( Foreign Intelligence* Continued from the London Papers received, ly Capt. Truxtox. BASLE, Jan. 24. Previous to the famous affair of Ger (lieim, the utmost discontent prevailed a mongst the armies. The Auftrians ac eufed the Pruflians of hanging back, and leaving them foremoft to the fire of the enemy. The Piuflians retorted the charge. The Saxons quarrelled with the Bavaiiaus, and the Heflians accused the Palatines of cowardice. In this state of things, the French continually harrafling them, and a dearth of liquor taking place (a gill of spirits fold for twelve sols) the Auftrians were benumbed with cold, and saw she French soldier enjoying his bottle with every comfort that the season requi red. A general discouragement and num berless desertions were the consequence. At length, the French stormed the batteries at Gerfheim, the molt formida ble that have been ever known ; three tiers of artillery, the guns placed "en \ Cremaillitrc," so as to produce a triple line of crossed fire, and the whole well manned ; but what cannot bravery do ! The line broke, the French fell upon the Combined Troops with the bayonet. For fix hours the French never ceased killing with the bayonet, without firing a fi.ot; fatigue obliged them to halt; the defer tcrg arrived in hundreds. The French, fi:ill pursuing arrived at the lines of Weiffembourg, where in ad dition to the immense capture of baggage ti:ey found all the artillery they had iolt ( at this place, together with an enormous magazine of powder, destined for the siege of Landau ; a part of the allies re- I serve artillery was also abandoned at Lau terbonrg. The Auftrians had the barba rity to place a lighted fueee to blow up the magazine, though they had left near 1500 of their wonnded in the town, and near tooo prisoners; the French arrived time enough to prevent the explosion; the Auftrians crofted the Rhine to Man nheim, and the Pruflians retreated to Worms. STOCKHOLM, Jan, 26. The trial of the confpirat.j s of Stock holm is suspended : It is thought that the arrival of Baron D'Armfeldt, who is to be conduced as a prisoner frgm Italy in to Sweden, is deemed neceflary to throw greater light upon this affair; mean while , a secret ferment prevails; the officer 011 ] guard near the Couiitcfs of Rudenfkold, who has' been transferred to the prison for Criminals, was threatened with death, on the 14th instant in the street, by some unknown persons masked, if fye we're not set at liberty in the course of four day?. In consequence, the patroles which parade Stockholm night and day have been in creased, and the guards doubled. A re ward of a thcufand dollai-s has been pro, mifed to those who fhal! give information of the individuals in masks, who threaten ed the officer. FRANKFORT, January 21. ricld Marshal Moeflendorf, appointed to the chief command of the Prufiian ar my on the resignation of the Duke of Brunfwick, arrived here last night, and immediately set out for Mentz. The French have fallen back towards the mass of their forces ; their head quar ters are at Newfladt. Worms, and irankenthal, after having been plundered of every necessary, are at length evacu ated. Colonel de Maek is arrived to regene rate the disorganized army of the unhap py Wurmfer: that object being accom phlhed, he returns to the army of Co bourg, of which he is appointed quarter master general, a pod occupied hereto fore by Prrnee Hohenlohe.

A deputation of Americans" was ad mitted to the bar, and the orator demand ed the pardon of Thomas Paine, that apostle of Liberty, and whose arrest was a species of triumph to all the tyrants on earth. His papers had been examined, and far from finding any dangerous pro poiitions, the committee had traced only the chara&ers of that burning zeal for liberty—of that eloquence of nature and philosophy—and of those principles of public morality, v which had through life procured him the hatred of despots and the love of his fellow citizens. They de manded, therefore, with confidence, that Thomas Paine ihould be restored to the fraternal embrace of his fellow-citizens, and they offered themselves sureties for his conduct during the (hort time that he Ihould remain in France. The President, after a high compliment to the American people, (aid, " You de mand from us Thomas Paine—you are an xious to re-condu6t to your own fide the afTertor of the Rights of Man—We mult applaud this geneious devotion—Thomas Paine was born in England—that was enough to fubjeft him to the decree in the firft instance, which our own iafety de manded by the revolutionary laws. The Convention will take into consideration yaur demand." January 27. Letters from Sans nom, (Marfeillcs) 19th January. The Revolutionary Tribunal of this j city is Hill actively employed, and the I heads of several conspirators fall daily.

This is the cefTa tion of hostilities which is offered you ; at ■the term of its expiration, they will grant you peace, they fay; and this peace is to be ratified by the French people. Can it be forgotten, that a faction, whose inten tion it was to destroy liberty by this means, made a similar proposal ? The French people desire peace ; but an honourable peace, a peace such as we shall be ready to sign. The tyrants offer you peacc, because they have neither money nor foldicrs. A | negotiator said lately in Switzerland/ " But suppose it was intended to talk of peace, to whom in France should fen ap plication of that kind be addressed ?" "To whom?

E very day you hear the fire-arms *ried, which near your walls are made with un exampled activity ! But it has been necessary to surmount great obstacles ; inflruments were to be made, and workmen to be taught; patri otism wanted the alliftancr of art ; atfirfl we had no more than 2J artificers able to make good muflcets, and who all came from Maiib'euge ; at present their number is lincreafed to 500.
