PARIS, February 18.
The minitter of police has just contra
dicted officially, the rumour of the speedy
departure of the lecond acquiiition.
The following details have reached
us refpeiting the departments in a Bate
off function :
The sorest of Sretonne, in ’the depart

rendezvous t i an armed force, confiding
of horfeand loot, v/'m pi flag", afiaflinate
and lay waifeby fire and fwojd, the ad
jacent commu. es. In the department
of l’Eure, armed assemblages for the re
eftablilhment of royalty are forming :
the citizens are murdered in their hou
ses amid the exclamations of Five la roy.
Others are ft ripped and plundered of all
their property. In the department of
l'Orne,the royaliitsarein motion ; who
• ever is armed for the defence of the re
public is sure to be butchered, as arealfo
those who endeavour to establish and
maintain good order. Robberies and
murders are multiplied ; the diligences
itopped and pillaged, and there is no
longer any fecurity,either for the travel
ler or the refidenr. The department of
La Manche is equally aprey to thole Jef

plan of subduing, without delay, the re

GLASGOW, March r.
The general features, of all the intel
ligence which has been received from
the Continent for feme weeks pail,have
been strongly indicative of an immedi
ate commencement ofhoftilitics between
the Imperialiils and the French. In the
propositions which had been made for a
peace, it is said, that the French agreed
to abandon their project of making the
Rhine their boundary, and to limit their
views'to the retention of those countries
only which they have incorporated with
their own; or, in other words, that
they would keep pofleffion of Savoy,
Liege, and the Austrian Netherlands.
To these terms the allies have preremp
torily refufed to accede, and all hopes of
peace have, of consequence entirely van
ned. Both armies have been confid
erahly augmented ; that of the imperi
alists, is about to be re-inforced by for
ty thousand Ruffians.
f he allies will have learnt, with fome
degree of astonishment, and the French,
no doubt, with fatisfattion, that gener
al Clairfayt has resigned the command’of
the army on the Rhine. Whether his
iefignation has proceeded from choice;
from ahopelefs profpedl of the war ; or
whether he has been difiMded for fuf
|'fading hoftilitics, are quefeions which
j- c are not yet, and perhaps never may
1 G prepared to answer.
forty thousand Fruffiansare now ac
tually on their march to the circle of
1 ranconia, where winter quarters have
p en prepared for them. A Ihort time

R t of this movement.
Columbian &c.
The King of Sardinia has declared
that he will not make peace, but in con
junction with his allies; and while fome
letters from Itally informs us, that the
contending armies have gone into win
ter quarters, others allure us that the
war in that quarter threatens to be more
desperate than it has hitherto been.
The only article wearing a pacific
complexion, is a letter from Bafle, men
tioning, that Minillers from the court
of Sweden and Denmark, had arrived
there incog, and that foraething agreea
ble on the iubjed of peace, it was expec
ted, would soon be made public.

the house of representatives do notcia m
any agency in making treaties, but that
when a treaty ftipuiates regulations on
any of the subjects submitted by the
constitution to the power of congress,
it mult depend for its execution, us to
tuch ihpulations, on a iaw or laws to be
pa fled by congreis, and it is the consti
tutional right and duty of the house of
representatives, in all such cases, to de
liberate on the expediency or inexpedi
ency of carrying such treaty into effeft,
and to determine and abt thereon, as in
their judgment may be molt conducive
to the public good.
Resolved, That it is not necefTary to
the propriety of any application from
this house to the executive for informa
tion desired by them, and which may
relate to any comiitutional functions of
the house, that the purpose for which
such information may be wanted or to
which the fame may be applied, Ihouid
be Hated in the application.

Friday, April 8.
Mr. Harper said, he wished to re
place the resolution which he laid upon
the table fome days ago, relative to car
rying the treaties lately concluded into
effedt, with one somewhat differently
worded, which was accordingly read,
and laid upon the table.
Mr. Harper said, he thought it was
necefTary that fome notice lhould be
given upon all important fubjecds before
they were taken up; he therefore in
formed the house, that on Monday he
lhould move to bring forward the fub
jedt of appropriating the means of carry
ing into effect the late treaties.

SIR,
Reprcfer.tations have been made to
me, that the Emperor of Morocco,
Muly Solyman, (with whom the Lnit
ed States of America are in peace and
friendfhip) has teftified his displeasure,
that vessels carrying the flagot the U-
nited States, have lately been, for com
mercial pufpofes in the port Morocco,
under the dominion ofperfonsin hosti
lity with him : and that a repetition of
a fimihtr conduit may be attended with
very difhgreeable and serious conlequen
ces : I have therefore to requelt that
you will caufc the preceding informa
tion to be communicated to ail the cap
tains of vcffcls belonging to the United
States, now in the ports or kingdom of
Portugal, or who may arrive within the
fame, during the exiltence of the aitual
flute of affairs in Morocco ; and that they
may be cautioned againil proceeding in
a limilar manner : For lam of opinion,
that in case they should proceed in a
limilar manner, and lhould be captured
by the cruizers of the Emperor of Mo
rocco, Muley Soliman, neither the cap
tains, crews, vefl'els or cargoes, will be
reclaimed by the United States.
With due conlidcraiion.

BOSTON, April 1.
From Ireland.
Papers by the Franklin Capt. M‘Lel
lan, from Dublin, bring intelligence of
a formidable and extentive conspiracy,
to separate that country from England,
and establish a republican form of go
vernment in conjunction with the
French government. A partial difeove
ry was made just in time to prevent its
execution, by means of a governmental
Emissary, who had inlinuated himfe.-f
into the Councils of the Democrats.
But such was the nature of the conspira
cy, that one man could only give in
formation ofnine members, the execu
tive council excepted, which arranged
all the plans and movements of the
whole body.
Mr. John Burk, the chief of this con
spiracy and the one who was to manage
the attack in the capital, after many
hair breadth escapes, during the fp>acc
of four months, had the good fortune to
get on board the Franklin, and in her
arrived at this port. The adventures
of this gentleman, though fearcely 23
years of age, are full of the various turns
and colors of fortune. At 15 he was a
raidfhipman on board a man of war, in
which Ration he remained 11 months :
At 17 he quitted the sea and resumed
the itudy ot literature. At 18, he en
tered the University of Dublin, which
at that time did not contain fix Repub
licans, though there were 1500 Undents.
He undertook the arduous talk of Re
publicanifing the University, and abso
lutely lucceeded in his project. During
his itay there, his reputation as a man m,
feience, was considerable. At 21, he
was removed from the University by
the interference of government, under
pretence thaj he was inculcating Dcifti
cal principles, from that time till the
period of his departure he continued,
his political career, and distinguished
himielf by a number of pointed produc
tions in defence of the liberties of man
kind. He formed a chain of Demo
cratical Societies in different parts, and
connected them by a correspondence.
He was fufpefted to have opened an in
tercourse with the government of
I ranee. He is a powerful fpeaker, a
good writer, a zealot in politics, and a
great pedestrian. He had studied the
profelfion of the law, but could not be
admitted to the bar, in consequence of
his notoriety in politics.
