Letters by the last mail received from

every thing is in motion. The inhabi

and preparing to leave the town en the

which there is now no adequate force in
that quarter to prevent.
THE CONSPIRACY
AGAINST THE LIFE OF TKI KING.
To the particulars of this infernal
plot, given in our paper of yesterday,
we have but little to add. The niimber
of persons accused of being concerned
in it is only four, the whole of whom
are now in custody.
John Smith, Bookseller, of Portugal
street, Lincoln's inn fields, was taken
intocudody on Sunday night, charged
with being a principal in the conspiracy,
and was yederday examined before the
Privy Council, as were also those ap
prehended en Saturday night, as dated
in our lad; all of whom were remanded
to piifon, and ordered to be brought up
again this day, at eleven o'clock.
The name of the person wfio has
turned approver is Upton, by trade a
watchmaker. He yederday laid before
his Majedy's Ministers a model of the
dreadful inllrument with which the me
ditated murder was to have been ef
feftcd.
The following is a lift of the Con
spirators :
La Maitre,
Higgins,
Smith,
Upton, approver, and, as it appears,
never seriously involved in the plot.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 28
A gentleman of refpe&ability, of this
town, padenger in the (hip Richmond,
44 days from Liverpool to Norfolk,
arrived yederday in town and be
sides the following information, kind
ljtprefcnted the printers of this ga
zette with the London Chronicle, from
the 7th to the 9th of Odtober, from
which they have extra&ed as much
as time and the limits of their paper
would permit.—The information al
luded to, as given by this gentleman,
is, that some time previous to his
leaving London, (which was the 10th
ult.) he had been in Holland, and
that frotn his own observations on
the desperate situation of affairs in
that country, he entertains not the
~ leall doubt of its being entirely in lie
pujjejjion tf the French. He also in
forms, that Mr. Jay had sent impor
tant dispatches by the Pigou, which
were of the most agreeable complex

St. James' portended the most amica
ble adjtiftment of all differences be

them from Kaiferflautern, and all their

the French-were still continuing to pur
sue and attack the Auflrians wherever
they could overtake them, with the
evident intention of driving across the
Rhine all whom they could not deflroy
or take prisoners.
It is said that preparations are mak
ing for the departure of the Stadtholder
of the United Provinces for this coun
try, and that part of his effedte have al
ready been sent off.
The Stadtholder has gone in person
to the Bommel to take the neceflary
measures for preventing the enemy from
crofling the Maefe.
We are adured, that the fortrefs of
Crevecoeurhas been retaken by dorm on
30th tilt, by the Heflian and Dutch
troops stationed on the Isle of Bomrhel.
This fact reds upon the bed authority
from the Hague, and is generally believ
ed by the Dutch government.
We can pofitivelv contradict the idle
report of a French commiflioner hav
ing made his appearance at the Hague
or Amderdam.
Tallien, in consequence of the at
tempt to adaflinate him, seems to have
regained much of his popularity, which
was evidently on the decline. His par
ty, however, has little weight in the
convention, and is modly expelled ftora
the Jacobin club; but they continue
to inveigh againd Barrere, Collot d'
Herbois, Levafleur, Dunhem, Carrier,
Vadierand Billaud Varennes, the three
latter of whom are leading men in the
Jacobin club.
Yederday several persons of didinc
tion arrived in town from Holland.
Great numbers of persons were on the
eve of embarking for this country as an
asylum.
General Clairfayt is now at Cologne,
against which the enejny zrc said to be
advancing in great force, on the near
approach of whom it in thought he will
pass the Rhine; not judging it prudent
to rifle another engagement in the pre
sent reduced date of hit army, with such
an immense fuperiorityof force as is op
poled to him.

" We loft not an instant 4n executing

Forty-two battalions, with a proportionate
number of squadrons, were detached un
der the command of generals Sherer, Mar

NamurandHuy. Frc m the 13th the pas
sages of the Ourte had been forced at Dur

clear the Aywaille river, the banks of
which are defended by remarkable steep
rocks, and which affords hardly a practi
cable paflage for the infantry. The ene
my, with 18,000 men, occupied two
camps on the right fide of this river, the
one at E neur, the other at Sprimont. All
the heights were covered with redoubts ;
and after forcing a paflage, we must ne

the fire of a flanking artillery, in order
to gain the summit of the mountain ; ne

" Citizen Representatives,
" La ft night, the enemy quitted the
camp of the Chartreule The immenf?
ruins which had accumulated at the
gate of Liege, and which we had to
away, prevented us from marching
in plirfuit, till eight in the morning.
We have, however, brought in a num
ber of deserters. The loss of the eue
my has been much more considerable
than I at firft stated. The accounts
given by deserters, agree in faying that
there are regiments with only 190 men
left. As we have been the whole day
in the pursuit and in making new dispo
sitions, I cannot obtain circum.'lantial
details of the brilliant a&ion of yefler

Gillet, representative of the people with
the army of the Sambre and the
Meufe, to ths committee of public
fafety.
Head-quarters 91 Liege, Sept. 19,
" I informed you, this morning, that
the enemy had abandoned their camp at
the Chartreuse. General Jourdan im
mediately directed two strong columns
of infantry and cavalry to pursue them,
the one by Liege, apd the other by
Bife. The cavalry made a number of
prifonets. Scherer pijfhed his advanc
ed guards to Verviers. What 1 told
you of the battle of yesterday, is far
(hort of the truth. The enemy left
more than 2000 men on the field. Se
veral of their battalions are reduced to
150 men.
Their lofa in artillery is much more con
siderable thnn we at firft imagined. To
day we have found several pieces of can
non and ammunition waggons in .the ra
vines and woods. In a Word, the army of
Latour seems to have all its artillery.
To morrow the army makes a general
movement, and we lhall do every thing in
our power to take advantage of our victory
wit hout hazarding a rpverfe of fortune.—
The prifoaers and defcrters allure us, that
the language of the Auftrians is much
changed. They are weary of the war, and
wish for nothing so much as a fpcedy re
turn to Germany. We have seen Latour's
carriage, hisfecretary, and his papers.
