All the build ings which graced our quays, from the Gate of St. Clair to that of Peyrothe on the Rhone, and from the Gate of Serin to the Place of Bellecour on the Saon«, are doomed to deflruftion. The magnifi ciont Place de Bellecour is already a heap of ruins. All the houses in the interior of the town, of a splendid or genteel ap pearance, are to (hare the fame fate, viz. that ofTolozon,ai the Pietre; of Parent, <it the Herbiere ; of Piron, in the New ftreet,&c. &c. " All the inhabitants, even women, are compelled to work at those demolitions. A number of young people m : j< among the demolifhers, in order to avoid all suspicion against "their Sans Culottifm ; and above 100 young men have enlisted in the regiment of huflars who are marching againll Toulon, to escape from the guillotine. " Famine begins to be severely /tit ; pro visions of all kinds are extremely scarce. The farmers have sown as much corn as poflible, that it may not be taken from them at the rate of the maximum. All the markets are empty, and the Commifiioncrs sent by the Convention to buy up corn in the country have run the greatest dangers at Tournes. " The other neighboring towns bear the fame desolated afpeft. The Department is moved from Feurs, in the diftridt of Mont brifon, to Boen. Several distinguished citi zens of Montorifon have been executed, and much fear is entertained on account of Meflrs.

" Thlre are scarce to be found in the whole town of Lyons fix persons who bear the appearance of a Bourgeois. All are im prisoned, and even the charitable Nuns, who took a particular care of the sick and wound ed Republicans, are not excepted from the general doom. The refpe&able M. dc Meaux, ci denmnt Lieutenant General of Montorifon, after having obtained his liberty at Lyons, has again been thrown in prison in his own country, M. de St. Hilaire pines in the dun peon of Ambert; Bryeres, the Counts of Bryonfe and Marity, wi'h four Clergymen, are also confined 5 M.

" The whole country groans under the curse of revolutionary search warrants, by means of which the honfes are plundered, and ail property destroyed. The spoils are tarried off into Auvergne." UNITED STATES. PORTSMOUTH-, [N. H.] April 30. On Monday lad arrived here, the fchr. Industry, Samuel Lanphear, in 25 days from New-Providence—Capt. Lanphear informs, that there had not been one A meriean reffel condemned at that place.— Left there Captain Billings, in a schooner belonging to Bolton, who was to fail in a few days.—Captain Higby, in a schooner belonging to New-York, Capt. Grafton i" a schooner from Salem, and Captain- Sturges in a schooner from Bolton, failed from Port pais the 9th March for home. The schooner Patty from Boflon, was carried into Port Paix by a French priva teer, who took her cargo, and was to give them a generous price therefor, with out detaining her a moment longer than they could unload and receive their pay. Capt. Lanphear saw a Capt. of a ves sel, who left Cape Francois in March, who informed him that Flour was actually Four Joes a barrel when he left there. PHILADELPHIA, MAY 15. It has ever been admitted that owing to the ignorance and avarice of some of the AVeft-India Judg s, condemnations of Ame rican vefitis have taken place on the infiruc tior.s of the 6th November ; and, in a few instances after the arrival of the counter inflru&ions of the Bth January, in one of the islands: But they had been of vellels taken and libelled under the firft mftniflions. All this has been admitted—and more than this is not true. There is a letter in town, dated, Paris, March 12, which fays that that City and the Armies have bread enough to fubftft on until next harvest. The capital expe riences a scarcity bf rfleat, which is not surprising, considering, that a great por tion of that article forthe supply of Pa ris was formerly raised in that part of the Republic now called La Vendee, which has been totally laid wa.'ke to facilitate the extirmination of the royahlls. By this Day's Mail. ExtraS of a letter frrm Newport, received per the Packet Aurora,, Captain Jafcn Cahoon 'y dated May 10. " 011 Thursday lall arrived here, from St. Lncii, the Britilh floopof war, called the Nautilus, Captain Baynton, with the governor of the island and his suite, who had capitulated to be landed in Ame- rica. Early in the day it was rumoured, that a number of imprefled American sea men were on board, and detained there against their inclinations. The inhabit ants, after ascertaining the fa£l, were much eScalprrated, and very earnest that some immediate measures might be taken for their release. Fortunately the legifiature of the (late were in feflion, in this town ; on representation of the circumstance to them, the fheriff was directed to request the Captain and Lieutenant (thenon shore) together with the Consul, to wait on the legifiature. In the interim, the supreme judiciary of the state were convened, and a commit tee of the honfe appointed to wait on the gentlemen as they approached the flate houfe, to inform them of the business for which their company was requested ; with a view that fbme conciliatory steps might be taken at an early period to prevent any disagreeable consequences: On the com mittee's representation, Capt. B. with the most supercilious air (the true chara&erif tic of the British nation) turned ofF and very laconically observed," he knew of no Americans on board his {hip, neither should he take any measures in the business," on which the committee begged leave to in troduce him to the court, who were autho rized to make due enquiry into the fads. The Captain, with the importance of a Mogul of the east, treated the court with the utmoll contempt; they, on the con trary, with the greatest coolness, endea vored to reason with him, and proposed that a committee from the town fliould accompany the consul on board the ship, and examine the crew ; and if any Amc- - ricans should be found on board, that they might be released ; he, in the most pe remptory manner, refufed, observing, 'that it was beneath the dignity of his Britan nic majesty's ship to be searched. After being detained some time, they attempted an escape, and made their way from the council chamber to the foot of the flairs ; but the vigilance of the citi zens soon convinced them it was moll ad vifeable to return. On finding that the court and legislature were determined they (hould be detained till the Americans, if any on board, were released, he, with re luctance, consented to the measure. Ac cordingly, a committee of five True Re publicans, accompanied the Britilh con lul on board the Nautilus; and, after a thorough investigation, found fix Ameri can seamen, anxious to be restored to their country. Another difficulty arose refpe&ing their wages, which the Capt. refufed to pay, except fcjr a pay order; finally, the consul agreed to accept the order for the balan ces which were due Thus the business, commencing at 4 o'clock P. M. was con cluded with honor to the legislature, at half part one in the morning, they hav ing, with true republican firmnefs and una nimity, adhered to their resolution of de taining the two officers until the seamen fliould be released and paid. Some of our ariftocratical gentry may fay, ' that the legislative interference was unwatrantable but the particular emer gency required it, and would, on every principle, juftify it ; and many do not he sitate to afiart, ' that their release would not have been effected, had not the legifla turebeen in feflion.' / The Capt, has since kept on board the (liip, and given out, ' that a reprefi-ntation of the insult fliould be made to the British minister!'
