of the Auftrians very precarious in exposing their right. Reports even went so far as to assert, that the Prussians hid been ob liged to evacuate the post of Pirmafents, but which is not confirmed as yet. Yesterday Capt. Cook of the Spitfire sloop, arrived at the admiralty office, with dispatches from Lord Hood, at Toulon, Vvhich place he left on the 3 ift Oft. His dispatches are dated the 30th ; but from the silence observed refpedting their con tents, we fear they are not of the moll a greeablenature. Gen. O'Hara had arrived there from Gibraltar, with a reinforcement of troops and the combined forces, composing the ganifon, amounted to ij,ooo men, who were in good health, well provided, and in good spirits. The Republican army was increasing so rapidly, that the allies in a few days expected to be in a state of siege.

By advices from Toulon to the 30th of October, we find that nothing material had taken place. On the 15th the French attacked a fort which was erecting to de stroy one of their batteries. Two hun dred of the allies were obliged to give way to superior forces after the loss of 100 men, among whom was Capt. Tor riano of the 30th. Letters from Genoa, dated October 23, mention that General Carteaux and Gar dam, continue to bombard the forts and navy of Toulon, but without success. That the French lirtperiufe of 40 guns, which was funk, had been raised ; that a 32 pounder burfl on board the Royal George, killed 16 men, wounding several others, and {battering the quarter deck. His Majesty's packet the Halifax, for Barbadoes and Jamaica; the Grantham for New-York ; and the Expedition, with one mail and government dispatches for Lifbod, were detained at Falmouth by contrary winds, when the last accounts came away. Advice has been received at the Admi ralty, that the Alligator privateer, of Jer sey, lias taken two valuable Danilh (hips, laden with military (lores f»r Brest, and sent them into that island.

A letter from Havre, dated the 2d inff. informs rs, that all the English tradesmen and merchants, who .vere taken up in that city, have been released, and their property reflored to them. The French by a late general attack on the frontiers, poffefied themselves of several polls; but by the dispatches to Administration, it appears, they have been driven from tnfm again—Mar chicnncg, Menin, Furnes, scc. are again in the pofleflion of the combined forces.

The feftion of Mucius Scsvola has adopted ?. resolution tending to diflblve the Department of Paris. The resolution wns sent to the other 47 feitions. The feftion of Arc's denounced this measure, declaring that th» department had never loft their confidence. The council of the commune suspended the resolution of the feftion of Mucius SciEvola, and appointed a committee to represent to the feftion, the impropriety of their conduct, and to oppose the meet ing which the feftion proposes to hold on the fubjeft, on the 9th inft. Taillefer, the Deputy, has been de nounced in the Jacobin Club, for having rtiarried an Aristocratic woman. The army of the Rhine is in want of cavalry. A large detachment is to be font immediately.

The General of Aitillerv, Count de Clairfavt, reports likewise, that his ports of Pont and BuiHieres, haying been at tacked on the fame day, the enemy di fefted against the latter pod a battery of eight pieces of cannon, without hav ing been able, notwithstanding their brisk fire to difiodge our picqucts. The post of Merbes k Chateau was al io attacked at the fame time ; but the prudent drfpofitions of the Colonel of the rjgiment of Wurtemberg, Count de Cout ncuiVand of Latour, fruftrated in a man ner the attempts of tlie enemy 111 those quarters:' From the London Gazette* wi-iitehall; Not. 12 By intelligence received from the Earl of Yarmouth, dated Brumbt, Austrian head-quarters, October 24, it appears, that on the morning of the 27, General Wurmfer, having received information that Hagenau had surrendered to the ad vanced corps, under Gen. Mageroes, he immediately put the bulk of his army into motion, and arrived there that night, a few hours before it had been eyacuatcd by the enemy, who had made so precipitate a retreat, as to neglect breaking down the wooden bridges over which the artille ry was to pass. That, on tbe 18th, the French encamped on the right fide o. Zorn, a small river that runs through Brumbt—but on perceiving some interval between Gen. Mageroes advanced corps, confining of about 6000 men, and the o ther columns of the army, they crofted the river, and attacked him with their whole force, in the evident expectation of turn ing his flank, and cutting him off from the reft of the army. The a£tion laded 7 hours—but upon perceiving the reft, of the Austrian army move forward, the French re-crofled the river, and evacuated the heights and town of Brumbt, of which the Auftrians took pofleflion. The loss on the part of the French, is estimated to be about 800 men, and that of the Auftri ans nearly half that number killed and wounded. That the prince of Waldeck had advanced with his corps from Sohk, and marched along the banks of the Rhine —That he had compelled the surrender of Drugenheim, and after having driven the garrifen of Fort Louis, with less, had in verted the place. That, in the conrfe of tbe night, the French had abandoned their position on the Zorn, retreated under the cannon of Stralburgh. That Gep. Wurm fer was at the diflance of nine English ! miVs from that place. la addition to the see-tints r,lrc.;.dy publiflltd, of forcing cbe lines of Wjflern bourg aud Lauterhoilrg, it appears that the Auitrirn army haoth under quarantine, and all communication with the fliore is flopped, till an order of Council arrives to rcleafe them.
