On motion— Rcfolvcd, That it is the opinion of
this Convention, that from the numbers, refpeda

The armament fitted out at this port is ready
for sea. It conf»(tsofis ships of the line, and
an equal number of frigates, and is to fail within
a few days. This fleet is destined for an expedi

ships companies is allowed to leave his ihip.
Yeilerday arrived from Marseilles, several large
veffeis, which are to serve as transports for land
troops, ammunition, and every thiugneceflary for
a defeent., The enemy’s fleet is said to cruise off
the Hieries, with an intention of engaging out’s*

They who suppose that the power of the Jarca
bias is extinguiihed are millaken. The tribunes
or the convention have lately been filled with a
large number of the friends of the Jacobins; nu
merous parties have; for several days, assembled
round the convention, and have spoke openly of
re-commcncing the fittings of the Jacobin club.
The cries of Fivent Us Hans Culottes/ et la Mon
tague, are frequently heard from the groopes in the
public places. The late nicreafe of the salary of
the deputies from 28 to 36 livres a day, is a very
unpopular mcafure, and it is aflerfed that the pe
riod when this incrcafe was made was the most
improper that could have been devised. Tow ard*
the latter end of January some dilturbanccs took
place in the - prisons, and the committee of general
lately were reduced to the neceflity of fending to
Ham in Picardy the leading members of the Jaco
bins, viz. Pathc, Bouchotte, Raiflon, Glemence*
and M.uchanJ.
