NEW YORK, Nov. 30.
The revolntionifts in the Ligurian (Ge

to make republicans, than the use of guil
lotines. They have appointed forty missi
onaries to travel over their territory, to
preach and explain the principles of demo
cracy.
The Earl of St. Vincents has appointed
William Hale Gage, Esq. to the command
of the Terpfiehore in the place of Capt.
Bowen, killed at Teneriffe.
A Dublin paper states that 2446 looms
are now idle in the cotton, {ilk, fluff, broad
cloth and ribbon manufactures ; leaving
11,458 industrious hands unemployed, and
their families without bread.
The purchafersofnationalconfifcated pro- <
perty in France fuffer so much from the old ;
proprietors ortheir frirnds, that in th* sou- 1
thern departments, Mont Blanc and Ifere
and Var, 60,000 of them had entered into <
associations for their mutual protedion. I
In a debate in the Council of Five Hun
dred August 28, a motion was made for the 1
payment of officers on half pay ; but it was '
proposed that no officer should receive his 1
money in the Commune where the legifla- i
tive body fat. General Jourdan remon- (
ftrated against this article as unjust. A- I
mong other reasons suggested by him for '
not compelling old officers to retire into the
departments, we. notice the following— 1
" that to wear regimentals in the depart- t
mcnts was fufficient to endanger their fafe- c
ty." This declaration excited murmurs, t
and was, by one officer, denied. Butothers \
supported the opinion as corrcft. I
We note this opinion of a cool discrete {
man, who cannot be fufpe&ed of inifrepre
fentation as a stronger proof of the popular r
sentiment in France with regard to the exist
ing Government, than a hundred harangues r
of Jacobins in office. If the regimentals of I
Vep'iblican officers are so disagreeable a fight
in the departments, the inference is certain, i;
that the cause and the form of government n
in which they have been worn, are odious t:
and unpopular. ti
Fasts of all kinds a re ir.ceffantly occur
ring to convince the world that a maj'ority
of the people in France vvifh for a monar
chy—not the old regimen of defpotifrn, ; ti
feudal services and church monopolies ; but ti
a monarchy governed by a fixed constitution tl
and laws ena£tecj by a National Reprefenta- j ei
ticn. The most enlightened men in that tc
country seem to think the manners and ha- fii
bits of the people, the-populoufnexs of the
country, and the vices of its inhabitants re
quire such a form of government.
The armies however are of a different o
pmion. They ■Tubfiil on their enemies—
, they have not felt the evils and insecurity of
rights, the anarchy, distress and inveterate
pamons which torment the citizens at hotqe
-- i hey are firm and unanimous in support
of a republican form of government, and
ot while these armies exist, with such fcoti
nt ments, the people mufl patiently yield to
11- their destiny.

Extrad oj a letter from cap/. Howard, of the
<. flip Montezuma f-Lound from Liverpool to
James river, dated Sf. Thomas's, Oil.
1 5 . 1797.'
" Ori the 2d of September lift I was
captured by a French brig, called L'
Aigle, capt. Marin from St. D'Uningo, who
y took out the people with both mattes-, and
c . ordered the ship for Porto Rico.; and-af
f - ter experiencing every misfortune from the
g unfkilfulnefs of the French and their want
t { of humanity, we arrived off the island of
5 * Porto Rico the last day of September.
H Just as we were entering the harbour of Por
it. to Rico, we were re-captured by the Bri
>f t ' l^l frigate L'Atniable, commanded by
1- William Granville Lobb, who took ua in
y tbwr, and carried us to Tortola. At Tor

LONDON, Sept. 29.
A council was field on Wednesday of all
the cabinet mim'fters, except the Earl of
Liverpool, when we understand, it was fi
nally determined that parliament (hould meet
for th e dispatch of business on Tuesday,
the 2d of November next.
The Irilfi parliament is prorpguecj by a
proelamation dated the 15th inft- from *he
[ 2ill inft. to the 24th of o£t.
, The latr negociat'ion—The following are
. given as the outlines of the last conferences
between Lord Malmelbury and M. Treil
hard.
M. Treilhard, on arriving at Lisle, im
mediately waited on Lord Mahncfbury, and
after the ufuaf salutation, aildrefied his
Lord (hip as follows :—" My Lord, the
Frenph government has charged- me to ac
quaint your excellency, that the events
whith have lately passed in France have not
altered theJineere difpojition of the executive
government for peace ; and it has therefore
determined to conclude it on the basis de
livered by M. Letourneur at the commence
ment of the negociatioo. The French go
vernment has no obje£t more at heart than
to restore harmony between France and
England, according to the principles which
may secure the prosperity of the two na
tions. At the fame time Mr. Treilhard
presented a paper to Lord Malmelbury,
containing the ultimatum of the French go
vernment.
Lord Malmelbury, after having read the
paper with attention, replied to M. Treil
hard—" Among the objects contained in
the paper put into my hands, there are some
of the utmeft importance, and on which it
is necessary I (hould consult wi(h my col
leagues ; but 1 thf'fik 1 may fay, there are
some points which are inadnriflible. How
ever, there requires time to refleft on a bu
finefß of so very important a nature, before
I can give you a categorical answer."
1 reilhard then alked his lordlhip whether
he had full powers to treat bafis that
was proposed ; to which Lord Malmelbury
replied—that he had full powers to treat
for any terms ; but that his inftru&ions
did not permit him to accept of the propo
litioHS offered, without firft communicating
with his court.
" My Lord,'faid Treilhard, the govern
ment which sent me hither has charged me
to fignify to you, that if your inftru&ions
do not allow you to accept of the condi
tions I have delivered you Ihould quit Lille
within twenty four hours." Lord Malmef
bury replied, " ttll your government that I
shall be out of Lisle within eight hours."
The parties then bowed to each other and
retired.
It was yesterday reported, that very se
rious mntiriy had broken out among the
Dotch fleet. <t-.
A Vienna letter of the 9th faf 3, the Ital
ian army of of 132,000 1

troops of the line, which every day pass thrtS'
that city.

The hofti'e dispositions evinced by the
triumvirs, being without semblance of con
troul on the deftruftion of Carnot and Bar-,
thelemyledtoan apprehenfionthattheconfer- 1
ences at Lisle, which appeared a facrifice r
to public opinion, would terminate on the 1
firft phulible pietext—but a pretext was c
e not waited for, and the request of our aui
t- baffador to be allowed to consult on a moil .
extraordinary requisition, occasioned an or
-- der that he (hould leave the country. The
- executive conceiving that the people, wea
>f ried of carnage, would require to be told the
e cause of itscootinuißce, have di/playedmuch
e iubtilitv in a proclamation, which required
t the armies to prepare to adl offenfively a
d gainst the Emperoi, on the 6th of O&ober,
- but the great obje£t of which was, to irri
t> tate the public mind against England and
Audria ; whom they rcprefent as the caus
es of all the calamities that had happened,
and that were ;ibout to follow ; though the
'• refufal to return Mantua tfv the Emperor,
as flipulated in the preliminary articles, and
3 the invitation to the countries of Treves,
1, Cologn, &c. See. .to solicit the proteftiou of
1* ranee in the eftablilhment -of a republic at
this fide the Rhine, in defiance of the fame
articles ; together with the compliance to
e the solicitation, as Hated by M- Kfaipis,.
® president of the municipality of Cologn,
• who intimates in his proclamation, that
France requires the Cisalpine republic to
® form immediate guard of 6b,0t0 men—
prove that the Executive of Fianct;, either \
' from an unfatiable thirst of conquell, or an 1
to divert the people from the coofideration
ofdomellic opprefiion, have not had any fe- ?
rious desire for the reiteration of peace. j
The death of Gens. Hoche is, to the di- j
reftory, a misfortune of the firft magnitude I
*—The fame desperate spirit had led each to |
power, 'and similar interest created rccipro- >
r cal regard. '
1 Moreau, almost immortal/zed by his re- j
treat, isdeftroyedbyhis perfidy : hisftrength 1
would have been perhaps iuvincible if, to
1 retain it, he had not traduced and
' his friend. *
' To ii finite resolution Jourdan, and many
others, join cenfiderable military talents,
• but, befidesa deficiency of thatgenius which
should comprise all things at once, they are
not to be trailed.
Buonaparte, who unites all the qualities
rCquifite.to found an empire, continues his
profeffit>ns of attachment to the dire&ory.
—Whilll each parfues the fame objeft, the
appearance will'continue ; but the firll clalh
of interest will create hostility, and we err
if the period is far distant.
Yesterday the French emigrant, General
' Frotte, arrived in town from France ; he
came by way of Havre and Portsmouth.and
left Paris on the 26th ult. He represents
that capital to be in a state of great and ge
neral confufion, and taentionsthe prevalence
of a report that hostilities had been renewed
between the' French and Auftrians.
The fifty-four new members in the coun
cils are the immediate creatures of the di
■ redlory.
In the southern and western provinces of
France, the people have manifefted their dif
. approbation of the recent revolution in the
capital, by adls of violence against the par
tisans of the party j they afford
afyl«raß to the emigrants, and have depriv
ed of thtir offices some funftionaries who
attempted to enforce thelate decrees against
them. The ci-devantprovincesof Auvergne,
Lionnois, Main, Anjou, and Bretagne, are
mentioned among the most di(affe£ted—;tbe j '
latter in particular, where the military p<jw- | '
er is infufficient to repress the disorders of J
the populace. Peace is every where desired, 1 |
and the government was censured for defer- '
ring the period of its return.
The unfortunate prosecuted Frenchmen ; '
who daily flock to this kingdom, represent j
the mass of their countrymen as on the eve ■
of infurre£lion, for the purpose of enforc- ; '
ing of thelate sanguinary laws
against emigrants, and a serious dis
position qn the part of the direflory
to peace. Their statements are too fre
quently the impreflion yf their hopes, and '
have often proved erroneous—they are now !
unanimous and consistent in Hating (and '
all that we have heard on the fubjedl war- j
ranny our believing them) that the new ty- j
rants of France is obaoxioua to the people, ■
who seek occasion to destroy it. \

_ nouncing that the French privateers had re-

1 our veflels might navigate those seas with
_ fafety. How well founded thefc reports
have been, Jet the experience of every A

j probable that the several intimations lately l ,
made public of another favorable change ia
p our allies, are bottomedon the fame ground*
t with the preceding; and that nothing more
a in intended than teiindmce Americans to
