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.

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

If ilie hypocritical humdrum pro

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

we have only to remark, that clit

eminent advantages bver honeit
