Thi following ii a fhetch of "what took place in the French Convention, the day before the great exfle/lon : Wednesday, July 25. The Jacobins addressed the Conveu tion to denounce some strangers, whom Robespierre wilhed to drive from Paris. Referred to the Committee of Safety. Thursday, July 26. Tlie fitting was tumultuous. Robespierre ascended the tribune.— He said, that finee he proclaimed a Su preme Being, the inveteracy of the suc cessors of Hehert and Danfon, had in creased. He then endeavored to fliew the falfchood of a report of his propof rng - to have 30 memberß arrested—The Committee of Safety and Surety, said he, are the only pillars of liberty. The fyltem of Dumourier, continues in Bel gium ; there they are re-plantiog the trees of Liberty, they wifii to produce a change in the Republic's (ituation.— It is incumbent on the Convention to assume the dignity which belongs to its charaftei-. Bourdon demanded that this speech rtiould be infpedted by the Committees, and then publilhed. Barreie seconded. Couthori, said it would degrade the Convention to have Ipeeches tnfpefted by committees be fore printed—he moved that it be print ed and sent to the Communes. Vadier complained Robespierre had attacked in his, speech, a report on Cath. TheOß. Robespierre said he had uofuch intention. Cambon. Robespierre has brought ' a charge again ft the present fyltem of , finance, by which, he -firys, I increase the number of difaffe&ed persons. Ro bespierre replied, that he . spoke of the system only, by which he repeated, ma ny were ruined. The debate grew warm. Freron demanded the rescinding of the decrees which allowed the appre hension of member? of the Convention. Where is the man, laid he, that can speak with freedom, when he dreads an arrcft ? Varennes said if this was granted, it would degrade the Convention ; sot that was an unworthy member, who feared to speak. Permis maintained the existence of Liberty depended on its adoption. This dispute was got the better of by the order of the day—Robefpierrc's speech was decreed to be printed, and distributed. BERLIN, August 9. The Revolution in Poland. We are here in continual expe&ation of the nevtrj refpedling the result of the fjege of Warsaw, which has a&ually commenced. This siege cannot be car* ried on in form, because it is well known that the place has not any regular forti fication : however, as that part which is moll exposed to the Pruilian army is co wed by Kofciuiko's intrenched camp, it has been (found indispensably neceflary to pofiefs that firft, in order to force the capitulation of the city. The attack was made accordingly oil the 31ft of July, by means of a heavy cannonade, during which several hundred bombs were thrown into the place. According to letters from the environs o£ Warsaw, on the 3d many houses were burned in thefuburbs; but since that time, the formal bombardment has been fufpend «d. t General Kofciuiko, it is said, has 40,000 men armed, and is determined to defend himfelf to the uttnoft. The army of the Ruffian General Prince Repnin it still in Samogitic. LONDON, August 12. The Corunna mail, arrived yeftcrday brought the Spaniih official account of the battle with the French, on the 26th of Jtine, at Puycerda. The Madrid Gazette of the 22d ult. Hates the loss of the Spaniards an the above occasion as follows: Sixty-Gx kil led—forty-four wbutided—two hundred and eight prifooers or milling—Regi ments. Reyna, $3 miffing 5 Priacel l.i, 11 killed, 11 wounded, and 21 mif fing ; Cerona, 73 miffing ; Rutiim, 54 killed, 23 wounded, and 61 milling; Sagunto, 1 killed, 3 wounded ; Paifa nos, 7 wounded. Captain Efteban Leal, Sub-Lieutenat ; D. Joseph Lanza, of Princeffa's regiment; and Capt. Joseph Laerragar.of Sagunto's, mortally wound ed. Brigadier Benito Pardo de Figu eroa, Colonel of Princefla's regiment, a Captain, and four Snbalters, wounded ; and a Captain of their grenadier compa ny taken prisoner by the French. The loss to the different fire-offices by the late dreadful conflagration at Rat cliff, is not so great as might be imagined. It is computed that 250,0001. will cover the whole property insured. The greatest part of this falls to the lot of the Phoenix and the Sun. COMMOTIONS* Tuesday a Court of Lieutenancy be ing held at Guildhall, by appointment* to hear appeals from the inhabitants of this city on the new Militia Aft, the hall was entirely filled with complain ants, who became very turbulent ; the person of the Lord-Mayor was insulted, as was also Sir Watkin Lewes, and se veral other gentlemen : In a word, it was found neceftary to adjourn the Court without coming to any determination. Wednesday, about I o'clock, a mob colle&ed opposite a Recruiting-house in Shoe lane, and, after exprefling every mark of indignation against the persons employed in that service, broke upcn .the door, which had been locked and bolted on their firft appearance, and destroyed the windows and part of the furniture, the City Marshals and some Conflablcs soon came to the spot : but the principal object being accomplifhcd, the mob desisted, though they did not disperse for some hours after. A house of the fame description in Bride-lane was the next obje& of their resentment, which they attacked so fu rioufly, that in a very fliort time they left little else but the ikeleton remaining. The furniture was demolished. A par ty of the Temple Volunteer Horse ar rayed themselves on the occasion, and were stationed in different parts of the neighborhood, for the preservation of its peace, the remainder of the day. At night an immense body of the mob made their appearance in Holborn, and beset a Recruiting House opposite Fetter lane with such violence, that, had not a party of Guards arrived to ita prote&ion it would have been lord led to the ground. • In the parish of Clerkenwell, a simi lar difpoiition to riot maitifefted itfclf in the course of the day ; but no injury was fuitained. A mob on Wednesday night broke all the windows of the Raven, in Gol den lane, and the Swan,in Moorfields, and very much damaged the Rum Puncheon, in Old street, and a private house in Long lane They were all Recruiting houses. At the Coach and Horses, in Mutton lane, Clerkenwell, they were peifuaded to defilt by the landlady. Lord Hood has obtained leave, since the blockade of Genoa is raised, to let as many British men of war enter that harbour as the law of that Country will allow.

The Committee of Public Welfare have fincc defireJ Tilly to give an account of the expenditure of the 5,000,000 of specie which this agent was ordered to distribute among the poor Partricians of-Genoa. August 23. If we recoiled right, Robespierre the younger, who took his last fraternal embrace a short time since on the fcaf fold, was the gentle swain who, soon after the evacuation of Toulon, ex prefied his longings for a piece of pie, made of King's flefh—himfelf, now food for it/trms. August 25. An admiralty meflenger was dispatch ed early this morning with failing or ders to Lord Howe. The different di visions of the grand fleet will be com manded by the following valuable offi cers under his Lord (hip : Admirals Lord Bridport, (late Sir A. Hood, Bart.) Sir A. H. Gardner, B.

A division of the Bred fleet, we are now afliired, are cruising in the Chan nel, but of what strength we are not able to state. It is estimated that the number of emigrants capable of bearing arms in this countt y, and on the continent, a mount to 200,000. Important State Papers. We hatx teen fawtd with the fafttvt- Mg Official Documents for Publication. The undersigned Envoy of the Uni ted States' of America has the honor of representing to the Right Honorable Lord Grenville, his Britannic Majesty's Secretaty of State for the Department of foreign affairs. That a very cdnfiderable number of American veflels have been irregularly captured, and as improperly condemned by certain of his Majelty's officers and Judges. That in various instances these cap tures and condemnations were so con ducted, and the captured placed under such unfavotable circumflances, as that, for want of the securities requited, and other obstacles, no appeals were made in some cases, nor any claims in others. The undersigned presumes that these fa£ts will appear from the documents which he ha» had the honor of submit ting to his Lordship's consideration ; and that it will not be deetried necessary at present, to particularize these cases and their merits, or detail the circum llances which discriminate fottie from others. That great and extenfivc injuries having thus, Under colour of his Ma jesty's authority and commifiions, been done to a numerous class of American merchants, the United Statea can for reparation have recourse only to the j'.i(tice authority and interpolation of his Majesty, That the vefTels and property taken and condemned, have been chiefly fold, and the proceeds divided among a great number of persons, of whom some are dead ; some unable to make restitution, and others frotn frequent removals and their particular circumstances, not easi ly reached by civil process. That as, for these lofles and inju ries, adequate compensation by means of judical proceedings, has become im practicable, and considering the causes which combined to produce them, the United States confide in his Majesty's justice and magnanimity to cause fueh compensation to be made to these inno cent fufFereisas may be confident with equity } and the undersigned flatters himltlf, that fnch principles may with out difficulty be adopted, as will serve as rule* wheieby to ascertain the cases and the amount of compensation* So grievous are the exp«nfes and de lays attending litigated suits, to persons whose fortunes hav« been so materially affe£ted, and so great is the diltance of Great Britain from America, that the undersigned thinks he ought to express his anxiety, that a mode of proceeding as summary & little expensive may be de vised, as circumstances and the peculiar hardlhip of these cases may appear to permit and require. And as (at least in some of thtfe cases) it may be expedient and neceflary as well as just, that the sentences of the Courts of Vice Admiralty (hould be revised and cor re<£ted by the Court of Appeals here j— the undersigned hopes it will appear reas onable to his majesty to order that the captured in queltion ( who have not alrea dy so done J be there admitted to enter both their appeals ahd their claims. The undersigned also finds it to be his duty to represent, that the irregularities before mentioned, extended not only to capture and condemnation of American veflels and to unusual personal severities, but even to the imprifonraent of American Citizens to Terve on board of armed veflels. He forbears todwell on the injuries, done to these unfortunate indivi duals, or on the emotions which they mull naturally excite,either in the breafls of the natiort to whom they belong, or of the just and humane of every country. His reliance on the justice and bnevolence of his majesty, leads him to indulge a pleas ing expedlation that orders will be given, that Americans so circumitanced be im mediately liberated, and that persons hon ored with his majesty's commifiions do in future abitain from similar violences. It is with cordial fatisfa&ion that the under signed reflects on the impressions which such equitable and conciliatory measures would make on the minds of the United States, and how naturally they would in spire and cherith those sentiments and dis positions which never fail to preserve as well as to produce refpefl, esteem k friend fflup. (Signed) * JOHN JAY. London, 30th July 1794. COPY. The undersigned Secretary of State, has had the honorto lay before the King, the ministerial note which he has re ceived from Mr. Jay, Envoy Extraor diny and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, refpeft ingthe alledged irregularity of the cap ture and condemnation cf several Arr.e- ricao vefiets, an J alio relpe&ing the cir camflances of perianal firventr, by which those proceedings ar« stated tQ hive been accompanied ia fom« particular i«- itance«. The undersigned is authorised to af fiire Mr. Jay, that it is his Majesty's with that tbe molt Cjtnbhie and impartial jujtice should be done to all the citizens of America, who may in fait have been in jured by any of the proceedings above mentioned ; ——all experience (hew* that a naval war, extending aver the fair i quarters of the globe, m«ft unavoidably be prodn£tive of some inconvenience* to the commerce of neutral nations, and that no care can prevent some irregula rities in the course of those proceedings, which are uhiverfolly recognized as re futting from the just rights incident to all belligerent powers. But the King will always be desirous that theft inconveniences and irregula rities should be as tnuch limited, as the nature of the cafe will admit, and that the fulled opportunity should be given to all to prefer their complaints and to obtain redress and compensation where they are due. In Mr. Jay's note, mention is made of several cases where the parties "have hitherto omitted to prefer their claims, and of others where no appeals have been made from the sentences of con demnation pronounced in the firft in- llance. As to the cases of the JirJl descrip tion, .Lord Grenville apprehends that the regular course of law is (till open to the claimants ; and that by preferring appeals to the ,whatever circumjianccs, to procure such redress in the ordinary course of law, as the justice of their cases may entitle them to expedt, his Majesty will be an xious that jujlice (hould at all eventt be done, and will readily enter into the difcufiion of the meafuret to be adopted, and the principles to be established for that purpofc. With refpeft to all ads of pet Tonal severity and violence, as the King must entirely disapprove every such tranfa&i on, so his Majesty's courts are alwrys open for the punishment of offences of this nature and for giving address to the fufferers in every cafe, where the fa£t can be established by fatisfaCtory proof; nor does it appear that any cafe of that nature can cxift, where there would be the fmalbft difficulty of obtaining in that mode, substantial and exemplary justice. On the fubjcA of the imprest, Lord Grenville has only to assure Mr. Jay, that, if in any instance, American sea men havo been impressed into his King's service, it has been contrary to the Ktng's defite ; though fdeh cases may have occasionally aril'en from the diffi culty of discriminating between British and American seamen, efpccially where there so often exists an interest and in tenf ion to deceive. Whenever any re presentation has been made to Lord Grenville on* their fubjeft he has never failed to receive his Majeftys commands for putting it in a proper ccurfr, i:i order that the fads might be inquired into and ascertained, and to the intent that the persons in question might be released if the fads appeared to be fatisfa&orily eft»bliflied. With respect to the defirt e*prefled by Mr. Jay that new orders might be given with a view to prevent as far as it is poflible, the giving any just ground of complaint on this head, Lord Gren villehas no reason to doubt that his Ma jesty's intentions refpefting this point ire already ftifl}ciently understood by his Majffty's officers employed on that ser vice; but he has nevcrthelefs obtained hii Majesty'S permiflioo to a fibre Mr. Jay, that inltrudlions to the effect delired. . will be renewed in confcqucnce ot hii application. The underlined atailt himfelf, with pleasure, of this opportunity, to renew to Mr. Jay his afl'urances of hi& sincere elteem and consideration. * G RENVILLE. Dovuning-Streety iji Stugi'J, 1794.
