May 4 ; It is Hated in a Jacobin paper of "this morning,that the French executive coun cil i haw given orders to evacuate Savoy. H'lvtr this intelligence has come, is not (luted, but it certainly is not improbable, as the-French would find it difficult lon ger to maintain their usurped tyranny o yei- that unhappy country. Why this circuinlijuice fliould lead to a fepaiate peace with England, we are at a loss to jdivine. 1 Minifteis yefteiday received letters from France, by the way of Dieppe and Brighthelmlione, stating that on Friday last, the 26th inftj. the Girortd'e party had gained a complete triumph over the Jacobine faction, and that Danton, Ro befpi'erre, Marat, and many other# had been maffa'cred, that they had appointed .a„aew executive council, and that they, were in fuH possession of the government. This news Mr. Pitt lead to the commit tee aflembled for cbnhdering of the means of atMing the disordered credit of the country ; and lord Grenville mention ed it in the house of Lords ; but neither of them declared that it came to their hands upon authority that they could im plicitly rely. It is'fad that the leading members of the executive council of Fiance are well disposed to offer tenns of peace to this couqtty almost on any conditions. In all the debates in the national convention, the members seem to be particularly guarded in their expieiTi ms concerning this countiy ; anc! it is well known M. de • Chauvelin has been very ungraciously re ceived in France from the opinion entei • tained that he was too impetuous in his : behaviour towards qur court, by which ! he precipitated his country into a wai.

He writes with a facility and a force which inuft make literary compofiliou very little labor to him.
