WARSAW, July 20.
The fate of Poland seems unchangeably fixed.
On Monday the 15th of July the deputies held
their second conferencowith the Ruffian ambaftador,
and delivered to him a memorial, which they re
quested him to forward to the empress. 1 his he
absolutely refufed to do; and in a note which he
Sent to the diet, accompanied by menaces, he in
filled on the signature and ratification of the treaty
of alliance and commerce between Russia and the
republic, and that the deputies ihouid be invested
with full powers to do the fame.
In the session of the fame day (the 15th) when
the note was read, the diet consented to the proro
gation of the session till the 30th instant; but re
fufed to comply with the wilhes of the Ruffian am
baflador refpe&ing the treaty of alliance. This
treaty, a plan of which the deputies presented on
that day to the diet, confdts of ten articles, and
contains some advantages at the expence of some
facrifices. The Polilh nation may chufe the form
of government which it conceives best adapted to
its ir.tcrefts, except that of the 3d ot May, 1793;
but the briftS of the advantages to be granted to Po
land is, the complete and full ratification of the
treaty of partition between the courts of Peterf
burg*and Berlin, in its full extent, as was required
on the 9th of April. #
In confeqncnce of the refufal of the diet to ac
cede, the Ruffian ambaflador, on the 16th, sent a
note tantamount to a formal declaration of war.
He fakl in this note, that ur.lefs the deputies were
inveflrd with the authority required on the 17th,
he ihouid lay the estates, pofl’effions, and habita
tions of the members of the diet under a military
execution; and ihouid the king adhere to the op
j)ofttc party, the royal domains would be treated
in the fame manner.
The diet, in consequence of these menaces, by
the advice of the king, who saw with grief the
danger of a vain resistance, at length yielded, and
the resolution was carried by a majority of 69 to
•20; but a number of proteils were entered on the
occasion : Poland mull therefore submit to its fate,
amid ft the absolute silence of all Europe.
The city of Grodno is closely blocked up by
foreign troops, and no one can quit the city with
out a paflfport from the Ruffian* ambaflfador, not
even to take a walk. Count de Sievers has offered
the foreign ministers their paflfports; but the di
plomatic corps have refufed his offers, as contrary
to the liberties and refpeft due to their character.
DURLACH, July 27.
This morning the cannon were fired all along
the Rhine, on account of the surrender of Mentz.
In the afternoon we heard a moil serious canonade;
and this evening we received intelligence that the
French had been beaten by the Germans, near
Reinzabern. They loft their whole camp and hag
gage. A body which came to their aflillance, was
also beaten, and the enemy were driven beyond
Landau.
MANHEI M, July 30.
Two couriers have just arrived here, by different
routes, with the interelling intelligence, that veller
day general Wurmfer attacked the French army
encamped in the environs of Landau ; and that he
beat and dispersed them in fitch a manner, that
they Were unable to rally, but at a great distance
behind that fortrefs. In consequence of this happy
event, general Wurmfer has got a footing on the
French territories near Landau, which he has en
closed on one fide till general Kalkreuth, who is on
his march, shall arrive to invest it on the other.
We are informed at the fame time, that the Prus
sians who advanced into the duchy of Deux-Pouts,
have gained also a signal advantage over the enemy,
whom they pursued beyond the town of Deux-Fonts,
to the distance of nine leagues from the field of
battjp. Another courier, who pafled through this
town with di,'patches for the prince of Wurtemberg,
reports that he was an eye witness of the battle ;
and the defeat of the French was so complete, that
deserters were arriving in great bodies at the Prus
sian cainp. . ..
Head-quarters of general Wurmfer, July 29.
The t enemy having forced the posts which the
Prussians occupied at Romberg, and taken posses
sion of the heights, in order to turn the right
wing of the army, general count de Wurmfer re
solved to attack them at four o’clock in the morn
ing of the 27th, with the left wing of the Imperial
troops, who advanced in two columns, each con
lifting of two battalions of infantry, and two divi
sions of cavalry. The enemy, notwithstanding the
excellent position of their batteries, were driven
from seven redoubts, and obliged to retire to Li
ft igen, where they set fire to a ccnfiderable maga
zine. They afterwards covered their retreat to
Weiflenach, by a battery of 14 guns. They aban
doned all the heights and all their posts, and the
Imperial army occupies at this moment the best
pohtion.

Augujl 23. In the last fitting of the Jacobines a
debate took place on the danger of the country.
Citizen Chaumet pronounced a long difeourfe on
the means of preferring both our liberties and the
republic. He eppofed the measure of railing fpon
tanf'eufly 25 millions of men, but demanded that
the different Cantons furnifh 24 chofcn men each.
At the fame time he proposed that a petition be
sent to the Convention, to obtain the banilhment
of all Aristocrats and fufpe&rd persons from France.
This motion was unanimouily adopted.
The people crowd round the doors of the

in the evening. We can justly use the old Athe
nian adage— i:m et Circenfes.

LONDON, Augujl 20*
Letters from Paris state, that the Queen has un
dergone three different examinations, with an in
trepidity, a presence of mind, and a precision in
her answers, which {truck amazement and com
pletely difeomilted her Judges. Unable to find
her guilty in any refpeft whatever, they have or
dered her to be removed from the Conciergerie to
a more decent place of confinement, and her cause
is taken from the revolutionary tribunal, and re
ferred to the committee of public welfare. We
hear that a considerable party is endeavouring to
save her life, while another, of no less conse
quence, to use her only as an inltrument to check
the progress of the Austrians.
Two couriers are said to have been sent by the
National Convention to the Prince of Cobourg,
witli a view of commencing a negotiation concern
ing the Queen.
By these couriers, it isafferted, that the Nation
al Convention have written word to the Prince of
Cobourg, that if he should advance farther on the
territory of the Republic, the Queen should fuffer
immediate death. The prince is said to have re
turned in answer, that he commands a victorious
army, enraged at the excesses committed by the
revohitionifts, and determined to avenge them;
and that if any attempt fnould be made against the
life of the Queen, no stone fnould remain upon
another in Paris.
The Convention had decreed the arrest of all
foreigners, natives cf any of the belligerent pow
ers, now in France, who have not taken up their
fettled reVdcnce for three years—And an Appeal
to all the World, on the plots made to destroy the
Liberties of the French people.
They have also decreed the establishment of
another camp behind the grand camp in French
Flanders, to consist of three hundred thousand men
—and have declared all France to be in a jtate of
Jiege.
