As a consolation for the opening profpctfl of another campaign, the last nieflTengcr is said to brfng aflurances of the full co-operation of the Empress of Ruflia by sea and land. To tbofe who judge of the future from the P3ft, these aiTuiances will furnifli but little consolation. The fleets of Ruflla were c«r tainlv not neceflTary to the campaign offubju gation which the Empress with so much honor to her (elf, has waged 11 Poland* and yet their efforts were direftcd only to a summer cruize in fiie Baltic.

FRANCE. National Convention, Now. 4* Barrere laid,that the committee of public wel fare was pieparing a report relative to what eofued after the sfh «»fO<sfrober near Laval, on the representatives of the people, on the gener als, and on the fulpictous patnotifm of the in habitants of that town, which was become the centre t( a new Vendee. St Just and la Bass write from the army of the Rhine, that they are busy in clearing the corps of officers of improper per ions ; that the number of patriots among them is very incon siderable; and that a previous measure of this nature would iiave sAved the lines of Weifiem bourg. They further obfefve, that they have received a trumpet from the enemy, by which they sent the f ;)lowing answer: " The French Republic receives nothing fiom its enemies; nor fends them any thing but lead bullets." Barrere read two letters from Strasbourg, from St. Ju(t arid La Uafr, requiring the Con vention to approve different resolutions which they have taken, and from which they expert the happiest effects. The iubltance of these letters is, that St. Just and La Bass have resolved. 1 That every military man who (hould be found hid in any part of that town, (hall be iuftantly shot. * That the municipality of Stralbourg (hall (upply a certain quantify ol (hoes lor the de fenders of their country, and such of the in habitants as will not aflift in this particular, {hall be considered as bad citizens, and be fi ned. 3. That a loan of two millions (hall be cal led for from the rich, to supply the wants of the poor, and to repair their fortifications. 4- That there (hall be instituted a commilfi on tor the better fupp lying the city with pro- visions. 5. That Adminiftratnrt not obeying the re quififidns made by the agents of government, fhallbe impnfoned 'till the end of the war. The Convention confirmed these resolutions. On the motion of Catnille Definouftus, the Convention decreed, " that the late law con cerning foreigners, (hall not extend to Phyfi- cians.

Barrere —Doppet is to have the chief com mand o( the army of the Eastern Pyrennees; Cartaux, that of the Alps ; Duconner with the army in Italy, is principally charged with the siege of Toulon. The nine Representatives with the Armies of the Rhine and Mo selle, are reduced to four ; tbefe two armies! are forthwith to be united to execute the com bined movement. The Commiflioners in the Department of Lower Seine,have taken excellent resolutions to supply with combustibles, the troops who have already begun the neceflary movements, for an Expedition against England : but they complain of the want of meaut of securing to themselves, supplies of provisions.
