Sit Edward, it is known, before his appointment as Commander in Chief upon the India Ration, had little -money and many debts. He obtained that appointment by the friendship of the Earl of, Sandwich. * Upon his return, afwr many suitable teflimonies of refpeft, he seized one moment of cordiality to extort from the Ea:l a promise, that, whatever lie 1 might next aflV ''- citizens are divided into two clafTes—cuhivators and :ft. soldiers. On the 20th Nivofe, and the ift Pluvi of ofe, there were two battles. In the fifll the Enghfh all abandoned their artillery and magazinjs ; she fe ary cond terminated with the complete defeat of the he English. , ur- Carnot, it appears, was the member of the Di ca- rectory who disclosed the greatest energy under the re . cent ctrcumftances. He is therefore attacked at with the utmost fury by the Jacobins.
