Last evening arrived here, the ship Abigail, Capt. Loring, in 54 days from Bordeaux. Capt. Loring informs, that the greatest apprehensions entertained by the French were from the disorders and divisions which reigned throughout the Republic, and which had been principally occasioned by the arrest of the members of the Convention, on the 30th of May: That they spoke in terms of the utmost indifference of the efforts of the combined powers, but dreaded a civil war with their fellow citizens: That the Royalists in the Vendee were between 20 and 30,000 strong; and that notwithstanding their late defeats they still made a powerful head: That Custine had been massacred: and that the trade of Bordeaux, had suffered by the commotions—the merchants wishing for the establishment of almost any kind of free government, that would give a spring to their declining commerce.
