For this purpose she had teen supplied. with Englifn money, and 50,000 crowns by the late queen.

General was condemned on the 15 ill, and executed on the 16th. Genjr.il Launay is committed to the Abbavt. T t Tnt Ja ft return of prisoners is 3,272. For some clays great uneafinels have been felt for the town of Dol, which was menaced by the royalists.. The rumour is now confirmed, that the inhabitants of Doi have been obligled to open their gates to the rebels, after the lols of many brave republicans. It has been Itrongly rumoured r or some days putt, that an attempt was intended to be mace to rifcue the number of un haQpy persons in the different prisons. In consequence of this report, Henriot, the Commandant, yefterdny ordered the fol lowing declaration to fcrts polled up in every ftrcet: " I beseech my comrades to use their utmost vigilance round the prisons of la Force and la Conctergerie. There cxifts a very hideous plot, the consequences of which mult be extremely disadvantageous to society, if we do not prevent it. Let us watch these asylums; examiae those who enter and go out:—the gold of Ty rants paflts through every crevice, and causes more ravages than whole armies of Despots." The day before yesterday, the persons lately employed in the theatre of Montan fier, rcprefented to the council general of the commune, that by (hutting up the theatre, they were deprived of bread,that they wei'e ifu?ft of them fathers of fami lies, arid ready individually, to bring tes timony that they were good republicans, and that if the danger of setting fire to the national library was the only obje&iorf to fufiering them to perform precautions might be taken to prevent such an acci dent. They were allowed to open the theatre provifionally,under the dire&ion of a com mittee of their own body, but not to ex hibit any thing in the nature of fireworks. It was also ordered that the watchmen and firemen, in attendance at the theatre should be doubled. On the fame day, a member of the council announced, that in the house of Choubert, formerly receivcr-general of the finances, and in other houses in the sec tion of Indivifibiiity, he had found 375 marks of gold in ingots, 269 marks of silver in ingots, 621 marks of silver in plate, and 1,130,000 livres in coin,which had been all carried to the mint. The revolutionary tribunal bas acquit ted Michonis, and 8 other perfons,charg ed with having aided the late queen in a confpiracv against the republic; but proofs having appeared, that Michonis was aid ing in the conspiracy, although it could not be proved that he was wilfully and knowingly aiding, he was ordered to be detained as a fufpedled person till peace* The number of prisoners, by the last report, is 3,3 15. From Toulon, we hear, that Spanifli pride and Englilh bluntnefs, have produc ed a quarrel; that each party diftrulls the other, and both the French traitors who put them in pofleffion of the port. With vefpeft to the fafety of the repub lic, we enjoy the molt tranquil confidence —In every quarter, we have baffled both oirr external and internal enemies; inmany we have been victorious. Ourtreafury is in such a state of wealth as the world ne ver vitneffed. Our affignats are at par, and the security for them is immense. Be frd"S the gold and silver brought from e verv quarter, the national property, the property of the emigrants, the property of the civil lift, form an inexhaustible ca pital. Such a treasury, the raising of 800,000 youth for the dcfence of the frontieis, and the ardour of all Frenchmen in the common cause, ought to convince the other powers of Europe, that the French Republic cannot perilh, and that in spite of all their efforts, we will be free.

For this long time 1 have sighed alter liberty ; my heart is pure, as are my ac tions; and in my captivity I enjoyed the hap ptneis of heing conscious that I have done no thing- but for the good of my fellcw-citizen*.

A'l the favour I ask is the liberty of retiring to any part of the Republic, where 1 may enjoy, in peace, the fwictftoi liberty, in company with some friends, whoin patriotism is well known." This lettef was sent to the Committee of General Safety. Roberfpierre announced yeflerday, that Bil laud Varennes was to make a report t»-day concerning the means of giving to the Govern ment the neceflury energy. BiJlaud Itated, that hitherto the laws had re mained without vigour ; that unlets they were rigorously executed, the rising Republic would soon expire : that anarchy prevails, tharthefe evil® would increase, and despotism would rife on tha ruins of liberty. He ftatcd, that the kings, their external enemies, were a thousand times left to be feared than ftderalifm ; for the most dangerous aiiaflin is he who lives in the sams houfn. 'Jo uUain a remedy for these evils is the ob je<ft of rhis report, which the Committee of Public Safety had caused to be presented to the Convention. From tbe Paris Gazettes of \ T cvemler jg and 2©. The Se&ion cf the Armed Mm, having de sired to know what will be the Kepublican node of burying the citizens; the Council of the Commons, resolved, that a civil Conimif fioner, wearing a red tap, Hull preccde all bu rials. A Deputation of women with red caps ap peared yesterday at the bar of the Commune. "I iiis new fight in the middle of the Council of the Commons, excited violent murmurs in the I ribunes.—The president called them to order. " And T (cried Chaumette) move for the civic mention of the condu& of the Tribunes, who fliew their contempt for abominable wo men, wjjo desire to appear as men.

" Women are by nature deDined .to take care of family concerns: to be mothers; to fwDport and rear their children; Our wives (hould We at home when we are here If nature willed that women fhouldbemen, nature would have given women beards. I move that the Deputation of women be liot heard."—Adopt ed. The women immediately put their red eaps into their pockets, and withdrew, without giv ing the lead hint of the caule of their visit to the Commons. Chaumette has complained to the Munici pality, that the women of the town arc now becoming devotees ; that they continue to ho nour Jesus Chris) in the churches; and that the enemies of liberty bribe these women to ftiare in their trcafonab'e plots.

" O, Citizen Editor, could I but draw a veil over the bloody a<stion in which near aoco defender# of the Republic were cut in pieces by the Rubels!—Sound the alarm in thy Courier; coll forth all the true friends of their Country to defend Liberty ; tell them that an horde of Banditti means to throw them into chains; it will require 110 snore to revive their courage ! " The army of the Coast of Erect marched in three columns agaiuft the Rebels. A pa nic fcized one of those columns—tonfufion waj immediately seen throughout the army.

Eyche Palmer, arrived in the river from Leith, on board a revenue cutter.— Orders were fentdown for delivering them into the custody of Duncan Campbell, the contractor for thehulks at Woolwich; and on Saturday they were put 011 beard one of the Hulks.

For the G.u z 7te of the United States. A CARD. A. B's compliments to the learned Gracchus. He is thankful for the lumi nous K.ftrufhons which he has received, from so able a mailer, in the science of politics; is considerably ftjuck with the conceit refpeciing his signature ; —and hopes that he has now pregrejed far enough in the Republican Alphabet, to add C to his title, which every one knows, stands for Cunning. The address and Ikill of Gracchns in defending a bad caule, and his metaphysical niceties, with regard to the articles, " Sovereignty, Power and IVill," are extremely edifying ; they an nounce him to be err.iner.t in his profcf- Jion, and fit to be the inftruftor of tiie " ignorant." With such an excellent guide, A. B. expedls in due time, to make further improvements, and perhaps may learn modejly also ; altho' he avers, that even at present, if he has " made a boast of his wisdom and a parade of his knowledge," as Gracchus alTerts he has, it was unwittingly done. As A. B. can scarcely believe himfclf to be " a prodigy of genius," notwith standing the commendation of the er/t\iunt Gracchus, he is {till in the dark about that fame plain bnfinefs of Sovereignty. He hopes, therefore, for additional infor mation, with regard to it, if the Nation, will allow the necefiary leisure to his con descending inftru&or. He would pre sume to enquire, if it may be done with out offence to this fupercilioi:3 gentleman, whether the sovereign people having veiled certain fpecificd parts of their sovereign ty in the President, as their Representa tive with regard to foreign powers, it may not be said, that he is, in these instan ces, a sovereign for the people ; to fpenk in their name, and a& with their power." A.B.refpectfully declares,that he docs not, by this statement. mean to be pert with his sagacious instructor, nor to controvert his position, that "Legislation (in which the President also comes in for a (hare) is a portion of sovereignty, and the body which has the legislative power is the so, vercign" in that refpedfc for the people ; he only suggests, that " the Representa tive of the National power," may be ft) - led a sovereign for the people, ußiier the limitations which have been nnn-.::tcd, in the fame sense which Gracchus admit?, with refpeft to Congress, the Rcpr.Ten tative of the national will.
