ST. PETERS BURGH, February 12.
LAST evening departed this life, in this city, the late-
King of Poland, Stanislaus Poniatowlky. He was
bom.oll the 18th January, 1732, andchofen King-of the
Poles on the. 6th Septemtar, 1764. On the morning of
the 1 ith instant he took his breakiaft in seemingly good
health, but soon. after was struck with arTapopledic fit,
which put an end to his existence.

Paris, February 23. Dispatches from Liibon are . said to
have arrived, in which tl<e Portuguele Court, after making
feme complaints against the arreftation of its Ambassador,
d’Aranjo, requefls a passport for anew Envoy. Tlie laid
Court seems to believe', or at least means to aflume the ap
pearance, that tlie war between Portugal and France *is
terminated; but of this there are contrary opinions here.
D’Aranjo is fell in the Temple, and there appears no dis
position to set him at liberty without further inquiry. •

There is here a club the members whereof employ all
possible means to be chosen as Representatives at the ensu

Before the entrance of the French troops into Rome the
archives of the Inquifitkm and other public documents
were lent into tlie Neapolitan dominions.
At kill, fay our papers, after a state of nearly 2000
years slavery, the standard of liberty is again raised on the
Capitol. Greater and happier than Brennus, Gen. Berthier
entered the ancient metropolis of the world, and the
people were struck with dumbness when tlie French said to
tlie conquered, be free. Yesterday afternoon a courier
arrived at the office of the Minister of Foreign Relations,
who, having beew di (patched by Bet%hier, made the tour
from Rome to Paris in eight days. He brought the news,
that a few days after the entry of the French, on 27th
Pluviofe, (February 15) the Roman people affembfed on
the Campo Vachino, or Champ de Mars, and formally
abolished the former government. From thence they
went, in conjunction with the French, Gen. Berthier at
the head, to tlie Capitol, where the Republic, under the
protection of the Great Nation, was proclaimed. A pro
visional government manages the public affairs until the
Representatives of the new nation are convened to form a*
new confcitution. The Papal eftablifiiments are entirely
overthrown, and the Holy Father is in the hands and un
der the charge of the French. The tricolored flag now
floats on the Capitol.
The message lent by the Directory on the 19th Febru
ary to the two Legiilative Councils is the following:
“ Citizens Repreft ntatives,
“ The Theocratic Government of Rome, ungrateful to
the French Republic, which deigned to {pare it after the
affaffmation of Bafleville, had quite forgotten the favors
conferred on it by the treaty of Tolentino. This Govern
ment, ever untaitliful to the law of nations, had insulted
themajeftv of the Great Nation in the person of our Ara
baiTador, whole palace it violated on the Bth Nivofe, and
before whose eyes it caused to be assassinated the French
General Duplux—this brave officer, who had heretofore
escaped all the danger of the war, but who could not lave
his life in such a bale and perfidious attack.
“ For feme time past the Papal Government had secretly
recommenced ics hostilities, and made warlike preparations
against tiie r reach Republic; it engaged in its ftirvice fo
reign Generals; it corresponded clandestinely with the con
spirators who vpre defeated on the 18th Fruaidyr; it op
poted to the lays the decrees of its Divines, in order to
excite freih difljirbiuices in the midst of France. It had at
lull organised infurreftion against itfelf, which
