Mr. Giroy Dupre moved, yelrerday evening, at the club of the friends of the conui- tutJon, " That Louis de Bourbon Ihould be provihon ally deprived of all royal functions, until his trial before a high jury lhall be finifhed, and that this jury do afl'emble, at '.he latcll, 011 the 30th of Aiigult next." Another member moved, That the King's wife Ihould no longer be called Queen ; because, by the const itution, there is no such person as Queen He w as also for a council of regency, but to have no regent. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, June 17. PUNISHMFNT FOR VEtJUTY. After some debate it was decreed, " That for the future, every legillator who ihall dispose of liis opinion for money fliall be punished with death." LONDON, June 30 The Marquis de Bouille has not been appre hended. It is said, that he escaped by changing his uniform with a private dragoon ; and that this man being taken for the Marquis gave rife to the report of his apprehension. M. Calonne is said to have taken abroad with him a Sw'ifs gentleman, whom he had leletled out for very 1 are ability.—This gentleman had the address to reach the French King—to carry on and plan all that scheme, which, so unfortu nately for the King, has been defeated—lie ar ranged everv means for hisefcape—procured the relay of horses, along the road, and concerted every step neceflary for the escape of the Royal Family. That gentleman is now fafe ! He made a noble effort to rescue the King— whose person made it (till more dilficult to faye him. Fortune has defeated that event !— It will re main with a generous people not to make an ill is sue of what accident lias put into their power. Greatness of mind never appealed to such ad vantage, or flione with more brilliancy, in the Royal House of Brurifvvick, than in the conduct of our present foveteign towards the Duchess of Albany. When we reflect on the misfortunes of that unhappy family, and with what an eye of enmity they have been beheld here, the recepti on of the Duchess at this Court proves that his Majesty is poflefled of every milder virtue. Under our present form of government, this country has arrived to a (late of wealth, power and national happiness, that no other kingdom or (late upon the face of the earth enjoys iii the fame degree of perfection. Ought not the man or men, therefore, who wilh to alter that system of government, he gibbeted in the most conspi cuous manner, as a common enemy and traitor to the Constitution ? At no time fi-.ice the discovery of America,lias a trade of equal extent been carried 011 between this country and that continent, as exills at this moment, and which trade, fortunately for En gland, is every day rapidly increasing. It is greatly to the credit of adniiniftration, that they are endeavouring by every prudent means toincveafe the trade of Amei ica, and to render them and us united as it is our mutual in terest to be. The corn art of the last session will be extremely gratifying to the Americans, and ■will mod certainly be considered by them as a favor from this country. Mr. Minchin's promised bill for the encourage ment of the culture of hemp, which will be brought forward early in the next feflion, will likewise be advantageous to America, as we are given to underftnnd thar it is the intention of the promoters of that bill to introduce a clanfe for allowing a bounty on the importation of hemp, the growth of America. The orders from America for woolen ponds have much inereafed ; the quantity about to be exported from Leeds, and its neighbourhood on ly, amounts to nearly 600,0001. There can be no doubt of the poflibility of ren dering America as serviceable to this country, in 146 the production of raw materials, asthemoft ft te nuous advocates against a Ruffian War contend that Russia is ; and it is prefumcd that every Entrlifhman, from the funilarity ot manners the fame language, and the fame habits with his bre thren of America, would prefer a trade wit 1 them to any other people under tlie fun. No thing is more certain than that the Americans prefer a connexion with England to any o> .iet nation, and that they are daily becoming mote attached to this country than they ever wet e. Mr. Dundas is the firft secretary of Hate that ever represented the city of Edinburgh in parli ament; and the third Scotchman (nice the union, at has had the honor ofthe new appointment The Earl of Bute and Lord Viscount Stormont were the others alluded to. Mrs. Fitzhei bert, whose age has of late been the invidious subject of female difcuflion, is nei ther more nor less than thirty-five the 26.h of next July, having beeil born on that day 111 the year 1756. ... 1 The constitUtion of the pedestrian ladies and gentlemen at the weft end of the town, mud be very warm indeed, when it is a known fadt, that one shop in the course ofone day, last week,fold upwards of Five Hundred Glades of ice ci earns. From Jersey we learn, that the inhabitants have obliged the French emigrants to quit that island ; heir numbers from Brittany, and the adjacent -a-ts, have raised the price of provision to a de cree before unknown. The fire which broke out during the night of the of May, at Brefl.iu,appears to have been more deftruftive than from the fir It accounts it was imagined. Seventy honfes, two bridges, h.ee churches, a convent, and several mills tull of corn, fell a facrifice to the flames. M. de Calonne has drawn a very large portion of his fortune from'this country in aid of the counter-revolution in France. The Polignacs, ind some other rich dillinguifhed persons, who are likewise of the Royal Party, have also con tributed very largely. CAPTAIN GROSE The literary quacks of the day elbow them selves so much into public notice, that they scarcely leave a niche for real genius ; hence we hardly hear a word to the memory of the late Captain Grofe, except the paragraph of his death, and the advertifenient for the sale of his books and drawings. i he late F. Grofe was lefc a very independent fortune by his father, at an early age ; but like many men of a sprightly turn and good parrs, lie did not reckon right for the evening of life fie engrafted carelefsuefs on a love of pleasure, and what was (till vvorfe, mixed the former in his business ; insomuch that when he was Adju tant and Paymaster in the Surrey Militia, his only two books of accounts (as he used pleasant ly to tell) were his right and left hand pockets —In the one he received, and from the other paid, and'this too with a want of circumfpecfti on which may be readily supposed from such a mode of book-keeping. His lotTes, however, on this occasion, roused his latent talents. With a good claftical educa- ion, he united a fine taste for drawing, and en couraged by his friends, as well as prompted by his situation, he undertook a work that will long remain a monument of his genius—" The anti- quities of England and Wales " —This was fol lowed by " The antiqnities of Scotland " A Treatise on antient armour & weapons of war —" Gambado on Horfemanftiip —" Military antiquities and History of the English Army — A number of private views—humorous books, prints, sketches, &c. &c. His last work, which is unfinifhed, is "On the antiquities of Ireland;" —To which place he went in the course of last winter, and where he died suddenly at the table of a friend in the 54th year of his age. This is a sketch of the literary hillory of the late F. Grofe, Esq. which, as it is, was exceeded by his good humour, conviviality, and friendlhip. Living much abroad, and in the best company at home, such as the Earl of Bute, Sir Joseph Banks, Sir Joftiuaßeynolds.and the feleifl members of the literary societies, lie had the easiest habits of adapting himfelf to all tempers and, being a man of general know ledge, he always drew out some conversation that was either nfeful to himfelf, or agreeable to the party ; he could observe upon most things with precision and judgment, but his natural tendency was to humour, in which lie excelled, both by the feletftion of anecdotes, and his man ner of telling them, it may be said, too. that his figure rather ailifted him, which was in faift the very title page of a joke. He had neither the pride nor malignity of au thorship— he felt the independency of his own talents, and was fatisfied with them, without de grading others. His friendfhips were of the fame cast, con (fan t and sincere, overlooking little faults and reeking our greater virtues. In fiiorr, he had a good heart, and, abating those little indis cretions natural to most men, could do no \vron<*. The address of the National AlTeaibly to t'„ e people of France, in reply to the king'? prodT mation, is such as might be from the enlighiened representatives of the French, a i U tio:i united among tliemfelves, and breathing a spirit of liberty, and internal union and harnio ny, they smile with contempt at the niachinati" oils of despotism, and even defy tile worlj arms ; and they express tliemfelves in that bo| j laconic, and sublime manner which highpalHous and views are naturally calculated to produ cc To ftibjugate the French empire, the iiitiv", mull be annihilated. Let despotism form, i 1 dares, such an enterprize, and i: will be forced to submit, or at (lie end of its triumphs find u u . thing but a heap of ruins." Here they seem ti, have an eye to the heroifui, and the fate of Nu mantis and Seguntum. A capital French house in the city, has within the course of a few weeks, received remittance* from Paris, to the amount of several hundred thoul'.ind pounds on account of the loyalilh; It appe irs til it ihe warlike preparations are Hill carried on in the pons of Ru3ii, wi;h much alacrity. 0n rile tqili of May, Admiral Krufe had taken tile command of the fqtiadi on at Crou ftadt ; but Admiral Tfchiafchagoff, who is to command the squadron at Revel, was ltill at Pe- terfbtirgh. The Mayor of Menehould pledging his head to the King and CVieen of France, that 110 harm ftiould happen to their Majesties in their way to Paris, puts us in mind of the Lord Mayor of Lon don, who declared, that if the Spaniards did ef fect their purpose of invading England with the Armada, they fliould be di Tap pointed in one thing, for the devil a bottle of ale would he leave in he Mansion house Persons from this country have made some pur chases of the church lands of France.

A prosecution was lately commenced in the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, against a Dr. M'Gill, for heresy ; but the A lie in bly difmifled the cause by a majority of 63 to 7— a proof of liberality, which llrongly maiks the difference between the present and former times. A society of gentlemen, of whom Mr. Thorn ton, Mr. Sharpe, and other friends to the aboli tion of the Slave Trade, are the principals, have undertaken an emerprize of lingular benevo lence. The difappointmenr in the loss of the question on the Slave Bill has excited them to pursue the fame object by different, and it is hop ed more fuccefsful means. They are about to form a settlement 011 the native coast of the ne groes in Africa, for the purpose of exhibitingthe advantages of cultivating their own foil, inltead of employing their lives in making each other (laves to foreigners. From what we can colled of the plan, it is proposed to invite, by the moll kind and generous offei s, the natives of the coun try to fend their children to this new feulemenf, to be educated in religious principles, and to learn the different methods used in the planting of cotton, coffee, rice, and such vegetables as suit the foil and climate, and to initiate therifingge- lieration to such habits ot life as may give thein some elevaiion in the fcaleof rational exiltence. We remember that this idea, which is one of those extraordinary stretches of lininanity that diltingiiifh the present age, was darted many years ago by the venerable Dean of Gloucelter, as the only effectual means to be employed for the removal of that grievance, the Slave Trade. The Royal Aflent has been given to an A».t of Parliament for the support of this truly philan thropic projedi. Our modern physicians have so many infalli ble cures that it is wonderful any one ihould he afflidted with any disorder—and yet the Bills of Mortality continue much the fame, or rather up on the encreafe.
