Barbaroux speaks in favor of a con vocation of the primary ailemblies for the re-election of deputies. Lafource informed, that among the fe<ftions of Marseilles, some have declared, that they would acknow ledge no law palled with the con currence of those who voted for the appeal ; another fediion endeavors to prevail on the citizens of Paris to fend the appellants to their re lpeftive departments in chains. Lafource moved that these relolves should be annulled. The convention decreed, " That the petition or letter from Mar seilles is rejected or difappioved, & that all the resolves of administra tive bodies relative to this letter are annulled, as an invasion of the liberty of opinion, the unity and in divisibility of the republic." The commiifioners sent to visit the ports from l'Orient to Bayonne, write from Rochefort, on the 18th, that the rebels having dared to at tack General Masse, ac the head of 1300 men with seven pieces of can non, had been put to flight, leaving one hundred men on the field. We have had but seven wounded. Gen. Mace is about pursuing, wi|h a re inforcement of 2000 men, the re bels as for as Nantz, the communi cation of which place with Antwerp is dill interrupted. The rebels are commanded by Gafton, Saint-Her maine, and Verteuil. Thecommif fioners announce frefli reinforce ments from Bourdeaux, &c. Fabre d'Eglantine informed, that from the knowledge colletfed by the police of Paris, and committee of general fafety,from the exchang es made every day at the mint of a quantity of guineas and dollars, it was evident, that foreign powers have numerous agents in the repub lic, and especially in Paris ; he therefore proposed, in the name of the comgiittee, to place at the dis posal of the minifterof the inferior, a sum of 300,000 livres forfecretex penfes.

It is not, said the orator, mere partial infur re<stions, it is not a handful of rebels, that the patriots could easily disperse, but real coun ter-revolutionary armies. They recruited among us, but it appears that they formed themselves in the department of lower Loire. They march in two columns, one towards the diflriffc of Challans and that of Sables and the other to Montaigu. Between these two main bodies are others less confide rable.— One Gafton is the commander in chief. One hundred gallant inhabitants of Fontenay dar ed to attack at St. Fulgent, 6ooof the rebels. They could not be fuccefsful, 17 fell on the spot. The city of Chantenay has been at tacked, taken and pillaged by the revolrers. About this timfe General Maci arrived at St. Hermand. He attacked the rebels and killed 100 men. The 18th his army retted ; the 19th he took a bad position, was attacked and put totally to flight. 6ur defeat was such that we left 74 or 80 wounded to the mercy of the counter'.revolutionifts. The commiflioners of the convention have deposed Mace, and appointed Col. Botilard in his stead, who is busy in endeavoring to gather the scattered remains of our army. Another administrator adds, that numerous rebels have been landed by Engliih privateers; that they con'jft of emigrants and non-juring priests, who, the crucifix in their hand, in spire with a spirit of fanaticifm the unfortu nate inhabitants of the country to such a de gree, that they, with no other arms than spades and pitchforks, stand the fire of the cannon, and think thef attain a place in hea ven by dying in such a cause. The administrators concluded by afkingfor officers in whom the .national guards can con fide, muikets, cannon, ammunition, and pro visions and fucconr for 300 families who have loft their chiefs.

LONDON, April 3 Private letters from Cenftantiuo ple state, that a conspiracy has been dete&ed at the Ottoman Court. The French had, by presents and promises, corrupted the greatest part of the Turkish Ministry, and endeavored to induce them to mur der the Grand Signior. Everything had already been so concerted, that his Sublime Highness was to be strangled, and war declared against Austria and Russia. The Roflian Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople, had the good for tune to discover the whole of the plot, and to give timely notice of it to the Sultan. All the accomplices were instantly ftrangjed, and many Frenchmen, who even, had but the retnoteft concern in it, were declar ed outlaws, and their property was confifcared. Every affiirance of peace and good understanding was then given to our court and to that of Peterlburgh. The Internuncio, who was about a twelve-month ago at that court, was amongst the con spirators, and has received his due reward. Every Mail from the Continent now announces the repulse or re treat of the French from some of their conquests in the Netherlands. On Saturday last they evacuated Oftend. They had remained there to the number of 2000, in order to fend off the veflels in the harbor with such stores as they could carry to Dunkirk.

They were, however, overcome by, the bravery of the Imperial troops, driven from all their posts, and forced to evacuate the town of Louvain, to quit the rivulet Dyl, & to retire behind Louvain towards Broffels. The firft column fell in, near Belemberg, with a body of the enemy, who occupied the heights between that village and Louvain, in order to cover the latter. The enemy de fended themselves there for seven hours with the greatest obstinacy, but they were at length overcome and driven beyond the rivulet Dyl. This battle was still more bloody than that ef the second column, and we reckon our loft which is notyetproperly ascertained,atroore than 5000 men ; the enemy loft above 2000. Our column took pofTeffion of three cannons and one carriage. The enemy abandoned at Lou vain a conli derable magazine. Terror and disorder have again their troops.
