LONDON, September 13. The persons arrested on Monday morn ing the 4th of September are the two Di rectors, Carnot and Bartbelemy ; between 60 and 70 of the members of the two Coun cils ; and the authors and printers of two and thirty periodical publications,which had exposed the conduct of the Direftory as un eonftitutional. The accusation preferredagainft thofeper fons is a conspiracy to restore royalty ; and the documents on which the charge is found ed are a variety of papers said to be found in the Portefeuille of M. d'Entraignes. On the authenticity of tbefe papeis it is not for Us to attempt to comment. The m«ft arbitrary and unconfiitutiona! measures have been the immediate result of this violent explosion. The Councils, at the instigation of the Direftory, WITH- 1 OUT ANY TRIAL, have pronounced a sentence of banishment on the accuied de puties. And the Triumvirate make a merit of not putting them, to death, as if it would not be neceflary to produce some proof a gainst them on their trials ; and consequent ly to submit their documents to the investi gation of ceunfel. The fame councils have annulled all the laws which repealed several of the atrocious decrees parted during the reign of Robes pierre, and evidently sepugnant to the prin ciples upon whichtheconftitution is profeffed to be founded. They have removed even the feeble barriers which that eonftitution had interposed to the erection of arbitrary pow er on the part of the Direftory. They have authorifijd them to ciMivhpt trapps tlxyplcafe to Paris, and to take inch means qs to them (hall seem expedient for the fafety of the country. In (liort, they have bnfely sur rendered their own rights and those of their constituents ; fanftioned a virtual annihila tion of the eonftitution, and the eltabli(h ment of an abfoiute or military Govern ment. All tilt Editors and -printers of the pro foribed journals been committed to prison, preparatory to their trial, and the press :s placed under the fuperintendanee of the Police.' Therefore, all the public, in' telligence from Paris hereafter will come through the partial channel of the Directo rial pretTes. A small Paris paper of the 18th inft. is said to be received which however contains no material news. It.is mentioned that Jouidan had moved and carried the ap pointment of a new committee, rs the late military committee are for transportation. Several ojher alterations have ensued. The members appointed to the new military committee are —Savory, Talot, Portes, Martiu, EchaiTeriaux, Ludot and Jourdan. Septeirsber 14. A private letter from Paris, dated the 7th inft. we yesterday received from a very intelligent correspondent. After a ctxrfory view of affairs, which merely confirms the statements already made in the various pa pers, the writer assures us, " that the Di reftory had some hours before dispatched a special meflenger to Lisle, ordering the commifiioner or plenipotentiary 0:1 the part of France to demand from Lord Malmcf bury a categorical answer to the lust propo sition. Should his lordfliip hrfitate to com ply with the request, or (hould his answer be hostile to the views of the Direftory, ?n intimation was to be given him, that hia speedy departure from France would be satis» faftory." This letter also mentions, that " Xloriait had been invited to Paris by the Direftory ; and that on the f>th inft. he was arrested at St. Denni'3 on his route to the capital. Moreau, one of the greatcft of mo dern times, and the bo fori} friend of Pichc. gin, was, when at the head of his army, viewed by the Direftory with much jealoui'y and fear. They knew that his political f«n timents corresponded mth those of Piche gru ; and they dreaded his great popularity among the fwldiers—thofe soldiers who had refufed to address the Direftory against tlie Councils.
