LONDON, June to.
l evolution in the French governmentand
rebellion in tbe^provinces.
In former papers we have mentioned
itb great accuracy the whole -of what
is hitherto happened in the early part of
lis revolution. VVe have Bated that, in
.angnedoc, the inhabitants of Tfiouloufe
ave driven the Commandant and the gar
ion out of the city ; and, in Britanny,
iat a regiment has laid down its arms,
nd refuted to carry the King*s orders in
-5 etfeft. This revolution, we now find,
as, in its consequences, produced the
noft alarming effefls ; and whit was at
ift hut a feeble resistance in comparifou,
5 become now an open rebellion, am!
breeir. repelled by fortf'e. ,
The whole province of Hritanny is in
it ms, and the Nobles, to the amount of
;00, have cohered a body cf 30,000'
nen, and armed them.
Ihe greater part of the Nobility in
'ranee, joined to the principal Clergy,
.ve united in remonft rating to the King,
S" lt he will continue to purfutf his mea
t-res, they are determined to refitf.
On receiving this news, his Majesty
>rdered all tKe forces that could be (joi
ned immediately to march into Eritan
]y> and refill the infurreftion. A few
lays will determine tire iflue.
, .. %
In addition to this, the province cf
Langiredoc deci 3rC( j j ts intentions in
the fame manner. The King has already
exiled every member of the parliament of
Thouloufe and Grenoble, and has thrown
f x members of the latter in confinement
in strong fortrefles.
A Ruffian vcfiel failed down the river
lafl VVedncfday evtfuiug, with foreign fea
ir.cn railed at the rendezvous in Wapping,
which government have permitted to be
opened for the purpose of assisting to man
the .Ruffian squadron.
The above vefl'el went no further than
Galleons, where the anchored, with a
View, no doubt, of teceiving British sea
men, not having more than 20 foreigners
Oil board.
We learn from Stockholm, that the
Swedith squadron of observation, which
failed from CarJfcrone the latter end of
last month, is commanded by Vice Ad
miral Wrangle. The squadron confifls of
12 fail cf the line ; and it is said that
Denmark will fend a like force to sea.
The above fleets have been equipped in
tonfeqnence of the great naval armament
preparing by the Emprels of all the Ruf
fians.
Our advices from' the continent men
tion, that a fleet is fitting out at Toulon
to oppose the entrance of the Ruffians in
to the Mediterranean j how far that may
tfe founded in fad time will determine.
There has.long fubfilled between Swe
den and Pviiftii a treaty cf defenfive alli
ance, in which it is ftipulatdd, that a cer
tain quota of men and ships (hall be fur
nilhed to either power, if attacked by a
foreign enemy. The Empress made a
demand cf this aid from Sweden. The
afiiliancc was lefufed, upon the idea that
Russia was not attacked, and therefore
could not call for a support which was On
ly to ad when engaged in her ovviT de
fence. TheEmprefs was Highly enraged
at this and sent a courier with
the declaration,* that if the fuCcours were
refufed the would attack the Swedilh pro
vince of Finland with 50,000 men. The
Kiiig of Sweden replied, that he had
jO,cco Swerie3 ready to meet her, and
they fiiould determine the matter.
Orders are iffiued, the Swedilh fleet is
arming, transports are ready to convey
troops into Finland, and the army is in
!• motion.
The Danes are equipping their fleet al
so to join the Swedes.
The Duke de Sudermania, brother to
the King of Sweden, takes the command
of the fleet.
A Letter from'Riga fays, an embargo
is la/d on all the ships in the harbours of
Sweden, and at Riga they are mounting
the guns on the rampatts. It was ru
moured they weie apnrehenfive of a visit
from the Swedes.

Extrail of a letter from Col. 'James Ferry,
jn Netjcn's county, Kenimkey, to the Rev.
'Jordan Dodge , cf Sturbridge, in this
Jiate, dated April 20, 1788.
“ 011 the fhft of April iiift. a number
■ of Indians fnrrounded the house of one
John Me ml, which was difeovered by
the barking of a dog. Merril flepped ro
the door to fee what he could difeover,
and received three musket ball*, which
caused him to fall back into the house
with a broken leg and an arm > :fce Indiana* j
? —X A.
rulhed on to the door, but it beingain
flantly fattened by his wife, who ftrod
against it, wiih a girl about 14 year* of
age, the savages could not immediately
enter ; the Indians broke one part of the
door, and one of them crouded partly
through ; the heroic mother, in the midst
of her screaming children arid groaning
hiifband, seized an axe, and gave a fatal
blow to the savage, and hd falling head
long into the house, the others fuppofrng
they had obtained their end, ruflied after
him, until four Os them fell in like man
ner befoie they difcovefed their mistake;
the rest retreated, #hich gave an oppor
tunity again to secure the door. The con
querors rejoiced in thetr viflory, hoping
they had killed the whole company ; but
their expetfat-orfs (bon dallied, by finding
the door again attacked, which the bold
mothet endeavouied once more to secure,
with the adiflance of the young woman;
their fears came now on them like a flood;
they soon heatd a noise on the top of the
house, and then found they were coming
down the chimney ; all hopes of deliver*
ance were now at an end, but the wound**
ed man ordered his little child to tumble
a couch that W'as filled with hair and lea* .
thers on the fire, which made such a fmo*
ther that tWO lusty Indians came tumbling
down the chimney; the wounded man,
exerting every faculty in this critical mo
ment, seized a billet of wood, wiih which
he conquered the fmothdred Indians; at
the lame inftancethe woman aimed a blow
at the door, ; but not with the fame effect
as thd rift, but which caused him to re
treat ; they then again secured the door al
faft as poflible, and rejoiced at their delU
verance, but not without fear of a third
attack ; they carefully watched with thft
new family until riaorning, and were not
again diflurbed* v .
“ We learn by a jirifonir that mads
his escape from the Indians, that the
wounded savage last mentioned, warf'lihe
only one that escaped at this time; oix
his return he was asked,- “ What news
broth }** “ plaguy bad news,” replied the
wounded Indians, “for the squaws have
taken the breichdout, and fight worse
than the lciig knives.’* This extraordi
nary affair happened at Ncwbardflon, a
bout 15 mites fiom Sandy Creek, and may
be depended on, as I bad the pleasure to
aflift in tumbling them into a hole after
they were 11 ripped of their head drefles
and about 20 dollars worth of ’filycr fur-*
niture.** . 1
