INSURRECTION IN SARDINIA.
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.

In all parts of _tt»e republic, tb<src i\the .more

4n»rctrr in which plunder and tilt- overthrow of tlie

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.

March 9.
I have just learnt the most important news from
a correfpcudent, who inforovs me exa&ly of every
thing which pafles. He writes to me, that Baron
D' Ingelflrom, who arrived lately from London,
has been for some time in Paris, and is now on his
way to Vienna. 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 <to uoderlland,
that England would consent to the excision of Bel
gium ; but that he infill* upon an indemnification
tor the expences of the war, viz. Corsica, the Gape
ot Good Hope, and tie Dutch ellablilhnnJjits in
the East Indies ; to which the French govcfnrnent
would never accede.
All the rumours refpeaingthe march of a Prus

The ABBE RAYNAL died at Patis on'the

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

hadprefented an address t« the Dire&ory, tn

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."
