BOSTON, February 25.

From FRANCE direct.

Since our last, the brig Ceres, Capt. Sumner, has arrived here from Bordeaux, by which we have received Paris and Bordeaux papers to the latter part of December. There does not appear to have been any military events of consequence since the victory over the Spaniards—nor do any of the debates of the Convention wear an aspect of Peace with any of the Powers.

On the 5th of December. Dubois Crancé said, that notwithstanding the success of the armies of the Republic, a winter campaign was necessary to consolidate them: And the Convention decreed, that the furloughs granted for three months should expire in one month. The Convention appears still busily in repairing the ruins made in the moral and physical affairs of France during the system of terror. Carrier and his accomplices have been executed; and the Robespierrian judges, accusers, &c. are in train for trial.

Sentence against Carrier, &c.

The following is the substance of the sentence pronounced on Carrier and his accomplices, in the French Revolutionary Tribunal, Dec. 15, 1794.

"Carrier Representative of the People, convicted of having been the author of the horrors which have desolated in the department of La Loire Inferieure, and particularly at Nantes, against the safety of the people, and the liberty of the citizens, by giving orders to Philippes, to execute, without trial, numbers of insurgents, among whom were many women and children ; by giving unlimited power to Lamberty to drown men, women, and children; by giving orders to Haxo, to exterminate the inhabitants of La Vendée, &c. &c.

"Grandmaison, for issuing an order to shoot, en masse, the prisoners; in being present at a drowning; in maltreating the victims who were destined to be drowned, &c. &c.

"Pinard, for executing arbitrary orders for massacring innocent women and children, pillaging and burning every thing in the parts where he commanded ; and having done all this with criminal and counter revolutionary intentions; are condemned to the pain of death."

After the above sentence was pronounced, Carrier said, " I die a victim and innocent. My last wish shall be for the good of the Republic, and for the welfare of my fellow-citizens."

Carrier's trial lasted several weeks. and in the course of it, there were developed crimes that would make the stoutest heart tremble, barely to contemplate. Nero was a milk-sop to him.
