When lie reached JLa Rue Nlcalfo, a fhabby old carriage drawn by one iinall horfe, was placed fo as to im pede his paffiage. The coach * man, though driving extremely ' tall, had the addrefs to avoivl ir. A few minutes after, a ter rible cxplofion broke the win dows of the coach, and woun ded the horfe of the I aft of the piquet guardfmen, broke all the windows near the fpot, killed three women and a child. The number of wounded at pre sent afee Trained is fifteen* They were perfons who were acciden t ally palling, and inhabitants of rhe neighbouring houfes. Fif teen houfes were confiderably damaged. Jt appears that this carriage containeda kind of infernal ma chine. The-report was heard all over Paris; part of rhe wheel of the carnage was thrown up on the tiles in the cour t of the Conful Cambaceres. The Firft Conful purfurd his Way, and was prefent at the ora torio. It is two months fmcc the go vernment was informed that 30 of thofc men, who were cover ed with crimes at every period of the revolution, and particu larly during the days of Sep tember, had conceived a fimi- Jarprojeft.

FRANKFORT, Dec. 24. Whilft the grand army of the French, under general Moreau, are making a great progrtfs in Upper Auilria, the Gallo Ba tavian army, which at firft made rapid advances, has been com pelled to retreat not fo much • from any reverfes which it fuf tained, as through motives of circumfpc&ion and precaution. * General Angerau had previouf done much in forcing with two divilions only, (the third form ed the liege of Wurtfburg) die feveral corps of Simbfchen and Albini, to a precipitate retreat. But the former having joined a large body of the troops of ivlenau and of the Bavaro Pa in the higher Palatinate, rnefe formed a inafs of 30,000 m(’n, to which Angerau could op'pole no more than 20,000. — Again, the further he advanced, the more his fituation became endangered, becaufc his left wing was menaced by the forces which are collecting in Bohe mia, on the fide of Egra.— Notwithflanding his inferiority of force, gen. Angerau defen ded his ground foot by foot, in in the actions which took place on the 18th and 21ft. His re treat was e flefted (lowly, and in good order. Elc is at pre font or, the fide bf W*iptfburg. —Since the affair of the 19th info. gen. Angerau has advanc ed his head-quarters at Nurem berg. Geb. Duhefnle marches by Pfzcnftein towards Sulbach. He has im poled a fine on the city of Nuremberg of 30,000 florins, and requires bef’des i 2.000 pairs of boots, and the fame number of (hoes and cloaks. STASBURG, Dec. 27. ArmiJUce between Prune: and Auftria. Bulletin of the Official Journal the Monitvief, Paris, (12th Nivofo) Jari. 2. The government U;s receiv ed this night very important difpatches from the army of the Rhine. The moment when they were font, and their extent, do not permit us to lend the numbers of this day to the de partments. The general of di vifion Defolles, chief of the fbiffi of the Rhine, in a letter, dated the 25th December (4th Nivofe) at the head-quarters of Steyar, addrelfod to the focre tary at war, announces that ge neral Lecourbe has made from 4 to 500 prifoners, and that gen. Richepanfe has entered Stcycr, where the enemy left be hind 17 pieces of cannon and near 4000 prifoners. That itnmenfc magazines were found, that the lofs of the ene my in men, horfes, and atnuni tion is prodigious. We are marching to Erlafch, and every thing announces that the Aus trians arc going to retire behind the Trafor, or Trazen, and per haps under the walk of Vien ■ na. By a fecond letter from the fame place dated Dec. 26, gen. Delollcs informs the Miniftcr, that the Archduke Charles has propofed an armiftice to general Moreau, and announced to him that the Emperor has font a cou rier to M. Cobcnzel, with or ders to lign the peace. The ar miflicc been fierr.ed at Stev- T . ° * ar. it contains 17 articles. Tlie enemy to guarantee the armiftice, give up to the French army the forts of Kullein, Schar nitz, and other points of per manent fortifications in rhe Ty rol, and the fortrefs of Wurtf burg, in Franconia, and Brau nau, in the circle of Bavaria. LONDON, Jan. 15. We received this morning by exprefs, Paris papers to the 12th inft. Their contents arc of conliderable intcreft and im portance. The account of the armiftice in Germany appears not yet to have reached general Brune; for continuing his vic torious career, he has palled, not only the Minco, but the A dige, furrounded Pefchiera, blockaded Mantua and forced the Auftrians to evacuate Coro na and Verona, where he has fixed his head-quarters. The Adige was paffed on the 1 ft ; the Auftrians were deceived by a falfe attack near Verona, and from which place they were for ced to retire, in confoquencc of a fkilful movement made bv qc ; C neral Delmas. Gen. Brune’s dilpatch was a very fhort one; k does hot Hate any particulars of the battle, nor mention the lob fuftained on either fide.— The Auftrians are retreating to wards Vicenza, and orders have been lent to gen. Rochambean, to halien with his divifion, for the purpofe of harrafllng the Auftrian right wing in its re treat. Thefe defeats have ren dered the momentary foe cedes of general Sommariva, in Tuf cany, of no ferious difad vantage to the French, who lliil retain podelTion of Florence and Leg horn. There are no accounts of any preliminaries of peace having been figned, nor any informa tion given of the progress made in the negociations at Luneville. The great rife, however, in the French funds, which are at 52 r-4, fufficicntly proves that an immediate peace with Auf tria, is confidered as certain. The moft interefting part of the intelligence contained in thefe papers, relates to the mca furfs adopted in confequence of the late attempt upon the Firft Conful ; 84 individuals have been ordered to be put under fpecial fuperintendance, and are irtimediately to be fent out of France : Felix Le Pelletier, Tylot, and many perfons con cerned in the September mafla cres, are among the number. Some of the perfons con cerned in the plot to aflatfinate the Firft Conful on the loth of Odlober laft, at the opera houfe, have been found guilty, and con demned to die. Others have been acquitted.
