NEWS FROM FRANCE.

From a Friend in Europe, by an arrival at New-York, I have received Files of several Paris papers from the 1st Messidor to the 6th Thermidor; amongst which are the Ami des Loix, the Redacteur, and the Patriote Francois, the latter of which, in the true fanatical cant of the day, bears the following inscriptions in striking characters at its head:

'On the 9th Floreal, at 9 o'clock in the evening, the Austrian government caused to be assassinated by its troops, the French Plenipotentiaries charged by the Directory to negotiate a peace at Rastadt.'

War unto Death to the English Government and the House of Austria!
VENGEANCE!
VENGEANCE!

It is printed in the rue d'Enfer.

We give to day a hasty abstract of the principal articles contained in these Gazettes, reserving the details for succeeding papers.

It appears that Royalism is every where directing assassinations against the Republicans. 'The Council of 500, considering that at the moment when the Legislators are occupied in offering to the Republicans a guarantee against the assassinations which royalism directs against them, it is not less important to open the eyes of the universality of the French people upon their civil dissensions, declares that there is urgency.'

The Council, after having declared urgency, proceeded to decree an address to the French people, wherein it appears, that 'bitter civil dissensions have already sprung up afresh in the departments of the west and the south, threatening to extend their ravages to other parts of the Republic.' In the mean while bands of royal assassins shew themselves in divers departments, and attack the Republicans.'

In the Council of 500, on the 1st Thermidor, Talot, by a motion of order, denounced an intention, (which he charges to Royalists) of reassembling a National Convention. A committee was appointed to make a law against such organization.

The Commune of St. Claude has been consumed, and the wretched inhabitants, reduced to a state of nakedness, apply to the Council of Ancients for succour. Sent to the Directory.

Decombroux, in the Council of Ancients, presented an address signed by great number of the citizens of Grenoble, who demand that the ex-Directors be brought to judgment. They demand also, that the Council revise, and cause to be executed, the laws providing succours to the families of the defenders of the country.

The republicans of Marseilles and of Toulouse felicitate the Council upon the energy it has assumed, and demand the punishment of the ex-Directors.

Reinhard, Minister Plenipotentiary in Switzerland, succeeds Talleyrand as Minister of Exterior Relations.

Robert Lindet takes the place of Ramel, the Financier.

The appointment of Lambrechts to the Ministry of Justice is revoked, and Cambaceres, ex-conventionalist, is appointed to succeed him.

The Piedmontese, the Swiss, heretofore in the service of the king of Sardinia, the Poles, Calabrians, &c. with the army of Italy, were in the course of the last winter united to the French army. All that remain of those troops, it appears by a message of the Directory to the Councils, are suffering under privations of every kind, at Ville Franche, Chambery, Grenoble, &c. and their situation becoming daily more painful.

It appears by a letter of Bernadotte, (the new War Minister) to the generals in chief of the armies, that the old soldiers not only treat the young conscripts with great contempt, but actually beat them on their arrival at the armies.

The Municipality of Amiens denounces many incendiary writings distributed by the Royalists.

The conscripts of the department of Cher, are stated to have deserted en masse.

The head-quarters of Massena's army were at Huningen.

A body of 60,000 Russians is assembling in Poland.

It was with the utmost difficulty that the savages who surrendered in the citadel of Turin, were preserved from popular fury. Many of them fell victims to the rage of the mob.

We regret to find that a chief of the coupe-tetes named Travot has by stratagem made prisoners four Generals of Chouans. They are, the Chevalier de Vezins, Dupineau, Gourreau, and Blovin, Emigrants.

The general Vimeux has been authorized by the central administration of Maine and Loire to cause to be disarmed the inhabitants of those communes which have furnished troops to reinforce the Chouans.

The Dey of Algiers, at the intercession of Messrs. Bacri and Busnach, has set at liberty the French who had been some months imprisoned there.

The department of the upper Loire is infested by numerous troops of brigands. One of these on the 9th Messidor, attacked the gens d'armes of St. Didier and Monistrol, and gained some advantages over them.

The Department of Vaucluse is the prey of brigandage. Precautions are taking, that the Chouans, who desolate the department of the Var, may not penetrate into the department of Gard. Barrere is recalled.

Cambon inveighs against the rich men, and proposes that the Jury be instructed to attend as a principal object to the attainting of men gorged with the public fortune, and those who by, the effects of the revolution, have acquired immense riches.
