From a late jLnglyTi 'Paper.
DIF,J>—In the Fleet Pfifon, London,
Benjamin Pope, EGq. in the 67th year of
his age. Mr. Pope was not a less extra
ordinary character than old Elwes, of me
mofa.'ble memory. He was originally i tan
ner, in Southwark, and his flcck tvas
•worth' hot left than 70,c001. Though
slid to polTefs 100, cool, he had been near
ly 11 years in prison for debt of io,oool.
which his creditors agreed to take 1000 for.
His chief luxury was a pint of small beer,
which fie always examined carefully to fee
whether it as full before he paid for it,
and about tw6 penny worth of n.eat per
day. Kis tbfeefArthing candle he always
bought by weight, i. e. he had the heaviest
of eight or ten for his money. He was
never known to have a joint of meat on
h'Stable. His coat had been far years so
old antj faithful a .fcrvantf, thai it had long
wanted a nr.p. His wig Would have dis
graced a crow's reft. In his illness,
being told by an apothecary that his diflo
lution was Rapidly ipproaehing, " Well,"
said he, with a fort of lambent finite,' jn
that cafe I shall wipe off my debt of
10,0001.'' Notwitliflanding these lock
ing vices, they were mingled with fftme
unaccountable instances of benevoknee,
for, (whilst he was irt the habit of Weigh
ing his candle, or measuring out hi», fmafl
1 beer) he to the last gave weeklv orders for
j a stone or two of meat to be divided a
n 10rig a few poor house-keepers in hie

" Citizen Colleagues,
" I annouiiceto you the evacuation
of Fort LHlo. The English on their
retreat broke doivn the dykes, and in

country. They carry jwith them the
hatred and the execrations of the inha
bitants, which they had merited by
their pillage and their baseness* They
continue to accelerate their flight.—
Our scouts advanced more than ten
leagues before they fled their advanced
polts. They fccm to be taking refuge
under the cannon of Breda and Bergen
op-zoom. They left us thirty pieces
of cannon at Antwerp. We found
contiderable magazines, especially of
hay. More than three hundred indi
viduals have concealed articled belong

searching for them. To this mercan

Citizen Jacques Leemains, a merchant
of this city. On the retreat of Du

corn which were deposited in his ware

he had bought them. By this patrio

dits) —You have sent to the Ke.olnti

and the Jurymen, who with him, par
ticipated in the crimes of Robespierre.
I shall prove to you that Fouqufer is
equally guilty, for if the President, and
the jurymen were influenced by the Ty
rant, the public accuser must also have
been his creature, fincfi he drew up the
adts of accusation. I demand then,
that Rtuquier Tinvillc may be sent to
expiate in HclJ, the torrents of blood
which he hath shed." (Plaudits)
The Convention inilantly ordered

GolTuin informed the Contention,
that the inhabitants of the frontier CcSm
munes are not without disquiet at the

the United Committees, within th£
Decade following, the notification of

those perfidious mandatories of the peo
ple.
Bourdon de l'Oife, defranded the re
form of another abuse. A crowd of
excellent citizens, said he, groan yet in
the dungeons of guilt, and the Conven

of the people, by restoring thefn to
their difbacted families. He proposed,
to expedite this happy moment.
I. That the Committee of General
Safety shall liberate those imprisoned
as suspected, whose detention has
not been oidercd by the law of Sep

citizens of Arras. Upon quitting that
commune, the lith of the month, Jo
seph Lebon promised to return in fix

long perfecuted.—Referred to the com
taittees.
Chailief here informed the Conven
