Another report reached the Herald Office, late last night—that the populace, conlidenng the clergy was mod inimical to their caule, had eluded the vigjlenre of the Marquis de la Fayette, and cruelly butchered leveral of (Jut body. An order has palled the Privy Council, t’king oft the prohibition of the 15th june, 1788, on the importation at wheat into this Kingdom, fiom the United States of Ameri ca i but what avail will this be to England ? None* foi in the firft place, the Americans hdve no wheat to spare ; and if they had, all the French ports ate ready to fwailow it up a; ten jb tilings a quarter above the price of the Butnh market. • The Emperor *w*ll have to regret, to a d fiaut oay, the dismantling of nu>ft of the io:tified places at Flanders. This he did principally to weaken the Dutch barriers, and to save the expeuce of maintaining garrisons in them; but, instead ot injuring the Dutch, Ye has in the event only weakened himleif; -nd the laving will probably colt him the whole of his Belgic revenues. The Court of Vieuna has actually appointed Commiftioueri to treat with the Patriots •, they are two in number, and men of high reputation. The firft in the lommiffion is the Pi.nee de Liguc. who is at this mo ment with the army neat Belgrade, with the rank of General; the other is Count de Co benzel. All tbofe whose persons had been fecure' by government, haEe heei> set at liberty, am aflurances have been given that in future no person lhall be imprisoned but by the regular operation of law Invitations have been sent td the Chapter ol Antwerp, and to the Coiporation. to lend each of them four deputies to Bmileis. We leai n, by a letrer from Liege, tha; though authentic intelligence was receiver there,' that the combined army of the Circle had set out.on its march for that city on the 2id ule, therr fpiiits were not in the least de piefled by this intelligence; on the contrary, the Magistrates hid declared their resolution to oppose by force, had unpaved the ftteets in preparation for a siege, and had set forth in their public declaration, that they would set fire to the town in- all quarters, if compelled to qnit*it —nay, that they would nfle peri (King in the flames, rather than forfeit that liberty to wh ch they were fu juftiy entitled. By accounts fiom Copenhagen we hear that lenience has been passed on Benzieiftrefna and O’Brien. They are condemned, firft to be declared infamous, to have their right hands cut off, to be beheaded, quauered,.and their quarters to be put on poles in different parts ; befldes all their goods and chatties to be confifcated Shiells, the Scotch in keeper, who wtiis an accomplilh, is fenteuced to be imprisoned for life ; but is thought the Htgh Couft of Judi cature will foften all the punilhments. ’ His Impeiial Majelty has jult publilhed an edift, permitting 'the free tolerating of the jewilli itligion throughout his dominions. It allows all the Jews rehdihg within the limits of his monarchy the righ a of citizens" (jura avitatit.) By this ceflion the Jews have the liberty to buy and fell houses and leignortal eftates, acquire the rights of Nobility, Barons and Counts, and to aflift at the States Gene ral ; they may even poffcfs baronies having the power us juflice. 1 hey are to enjoy all the rights and immunities of burghers, and arc competent to hold any civil or military' employ meats.'. '* In coufequence of this edift, two very con siderable fynagoguos are on the poiut of being bum, one at mgWptt# mhvc AX V lih^ a befldes some other confiderablt eflabiilhments, A letter from a gentleman in France* to bis friend in Edinburgh, fays, 4< The 'irdde of Kings and Pnefts, which has so lung im poled upon the credulity of mankind, is hear ty at an end in this country, and, in iefs than half a century, you will fee it annihilated in every country in Lurope. The time- is fall approaching, when government will no longer into sere in matters of religion, and mankind will be refponflble only to God and their *on fciences for their opinions* - The United States are the first nation who .has set this glorious example, and struck off the letters which shackled the human mind.” Yesterday ieveral bets were laid on the ’Change, that the Fiench will break frith America before midsummer next, aud that the conlequence will be the embroiling this coun ry in the end. The King and Queen of France are watch ed with great nunutenefs, aud their abode every day confirm, the i«Jea of a prison, which we have reprelemed it to be. A few daysfince his Majelly wuhed to visit oue of his Cha teaus, a few leagues from Pans, but even this small gratification was iefuled to the Royal Prifoner* This sass will bell fpealr the real lituation ot the unfortunate Monarch. Mutual confidence is again restored between the Natioual Aflembly and the Provinces. The Commifliouers from Dauphiny have as sured the Assembly, that the foie intention of convoking the States of that Province, was so choose new Deputies in the place of those who had falleu in their attendance, and to make lome regulations refpcftiog the partition of unpofts. The Abbe Lseunes, Canon of Tregtiier, and M. Tripau, brother to the Canou of Kem per, are impeached; aud it is thought will expiate their treafua with their lives. The lupplies of corn brought into Paris are uncommonly great,, and yet the feat city of bread continues. There is a myfteiy in this buliucfr, which time alone can uniavel. An Irifli newspaper, after mentioning eht K wreck ot a vetlel near the Percies, rejoice*, . that ail the crew was fared, except fourhgf. team oj tobacco. _ GEORGE-TOWN, Feb. Extra a of slit trfrom a gentleman in Bout* deuux to bis friend in tbit tow»t dated A*• *vemlc.r 1789, «« The King of Pruflia has aflually declare ed war against the Fmperer and Ruffians; hisieafunis, that, if he fuffers them to dine the Turks our of Europe, (which they arc m a fair wa> of doing) the Emperor would pof. fefs two great a Weight in the political scale of Europe. Jn the upper and lower parts of Germany the citizens ace all in aims, cutting one another’s throats ; the patriots rage has spread through that country J the Emperor has marched an armed force to quell them. In Brabant, you know, the Emperor has long been attempting to ct.rb the-clergy and fup prel's the convents. However they have pro fited of the leffonsfrom their neighbours the French, and embrace the prefept moment to fliake ofTthe men. calling thcm feives patriots, are in the field ; three days ago accounts leached us of an engagement between them and 2000 regular troops the Emperoi bad sent to disperse them, to burn and deflro) every thing before them, and haug every man found iff opp*fition. They met and came to atfion between Ghent and Buiges; violent was the conflid, and great the lots. The patriots defeated totally the Imperial army, and took their Commanaer, Gen. Dalton, with most of his Field Officers,' pritoners It would tike too much paper to give a full detail of affairs in .this country ; fuffice it to fay, things are how going tolerable quier ; the National Assembly have the con fidence of the people; theiy how fit in the Paiais.de Louvre, aud have lately made two or three fundamental strokes towiirdfe liberty and feedom of conscience, the muncipalities ol the different provincesjare now modelling.
