mounted the great fiaircafe, and travel fed the apartments till they arrived at his Majelly's ca binet, in which the Monarch received them. The General who was at their head, in a (hort and apposite speech, informed hisMajefty ot the attachment of the Parisian ariny, who in return observed, " that the National Guards, who had done so much for the accompli/hment of the re solution, had nothing moie to do than togivean example of obedience to the laws, and the con ftiiution would then be fixed on a basis that would render It immortal." The deputation then filed off", before the King, making the walls of thcPa lacerefound wirh " Vivt la Natien, ei vive It Ret." A citizen soldier, on palfing before his Majesty, exclaimed, " Sire voila vos veritables a:nis!" (be hold your true friends, Sire!) bis Majeltv imme diately replied with the rood lively emotion, "1 am convinced of ir." The Grenadier Company of the battalion of the Oratory have been discharged, and the Gre nadier who firft urged the impropriety of the King's receiving the Sacrament'from the hands of a refraiftory Priest. This intrepid citizen has Ilowever experienced the patronage of the club called the Cordelieres. ■who have objected to the late oath taken by the National Guards. This circumstance, and that of the refractory Clergy being permitted to hire, occupy, and preach in the Hotel des Theatins, are the mod undoubted proofs of the liberty now enjoyed here, as in both these inflances, religious and po litical fentirnents, however different froui those of the people, are freely tolerated, and recal to the memory of the clal'ical (tranger, who vifirs Paris, those happy days which Rome enjoyed an amiable and godlike Emperor, when every citizen " might think what he pleased, and fay what he thought." NATIONAL ASSE MBIT, April 29. Diftiirbances having lately taken place, from some soldiers having attended one of the socie ties known by the name of " Friends to the con Aitution," whicii conduct was opposed by their officers, the Aflembly palled the following de cree— " The National AlTembly decrees, Thar the officers, subalterns, and soldiers of all descripti ons, when not on du'y, may, like all other citi zens, attend the societies which aflemble peace ably in the towns in which thry are in garrison." May 4. The fuhject of Avignon was once more refunied, when after a long and warm debate, upon the qtieftion being p*ir, whether Avignon and the Comtat {hnnld or should not be annexed to the French empire, it was determined by a majonry of 487 to 316, that they Ihould not be annexed to France. May $. Two papers, of very great moment, were this day read in the Aflembly. The firit, a circular letter from the Emperor to the different electors, dating; to them the fleps which had been pursued by him as head of the Empire, in relation tn the decrees of the National Aflembly, which have been complained of as injnriojis to the rights ofrhat part of the Germanic b'>dy in Lorraineand Alsace. The intention ofthis letter is stated to be, that the Germanic body may a dopt the means which appear to them best suited to obtain redress ofthe grievances complained of. The other was a letter from M. Montmorin to the Pope's Nuncio at Paris, Hating, " That his Majefl v was much surprised at the answer of his Holiness to the letter from his Majesty, an nounc ing the recall of M. le Cardinal de Bernis that his Majefly saw with astonishment, that the P ;>? appeared to refufe receiving an Ambaflador of K ance, who had taken, without reftrklion, the r- h equired of all public officers—that his Majeftv . an scarcely believe this to be the inten tion of his Holiness, as it monlH br ak of all co;:- neElian b-.tviem the Holy See and the French Moaar —that no Ambaflador can be sent to his Holi rief who has not taken the National Oath and that if his Holiness pertifted in tliis, tlie dignity ofthe nation, and that of his Majesty, would not permit aNuncio from the Pope to remain at Paris." Tne letter concludes, recommending to his Holiness to weigh well the consequences which may result from fnch conduct, and to bear in mind that, whatever they may be, he will have provoked them. May 8. Oil a report by TNI. Viellard, the Af femhlv give orders, that the extraordinary Bank fnonld pay the film of four millions, as acom penfiiion to those peiTons who have been losers by the foppreflLm of offices. May 9. M. d'Andre was eleCled PrefiJeiu LONDON, May 13 Tc even pretended to be concealed, that trie a'i r -er of the Empress is hostile. She laid, that lh'> should lament the r.ece!fiiy of going to war with England, and her allies ; but (he cer tainly would proceed in the unprovoked war in which fhc was involved with the Turk-, until she brought then) to the moderate and jnft conditi ons {he had already offered 'hem, and from which no foreign interference fliould make her abate. Ycfterdav a Cabinet Council was held, at which all the Minifies afliftcd. The answer oi the Em prels was probablv rhe object of their delibera tion.—They fat till half patt three o'clock, and the lefult was sent up to the King. Whether.the divilion of Burke and rox, may produce any fchifin in the party ; whether any of that noble and opulent Ariltocracy who com pose it, may participate the alarms and refent inents of Mr- Burke, may be a matter of much fpecularion. If conjecture be adrmffible, ir seems more likely that the Apostle of Despotism will be left alone. The rational fiends ot Anflo cracy will regard him as too intemperate and in difcrcet for a Leader: they will confuler all fear of convulsions in England as the dread of events certainly remote, and perhaps visionary, and if they think the danger real, they must fee the wretched policy of Mr. Bu'ke, who accelerates its progress by conferring on its promoters pre mature importance. And above all, they will fee that their desertion of Mr. Fox will only be unfettering his mind; and transferring a great Leader from a Faction to rhe People. They dread those difcuifion-s which the indis cretion of Mr. Burke perpetually provokes. They are conscious of the feeblenefs to which the 10l of their Leader would reduce them, and they must tremble 'at the measure to which Mr. Fox, unshackled with party, might be impelled at so critical a moment, by the energy of his own vir tuous and enlightened mind. Letters from Stockholm mention, that the Ruf fian Minister had delivered a declaration to the King of Sw eden, intimating, that if he allowed the Englifii ships of war to enter his ports, L would be considered by the Empress as a declara tion of war. To which his Majesty replied, thrr he (hould observe a Uriel neutrality, by allowing both Englifii and Ruffian veflels to come in ant! go out of his harbours at their pleasure. The trial of Mr. Hastings will be rpfumed 01 Monday or Tuesday, and Mr. St. John opens tlit nexc charge. It was reported yesterday, with some confi dence, and very generally, that there had beer a tumult at Condantinople, in which the Grand yizir loft his head. An exprels was yesterday received by a refpec table merchant in this city, from Constantinople which is reported to conrain the following in porrnnt intelligence relative to that capital : Admiral Ribas, immediately after his defea of the Otroman forces before Brailow, having v. ken on board hk fqnadron a large detachnien from the arhiv of Prince Repnin, failed to Kilia nova, where having formed a junction with Ad miral Suwarrow's fleet, he failed for Conllanti nople, and taking advantage of the commotion which prevailed within that city, landed his troops at Pera, and took the place without refin ance. At the time of theßuffian troops entering Constantinople, the city was on fire in fifty dif ferent parts. The Ruffians have gained another vidtorv over the Tnrks. Prince Gallitzin attacked the penin fnla of Kurkpany, near Brailow, which he took, after cutting to pieces the garrifoii, confiding of four thousand Turks, and destroying 22 vessels. It is aliened that the persons at Bristol, who burnt Mr. Wilberforce in effigy, were none of the ■■efpif, able part of the inhabitants.—There surely needs no ghost lo tell jis this ; —but where were the refpetfablc pari of the city when such an in famous outrage was perpetrating? Late Dinners.—Mr. Pitc on being lately invited : o dine with Lady Salisbury, at ten, politely pleaded a previous engagement to sup with the Chancellor—at nine. The walking Stuart has set out for Falmouth, where he is to take his pafl'ageon board the New- York Packet for America. His intention is not nonly to travel tiie civilized Provinces of that Co- tinent, but to explore the mod hidden and inte rior parts, where no European has ever ventured. Several persons have been lately ordered to quit Madrid, on suspicion of foine pplitical in trigues; and among them the Duchess of San teftevan, mother-in-law to the Duke de Medina Celi. A college, for the education of Roman Catho lic 1 riefts, is building at 1 hurleSj in the county of Tipperary. This will keep a deal of money m Ireland, which would otherwise have been ex pended abroad, and is occafinned by the diff'olu ti°n of so many religious houses in France.

TO GEORCIA PLANTERS. A Paragraph from Georgia has lately made its appearance in several papers* ; in which the writer intimates that a treatifeon the cultivation of the vine would be a very ufefnl addition to the stock of agricultural information, especially to the southward.—A cori efpondent who is per fectly acquainted with the practice as well as theory of the vine culture, proposes, if fufficient encouragement is held out by the southern far mers collectively, to furnifh them with a com pleat account of the several modes of culture ufcd in Burgundy and other parts of France, in every different kind of foil. If such a subscription can be railed as would prove a reafonablecompenfa tion for his trouble, he proposes to devote his whole time and attention ro the fnbjecfi; and his experience, he conceives, will enable him ro'givf such accurate and minire information, as would nvove a fufficient guide to fuch'as choose to un dertake to cultivate flie native vine ; which, from the info rmation he has been able to colletft since his residence in this country, if properly done, he thinks could not fail of success. Communications for ourcorrefpondent,tliretH ed to D. P. and left nt the office of the Gcireial Advertiser, will be delivered to him. * Or'.r; mil: ••-i t \(', , - tTT F of the Vn'ittd StaTs'
