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."

Fabre d'Eglantine informed, that
from the knowledge colletfed by
the police of Paris, and committee
of general fafety,from the exchang

quantity of guineas and dollars, it
was evident, that foreign powers
have numerous agents in the repub

The administrators arrive to give an ac
count of the troubles and devastations in the
two departmentsof Deux Sevres and Vandee.
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

They could not be fuccefsful, 17 fell on the

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

spades and pitchforks, stand the fire of the
cannon, and think thef attain a place in hea

The administrators concluded by afkingfor

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. The appearance of
the squadron, detached by Captain
Macbride, put a flop to the execu
tion of this design ; two of the Bri
tish vessels entered the harbor, on
the invitation of the inhabitants—.
and the French marched ofFina bo
dy to Dunkirk.

When the second column arrived at the

them occupied by numerous hodiei of Fiench
cavalry, and the village of Blamder,
was intended to cover their leftwing by a
great number of their infantrv. '
The enemy were attacked on all fide% but
they made an obltinate defence, procuring re .

whom they brought from Louvain, a»d their
camp behind that town, those who hail been
repulsed.
Tho battle was bloody; onr second column
loft above 400 men, and the enemy more than
2003. 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

This battle was still more bloody than that

Our column took pofTeffion of three cannons

The enemy abandoned at Lou vain a conli
