B O U L O G N, July 31. We have had great commotions here. Four Koufes were totally destroyed, and the Com mandant of the town, with some General Of-/ ficers, &c. have been very roughly handled by the populace. The Commandant i£ now confined to his bed, in confcquence of the wounds which he received from some Hones which were thrown at him. The Intendant had a narrow escape; he was overtaken near Ofchico, on his flight to t>buai, aud obliged to make a precipitate re treat from his carriage, and Ihclter himfetf, •with a servant who accompanied him, among the growing corn; when, night coming on, the search for him was difeoutinued. His deputy’s house was destroyed, and his cha teau had afterwards the fame fate. He is /aid to have returned thither, aud perithed in the. ruins. , , The soldiers heVe espoused the popular catile, and contributed much to the deft ruc tion of buildings/ &c. belonging to those who* had rendered themfelve3 obnoxious. Among thel'e the house of Martel (who was reckon ed immensely rich) is rafed to the ground; his books, papers, and even his money, were scattered about the ftreetfc, or thrown into the river. ‘ L O N D' O N", July 20—21. CCMMOT IO MS IN FRANCE. Aln Hen tic particulars. Ycfierday morning a meftenger arrived from the duke'of D'orfet, with dispatches for the Secretary of State. These, however are so loose and unfntisfaddry, that we must offer to our 1 eadeis the intelligence we received from a French gentleman of rank, who will not permit us to tife his name : but from this authority, we pronounce what we have to offer as authentic. So Uniform was the spirit of revolt among the people, that the foreign troops round Pa ris and VciiaiMes, broke ground, and have retired to. Sens. —The Marfchal de Broglio withdrew from the field, and fought an audience with the King oh Thursday last at midnight, at which interview lie supplicated Ids Majesty to confutt with his Counfellors on some means to flop the effufion of blood, which threatened to deluge his dominions.— JV’onfieui wa* present at this interview, and eo-opeiated wall the purpufe of Monsieur de Broglio~fdr the picture which presented it felf was dreadful f—Everv Burgeon in Paris aud the neighbouring towns were in arms, and with them, two.thirds of the army were incorporated. . (he Marqui* «l» U Fmnt, of American •nfmmy, was commander m chief ; and the 4 t mo st regular rlifcipline and order was submit- i t«(J to and prcl'ei ved through a body, of near one hundred and forty thousand men, in all refpefts well accoutred. The Duke of Dorfet reports, that so sacred were thcfe proceedings that fume ot his do meilics were compelled to go abroad, armed like the Bourgeois, with belts and mufquets, before he could obtain the least knowledge of their purposes. The other authority on which we go asserts, that the fame recourse was at tended with danger to several, who were fup poied to be the Queen’s spies. They were hung up after a very summary trial. Several who were detested among the citizens in ads of theft fuffered in the fame way.—A regular pay was fettled, and at fixed times.— Corn, in certain proportions, was delivered with the fame order, und every departure from the conditions laid dowu, failed not to meet punishment. The governor of thfe baftile certainly fuf fered death in the manner related in the He rald of yefierday, but the lieutenant of the police escaped. In carrying the baftile, 300 were killed aud wounded, besides thcfe who perished through the artifice of the Governor. Four Bate prjfoners only were found within these walls; one of them was named White, a Scotchman by birth, and who, after a cap tivity of thirty-seven years, appeared to have loft his mental powers, and even the verna cular founds of his language. • The baftile is raised to the ground.—Not a stone remains of that once horrid edifice which to a Frenchman’s eye, was what the inquisition is in Spain ; —and the extife-oflke in England. The Duke d’Orleans appears inr all the meet ings of the higher order of the people’s friends, and is deemed the faviour of France ! The king, convinced that all the power he possessed, was a vapour opposed to such “ strength of spirit” as appeared among his people, arrayed himfelf in a humility that be came hifft, and religned his person, his dig nities, and his prerogatives, into their hands! He entered the national afl'embly, leanihg on the arm of his pa riotic brother, Monsieur; and threw himfelf on the affections of his fubjefts! They received him with allegiance and j and a guard of 12,000 of the Bourgeois, tendered their fervite to protest their “sacred king”—for fush they Ailed the diftrefled monarch. The Queen is not gone off:—for an at tempt to escape, would certainly experience a fatal interruption ! —She remains immured at Versailles—The count d’Artois, if in France, is also concealed —some alledge he has reached Spain;—others aflert this to be a defufive report. We arfe happy to declare, that there has not been airy action between the foreign troops and the populace, except a few skirmishes in" Paris of no great moment. The report of the camp of the Due de Broglio having been' attacked and put to flight, was without autho rity.—His troops it was well known never meant to maintain an atfion. Broglio is not with the force’aPSens, nor cam they be heard of. In this state of affairs, the National Af-’ fembly continue planning the principles of a Government, to approach that of England as fat as circumstances and localities will admit. The King approves the outlines delivered 5 and Paris at this moment i,s in smiles. 24* The riots at Paris and Verfaflles are at an end, but in the'proviuces they are at a very alarming height. At St. Germain en Laye the mob have tak en a miller, named Sauvage, tried and con demned him, and made a butcher’s boy cut off his bead. Thirteen transports, laden with provisions . and rtores for the use of the Swedifti arniy, have been loft on the rocks near Norkoping. Oue of these vessels had on board the medi cine cherts destined for the use of all the (lup3 composing the Royal fleet at Carllcrono. The following promotions have taken place in Ireland, viz. Earl of Gland ore, Mafler of the Rolls, vice Duke of Lei lifter, Earl of Bcllamon:, Joint Poftmaftcr Gene ral. Robert Johnson, Esq, Mafler of Dublin Barracks. 15. During the late tumults in Paiia M. 1 .abut, a private gentleman, gave 500 coo tivies tv aililt the Patriots, and at the fame " *-* V 'S time offered his five children as volunteers in the cause : * f The Algerines have taken eight Frenrh vtf fels, two of which belonged to Marseilles ; they fold the crews and cargoes, and behead ed Capt. Almete’s mate. The Chamber of Commerce have sent an express to rhe French Court refpefting this matter. The Algerines have also taken a Spaniard with 5000 ducats on board, and a coasting tartan laden with wood for the King’s account. 27. The Minister of Denmark has form-* ajly notified to the Engliih, Pruffian,and Dutch Ministers, at Copenhagen, that his matter will observe the ftrideft neutrality, on condi tion that England, Pruflia. and Holland, ex ert their best endeavours to mediate a peace between Russia and Sweden. 28. No lets than 300 persons are employ ed in demolilhing that once dreadful fortrefs, the Baftile 31. M. deCrofne, the Lieutenant-Gene ral of the Police, hanged and beheaded in several papers, on the firft burtting forth of the diflurbances, on Wednesday last arrived unhurt at the French Ambaflador’s. Extract of a letter from Vienna , July 15. “ By an express arrived here yeflerday evening from Field Marefchal Loudohn, dat ed at the camp before Turkiih Gradiika, we leam the joyful news of the surrender of that important fortrefs to the arms of his Imperi al Majesty on the night of the 28th inst. “ Uri this occasion a Gazette Extraordina ry has been.publittied, in which all the ope rations of the liege are detailed., , “ After ay unremitting fire from our bat teries, the garrilon perceiving the breach al most practicable, and that, from the excel lent position of our army, they were preclud ed. from every chance of 'being relieved by. their countrymen, determined to abandon the place. “ Their retreat was firtt noticed by his Ex-, cellency liimfclf, whp, happening to visit the trenches that ev'ening, not only perceived that' the enemy encamped in the woods were in mytion, but that the besieged had escaped with their baggage and joined them. “ On this a detachment of cur troops were 4 sent to take poflelfion of the place, which they found deserted ; a second was ordered to pur fuethe fugitives.” Particulars of the Demolition of the Basile, by a gentleman *ivbo took fart in that affair. Happening to be in Paris some time previ uus to the memorable 14th of july, and hear ing, on the morning of that day, that several, people had been killed at the Baflile, through the treachery of its Governor, and that it was in consequence besieged, my curiosity led me to the place of a&ion. About 3 o’clock an irregular anddilorderly attack commenced, for the Burgefies, though brave and willing, were then undifcipljned, and only three gen tlemen atied as officers. I could not but condemn their mode of procedure, and from fom2 experience I have in taftics, I thought their endeavours would prove fruulefs. A gentleman, who appear ed to be a principal in the affair, entreated me as a patriot, and (as he thought me) a military man, to take the command of some fufileers, &c. I complied with his with, and joined the party, then attacking the draw bridge, &■ c. At about half part three, the Governor’s house and the building near the bridge were set on fire. Some field pieces being brought, we battered the place, keep - ing up a brisk fire till about five o’clock, when a company of the Gardes Francot/es came to afiift us with more and heavier.cannon, with which we fortunately thattered the fmal! drawbridge, by which means the people came in crowds, so that in ten minutes we had thousands who thought more of plunder than of endeavouring to feegre the villains who defended the place, vvhich cijcumttance gave many of our enemies an opportunity of .deal ing being hanged with those who were taken, by mixing with the crowd. We found the Governor concealed ; five of us dragged him to the Place de Grcve, (the common place of exc ution) but with fume' difficulty, the mob attempting to kill him as ’ he palled along. Being arrived at the Greve, a Imall ring waa made, and a grenadier, who had afiifled 111 taking.and bringing him there., drew his fibre and fevered bia head from hie body, The grenadici’a reward was the Croix de St. Lbuil and (he Red Ribband which (he
