A meflage from the Council of Elders having announced that the resolution enter ed into yesterday relative to the oath to be laken by the members of the new third, had pafled into a law, it wai instantly proposed that the oath should be taken on the spot. This motion being agreed to, the members who were present ascended the tribune, and swore hatred against royalty and anarchy, and* fidelity and attachment to theconftitu tion of the 3d year.

Villers, in the name of the commiflion of finance, made a general report on that ob ject, and mveftigated the means of remedy ing the distress in which that part of the administration was involved.

At the end of the report, VillerS presented the projeft of a resolution, stating the ordinary and extra ordinary services of the year, at from 6 to 616 millions. After some obfervation6 from Chollet and Fabre, the Council ordered the printing of the report and the projeft, the objefts of which are to be discussed to-morrow, and the following days. COUNCIL of ELDERS. Sitting of Sept. 6. The fitting being resumed at one o'clock in the afternoon, Marbot was eleded Pre sident. Lacombe Saint Michel made a report on the resolution of the 23d ult; relative to the pay of difmifled officers, and tending to force them to quit Paris, and to expe& the payment of the above arrears in their ref pedlive communes." " Yes," said Lacombe, " gallant soldiers of every description, you shall kno\v r that a fa&ion as powerful as hypocritical, intend ed to remove you from the place where the government resides, which you have found ed and maintained —you shall know that it aflemblcd the'fe emigrants, fanatical priests, in short, the whole horde of royalist conspi rators, to overthrow the republic. It was teferved to one of the generals of' the army of Italy to defeat this conspiracy without one drop of blood beiftg flicd. With what artonu'.'unent will Europe learn, that the celebrated general who once led our phalanxes to viftory, fold the Re public to a Bourbgn. Let Pichegru and his accomplices no longer defile the territory of liberty—let them carry their remorse to the scorching foil of Africa. " May the 18th Fruftidor, (Sept. 4) be the dawn of the fined days of the Repub lic ! —may our deluded colleagues return ! —our hearts and arms are open to receive them. Let us all unite to save the repub lic !" 1 Lacombe moved, that the resolution be rejefted. The council reje&ed the resolution, and ordered the report to be printed. Sitting of the 10th. The council received, and immediately approved of a resolution pafled yesterday, which stated that all the armies having by their conduft and addrefles, contributed to the tranfaftions of the 4th of September," had deserved well of their country. PARIS, September n. The depmties condemned to transporta tion, left Paris yesterday morning at 4 o' clock, in covered waggons under a very ftroug guard. Some fay they are to be sent to Cayenne, others to Madjigafcar. Several emigrants of diftindion have been arrested Ihe number of paflports which the Central Bureau continues to grant ex ceeds credibility. According to the reports which were in cireulation three days ago, the half of France was in flames. Lyons, it was said, had revolted, the department of l'lfere was in a slate of infurreftion, and the war in La Vendee was kindled up again. The news received from the neighbouring departments is, however, dircftly the reverie : the Exe cutive Dire&ory has received addrefles of congratulation from fevcral. The intelli gence of what happened on the 4th inft. caused the liveliest joy at Rouen, and everv wife measure was taken to secure the emi grants, the priests, and she agents of Louis XVIII. at Lyons, which has constantly been the hot bed of superstition and of roy alty. It is probable that the 4th of September will be considered in all the departments as an epoch which consolidates the true inter ests of the Republic, and rescues the consti tution from the chains with which it was opprefled— (Le Survcillantt.) LONDON, September ij. The new Directors, as we have already stated, are, Merlin of Douay, and Francois de Neufchatean, the former of whom, after having been privy to most of the maflacres which have stained the revolution, in the true hypocritical cant of a Cromwell, as sumes the chara&er of humility in his ad dress to the Dire&ory on accepting his new office and fays—" I cannot approach the duties of it without a religious trembling. What ought to be my anxiety and fear in being placed so near to you, Citizen Di reftors, around whom the beams of glory shine with such tranfeendent splendor. In the Redafteur of the nth is a letter, signed Moreau, addressed to Barthelemi, which the Dire&ory has sent to the two Councils to render it the more public. This letter is dated StaHburgh, Sept. 5, and incloses some pretended correspondence found in the tnunks of the Austrian General Klinglin, many months since, in which General Pichegru's najne is mentioned as being in the league with the Prince de Con de and other emigrants. As this secret has been long in Moreau's pofleflion,we can on ly account for his having published it at the period he did in order to save himfelf at the expense of his friend Pichegru.who he might have heard was arrested. We must leave it to future historians to account for a man of Moreu's acknowledged bravery, meanly at tempting to save his own existence by facri fieinghis bosom friend. We have infrrted the letter at length, as it is extremely fit to be bound up with the pretended correspon dence of the Cher. d'Entraigues. In the Annales Politiques of the 11 th, it is mentioned that news is arrived from Gen eral Berthier, of the treaty of peace with the Emperor being signed; but as this re port is not confirmed in the succeeding. num ber, we considered it to be premature. Among the firft petitions presented to the new Council (not of five hundred, be cause one half the members are either trans ported or fled) is an address from the deser ters of the armv and other vagabonds con fined in the prison St. Pelagie, praying to be released, that they may fight the enemies of their country. Their petition was order ed for the inquiry of the military commifli on. The next petition will probably be from the Galley-Slaves of Brest. Yesterday morning lieutenant General Sir R.alph Ambercrombe arrived in town from the Weft Indies. We understand that he is to be appointed commander in Chief in Ireland. Merlin of Douay, the fun of a peasant, was taken into a house of a religious com munity as a servant boy. On discovering a quiqknefs of talents, and a desire for learn ing, he was taught to read and write, and afterwards officiated as an attendant at the celebration of mass. He was thence sent to college, and became an advocate of the Par liament of Douay, He purchased, previ ous to the revolution, the title of Secretaire du Roi, for the purpose of obtaining rank, and afterwards attached himfelf to the fad ions of Orleans. In all the ftnges of the 1 revolution, he has (hewn himfelf a molt 1 blood thirsty villain, and is supposed to have been a principal plotter in the late revoluti on. His charader i 3 extremely well suited to that of his colleagues.

PORSTMOUTH, Sept. 13. Arrived this evening his Majefly's frigates Arethufa, of 38 guns, Capt. Wolly, from the IVfl-Indies, with General Sir R. Abtrcrombie on board. The General has landed, end is go ing immediately for London. The Arethufa, captured Le Gatte French corvette, of 20 guns, on the 10th of /'ugufl, after an obflinate engagement for three quarters of an hour, during which the corvette had 9 men killed and wounded, and the frigate 3, one of whom was iilled.The corvette arrived with the Arethufa, and a Dutch IVefl-India fbip, laden with cotton, indigo, iS/c valued at 30,000/ is hourly expedcd,alfo captured by the Arethufa. The rethifa brings the « cry pleasant news that the pcflUentialfever that has so long raged in that quarter, is in a great measure subsided, and that all military operations are at a fland- NEW-YORK, November 6. From the Commercial Advert ifer. The storm which has been so lon hanging over France, has at length burst. —The call of the troops to Paris and the violent addresses of the armies were only the precurfers of the explosion. Three members of the dircdtory, Lareveilliere Lepaux, Rewbel and Barras have been taking measures to ftifle what they call a conspiracy of the royalists, and having secured a large military force and barred the gates of Paris, they ordered their two colleagues, Barthelemy and Carnot to be arrefted—Carnot was not found— Barthelemy is arrested, with Pichegru, Willot, Dumolard, and other members of the Councils. The papers, which are called proofs of their guilt, have been published, and without trial, a number of the members as the Councils and the two Directors, are condemned to banifb ment.—The prisoners Were immediately sens off to Rochfort to be embarked, ei ther for the East or Weft Indies. The detail of these events is too important to be curtailed. At present, we shall make but one re mark to fatisfy inquiries how far this re volution. may affedt the United States : and this is, that those members of the directory and legislature who haye open ly reprobated the condudt of the French government towards this country, are a mong the fallen and proscribed party ; and our bitterest enemy, Merlin, rrtinif ter of Justice, is elected one of the Di reftory. Appearances are therefore ex tremely unfavorable ; but perhaps the cloud may be diflipated. We must wait for further intelligence, before we can form a decided opinion on the fate of the proposed negotiation. Among the exiled deputies we notice Barbe Marbois, of the Council of El defS) formerlyconful iiatheUnitedStates. The Britilh frigate Doris, of 3$ guns, Lord Ranelaugh, has taken, after a smart aftion, off Ireland, the French privateer Le Fabin, of 20 guns and 140 men. From the Daily Advert'tfer. The Emperor, or his Britannic Majes ty, do not appear to be implicated in any league with tlie late overthrown party ; and yet the rtbrubt departure of Lord Malmelbury from Lisle, would lead us to suppose, certainly, that the events in Pa ris were unfavorably viewed. In ac counts of a prior date to this circum stance, we notice that it was believed in Paris, that Ch. de la Croix was agaiu to be brought into action ; and from the complexion of his former irrtercourfe with Lord M. in his capacity as secretary for foreign affairs, the English Editors had began to apprehend consequences equally unfavorable. Lord St. Vincent was still off Cadiz, and admiral Duncan off the Texel. Six ships of the line are ordered to reinforce the former, under the command of ad mirl Sir John Orde, vice admiral Nelson, who has retired upon a pension. The President of the Dutch Conven tion lias officially announced the rejec tion, by the people, of the new consti tution. Carnot. There are no pofitire ac counts of his death. In appears moll j likely lie has been bar.ifhcd ' leagues. Triei.hard and Bonnjer were the new commiffioriers at Lisle—men who are fb.ted to have been of less accommo dating views and manners than the for mer ; another confirmation of the un fortunate refhlt. Pjchegru is UA to have told the prince of Conde, he would leave no thing unf.nifhed—" I do not wish to be the the third vol. of La Fayette and Dumourier." Tali.eyrand Pf.rigord. We find him Ml among the candidates of the fuccefsful party. He was on one nom ination for the new vacancy in the Di rectory, and his predecessor was again employed. Weprefume it was in foir.e diplomatic agency which has tended to the unfuccefsful iiTue at Lisle. Marbois, Gen. Jourdan, Gen. Hochc, and others, are among the new party. Died, lately in England, in child bed, Mrs. Godwin j more known as Miss Woiftonecraft, the celebrated au thoress of The rights of Women. A gentleman, who cam; paflenger in the Mary, informs, that Mr. Marshal, one of the American cornmiiTroners, had arrived in Holland. We do not find, in the English prints, any account of the arrival of Mr. Marlhal or Mr. Gerry. From the Neiv-Tork Gazette. A Summary or Articles which we SHALL DETAIL IN FULL.

The charge against Pichegru is, that he, bribed by the Prince of Conde, was to place Louis XVIII. on the throne, and who, in return, was to be made marlhal of France, and governor of Alsace—To have the Sig norfhip, with its Park—a million of livres in ready money, and a pension of 200,000 a year—with the estate called the Terre d'Ar bois, which was to take his name.
