LIVERPOOL, March 30 Some people lhake their heads and leem forrowful when they heai ot large funis of money having beer sent to thc good patriots of France, to enable them to carry on the war againll this country with t he greater energy and effcift ; hue what is it the true lons of liberty will not at tempc in support of their darling caul's ! Ihe Englishman who would not betray his country, rob his cre ditors and reduce his family to beg gary and ruin, in fopport of liberty, is not worthy the name of a modern patriot. A gentleman of veracity in War rington informs us, that a nephew of his rode a galloway from that town to Settle, in Yorkshire, which is 70 miles, in one day, and back again the next: Af;er which bis nephew and the galloway were weighed, when the former proved the heavier by 1 5 lb. Mr. Fox said in the House of Com ■ nions the o'her d;iy, that nothing *aS more unpopular and opposite to the deities of the people of England, than Sir John Scott's bill for pre venting traiteious correspondence ; hut Mr. Fox surely forgot himfelf ; his conduct at this particular crisis, is'infinitely more unpopular, and opposite to the deflres of the people.

The objetft of this great cen iultation, is by a number of people here fuppoled to be the mode,of ef fecting a union of the Britilh and Irish legislatures. _It was apprehended lor some time, that the Guilds of this city Wednesday, Junk 5. 1 793- would have been so much under the influence of old piejudnes, us to throw diflicultics in the way of Ch- ; tholks seeking adr.iiliiou into their respective bodies, which would ef fect ualJy exclude them. We are happy to learn, however, chat ma-, ny ot thole guilds are much mure liberal in their feiuiments, and in tend to admit Catholics to their free dom, on pearly the fame terms as Pi ot« (ianis.

From ps Maich to the third, ii>ft.,/Karis appears to have been reirtaT'kably quiet, conlideriug that difatlerons news had been dai ly pouring in rVorti every quarter. The Council General of the Com niiine has been vigilant ; and San terre, the Commandant General, ac tive in the discharge of his own du- 1 ty, and ftric'i in compelling those whom he commands to perform theirs. The Decree for difqnniiig all fufpetfied pei sous was rigidly ex ecuted, and without thc.fniaUrit op petition. The itate of Paris is vow more chat of a garrison than of a ci ty. What effetfts the news of Du >noiirier's conduct may produce, it would be piefim>piio|i to anticipate. The conduiTt of ihe Parillans is not reducible to any known principles of human action. The (quadrou which failed from Br eft oil the Stli of March, was. » bliged to put back, having differed fc~. Cicl Achilles and the f ourvplle loft their masts ; and Duval, the Commander of 1 he (quadrun, was killed. When the Commiliioners of the Convention wete introduced to l)i|- mourier, tliey a/ked him, by w;hofe orders he had made the French ar my retreat from the Belgic proviri ces—he answered, by my oruti proper order. " You tiien love the Belgic provinces !" added he, " very well ! you (hall pay a visit to them your l'elves." BrifTo-t's party is now the leading one ; he carries with hiin 300 mem bers of the Convention, which, f'eemingly undif'may ed, are pre paring to refiit the renegade re storer of Monarchy. The Commiflionerg are lodged in Maeftricht, by order (>f the Prince de Cobourg, as a place of the great elt ffrength. It is said the allies suspend their operations until the success of Dumourier is known. April ji The Gazette, in which errors are as common as in newspapers of less emolument, f'eems to have made a small miltake in the number of pri- I'oners taken by the Pruftians at the battle ofßingen. It states thenoll commiflioned officers and privates taken at 200 ; the Bruflels Gazette extraordinaiy makes the "number 2 COO. The fame Gazette informs us,that an aruii'ftice had been agreed upon between his serene highnefa the Prince of Saxe Cobourg and general Duoiourier,' the latter having pre viously confirmed to evacuate the Aulirian Netherlands and Dutch Brnbant.—Why his serene highness (hould agree to anarmiftice, on con dition of Duntourier's doing that, which if the accounts of his serene highnefs's vi&ories be true, he was evidently obliged to do without any condition, it is not eal'y to imagine. The natural inference is, either that Duinourier was (till in fufficient force to dispute the pofleffion of the Austrian Netherlands, or that the prince ofbaxe Cobourghad puichaf 421 >• i Ms victorias at so dear a rate as to make an armillicc desirable, if not neceflary. The Duke of Richmond is now preparing a plan for the foi tificaii- O" of Paris againit Republicans and Levellers, which he mcqtis to tranl inii' to Dumcurier as soon as the lat ter has taken ftofleftion of the capi tal and rellored the oid government.

From the laie intelli gence from the armies on the Con tinent, the bi(hops will find it lie cefliny ro make an alteration in their form of pray er. Since the wicked have seen the error of their ways 0-od turned into the right path—it (houltl be rather a thanlCfgtving than _ T.he admiralty of Anifteidam have given notice that the embargo upon all the veflels of the allies and neu tral nations bound to the Baltic,the Ealt and Welt-Indies, is taken off. Dumpurier is said to have been perfnafled to change fides by the anihi dexter negotiations of Lord Auckland. Letters from Vienna and Cremo na state, that a meflenger arrived on the nth ult. at Milan, with intelli gence that General Colli had de feated the French at Nizza, taken all t.lieir baggage ; and that Bit on, their General, was wounded, sup posed mortally. Intelligence was yesterday tranf initted to the admiralty by admiral IVlacbride, that Dumourier, finding that his army would not fuppoit * i,i) in his plan of marching to Pa ris, and placing young Lonis on the throne, had found it necelfary to consult his fafety by going over to the Auftrjans ; and that he effecled his escape from his own troops, car rying with him a regiment of caval ry, confiding of from four to fix hundred men. T-U This intelligence is said to have been received by Admiral from the AuAi'tan commanding offi ci'r at Oftend. April 12 Yesterday morning Sir James Mur ray arrived in town from Oitend, with dispatches to government. He left Antwerp the 9th inft. and has inacje a * ery expeditious journey. Sir James Murray confirms the le port of Duuionriei's having been obliged to return back to the Aus trian head quarters at Mom. The following intelligence may be depended on as being con etft : General Dumourier, at ilie head of about 18,000 men, had reached Canibrai, a town of considerable ill ength iii the French Netherlands, and 1 j miles S. W. of Valenciennes, on his March towards Pari*. In the coui fe of the 61 li inll. he oblerved some difaffec r tion in his army, and having arrived at Canibrai, he ob served his artillery desert him, as well as many of the National Volun teers. He endeavored to rally his force*, and harrangued the troops of the line in particular, 111 a very pathetic Ipeech, exposing to them the villainy of the National Con vention, and that it was impoffibJe for the government to exilt much lenger. He said it was a disgrace. to serve such a cause. The aruiy, in reply, nffured the Genera] of tlieir persona] attach ment and refpetft for him, but that they could not content to follow him in bis present views, and turn their backs on the Conttituiion they had fwurn to support. Finding this disposition very general, Dumourier thought it prudent to make good a retreat as fuft as pofiihle; and on the 7111 inft. be returned lotheAuf- [Whole No. 428.] irian iieatl.quarters at ar the Lead of about 1100 Huflars, princi pally belonging to the regiwcnt of bercoiny, who bad always bepn confklered as attached to the Royal cause. Young Egalite, who ranked as a General in ibe army, is returned vviih D«in«nitier, and has resumed bis tiile of Duke de Chartres ; ihe eon/equence of this will probably be, that as soon as the Convention bears this news, they will take his father into custody, and all those who are nearest attached to him, oiji fuipicion of being accedaty to Du iiiourier's treason. The operations of Dumourier's army are not known, after his leav ing it ; it is certainly in a very dif unired wreuhed (late, and we shall not be furpi ifed to hear of its hav ing totally dilbanded itfelf. Du uiouiiei waj the very life and foul of the canf'e in which he had em harked ; and the French will not find another General of abilities and courage equal to him. Gen. Duiwourier did not propose to remain long at Mons ; he had considerable expectations of being able to collect a considerable force of French Rovalilis in a very short time, and return to some important entei pi ize. General Dampierre cook the com mand of Duniourier Vanity on his leaving it. The dirertors of the India com pany have resolved to puc up foqr millions fix hundred and seventy thousand pounds of tea at their sale in Juuc next. i>ir James Murray left Antwerp on Tuerday ; and btfides a confir mation of the failure of Dumou rier's plan for refloiing roj'aity in France, and his being obliged lo confuh his perfoua! fafety, by fly ing from his own army to the Auf trians ; brought the result of the Congress held at Antwerp on Mon day ; at which were present, The l'rince of Qrange two lons ; his Excellency Vandv Spiegel ; his ftoyal Hignnefs the Duke ot York ; his Excellency Lord Auckland ; his Excellency -Kul ler, Miniiler of Pruflia ; his Kighnefs the Prince dp Saxe Co bum'g ; his Excellency M. Mettet;- nich and his two foils ; the Count rle Staieinbeig ; the Count Mercjr d'Aigen;e,au ; the Minister of Spain; the Miniiler of Naples. The object was to fettle a general plan fur tlie prosecution of the war ; and, as i)umourier's defection bad produced do material alteration, to determine whether tlie combined armies Ihotild again attempt the in vasion of France, or confining the French within their own frontier, and cu-.ting them off from external communication, leave the restora tion of Monarchy to the efforts of the Loyalists within the kingdom, and the natural progress of discon tent arising from diltrefs ainongthe people. In a letiei from Angers in France, of a very late date, which came by way of Ortend, it i» (laced chat there have been two actions below Sau mur in Brittany, between the Pa triots and the insurgents. In the firft aiftion, the Insurgents were de feated ; in the second, which took place the next day, they had ample revenge of the National Guards ot* Argeis, whose cannon they took. This success made them mailers of the bridges of Ce, an important pas sage over the Loire, which opens thcni ihe road to Anjou, and gives them the command of the commu nication between that province and Poitou. The bridges of Ce are but a (holt difianctf from Angers. I
