TMENTZ, January 8. HBtree of liberty was planted here yeflerday Under all (charge of the artillery of the place. The city will be ifuminated this evening as a testimony of joy at the entranc Jof the French. This event appears to cause in tins p!a<e universal joy. Those who Have different senti ments endeavor to disguise them ; the wife relign them, the timid conceal them. Tarts, January 28. A courier which arrived last even* ing from Italy brought letters from Gen. Berthier; they are dated Maceretta, only 28 leagues from Rome. The troops of the Cifalpine Republic were more advanced; they arp at the disposition of the French Republic, and com* manded by the companions ol Buonaparte. Thus every thing leads to believe that we are now maflers of the ci devant capital of the Christian world. Gen. Murat, who left Paris within these few last davs, is the bearer of difoatches addressed to the French Generals in Rome. It appears that it is to dire est the organization of the Republic of Rome that Dannou and Monge are sent by the Directory into Italy. They have for colleague Cid z :n Fjorent, die firft Alfiftant of the Minister of Exterior Relations. Letters received from Cadiz announce that the Marquis de Branciforte, Vice Roy of Mexico, has, with all his family, been affaffmated by the populace. There is no circumstantial detail of this strange news. We know politively that the revolution is completed in Bade; that the ancient Magistrates have given in their difinilfion; that they are replaced by the popular authori ties; and that about 50 persons have thought proper to e migrate without any violence having been committed to wards them. In the Council of Five Hundred a great number of pa triotic gifts were made this day tor the expedition against England. Thomas Paine made an offering of 100 livres. Honorable mention directed to be made in the process verbal. January ~su It Is said that Garftot has been seen at Altona. London, January 18. The Concord frigate, com hianued b.

The Spartiate of Bourdeaux has taken and carried into that port, the Clinton, laden with fait ft in. Ihe Marie of Nantes has taken the American brig Thomas, laden with English merchandise. Ihe Directory has arrefled the Marquis Mafilnl, the Ainbaffador of his Holiness, and sent him to the Temple. The following notice was yeflerday stuck up at Lloyd’s: “ % letters from France we are informed that vessels with Enghfli goods on board are in the utmost danger at Hamburgh and Altona; and that all flupments may be sus pended until further orders. We learn also that all veffris bound to* France from England will be seized on their ar rival.” English goods, we understand, have been seized in Spain and Holland on the fame day as in France. January 22. On Saturday orders were difpatclied from the Admiralty to the Commanders of English (hips cruising m the Mediterranean to have no intercourse with any ves sels coming from the island of Corsica, it being reported tut tne p.agye, rages there-with fueh violence that num bers die daily of the infeaion. .

Tlie Duke D'Artois Tib ich privateer, of 26 guns and 170 men, is taken by the Shannon frigate and carried into Cork. It is said that accounts have been received of Admiral Thompson having reached the coast of Ireland, where there is now a naval force of great strength. The chief appre hension cf Miiliftry is, that the attempts of the enemy will be entirely directed against tliat country. We are well assured however that they have no national force at present ready for sea, whatever preparations may be making in the different ports. llefpecYmg their privatec.-s, on the contrary, we learn by moft correft information received in the city on Saturday and yeflerday, that there are not less than 40 large (hips of this defeription cruising in the Chan nel and North Seas. It is to be hoped that Government will adopt means to prevent the mifehief likely to ensue in consequence of this formidable armament dirttted against our commerce. Government has received intelligence that, fmee the late revolution in Holland, the Batavians enter more hear tily into the views and plans of the French with refpecl to the invasion of this country than before, in consequence of which almost all the vessels in Holland are taken up as transports, and troops have actually begun to embark. There are leveral hundred Tail of ships and-vessels in the Dutch ports admirably calculated for transports, and we have no doubt but that the French will profit by them ill their proje&ed expedition. The unfortunate Princess De Leon, of the illuflriouS House of Montmorency, was taken on a Hambijrgti packet last week by a French privateer, and carried a pri soner into Calais. The famous Gen. Miranda has been in ‘London for the last fortnight, though no person seems to know the nature cf his errand. The amount of the National Subscription now exceeds half a million, exclutive of numerous and considerable Country colle&ions. The fiibfcription cf the merchants, &c. of the city, which ert Friday night amounted to 80,0001. including those sums to be paid by inftulmcnts, on Saturday received an addition of 15,0001. The fubfeription at the Bank on Saturday experienced an augmentation-of 20,000!. The Duke of Portland cli recled that his name might beinferted in the patriotic lift for the ftim of 5000!. per annum during the war; and Earl Camden notified his intent to contribute the sum of 70001. Lord Spencer is a contributor to the amount of 30001. Lords Hood and BorringJon 10001. each. The Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh, have fnbfcribed 2oocl. to the voluntary contributions. The Duke of Buccleugli has Itiblcribed the fitm of 6000!. The Hon. Thomas Elder has fubferibed 2001. The Breadalbane Fencil?les f Lave fubferibed one day’s pay every month during the continuance of tire war, a mounting to about 5001. jx-r arinum.
