ROME, ‘January 13.-
r prdeefs against the i'n all number of persons who
X are confined as accomplices of the late outrages goe
on tardily. The Government has announced th>t it would
prove an understanding between the insurgents and the
French Minister and other French agents, but as yet ithw
furitifhed no evidence to prove this accusation.
It is said that Gen. Bunyick is to march with the re
mainder of the Papal troops to Spnletto, there to defend
the avenues to Rome ; and that new troops fliall be levied
to cover the way which leads from Terracino to Naples.
Phis latter diipolition ftieivs that the Court will retreat td
that kingdom at the approach of the French and Cifalpines.
It is aflerted that the Court of Naples has sent more than
400 palfports which were {elicited by the Members of tbs
Holy College and the Signiors of Rome.
January 14. The Pope is in a Hate of languor which
denotes approaching death; be has been many days with?
out the power of giving “audience to bis Ministers.
Ferrara, January 13. The Cifalpine troops who had
advanced into the Pontifical territories have been compelled
to retreat. The mow, which fell in great -quantities,
principally in all the mountains, retarded their advance
and lhut up the passage by which they were to penetrate to
Rome. The Cifalpines fulLiined within viirft, days a
fenftble check. One of their corps was advancing towards
Ofimo, in the Marche of Ancona, in order to take posies.
fion of that city, in compliance with the invitation which
had !>een made to them by foine of the inhabitants. Ti e
mountaineers of the country resolved to oppose their design;
they collected in great numbers, and having procured fomt
pieces of cannon they waited the approach of the Cifalpines;®
hardly had the latter advanced within their reach when tha
mountaineers opened a terrible fire upon them ; 2 or 30a
men were killed or wounded, the rest took to flight. The
French General who was at Ancona was no fc.oner inform
ed of this event than he marched with all his force to Ofo
mo; the mountaineers retired on his approach; havingen?
tered the city lie imposed a contribution of 60,c00 feudi,
t! aeatening at the fame time a general pillage if it was not
paid in a very ft.ort interval.
BaJle , January 28. It is to morrow that the 30 De
puties of the city and country begin to aflemble to form a
new constitution. There has already appeared two pro
jefts; one from the Citizen Oclis, which he has sent from
Paris, which appears to be approved of by the Directory;
the other is from Citizen Legrand.
In feme parts of the country they will no longer hear the
castles of the Bailiffs spoken of, nor even permit them to
exist; they have determined on raling those of Homburgh
and Munchenftien.
January 30. We are informed that a violent infur.
reftion has shewn itfelf in the village of Horgen, canton of
Zurich; one man was killed.
Arau and alt the canton of Argou are in infurredion.
The Deputies of the Helvetic corps have been obliged to
take flight. The Buigomafter Weils of Zurich, not daring
to return to his country, has it is said left SwiiTerland.
This was one of the moft warm defenders of the. oath of
reunion of the Helvetic corps. The infurreclion has been
accelerated by the information they received of the Go
vernment of Berne having given orders to arrest the Patri
ots. The Citizen Mingaud has already notified to the
refpecVive cantons to fend new Deputies to Arau.
Lucerne, January 28. The Patriots begin to under*
ftind their just rights; in the country there are now all the
fvniptoms of an approaching infurre&ion.
Soleu re, (SwifferlandJ January 29. The demands
of the people of Soleure on its Government are printed;
the people, it is there said, will seize the sovereignty ar.d
die free.
The Government of Berne at length gives way; it has
renounced its claims on the Pays de Vaud, which is to be
organiied, and will form the Lcmanic Republic . It has
alio consented that its German subjects (hall fend to the
Grand Council 40 Deputies from the country, and 10 from
the city of Berne; but as they will there find 300 Oligar
chies thcle 50 Deputies cannot do much good. Berne
wishes to cfcape, by these futile ccncellions, from a war
• with France.
At Soleure the Revolution is already determined. Th®
Government has acceded to all the demands which the in
habitants of the country have made. The equality r *.
rights for all the citizens is adopted; and they have named
a commiftion, as well of the inhabitants of the city as the
country, to form anew constitution. In short, it is al
ready as far in revolution as Bade.
Laufann: , January 30. The canton of Fribourg jj
entirely revolutionized. It is very apparent that it volt
join itfelf to the Lemanic Republic. La Valois labors all®
at its regeneration. At Zurich the Democratic party begin*
to ftiew itfoif. Here then, including Bade, the revolution
of which is fraUbed, are four of the mrincipl HeDeoc can-
