French Journals to the 20th

yeflerday j their contents are of |
confide rable importance. The
army of Italy is purfuing its vic
torious career, unintcrupted by
the armifticc concluded on the
Rhine; and gen Brune writes to
the mini her of war, that nervea
bie to rhe wifires of the Trench
Republic, he will conclude no
armiflicc until the Auftrians fiiall
have furrendered Mantua, Fcf
chiera, Ferrara and Ancona. In
driving the Andrians from Mon
tebello and Tavemalic, the Re
publicans had made 1500 prif-

ern Neutrality at Peterfburgh,
on the 17th of December, the
day after it had been figned by
Rufina, Demark and Sweden.—
Nor does it appear that there,
was any refeivation made upon
her in this a6l, fo contrary to
her profeflions, to her faith, and
to her real intcred ; and which,
if cotrcblly dated, is meant to

The town was much agitated
on Saturday, raid wc will venture

roughly convinced that Mr. Pitt

I out enquiry about his fircceftor,
I lomething of peace was augured
from his refignation. Volumes
could not fpeak more ftrohgiy
how much the minifter hid loft
the confidence of the country.
1 low the report of Mr. Pitt’s
refignation aroie, is explained by
a circumftance which many pt o

On ifi'iday evening (the rumours
of differences in the Cabinet be

Vva-, engaged longer than iifual

word that he could hoc come,
bring engaged at council, and
defiling that the party, of which
he generally made one, fhould fit
down without him. From this
it was conjectured that there
muft be lomething extraordinary
in the cafe, for his majefty had
never been known to ftayat coun
cil thus, but the night previous
to the diAblution of the marquis
of Rockingham’s adminiftradon.
The former report being a Med
to this coincidence, it was im
mediately conjectured that Mr.
Pitt muft be out of office. 'The

, Yefterday we received, by
exp rtf;, Paris papers to the 30th
ult.—“ The conditions of the
armiflicc concluded in Italy, on
the 16th oflaft month, are given
in the Moniteur; Pdchiera, Ser
mione, Verona, Lcguano, Ferra
ra and Ancona, have been fur
rendered to the Republicans.—
According to the 12th article,
Mantua was to have continued
| in a flare of blockade ; but in
1 con let] ue nee of a convention a
. greed to a: Luneviile laft Mon
slay, it is alio to be lurrendcred
to tiie trench army. Portugal
is at laft reduced to the alternat
ive of accepting the alliance of
F ranee and Spain, or of remain
ing faithful to her engagements
with this country, under ail the
dangers reiulting from immedi
ate invafion. An ambaflador
was preparing to depart from
Madrid for Lilbon, in order to
propofe this aFernative. It is
pofidvely ftated, that a paflage
has been granted to the French,
which is now forming at Bour
deux, for the invafion of Portu
gal. 1 lie 1 iers Confollde are
