The last difpaches from general

place on the t3tb between liruflels
and Louvaiu, the details of which
will probably be laid before the con
vention to-morrow. Yesterday a
bill was dillributed and posted up
jn different parts of Paris, stating,
that the deputies of the national con
vention and the whole municipality
ought to be maflacred, and that it is
abiolutely necelfary that Krance
should have a king Intelligence
from the interior parts of the coun
try, prove that there is great com
motion among the people through
out every part of rhe republic. The
ino-ft serious ditturbances have been
at Montargis. The dearnefs of bread
and the law for recruiting, were
the preteiices for this commotion.—
