* foreign Intelligence. BRUSSLLS, June 4. WE were greatly lurprized to fee the ex-general Dumourier arrive here, at the moment: when all the world imagined that '£■ had taken up his refulence for a iong time in the mountains t>f Switzerland : but we learn, that the pacific canton of Zurich, which he had chosen for his retreat, dreading the intrigues of this lubtie politician, begged him to quit that t«rr l it<Jry. Dumourier. then applied to the Elector of Co logne tor an asylum, but the Elec tor returned this very short answer : " I cannot receive him as an emi grant ; and as a Jacobin 1 would hang him." After this, Dumourier directed his way hither, hoping to obtain permiHiori to Hay in the Lo.w Countries, on account of liis ar rangements with the Prince de Co bdul'g. Bin unfoiinnately for Dumou rier, he publifbed a pamphlet at Frankfort, entitled, " A Letter from General Dumourier to the i'refident of the N.iti ntal Convention and to this piece, was added a procla mation under the title, " General Dumourier to the French people." In this work, among other things, he fays, that not wilhing"td employ his talents to the difiriCuibcrmentof his country, he is going to employ his pen for the purpole of enlight ening his fellow-citizens and com batting the anarchists. In another part he mentions, that at the time of his fir ft proclamation, the Pjince de Cobourg proniifed to allow him ro atft for the purpose of restoring order in France —that he would assist him wfch all his troops in cafe of need—rand would restore to the lawful king of France, after the re-ettab!ifhment of the monarchy, all the places that might be taken or confuted to the Auftriatis. But that a superior authority, having ftion after obliged the Prince Gene ralilfimo to revoke his proiniie, he quitted (he army, after ftlpulating favorable terms for his companions in arms. In the course of the pro clamation, Ouniourier invites all ..French citizens to range ihemfelves with him under the colours of the x happy confutation of 17S9 —90, and 91. This pamphlet had a very exten sive iale, and made so much noise, llistt tiie government taking cogni zance of its contents, had all ihe copies found at the bookiellefs fe.z ed. ; condemned the printer to pay a fine, and had his prefies broken to pieces. We are nflured, that Dnmonrier has flnce been ordered to quit Brus sels anil the Low Countries, and that he is going to London. June 20. We had a great misfortune here 111 the military hospital of Sc. Eli zabeth, on the,xßrh. Five thoi}- faiui lacks of wheat, which had been carried to that place prelled so heavy 011 foine of the joilts that the floor gave way and fell down. The wounded men who were in their beds fuffered greatly by this disaster. There were about 400 persons in this hospital, inoie than 43 of whotn 'Were killed. They were interred this day. TOULON, May 30. Ballerot, Captain of tlie Minerva frigate, coTiv'nTted of having con fpiied againit the republic, and af terwards against a sentence pafled by a court martial, has been guillo tined. BATONNE, May iy We are here in a jno(V alarming crisis. Yesterday a council of war was held, in the prefenceof the na tional deputies, and the result was, the breaking up of the three caqjps which were 10 form a principal one at Bidart, and t'»hs fiielter this ciiy from a siege. In being obliged to take this pre caution, themoft didailrous f ircum rtance is, that a territory of several leagues in extent is to be 'abandon ed, to the enemy. Add to this, the Sacrifice of fevt-ral field pieces, which are abandoned, after having been spiked. «t Andaye. These extreme mealures announce a very weak state o.f defence.; and (hall be very fortunate if we can pieferve this place, thfc polfeHion of which is, on every occasion, so very important. MARSEILLES, May 30. A few days after the installation of the judges of the popular tribu nal, eftabliihed in this city, several persons, convicted of having levied forced contributions, weri ton denined by this tribunal to. futfer death. j * The. procurator of. tb«j,c»n»nions, who was-tried and scqoiltfed," com municated a horrid plot, which.was to hdve equalled in its execution-the infamous maflacre of .St. flarftio loinew. * _ For tbis diabolical purpose the municipal had ati e*:r?of<Ji nnry meeting, at whicli a ( ll themem bers were sworn to fecre,ty,BS tot he objetft of their intended delibera tions. V: A member now profented the in fernal project, which wast carried by a majority of vi'icis, and the purport of which was, that the city trumpets fhouhl be founded at an early hour in the morning, and a proclamation made to fiwhid the in habitants to quit their houses bn pain of death ; all those \*h(f were fufpetfted \vere to te fcondatfjed to the church of St and Fort Sajnt Jean, there to, ba cred, and their houses pUlsgejd. This flepofition made by tlie pro curator of the Commune, con firmed by four municipal ofhceis ; and an infinite nurtiber o' Bopfes were.found marked with redch*ll'. Iti coufequence of the proofs of this abominable plot, the popular 1 ri-bu nal iflued a great number of man dates of arrelt ; but a great mini ber of the confpirators-inade their escape. ■■ At the hot>fe of one of tbefe; Izoard, was found a trunk, contain ing about fifty marks of (ilver. An other confpiraior, Huge, was iin - prisoned, and his interrogation be gan to throw considerable ,tiglu on this myfteiious affair, when lie con trived to strangle hiinfelft in the piifon, with the ribbon that tied his hair. Lezard, a municipal rjfficer, on hearing ot the apprebeiifion of Izoard, blew oiit his brains at the fort of Notre Danie de la Guard, where he was stationed as a senti nel over the Bourbon family j ai)d the secretary of rtie Jacobin Club threw himfelf out of a window, and was killed on tbe fpor. We have apprehended several of the conj'pi rators, and have discovered' that the plot extended to the neighbouring villages LONDON, jnlyug. An ofiicial narrative of a late Tally from Mentz; made by th? enchj speaks of the loss 011 both fides, as very severe—The bold dellg.n of the enemy in this expedition: was no less than to destroy thd Pr'jnffian camp, and kill or carry 6fF n G<npral Kalkreoth, and his, Royal Prince Louts of Prulfia ; •in this they failed, many of them falliiig by the fire of: rheir own artillery at, Mentz, in their retreat.

J,he king has appointed Mr. Dun das President of (lie Kaft India board, with a yearly salary of 5090!. Dumourier", it is said, to America. Vh£ unfortunate young prince the Dauphin, it is said, has got a rupture ; and upon application to the municipality, they have direct ed the bandage-maker of the pri sons to attend him. Ot the other royal prifotiers scare any thing is kno,wn. Kerrand, who commands Valen .iennes, is one of the molt experi enced and bravest officers in the French service. If ilie hypocritical humdrum pro clawation, pobliflied by Dumourier, r.nder the title of an address to the French nation, be able to cloak all his wrongs, and diflipate the fears which the intrigues of the molt jeftlefs genius, and the molt cor rupted mind, must naturally inspire, we have only to remark, that clit tinguiftied scoundrels enjoy very eminent advantages bver honeit ine-n. The balloon, which some days a go ascended from Conde, had a ('matt packet, containing two letters pending to it. Ihe firft was ad drei!ed to the President of the Con vention, and the second to the Mi niver of the War Department— They limply stated— '' Citizen?, " We are fiji rounded on nil quar ters by the enemies of the French Republic. We lament recent mif fortunes. The recollection., howe ver,_of the glories of Jemappe, ani mates and inflames us with military emulation.—We are lovers of li berty, and have sworn to maintain it. Provisions are scarce, but our enthusiasm is undiminilhed. We will repel the enemy, or die in the attempt. (Signed) J. V. D. By order of the Commander." From the garrifun at Conde f May 30. " The originals are in the Prince of Cobourg's pdflifffion. The wjntt was very favorable for the experi ment ; but the balloon paving bee®: overcharged with inflammable, air, the design was rendered abortive." We are told from Brnfiels, that they have positive jnformatioif, that the Spaniards having forced the pafl'age of the Iron, after having poffe'lled themffelves of Andaye, are marching in force to Bnyonne, to lay siege to that city, which is con sidered as the only place capable ef making any refinance ; and after the reduction of which, the «!iien>y ■will have the road clear to Bour deaux. 31 ■ , Julv 7. The report of the defeat of Gaf toti gild the royalilts under his com mand, by the 'republicans com manded by general Biron, is ex ttpmely .improbable. The troops acluaHy engaged in the liege of Valenciennes, amount to iß,joC>. The covering armies under the prince of Cobourg and the duke of York, are about 80,000 more ; a finall army blockades Quefnoi, and about 4000 men are at Cotide.
