Plots *gataft the Convention Deputies from the fedtion of Fraternity aj*- peured at the bar, in order to denounce certain plots formed again ft the liberty and the liyes of their 1 eprefentativi s. They began by reading the following extract from their register The commiflioners charged by the general assembly of the fc & ion to examine fnto the proofs plots formed against the public fu'ety, report that the revolutionary committee of their fe&i vn have declared to them that in the aflembly held on Sunday and Monday Lift, at the mayor's house, it had been agitated to make another 10th of August bufmefs, which should be sol« lowed by another like the 3d of September: that 011 the day appointed 22 members of the Con vention fliould have their throats cut, and be afterwards thrown into the Seine, and it fhou'd be Reported that they had emigrated. The ma yor had opposed these measures; and fa id, if iuch queftionswere agitaftd, he would adjourn • che fitting. " Legifl.itors (adcls the deputation) ! in the name of France, and out of refpe& to yourselves, do not fuffsr such conspiracies to pass any long- •er unpunished. Rely 011 the energy of gOod ci • tizens. If your measures are timid, the fadti oiis will grow more bold. You yourselves will be destroyed. * " We will talce no new oath, but we will be ikafwerabte to you, our t« prefentatives." [Ap plauded ] Several members moved that the mayor of >P»d«be brdered to the bar. -Marat accused Dtifiiche Valaze of a plot; but the other produced fomc papers alluded to, by -which it appeared, that Marat's suspicions were founded-on circular letters, requiring a full at tendance of the members ef the Convention. May 24. Measures of General Safety, In consequence of the report from the extra ordinary committee of twelve; the Convention decreed as follows: Art. 1. The National Convention places the public property, the reprefenratives of the nati on, and the city of Paris, under the prote&ion of nil good citizens. 11.

On Moiitiay, May 13, Condorcet obfrrved, that it wa-in vain to diifemble any logger the clangers of the republic, the fall of whicb was threatened by an union of fanaticifm and arif- The nation had demanded a consti tution, as the sole remedy of these etib; and an efficacious one it promised to be. But this was not all, and he therefore (hould to Ins colleague , not immediately to name fijeeef fors, biit to fix an epoch when, provided their constitutional labours ftiould not be as yet ter minaced, the nation might proceed to the choice' of new mandatories, and be fatisfied that the powers of the prcfent ones were not to be-per petual. He ftiould therefore propose, in the form of a decree, h Tliat, provided the prinjafy aflenmties Jhould Hct before that time-lie convoked, to ac cept cm' refufe the constitution which m to be prcfented to the people, they are and remain convoked for the firft of the enftiitig November tfrrfecl a vew convention.

The general concluded by Juggefling, that. '* After the ccrunter-revoluiionifts (hall have I been fubdtied, an hundred thousand men may \ readily make a descent on England, there to proclaim an appeal to the English People on the prc sent war." Referred to the committee of public fafety. Choudieu, a deputy, in a letter from Angers dated the nth in ft. stated, that since the tak ing of Thouars by the insurgents, further progress had been made by them. Had they inflantly advanced, the city of Samaur must have fallen into their hands, for the panic was general, and had evtn communicated itfelf to the battalion of Rofental. Barrtre announced that the executive coun cil, con f ormable to the wish of the so diers of the northern army, had appointed over them General Cuftine. Houchard was to have the provifidival command of the armies of the Rhine and Moselle. May' 25. A decree was pafied relative to an exchange of prisoners. Lcguinis demanded to be heard.—" It is high time the Convention should purge the Republic of the remnants of Royalty which reside among them. Four Representatives of the people are worth all the Kings in Christendom. I there fore move, that the prisoners in the Temple be offered in exchange for the four Convention De puties. Hostages wiil not give force to our arms; —it is courage alone which can make us triumph " Roux opposed the motion- " It di (honours the courage of our Colleagues, who would wil lingly bleed in the service of their country." After some debate the Convention pafled to the Order of the Day. Pelc denounced the Minister of War. Genifiieux demanded a more vigorous and ext. nfive decree on this fubje<sti " All the Minillers (said ho), except h m for the Home Department, refufe to obey the orders of the Convention. I move for the removal of all the Ministers." Marat said, that the proposition of G.eniflieux had no other view than to get himfelf tle&ed to the Prcfident's Chair. All the misfortunes of the Republic originate from this cause—that e very man of abilities is bribed by foreign gold. He here paid some compliments to his own par ty. and said, they are all incorruptible men, who disdained gold—the whole Executive Council are the accomplices of Dumourier. The investigation of the eharges against the Ministry was refered to the Committee of Pub lic Safety. A Deputation from the Council General of the Commons of Paris appeared at the bar. it declared, that the imminent danger of the coun try had made the Council consider it to be their duty to declare itfelf permanent. It demanded, that the charge of plots against the lives of the National Deputies should be signed, and deli vered to the Revolutionary Tribunal, so that the culpable or calumniators, should be amena ble to the laws. It was demanded that the sen tence of Herbert, a Member of the Commons, now in th« Abbey prison, should be immediate, so that he mi«jht be quitted.or condemned. 494 The Prclident replied, " Justice thall be fpee- I declare thati/ t c city I ai (hps Mti igsinft any cum HAGUE, May 20.

Dumourier is arrived 10 piirfue the fame Coirrfe. This po litical Proteus, this unprincipled an.d immoral man, is without doubt going with his friend to increase the parry of the Republico constitu tional Smith, ci-devant Ferigord, who makes conllitutityfts in London, and dill follows his profeffion of iluck jobbing.

Amongd the many excellent l oads drank upon that occasion, the fol lowing, given by the Chairman, was received with the nioft heart felt and reiterated acclamation: " May we ever keep froin our Hearts, French Principles & French Daggers !" Immediately on the acquittal of the French General Miranda, the populace placed on his head a Civic Crown,and carried him triumphant ly to his Hotel, in the suburb St. Germain—a striking proof that the J tcnbins, lii's acculers and perfect!- tors, have now little influence left at Paris.
