SOCIETrOF THE JACOBINS. Sitting of the t tth Thermidor. The fitting thpj'gh fhort v wae diftin guifhcd by uncommon energy; the tribunes were not full, but were occu* pied by male »n<3 female citizen* of these defcriptfons; and many were ab sent from not knowing that the. club would hold a fclfion this day. Three representatives of the people, &Waud Vartnnes, l<egi*ndre, and CoJ lotd'Herbois quitted for a wlwle the hall <>f tile Convention in brder to reunite tflerol'elves with their brethren the Ja cobins. The firft announced that the conifuracies fa lately d'feovered gave all good • Republicans reason to rejoice in rfeiterated successes* Soon after the re porter, frorii the committee of public lafety appeared in the Tribune, and the taking of F&rt Lillo and Liege, which-had been before declared in the Convention. The orator requeued the society not to prolong their fitting, but repair to the Convention where the report was to be read. Legendre gave an account of his cpndus on the night between the 9th and i.otb, when the ci-deva.u. Jacobins revolted againll the National Represen tation. " I knew (said he) that the real Jacobins were not present at that fitting, and that those who at firft at tended had letired in disgust when a croud of conspirators were introduced without having any tickets of admission ; when the liberticide decree of a rebelli ous commune was proposed to those con spirators, I addrefifed myfelf to ten men, ■ 5 • -m* and aflced tlitm if they Would follow me ? The conpjratorsj said I, have re paired to the j3u' of the Jacobins, .and the fanftuary of freedom is thus inso le. tly beset vilcre c;iine is fuffeted to usurp the pace of virtue ; lay down your arms that y<su may be introduced : Y<Vi have onli to follow me. 1 have a brace of piftob vfitli vVhich I ihall blow oift the brainjuf the Cofinter Revoluti on ill their Prcldent, and with my sabre in my hand 1 Shall take tHe chair. As we procteded on the way, I met with a patrole commanded by a man of the naine of Gerard; an agent of Ro befpierip. I aflied the patrole where they were going ? and was answered, to the natioaal convention. You are ra ther flow, replied j ; but do you know who you f?avc jjot at the head of you ? We know him to be Gerard, a worthy citizen ! You know him not. He is a fcoundref. Arrelt him. " He was accordingly secured, and I delivered him to the care of Payan, re presentative of the people. We conti nued (Jur march to the jacobin?, but the confpitators fled and dispersed, the fitting was closed, attd the door remain ed open. I ordered t+ie doors of the hall to be (hut least the traitors should re-afTeftble, and rifle the records of the fueicty. I took' froffeflion of these keys which 1 brought ftrft to the affem biy, and feht them tct the Committee, that the hall should be open in future to . real Jacobins only, arid (nut forever to the admiflion of confpiratorfe." He then proceeded to disclose to the foctefy ani a. tJtion ginen to thefti by the joint Comn, tecs of public fafety and general iVcuutj-, not in their ofl\cial cha racters, 1~1 ! . cr Jacobins. This contai.if.i ai f/ati: r ai extwitaiuw, not to fuffdi htrfiorli .*-• jr.l any privileged, feats in theiv 1.. . "W . t fignifieS it/' exclaimed the orator, -■ whethef these places are occupied by the wife of a deputy, oi* a Jacobin, ot the wife of any bthet citizen ? We fo?m a patt of the people, and the greatefr honoV we c?n confer upon our wives', is id' admit of no dillinctioH." Collot d'Herbois wiflied the club to conlider this proportion of the conv.'Ait tees as a simple invitation, and not an order, and urged the President to put the queftiorr for aholifhing all privileged which only contributed to in trigues,and to forward private purposes, at the fame time, that equality foibade thoie feats to be kept and wait ing for then- vifjtors, while Citizens, bleeding in the service of their country, were obliged to remain at the doors. This proposition was unanimoully de- I creed. A citizen denounced from the Tri bune a mcptber of the society, who lifted a* fccratary during she nights of the 9111 and .16th, and who proposed libepicide measures againlt him for announcing the death of the confpira to'; s« Billaud Varennes and Collot d' Her bois entered fucceflively into details wlfrch served to develope the late mon strouS conspiracy. The empire was to have been divided among the triumvirate. A. Couthon vi-as to have been monarch to the South, l,epidi(s St. Juit was to reign in the north, and Catiline Robespierre to be sovereign of the center. The Comttiit.tee got much informa tion from a letter written by a member of the English Parliament. This per fon< pretending that he came to France, unable to bear any longer the despotism of his own country, yet always intro duced Into his «jn*€i fation the Arifto crais of England, without deigning to take notice of the Sans Culottes mem bers of Oppoiitiun, Robespierre pro tected him, represented him as a good { citizen, aud succeeded in obtaining for [ him a paflport to travel into Switzer land, or return to England, where he j was to have established a republic. In 5 a letter from this gentleman to Robef | pierre were discovered counter revolu -1 tionary sentiments, recommending the I reftqration of the privileged orders, and • not to place the San» Culottes upon a J level with the nobility. By the report of a deserter, it ap peared that the Coalesced Powers were irt a league with Robespierre, and would treat with no other peifon. " What a warning is this, (exclaim ed Billiud Varennes) to the French people never to yield themselves to the power of such idols. You have been fucceflively the vidtims of La Fayette, Briflbt, ami innumerable other conspi rators. Remember that the existence of liberty does not hang upon any in-, dividual, though an individual may easi ly be the destroyer of liberty. Rally round the Convention, which in the stormy season has difj layed the gran deur of its character. It will never fliew meity to conspirators, and virtue shall always be the basis of its condudt." Two hours after midnight, on the I j 29th Theimidor, when Rohefpierre was declared in a Itate of arrekatidnj the keepers of the prisons had diretliotis to receive no persons but by the orders of the Commune. This tact, Legendre said, was discovered by means of a Po» lice Commiflary, who took a man to prison ; and inltead of the usual receipt; only got an answer so the aforefaid ef fe£t The charge has been made out, and is to be submitted to the Commit tee. A member proposed that the Society of Jacobins should piefent themselves en made before the National Conven tion, to congratulate tbem on their tri umph over the opprefTors of the coun try. Collot d'Herbois supported this mo tion, but wi(hed the visit to be deferred till the next fitting when the concourse of patriots would be greater, and the diffufion of joy more universal. He then entered upon an eloquent difcrip tion of the foiidity which Liberty had now acquired in France, where conspi racy and ambition were the roads to speedy death ; where the will of a na tion mull be consulted, and tyrants could not depend on the corruption of an individual. Woe to thfe ambitious ! They are Colofiufes or Monsters ; but the Coloflns is overturned, and the Mon ster is destroyed by the invincible arm of Liberty. Frenchmen shall form one family, from the bosom of which shall the wretch be chafed who is not in love with Liberty. We are all brothers. The Jacobins are the Convention, the Convention is the people, and that as sociation will give eternity'to their free dom ! ' The proposal for vifjting the Con yention-in a mass w aa agreed to. and the procession is to take place at 9 o'clock in the evening. On the motion of Collot d'Herbois, the tickets of admifllon were ordered to be renewed. WARSAW, June 18. The Supreme council ha» published an ordinance of the generalissimo Kofci u(ko, enjoining the armed national force to penetrate into the enemies countries in these terms: THADFUS KOSCIUSKO, Commander in Chief of the armed Powers " AS the troops of the King of Prussia are now in open alliance with the Ruffians againit this nation ; as they have already pafiedthofe frontiers even which the usurpers designed to us; and as they rob us of the country in contellibly our own ; in fine as our country finds itfelf exposed to the inhu man tiojences of the enemy in this war, undertaken by us in defence of our li berty, our integrality and independence ; it becomes us so much the more to give another direction to the armed force of Our nation—ln consequence I give orders by the prcfent writing to all commanders of the regular troops, to penetrate immediately beyond the fron tirrs, arrogated by Pruflia, and Russia and to publish there the infurreftion of the Poles and to anifnate the people, abased by the yoke of slavery, to ally themfflves with Us, and to rife against their opprefiors. As I have already ordered a requisiti on of a general levy in Poland and Li thuania; by the present, I order all the commanders to penetrate immediately with the volunteersunder their command or with those peasants who can find means to escape from the tyranny of their lords, into the countries taken from Poland, and to advance even into those which have been more anciently poffeflcd by Prudia and RufSa, and to affilt the inhabitants who are defireus of regaining the liberty of their coun try. I recommend it to all those comman ders to conduct themselves as brothers with all those who are willing to second ourefforts, having no other end but their happiness. Nothing is to be regarded as a legitimate booty but what belongs cither to Ruflla or Pruflia. I declare in tlie name of the nation, which now rises against usurping and* tyrannic force punishes the traitors to their country, and which will recompense all faithful citizens and courageous defenders of their country, that (he allures to every chief, to every commander of the nati onal force, and of the general levy, in recompense for their future services, the national property and poffeflions which the nation will confifcate upon all trai tors to their country. As in fine, the happy success of their enterprise de pends particularly upon its p/ompt ex ecution, I charge all the commanders to transfer the war as soon as poflible, into the abovementioned countries. This may the more easily be effected, as by the enemy's force having entered into our country, the greatcft part of their 1 mTi —r f » own neighbouring territos'cs remaps without defencc, inforauch, that in fi,'me places there are hut few troops remain ing and in others none at all. Given at our camp at Kielec, June lOth, 1796. (Signed) T. KOSCIUSKO. LONDON, August 12. French seem to have let the op portunity pass of attacking Holland with any certainty of success— their late tie. lay we cannot account for, however in consequence of it the Dutch frontier h s been rendered impenetrable. It continues still to be believed in the British Camp, that Pichegrj has been fupercedcd in hi« command of the No then) army, being considered as a crea ture of Robespierre—the direst charge however against him is {aid to be th::t of not having followed up his late ad vantages with fufficient spirit. We are rather inclined to doubt the above statement, as it does not appear by any of the Parisian accounts, that about a fortnight finee any blame had been attached to his character. Some accounts, via Germany, fpeaic of the failing of the Spanilh Admiral Langara, with a fleet of thirteen fail of the line, and fevcral frigates, to as sist in capturing or in deltroying the French squadron in the bay of St. John, in the Mediterranean. A few days ago a poor barber wa* apprehended in his (hop and taken be. fore a Magistrate upon ftrotig suspicion of being difaffefted to his Majelty's per son and government, and concerned with divers in attempting to introduce into this kingdom, French principles and practices. The principal charge against the poor knight of the razor was that hfc had caused to be painted upon hi&(hop win dow the following words : Citizen bar ber, fh»ve well for a penny. It Was clearly proved in the comfe of tl>e examination that the prifoner'sname was John Citizen. In consequence of which, he was discharged with a iccom mendation from the worthy Magistrate, to call himfelf by fonu' other name till the French are conquered. COWES, j\i;guft 20. This morning at eight the troops for Dublin, under convoy of the Tiiton, failed, as did the troops for Guernsey under convoy of the Hinde frigate; when they came near Yarmouth the wind fhifted to the S. W. The Dublin convoy camfeto an anchor in Yarmouth Road, and the ship destined for Guern sey returned to Cowes, where they came to an anchor at half pad one. Yesterday, and not before, the 31ft, 34th, and 79th regiments embarked at Southampton. The dtftination is kept a secret: some speak of their going to Hplland, "and some to the Weft-Indies. Yesterday the 84th marched into Southampton : the 85th and tcoth, 01 Marquis of Huntley's, were expected to embark at Southampton this day. PORTSMOUTH, August 21. The undermentioned ships forming the van division of the Gtand Fleet, tVii» day weighed at Spilhead, and dropped down to St. Helena, viz. « „ T Ad. Sir Allan Gard- Queen 9 'J ner) Capt.

The other part of the Fleet, and the : Pertuguefe men of war, which are go ing under Lord Howe's flag, will go down to St. Helen's to-morrow, and will fail, it is reported, on Sunday next. We arc sorry that Admiral Murray's having captured a fleet of French Mer chant ships is generally discredited. FLUSHING. Of the armies—the latejl• Wednefdayy August 20, 1704.
