By different letters from Bois-le-Duc it appears that on Fiiday and Saturday lad the French appeared within fight of that garrison, but not within the reach of cannon (hot. They afterwards fell back, but came in greater numbers in the environs, and daily attacks are made by the refpe&ive advanced pods. It appears tube decided that the pods of Boxel, and the> other places on the Dommel, are to be maintained, for which purpose some Englith cavalry ar rived in Boxel on Saturday last.

He fays, h; has madeluchfa criiices already, as far exceed the expen ces of a contingency , his troops have rendered eminent f«ivices, the expences for retaking Frankfort and Mentz, have not been made good yet; there is no army of the Empire, for the few con tingencies that are furnilhed, do not de fa ve such appellation. Besides, it was agreed, that the fnrnifhi.ig of troops Ihould be bought with ready money. The war in "Poland, excited by the common enemy, in order to prevent his Majesty From defending the Empire, ful ly dilpcnfates him fiOm it. Finally, hjs Majesty thinks himfelf entitled to de clare, that if all dates did as much as he had done, the country would have been saved. HAMBRO, Sept. 11.

Abflraft of proceedings 14 Fru&idor. The explosion of the powder mills of Grenille, which took place this .hom ing, about 8 o'clock, occafioaed many of the members to meet in the Hall within half an hour after. Voullard opened the fitting : The convention im mediately decreed that all lofTei {hould be sustained by the Republic—that the persons wounded and the parents of those who perished by this melancholy accident, ihould be entitled to the pro visions made by law for thofc who were wounded in the army. The Conventi on afterward learnt that a large quantity of powder was saved, that the danger t was over, and the citizen were eager to lend their affiitance to the wounded! The Representatives of the people v.-bo were sent to tilt feCtiois, reported tl.e moil moving traits ol' concern, of fcalt • bility and difintereftedrtefs, manlfeftcd by the citizens on this, occasion. A difcuflion took place on the organiza tion of the Police of Paris. Merlin of Douay produced a decree, which with little debate, was adopted. The (hock of this explofiqn was so great as to be felt by all Paris and its environs. In many places, the gl.ifs windows were bvukeu, and doors were thrown down. 11 Fiuftldor-, Sept, 2. Citizen Boyer, aiJ.de campt of Gen. Scherer, and Lecamur, Secretary of Lacofte, were admitted t» the har they brought the colours of the garti fons of Quefioy, Valenciennes and Con de. N. B. At the close of this session, the convention m:vde foroe changes in the committee of Public Safety. The members who are difphced are Billa'ud Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Tallien and Barrere. The three firll rdinned — Barreie by lot. They are replaced by Delmas, Merliu de Douay, Cochon and Foti.eroy. The name of Conde is changed and the city, by order of the convention, is called Nord Libre, North free, or Free North. There has been no majacre at Paris. The fleet is in the harbor; but the Moniteur of Sept. I contains a long lift of prizes carried into different ports.' In addition tt> the foregoing, we ab itradl the following general view of the proceedings of the convention. After tije blowing up of the powder works at Paris, the convention pafied a decree fov placing the police ps Paris on a better fuutiiig. By this decree, the commifliotia organized hy . tlie conven tion are inverted with'tlio cace of Pdris, each according to its rcfpeftive dutirt. A decree in thirty articles distributes to the several committees their functions in the republic. The contention have pafled a decree for fettling the accounts, and liquidating the debts due . from the ci-devant new India company eftabli(he<l by an arret of council April 14, 178.*. •They have passed * debtee for the payment of annuities due from the Re public to 40, '06 persons. Oil the ,th Sept. they burnt twenty millions of livres in afiignats, ariliirg from the fa'es of the national domains and reiepts extraordinary : this makvs the whole sum dellroyed amount to twe milliards, and 3/6 millions. The convention have also published t " declaration of the principles of a revo lutionary government : guaranteeing the rights end liberty of a citizen." By a newdecree, defining emigration all the French who left the territory o the republic after the ift of July 1785 and did not return before May 9 1792 are declared .emigrants, and pun ifhable \Srith death. All public functionaries employed b; the republic in foreign countries, w)i< do not return in three months after thi termination of their million, are deelar ed emigrants. Ninety four citizens of Nantz, wh< had fceen imprisoned several mouths were lately brot before the Revolution ary Tribunal and acquitted. * Altho the system of the present rul ing powers rahce is : 'ic and mil omparedwith that „ ~at and Ko- n M wU]h adde(U jefpierre , yet the new Revolutionary (Reduced intj a C'imedy of two art.,, 1 nhunal has begun its condemnations. i "<1 l"> r 1 The tlah at Paris and the other clubs 1 lie HUIV jDOUV . in France have laid aside the denomina- The doyrs wi!i bc n < a . hal / aftA tion of Jacobins, arid call themfeives the five, and the en tain drawn up prccifely at " Socicly of the friends of liberty and half after !ix o'clock, equality." The club in Paris occupies the fame hall and call it thecidevant Ja cobins. The fittings of this club arc employ ed in detailing flanderatid suspicions of treason ; and the members expatiate on their own patriotism and the conspira cies of th 4 Arirtocrats. From every quarter of France, thef« clubs fend ad drefies to their friends in Paris and to the Convention, demanding the blood of conspirators. A person cannot read the debates of tliefe furious clubs with out shuddering. If' we are to believe these felf-begotten centinels, France is in a molt critical situation. For they declare that treafonsand conspiracies ex ist and every moment threaten the def truttiou of the Repnhlic. But it appears the Convention are not alarmed —they proceed calmly in their deliberations ; and it is probable the (lories of the club are dellgntd on ly to answer their bloody puipofes. The following projt-ft of a decree, laid before the Convention Sept. 14, is too Angular to be pafled over. Art. 1. Every member is prohibited, ! ftitdei p«ua!ty of impvifonment till peace, 1 to use, after this day, either in reports us d:l>ites, the words invented to ex t-ite divifioi* and tronL>L'i in the Conven tion a.id Ri-publk, wWii serve to de fijjiiate parties, bodiea or fa&iuna, which tend only to degrade the majority o£ the Convenlxm a.)d the nations iuch j»ords as, the mountain, tfie plain, the mar/h, Tiic moderates, Ju;.v!>ijis, fedei alUts, mufcadins, and alai mills.

On Moudy last, the citizens of this Corpmonwiakh auembled 111 their refpeo tive towns, for the purpose of. electing Men to repi'Sfeiit them in the of the United States, for the t.rm of two years from March lifxt. An o< calion so interesting to Freemen—and made more important from the torrents of obloquy which has been poured on the eharadk'rs 0! those who now fuflain the important uifice—it was expected that a g.eueral at tendance of the citizens would L>e .given— that expectation has been fully verified— And rhe right of fuflrage was,, perhaps, n-ver more iully improved."
