EVER fiuce the la'.e au .ances of <
the Carmagnoles we have been un-ceaf- <
in'dy in more oriels alarm: for their 1
piquet 3 and their cavalry hae beer, ort
the north fide of 'i'lKiurout. -
On Tfturlday night fear was at its
l»igi»ett. Three dtipatches in tVe flight, |
at difiV: . it t'ir.es, came to our excel-,
lent Commandant, Col. Stuart. In,
the rtioniin;r a circular notice was tent
to the leading people, merchants, &c.
fuhftantiaßy thus : That they had bet
ter remove what valuable property they
might not directly want; for though
there was tin immediate certainty of an'
attack, it was ilot easy to aflnre the ut- (
ter abfenceof all danger, as the French 1
had advanced a little.
In consequence of this alarm, much'
property and many people did remove. I
Perhaps one third part of the town,'
even the Inns, particularly kept by'
the Britilh as Bankers, Sic. (tripped 1
their rooms, and literally sent off their'
furniture. The removals ware to Fluth 1
ing ; of above sixty vessels that were in l
the port two days ago, there did not re-1
main ten.
To-day, between four & five o'clock,J
as soon as the tide would let them, the l
Trai.[ports entered with titer convoy, 1
all fafe'i mating, with a Dutch (hip on'
two which had joined them, thirty nine c
fail. The reinforcements they bring
were very timely.
The inundation failed, the tide rising '
less than was imagined—less by three 1
feet. A small spot is under water, but •
not where it is, or rather would have -
been wanted. A new opening has r
been made to try if inundation can be
practicable there, viz. about half a mile
from the town, on the S. S. E. fide.
On the iide towards Bruges and towards f
Ypres. c
At high water, at least in spring
tides (which are coming on), thewate. t

above the level of land.

to be a spy, was taken up, and after a.
long examination, sent to prison.
At Ghent every thing is at present.
quiet ; but there is a leaven of difcon-.
tent and democracy working in the,
inhabitants so strongly, that the army
at Bruges is hardly a security for their
iuture good behavior.
At Brussels all is well, though the
Out polls and advanced parties of the
enemy have once been within seven or
eight leagues ; and firing, as the fay,
has been heard. If not checked upon
the Sambre, their next visit will proba

Pitt declined giving them any advice as '
to executing their orders: He said, he c
was happy in being able to allure them,
r that the Governments of the two Goun

i deritanding; but it could not be conceal
ed, that Jacobin dodtrir.es had made theii

, No official ac counts have yet been re

ever is generally credited. Indeed the
" place had been given up as loft, from the
time that it was known that both general
' Clairfayt and the Duke of York had failed
lin their attempts to relieve it. The only
, thing surprising, supposing the event to
f l ave taken place on Tiiurfuay or Fri
day last, as some of the letters from Of
j tend have stated, is that the French did
not put the truth of the intelligence be
yond the poiiiuility of doubt, by imme
diately visiting Oltend.

French with his whole force, with a view !
to relievi Vpres. lie at firft succeeded in (
driving in the otitfide polls, and took ten (
pieces of tanllon,- but the enemy's numbers ,
wert so superior, that he found it im
possible to raise the siege, and was at last '
obliged to retreat Vith fomc loss. '
This evening we had half a dozen of
horse races in front of the British encamp- i
nent, different officers riding their owr.
horse*. The Duke of York and Princt
vVilliam of Gl°ucefter were prelent, witi
near 200 officers of all ranks.
Sunday, June 15.
This day we are informed that Gen.'
Clairfayt again attacked the French yes
terday, but with as little success as on L
Friday ; and that he has in consequence c
nven up all hopes of being able ,
iieve Ypres. In these two a'.tarfki be
ioft more than two thousand men.
Here all has been quiet to-dky, ex
cepting a little of the attack on our
out polls, which is hardly ever noticed c
by the arriiy.
This evening we had hcrfe-racirg a-'
gain in great perfection, attended by 3
or 400 officers mounted, and betting in 1
high fti'e—Even the private soldiers,
who thronged round the course, had
their pints of gin depending on the dif

We flopped the prels to fay, that a
gentleman in town has received a lettei
from the Commander of Ollsnd, dated
Monday last, dating, that at this time
the French were within seven miles of
this place.
Dispatches have likewise been receiv
«d from the Duke of York, but the con
tent* have not yet transpired. It it
liowever reported, that our army has
been obliged to fall back.
Yesterday government dispatches were

mention, that two Englilh frigates had!
fallen in with a French ship of the line,'
Carrying 74 guns, which the fleet un-!
der the command of Lord Howe had
crippled on the ill instant. The two<
English frigates carried her into that',
port.
Government have given order foi the
sum of sixty thousand pounds to be im
mediately iflued, tor the payment of a
part of the prize money, to which the
tailors in the late naval engagement be
came thereby entitled.
Nine geld medals, with chains, were
sent off to Portsmouth on Tuesday
night: which are intended as a mark of
honor from his Majesty, to nine Cap
tains of Lord Howe's fleet. They will
be presented to them on the King's ar
rival at Portsmouth.
We have the pleasure to inform our
readers, that all differences between this
country and America are now in a fair
way of being amicably adjusted.
An official letter was yesterday sent
to a gentleman in the city, belonging to
the committee of American Merchants,
dating, that all communication with
America, both of a private and com
mercial nature, might be again renewed,
without the leait restraint—" matters
being so far fettled with Mr. Jay, as to
■ insure a final, and, it is hoped, a perma
nent adjuftmentof every misunderstand

. two countries."

Out of fifteen hundred piifoners al

that such should be released, as would

four accepted the offer.
On the 6th instant, a great number <

By an American gentleman just ar

cleansing this harbour for the reception
of large vessels : during last week \wo
frigates were laui.e ed, and manyotherj

corn, is incredible.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Jane Ij.
Elias Lacofte brought wp a report,
in the names of the committees of ge.
neral surety and public fafety, relative to
a confpii acy which had existed until now
against public liberty, and which had for
its object, to re-eitaitblifh monarchy on
the ruins of freedom.
Batz, he said, was at the head of
the foreign fa&ion, which dire&ed this
conspiracy: Rohan, Rochefort, the
prince St. Maurice, &c. &c. were his
accomplices. Comte pafied to and fro
between Torin and Paris, and con
ducted the correspondence of the emi
grants.
The confplrators were accustomed to
aflemble in a pleasure-house at Charoo
n« : they had apartments at Paris, and
agents who bought up the money «nd
aflignats with the royal impression on
them; corrupted the municipal &
' commifiioners ; delivered them paffporti
1 and certificates of rcfidencf, under co
• lor of which the emigrants were ena
bled to re-enter France, and take pof
: session of their property.
Their firft plan was to deliver Marie
Antoinette (the late queen) from the
temple ; they carritd on a correfpom'-
ence with her, and were connected with
Danton, Chabot, Fabre D'Sg' itine,
and Julien da Toulouse, who had en
tered into the plot.
i They kept up a correspondence with
the prisoners confined in the vatious
houses of arrest, whom they were a
. bout to enable to escape, at the tin:e
] when Hebei t and Danton were punifii
- ed. They introduced falfe aflignats,
: and had considerable sums at their dis
posaL On these proje&s proving abor
: tive, they had recourse to aflaflination :
t Roufell was connected with Amera!,
and several others. "You will un
doubtedly deliver up, (continued the
-Orator) all the e ruffians to the sword
sos the law : they alone directed the
s'poignards that were lifted against the
, Representatives of the people-: they
- are at once the authors and the agents of
f the foreign faction. If Batz has efcap
i ed by flight, his accomplices, at lealt,
. will experience the punifnment due to
t their crimes. Those morfters were not
at all difconcertcd at having failed in
their firft attempt—Collot D'Herbois
; and Robefpietre were to have been as
- faffinated a fecund time."—(A. (hout ot
i horror-
Lacofte then read a declaration, prov
ing this last aflertion. It appeared from
s it, that a pcrfon of the name of Cardinal,
i who at his house boarded affjffins bom
'different foreign countries, had exclaim
- ed, " that if he could have fonnd a man
ias resolute as himfelf, the deed would
rhave been perpetrated long since, and
ethat the French were cowards to per
fmit Robespierre to tyrannize over
them." Cardinal, he added, had been
earrefted. (Loud plaudits.)
The National Convention immediate
-ly decreed:

Tribunal (hall immediately try Ameral
