The Duke de*Crillon Mahon, Captain-Genera!
of the armies, died here lass month, at the age of
_ So. It is calculated, that he has been in- 68 dif
ferent engagements.
le It is extraordinary that th» public papers have
he not sooner announced this loss which Spain has fuf.
tained. The DuKe de Crillon, of a'l their Gene
rals, commanded the Spanim armies with ths great
est fucce£Fes in the year 17S0, againfl the English.
IE It was he who in that war took the island of Mi
norca, from England. After having served long
in France, his native coußtry, at the conclusion of
the seven years war, he pafTcd with the approbation
of "the French government into the service of Spain,
where he acquired the firft military rank. Not
having taken any part in the lad war of the Spa
niards a?ainft the French, he had a very a&ive
(hare in the peace which terminated-its-
The title of Duke of Mahon, destined to per
petuatethe remembrance of his vrftories, has pas
sed to the youngest »f his sons by a third marriage.
The two eldest sons of the Duke de Crißon, have
a title more precious in th< eyes of their country,
in were toth members of the conftitueril .afltmbly,
bothfaithfnl tothecaufe of freedom, they placed
their glotj ip the facrifices which liberty demanded
of them. Great diftin&ions awaited them, had
they wilhed to leave their country j but they -pre
ferred the honor -of remaining French- ritizens.
Even persecution, which they did not efeape, has
not weakened their conflancy. This example of
devotion to the republic, far exceeds the palriotifm
of who boast of their disinterestedness, while
the revolution has been to them a mine of gold, or
who have seta high price upon very trifling services.

A French conyoy of 25 (hips are arrived on the

A conspiracy has baen discovered at Mantua, to

MILA'N, June 14.
General Buonaparte is, it is, said, gone to Paris,
to confer personally with the Dire&ory, and receive
new inftruftions for his future operations. He is
ejtpefted to return within a fortnight. Citizen,
Pinfot has been appointed commifTary of the French
. army in the room of Salicetti.
On the 12th three deputies set out from this city
to Pan's, to notily to the French government the
wish of the inhabitants of Milan, that the Milanese
1 and the reft of Lombardy may be changed into a
republic. >
When the deputies were about to depart, a great
multitude of people was afTembled. The president
of the munii ipality made a discourse to them, in
which he said, " that all the municipalitie», legally
affetabled, had expressed their wish that the country
might be changed into a republic.'?- One of the
deputies replied, and aflure'd the president, that he
would exei t himfelf to the utmost in the execution
of his mission, that the people might be gratified in
their wi(h for republican liberty. Another of the
deputies (Serbelloni) at his departure, took off the
key he wore as chamberlain, and declared that as
he wa4 now a freeman,, he would no longer wear
the badge of slavery.
The new French CommifTary, Pinfot, has order
ed that all persons who are indebted to the Auftit
an government, the Archduke Ferdinand, the Emi
grants or the powers at war with France, shall give
them in, tinder pain of paying double ; all feudal!
rights, exclusive rights of the chace, all armorial
bearings and liveries, are abolished. All diplomas
of nobility are to be given in, within a'week, and
burnt.. "No person is t« bear any other title, except
profefiional, than that of citizen. Inventories are
to be mJde of all the silver utensils and ornaments
in the churches.
. The conditions of the French peace with Sardi
nia are now completely executed. The cities of
Valenza and Aleffandtia, are 'p.ow in possession of

LONDON, July 5. 1
, The fcherae of operations of the French Armies '
is not fufficiently understood in this Country to ena- f
ble us to form a proper estimate of its merits. Mi- !'
litary men who know \he country, however, speak 1
of it \Vith the highest commendation. They fay
it is a plan conceived with equal enterprize and c
still: it defeats every project that the Auftrians
formed for the campaign ; since if Prince Charles *
fttould detach from his army a body oT men fuffi- '
cient to Wurffifcr to attack Moreau, he v
must expose the important line of the river Main to 1
Jourdan, who would afTuredly again cross" the ''
Rhine : and even sn attack by Wnrmfer would not 0
be disastrous to Moreau, while the Ffench bavefe- u
cured the bridges for their retreat.
On the other hand, if piince Charles does not a
detach, it is likely that Morfcau will form a jundti- 3
on with Kellerman, who has hardly any thing to
oppose his pa (Tags by the Lake of Conltance, ex
cept the feebie garrisons of Landau and Bregenlz ;
and, this junflion once the Austrian armies
mult retreat fiom the Rhine to save the veiy heart P
of Germany.'
In the mean time, even if these grand projefls d
Should fail, the FVcgcb have succeeded in turning
the war into the enemy's country. The fertil? c l
fidee of the Brtfgaw not merely save their own a,
f crops, but deprive the Auftrians of their only near y
supplies, and force them tojliaw all their fubfjftence b
from the Mam and" Necker.
