September 27.

The Commissary of the Executive Power to the Municipal Administration of Police, writes as follows—"General Dutertre, commander of the armed force, charged with escorting to Rochfort the transported Members of the 18th Fructidor, arrived here the first complementary Day. He was arrested two days afterwards by order of the Government, five leagues from hence, and set out the next morning under a strong guard of gendarmes. The reports concerning the troubles said to have taken place at Lyons have been contradicted by a letter of the Departmental Administration of the Rhone, stating that no column of the army of Italy has arrived in this city, and that the column expected will find no obstacle. The Administrators add that Lyons, where public tranquility has not been troubled for one instant by the news of the salutary events of the 18th, still continues calm, and that the measures of public safety ordered in consequence of that memorable day are rigorously executed."
