From an MngU/i paper.
MUNICIPAL POLICE.
Some of the regulations, for building
h'oufenjn Paris, would form an admirable,
precautionary police against fires.
The rooms at all the common houfei at
Pari*, have either composition, brick, or
tjrled floors ; there is no wood whatever
in the rooms, but the doors and windows;
and their apartment'are found to be as
marm, if not warmer than ours.
Houfes'deftined for lhop«, have a por
tioiT'of twenty five- sigh) arched and fe
perated from the'reft «t the honfe. Here
a loft js railed, wheH there are rooms o
ver the (hops, aboutten feet high, where
die fliopkeepers and*heir apprentices lay,
while the.relt of Jjhe.boulic i« feperated for
lodgers. " " ■ ... ■
Theie apartments itz called tntre-fols,
and thfyare O'- very aaflvenient.
All stair cases at Paris, art of stone or
brick, 'sgirded with v.owd ; and the floors
of all Ihops are;bricked, flaged or tjrled.
In Hpljand, particularly at Rotterdam,
they ,l)ave watchmen Rationed in centry
boxes, built on the top of their churches,
to give an alarm of fire, at its firft ap
pcrance.
From which circumstance*, and arrange
ments in building, similar to those in
France, fires are very uncommon in Hoj
laiu!.
J These regulations might claim the at
f tension of the legislature of my country,
' since it is an idle prejudice, that the afore
said materials are not full as warm, if
I not warmer ?r»d more Comfortable, while
they are not only fafer, but cheaper than
, wood.

ExtraS of a letter, dated Berlin, Sept.6.
At the important crisis impending on
the Polifii affairs, when people flatter
themselves to hear every moment of the
capture of Warsaw, it is nearly as tn
teretting to obtain certain information
!of what hat not been in that refpedl. A
meflenger arrived yeOerday from that
quarter announces only a sally of the
Poles luckily repulsed ; but the city it
fclf it (till so effectually defended by
general Kofciui(ko's camp, at to pre
v*nt the Ruffian army from battering
the place without molestation, the only
neant to oblige the city to furrend«r.
It was howeTer ftil] expe&ed at the
lead quarters i>f the Ruffian King, that
a favourable turn of circumftancet migh
courfc of four or five dayi.
' In myjaft I informed you, that th<
Pru films took of £Lx batter,
ies jon the 18th they took threeothert.
extending to the right wing of Kof.
ciulko's tatiip. * The Poles, in order to
retake thafc batteries, attempted a molt
spirited sally, but were repnlfed with
theiofsof 1109. men. The battle how
ever was obstinate and bloody, and our
troops paid very dear for their advan
tag-eobtained over the enemy. There
gimenti of ratamry of R«ttii,](eUwcde,
and Frsnkcnberg, fuffertd greatly. _A
report [contradicted by fame j fayt that
the people at Warsaw became enraged
at the failure of the attempted sally ; that
prince Joseph Ponisrtowflty (the Pohlh
kind's nephew) wa« in imminent dan
ger of being hanged, the populace as
cribing the ill fuccefa of the enterprise
to fane nufconduft w his leading on the
troops, and that it was with the utfnoft
exertion, that Kofciufko himfelf (hield
ed him from such fhatfteful treatment.
It it said, : the infurgtnt# in South
Prussia have intercepted a confidersble
transport of money destined sot the army
encamped before Warsaw, and taken
pofTellion of a battery that wa» to be

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
PARIS, 2<tt* August.
In the fitting of the 23d, Battere read
a dispatch from the Representative? of
the people Soubrant and Milkaut depu
ted to the army fct the Eastern Pyren
nee*.
The letter wa» dated August 14, pur
porting, that the Spanilh general, Count
de la- Urtjon t on the -day preceding,
made a general attack with intention to
relieve Belle-garde. At firft the Spani
ards obliged our troops to fall back with
fwme loss. They also gained some
heights, arid'fired 011 u« with our own
cannon* that we had there. But
I,our troop* retreated only in order to con
centrate their fcrcet,, advanced .again
and drove the Spaniard* again out of.
the batteries they had carried. At the
fame time, brigadier general Mirabel de
feated a column of the enemy, that had
advanced to support thj attack, but un
fortunately loft his own life fighting at
the head of his troops, who itvenged his
death by a dreadful maiTacrc among the
Spaniards ; th..- latter left 2500 dead on
the spot. So the intended relief of
Bellegarde blockade, proved abortive,
and we (hall soon hear of it* fall. On
the 22d, the Revolutionary Tribunal
sent Henriot, adjmnt Defchamp, to be
executed by the guillotine; he'had been
previously declared an outlaw.
The miniftef from the Republic of
Geneva desired the Convention to ap
point a day, when he might be admit
ted to present them hi* credentials. On
Bttrrere'* motion it was decreed, that
the fame formaliti be obferved,_as W33
done at the reception of the minister
from the United State* of America.—
Accordingly Stephen Solomon Rey
batz, envoy from the ruling powers at
Geneva, entered the hall attended with
his secretary «f embafly and sundry of
his countrymen, and beihg comlufted
into the centre of the hall, took hi* feat
over against the prefident'* feat.
In this speech he amongst other
things said :
A* the Convention had decreed the
rights of men to theth, it wa* reserved
to deride on the rights of nation*, and
to adopt a political equality. Of course
the minister from a small republic ought
to be received in the fame manner a* the
ambafTador of a powerful empire. Ge
neva had well deserved for the cause of
liberty. The pen of J. J. Rouflcau,
and the dart of William Tell, were two
preciou* rclick*. Rousseau he called a
herculei, who had purged the stable of
policy. Then the minister received a
midst loud applauses, the fraternal em
brace of the President, and it wa* de
creed, to cause hi* speech with the an
swer thereto, to be tranflatcd into all
languages, and printed, and to hoist the
Geneva colours on the fide of the French
in the Convention hall. It was further
decreed, that the committee for nation
al inftrudion be enjoined to bring in a
Report in the course of 10 day*, in what
manner the ashes of Rouflcau may he
translocated from his tomb at Erme
nonviUe to the Pantheon at Paris.
Durand Malliaune, Bourdon ije
l'Oile, Cambon, Brturd, and Tallien,
spoke on the ?2d amiclft many applau!
fe*, in the Convention, in favour of en
tirely re-establishing liberty of opinion,
•fth*pr«f», and Tot the yf

aim befidcs rendering truth, jujlia and
every virtue the order <sf the day, IIK |
gaining the confidence of the nation bV
showing how the people are reprefenred
by hor.cft men. To put a stop to ca.
liiithly and ill-famed reports to wLch
many amongst the deputies were tX p O .
fed, it Was decreed that all and ever*
one, who had been trailing by orders
from the public, render accounts of their
expences at the committee of the vnfpec
tor of the Convention haD, and of their
secret expence before the committee. of
finance, See.
On Breard's motion it was decreed
that it (hall not be lawful for any p n l
for whatsoever to adopt any other name
but that of hit-father.
"Let us always be atteotive," said .
Breard, " what man the person in qu<-f.
tion has been, before the period of thrf
revolution. We ought to know, how
it Come* to pa&. that a house, which
ift those day* hardly contained a bed
(lead and a chair, at present ftandsfplen.
didly furntfhtd, and, for what reason,
men formerly quite obfeure and un
known exchanged thtir proper names
with * celebrated name of antiquity.
Couthon called himfelf AriJi'tJet. Thoft
who had distinguished themselves at Pa
ris, by the names Socrates and Brutus,
were before famous for villainies, and
oame to Paris with a view to rob tha
Republic." It was then dccreed, that
the committee for legislation make pro
posals to conciliate the liberty of the
press with the present revolutionary go
vernment, and to punish calumny. Ij.
berty of the press is at Paris now a f a .
vourite object urged in ■ focietm of all
kinds, and at the Jacobins the word
.was, on the 23d of August, « Liberty
of tht Press Or death."
PARIS, Aoguft 18.
Barrere informed the National Con.
teiition yesterday, that' the fortrefs of.
Quefnoy had been taken by our troop*
on the Ijth inft. The Austrian gar.
rif©n to the amount of 3 00 men, laid
down their arms, and surrendered at
discretion. Our troopfefound in Quef
noy Auftriau and Dutch can ion,
a great' number of mulkets, 30000 wt.
powdfer, a great many cartridges and
other warlike stoves. Tlie most effec
tual measures hate been taken, to arreil
all Emigrants who were in Quefnoy*
and to bring tl>em before the criminal
Forty one of them are already
in confinement. Never did an army
(hew more spirit and activity, than that
which beficged Quefnoy., The conti
nued rain* had overflowed the trenches :
the foldicrs mean while continued the
works under a perpetual shower ofihc'ls
and bills., singing all the time warlike „
fon'gs. In a few days, added Barren;,
we hope to be able to inform, that the
Northern territory of the Republic i»
totally clcared of the enemy.
Barrere then read the following let
ter of the General of aDivifion, Sherer,
ft'ho commands the troops about Qne(-
noy, dated head quarters at Beauciigiuoi,
August 16'.
" Citizens Representatives,
" Quefnoy belongs again to the Rei
publicrYefterday afternoon'at 4o'clock * (|
3000 of the enerriy, grenaidiers, infan
try, cavalry, artillery &c * laid down
their arms. This being d6ne, the whole
garrison was marched back into the
works of the place, where I keep them
tinder a ire ft, until you fha'l have deci- ,
ded thfir fate. Twenty four compal
nies of grenadiers, and three battalions,
keep tfy* inner and outer works of the
place in pafiefQon. The arnjy which IT
honor to command, has fhrwrv
the £Teateft fortitude and spirit, during
1 the twenty days since,. when the trench
es were opened The infantry approach
ed the palisades under a most dreadful \
fire, and the cavalry made prisoners
till near the glacis of Valenciennes."
Barrere made thereupon mention of
a machine by means whereof the news
of the r (."capture of Quefnoy two days
ago arrived at Paris half an hour after
our troops marched into that place.
" A curious contrivance, which has
been invented, (aid Barrere, to transport
the thoughts by a peculiar language
from one diftancc to the other, thru ugh
machines, four, or five leagues distant
from one another, so.that the eipreffion
will get in a few minutes to a great
diftancc, does honor to this century, aud[
tfce execution of thi» difepvery it $uir
work. A trial of this invention wai
made lall year before a committee of
the Convention. These making a fa
, vorable report, the committee of public
welfare, took all poftbk- ««re ie eilablirti
