>■"*" r " 1 iforeig n intelligence PARIS, September 6. COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. After a short preface, Laborgue, in the name of the commifiisn of marine made a report on the creation of an auxiliary navy. " Never he fa id was the French navy so nn fortUnate, even tinder Louis XV- It was Hill, 15 months ago, powerfull formi dable j it occupied the two seas, and on both it experienced the fame disasters. We loft lafl year more ships, than we had done ftnee the beginning of the war. " Though the expedition to Egypt was disapproved of hy political ahfervers, some real advantages might be expe&sd from it : but no precaution was taken by sea to pro tect tt. Nn ostensible movement or arma ment was made at Brrft, whili the whole attention of theen'tny were drawn to Tou lon. This remarkabl- fault gives reason ti believe, that the success of that expe dition occupied less the ex-Dirc&ors than the desire of removing a general who might lie an obstacle to tie defijin of draw ng the nation into a nev.- war. The defeat of A boukir has c t off a'l our communications with the ports of the Medi erantan ; it has annihilated cur trade in the Levant, and it had brought about that monstrous coalition, in which the standards of Chrilt and of Ma homet, of the eagle and the leopard, are seen united againd France. " "he annihilation cf cur navv has dis abled us from fupporti' g our colonies : our commerce with them is null: England has taken pofTcflion of it, and brings away their produce by means of neutralt, and we are obliged to purchase from the third hand ouf colonial produftions. Thus our specie flows i-to foreign hands arid fupporti the coa'iiion. . t r> • ... ? : ■if : * " •n V •. taken pofTeflioft and brings away theii ce by means of neutrali, and we are obliged to purchase from the third hand ouf colonial produdlions.

It was thus our privateers were locked up last y tar, at the very moment when a fleet esti mated at 150 millions was returning with out any convoy from Brafil Tb«» the TpecuJaxors who bad fitted cot privateers loft thrir capitals. " It is iirgeii'. to repair all the faults of the formn- Direftory; to rc-ellabliGt our navy, to create an auxil ary one. which may at the fame time be commercial, tt> favour privateering, and to make private interest coincide with ihege-.eral good. To this e'Tett th; commission propofts the following meafurea : The auxiliary navy it to be composed of armed merchant Blips, to allow the seamen V/-.C serve m ; r..-m to share in the honor of national rewavo* ; to grant to their widows ai d childen the fr.me relief as to those of the fearoen killed in the ferv-ce of the national navy ; to furnifh the sea rdnance necessa ry ; to give a premium of 24 trancs per ten to every armed vefTe' which (ball eonv-y our manufactures ro the colonics and bring to France the produce of our colonies ; as well as those which (hall fetch naval stores fr ni neutral arc! friendly p-rts. No letter' of marque will be delivered but to ships carrying 24 guns, at least 8 pounders, if they pass the line, and 18 guns 6 poun* ders if they go the colonies. For thr (hips armed for the Meditcranean and the coatis of the Ocean 4guns 2 pounders will be fuf* ficient to obtain letters of marque ; to an* thorize merchants to build and fit out fri gates from 36 to 40 fiuns and above, as also (hips from 50 to 74guns ; to give a premi to grant 01 e of icoo francs for every gun be bti'lt on the oeine, at Paris. i he Council adopted some of the above articles and the reft were adjourned. i department of the Upper-Garronne, return ed thanks to the good genius of the Repub lic which had dispersed the bsnds of roya lii'm, whose progress threatened to set every V . part of the Republic in a game.

The Council then faDClio.iied the resolu tion declaring that the idminiftration'and republicans of the Upper Garonne haddefer ved well of the country. The war rainifler has received a letter from generul Fregeville, dated the 26th nit. containing the following, details refpefiing the royal rebels: jooo are in the prisons «f iouloufe ; 300 in those of Auch.
