FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
MANHEIM, March 27.
Prussia is to fumifh 25,000 rhen to
England as fnbfidiary troops.
UPPER RHINE, March 29.
We are this day informed, that the
Anftrians have retaken Perl from the
French, and that they are beginning to
fortify it.
COBLENTZ, March 29.
We are now this moment informed
that the Prussian* have received or
ders to halt, probably to return to their
former position, or to go iip the Mozelle,
as the French are advancing in considera
ble force in the environs of Treves, as
well as towards Manheim, which latter
city it is said they intend to bombard.
NEUWIED, March 31.
There are every day passing on the left
bank of the Rhine corps of Prufiians, who
are retreating to Cologne. Thus it appears
if they have had counter orders they have
not been general.
BERLIN, March 22.
This morning all the regiments in garrifou
here received orders to set out for the army
of the Rhine. We are allured that the King
is about to aiTcmble an army of 50,000 men

Our letters from Fort-Berreau state, that

the fort of Mount Cenis, on the summit of
which the Piedmontefe have thrown up a
considerable number of entrenchments, as

sitions of the campaign on our fide seemed
entirely aimed to drive the fubjesfls of the
King of the Monkies from these two import
ant polls ; and with this view, r»ads have
beeu cut and redoubts railed.

LONDON, April- 5. —io.
\
The coaimana of the troops of. the
Germanic Empire has been given to ]Duke
Albert of SaxeTefchen.
Those who, since the commencement
or the French rcvolurion, have attended
to the views,the conduct, and the charac
ter of men in power; of the men who by
the dint of blood and crimes have raised
themselves from the very scum of the peo
ple to the hlgheft offices—thofe, we fay,
who have paid this attention, have fore
feen and predi&ed that these very men,
so soon as they (hould think themselves
secure in the obtainment of the supreme
authority, would enter into a mutual ri
valfhip, despising and contemning each
other, until each party (hould declare an
.open war againlt the other ; which, after
having produced the molt alflidting scenes
of misery, would impress the people with
such horror, as to bring about the re-ef
tablilhment of laws» and a legitimate au
thority.
. The firft contentions were between the
Conilitutionaliftsand Girondilts; and ter
minated by the overthrow and mafiacre
of the authors of the celebrated Consti
tution. The'Girondilts were next sub
dued by the intrigues of the Anafchifts,
and experienced in their turn thfe fate they
had themselves awarded to the Conftitu
tionaliits.
A division soon found its way among
the Anarchists of the mountain ; and Ro
berfpierre the chief of the Septemberizers,
has got rid of Hebert and the old accom
plices of his crimes.
Danton himlelf, the terrible Danton,
has jult been caught in the trap of the
di&ator, whole friendlhip he appears to
have fought, merely to (tab him in secret,
with the greater fafety. In the fall of the
Cordeliers are also implicated Defmoulins,
whom Robeifpicrre once Iheltered from
their attacks; and Phillipeaux, who had
drawn down their vengeance on him, in
consequence of having denounced the
Genet als of the revolutionary army, wh.o
were allied to them.
In die midst of all these contradidtory
fadts, it is some consolation to observe, for
the firft time since the commencement of
the revolution, the molt sanguinary party
falling a facrifice to the one that recom
mends the mare moderate rncafurea.
