A Canon and Curate of SafTari, in Sardinia, who have made their escape from the troubleein that is land, gave the following details: • The people of Cagljari, having mafiacred the general of the troops, as well as the Intendant general of finances, created a provilionary council .of government. They dismissed all the foreigners in office, arid only permitted the troops to remain in the island, who took the oath of obedience to the chief, eletled by the people. They Tent deputies to the King of Sardinia, to claim the rights and privileges of the Sardinians. These deputies having,returned diffatisfied with their miflion, the people resolved upon a revoluti. sn. The viceroy was received in truth, bat he was not fuffered to exercise his-authority. The popular councilcontinued, and still continue to regulate every thing ; the inhabitanla of the towns in the interior of took up arms, and refuted to obey the orders of the Viceroy. The town of Onatona adopted the fame measures ; so that the town of SafTari alone remained attached ta the ancient government. The Governor, the Arch-Bishop, and the No bility of SafTari, united to eppofe the insurgents, and twice the duke of Afinara, by dint of money, appeased -the popular tumult, which tended to a complete revolution. At length the lawyer ,Mondi ; repaired to Cagliari, and having conferred with the malcontents, retnrned to Saffarj, and persuaded the inhabitants of the country parts to second his projects. These inhabitants, tathe number of twelve thou sand, appeared under the walls of SafTari, and tried to force -one ofthe gates of the town ; but being repulsed, they laid wafie all the neighbouring country. ' i Nevertheless, the governor fearing that the peo ple, who had hitherto remained simple fpeftators, would finith by taking part in the infurre&ion, pto pofed to admit the besiegers into the town, and carried hts point against the archbishop, clergy and nobility. The insurgents were no foonerln the town, than they arretted the governor and archbishop, and sent them to Cagliari. More than 40 families quitted Saflari, and the people adopted the fame form of government ss at Cagliari. The hopes of the inhabitants who have taken no part in the revolution, rely upair the En™ glilli, who are to fend some regiments on board a Ihip of the lint coming from .Leghorn.

PARIS, Ma.c'h 14. In all parts of _tt»e republic, tb those temples of 4n»rctrr in which plunder and tilt- overthrow of tlie constitution of 1795, are openly preached. The old companions of Carrier had opened one of tht.fe at Anjjers, but General-Hochs ordered it to be clo fpd. It was the fame at Nantc*. *; V ,id March 17. Louvet, in hspaper of the 2id inft. March 11, inserted the following important'confefiion ; .1 ' " 1 fear, said he, that the smalt remains of the Jacobins of 179 1, Founders of Liberty and rhe republic, will be entirely devoured by those Jaco bins of who are the-exesutioners of there public and of Liberty." T-hefe Jacobins of I79J> executioners of thrrt public and ef liberty, 11 ill exist then to devour ! What are they ? the accomplices, the partisans, the servants of Robespierre, Carrier, Lebou, Vadiei, Coliot, &c. What are they doing ? They hold places under the government, which the miniiters have been persuaded to bestow on them. The dire&ory. theiefore, and the minifters,-have the misfortune to employ the executioners of the republic and of liberty. This is afadl that admit 6 of no reply ; it has appeared in a paper, that may be almost conlidered as official; written by a repre sentative of the people; and paid and distributed by the government ; .O Republic ! O Liberty ! are ye then deltined to be governed by.your execu tioners ? Astonelle has undertaken the defence of the preferred Journalists in the journal des JHammes Libres. He aft'erts, that the •' Enlightener," evinces the mod courageous attachmentjto thejpaufe of the people, when he constantly afletts, that the directory is a naonfter ; that all its members are ty rants more horrid than Nero and Caligula ; when he invites the atmies to quit the frontiers,and march to Paris, to overthrow the government to make a division of the lands, to "annihilate the couftitution of 1795, which he calls the Code of despotism, and to restore the fyflem of Robespierre and Sain' Miranda and Marchena, the two Spaniards, have been agam srrefhd.

The Secretary of his Majelty, the emperor lia arrived here, and there has been much fpeculatior. refpc&ing the object of-his mission. We are as sured that the court of Vienna has accepted the mediatisn of Pruifia for a general pacification ; but as it is feared the pretentions of the French Repub lic may not accord wjth the intcrefts of the Bellig erent powers, the negociationa mud neceffanly b drawn in;o length.

It is believed that he had some conferences with Mr. Pitt on the fubjedt of peace } the result of which he has made known to the French government. It is said that Mr. Pitt gave him Lieut.

The ABBE RAYNAL died at Patis on'the jth of March, The following account of'him is givei»in the London papers— " The late Abbe Raynal was in his 84th year when he died. He walked on foot to Paris it week before his death. He got a sold, which was followed by a catarrh. He kept his.bed fume days. On the 6th of March he got up, shaved and drefled himfelfi At fix in the evening he went to bed ; heard a nevvfpap'er read, and made some critical obferrations upon the operations announcad in the paper. At ten o'clock he died. The Jus. tiee of the Peace of the Section des Cbamps E lyfees did not choose to bury him until he had as. ked the government whether it was intended t'd ; pay hirrf any funeral honors. Ravnal was employed just before hi< death ofion a new edition of liis P.'ilofopfeical Hillory. He hadprefented an address t« the Dire&ory, tn tain from the agents of the republic in foreign conn, tries, the documents of whicb he stood in need', re lative to the commence of different natinnstarhe Eatt-lndia companies, a.*H some other objefls re lative to his work. The directory immediately com plied with his itxjueft, and sent the rtertfft'y orders to the French ambalTadots in Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy. " It is known that Raynal left among his ma nufiiripts, a Hillory of the Revocation of the edict of Nantes, in four \%anics ; but it is rumored, that under the reign of Robespierre he burnt part of his papers."
