Jivres of the National Afiignats (about eight mil lions sterling) have now been burnt. Some few of the Departments have, as was anticipated, lent Addrelfes against the Decree of the 'sth, but tuey are extremely unimportant ; and we find, even by the exception}, tliac France is united 011 the qnettion of its Government by a King. At the celebration of the I 4th at Lisle, the head of M. de Bouille was carried in effigy on a pike, burned, dud the allies thrown in the air. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, July a 6. \l, pcfineiMiicCs. from the Committee of Con flitutiou. " It is upneceildiy to trouble you ■with arguments on the importance of a delibera tion on m.ptle of calling out the public force. Now that the revolution is almoin complete, you. will naturally be deftrous of putting a Hop to po pular tumults, and re eltabliihing obedience to. the law. A judicious law on ihe action of the. public force will encourage the timid, and iilence the calumniators of your labours ; and if any of the emigrants (huuld continue to shew hoitile in tentions, it will protect their property till new crimes oblige you to proceed to feqtietf ration. This protection will be the only revenge worthy of you, and the great nation whom you vepre fent." ■The plan propQfed*by the committee was. then read and adopted, by which infurrevflio-n or riot, under all imaginable'circujnitances,is .defined,and alt.perlons, whether enrolled in the National Guard or not, are required to succour the Gen darmerie Naiioruile.any magistrate or public of ficer, as soon as the words farce a la Locate pro nounced, without any other requihtion. A letter was read by. the Council General of . Corsica, written.on the news of the King's flighp, exprefling thgir resolution to concur in whatever measures the National Assembly (hould think fit to adopt for the protection of the empire,.but at all events to maintain that freedom which they had so lately recovered. A letter from Rethel announced, that General Bouille is encamped near the walls of the Abbaye d'.Ovyal vyitli an ai:my of near 15,000 men,which ,jycr«, the Nucleus of a more formidably, army that was soon to attack them holtilely. " Let them come," said the writer, ■' The Frenchmanintrepid when he fought for his Kings, will be invincible when he fights for Li- BERT V." The fallowing laconic addrefe from the citi zens of Verdun to the National Aflembly, was followed by twelve fofio pages full dffignatures : ■ we are' ready to die for the maintenance and execution of 6ur Laws." .. - ; 3°' Shalltkene he Jlill.any Orders of Knighthood in Francs, This queliio.n came under difpuffion.—M. Cu min, in the name of the Committees appointed to examine this question, endeavored to prove that military and honorary decorations ought, in a free Hate like France,to be considered as re compences si in ply to individuals ; and 110 longer to serve as a basis for colleflive bodies which the new order of things does not tolerate. M. Lang'iinus (hid, that it could only be by de stroying the orders that they should at length be able to cleanfeaway the remain's,of the dung hill of AtiJlocracy. M. Anthoine did not oppnfe the retaining some military recompences ; but hepropofed that the King, and the princes of his family, of wearing a blue ribband, (liould for the future be decorated wish one confilling of the three na tional colours. "" 'Meflrs. Regnhulr, Chabrautl, and la Panle, •fpolte in favour o-f the extinction of thie Orders. Without ihfifting thar all the orders ought to be prelervecl. M.! Malouet main-rained, that the prosperity, and even- the existence, of the fo reign commerce of France, depended on the re taining the Order of Malta.- I'he reasons which he adduced, for his opinion, however did not convince the Afiembly, which, after foiiiedebate, palled the following decree : 1. All Orders of Knighthood, or other Orders, all Corporations, Decorations, or external signs, which' luppofe difliniSions of birth in France, and fimilaronesfhall notbeeftabliihed in future. 2. The military decoration at present exilting being, like every honorary recompense, pure ly individual and personal, cannot serve as a basis to any corporation, and there cannot be exacted, upon conferring it, any other oath than the Civic one. The decoration of the heretofore Orthr of■ Merit (hall hereafter be eonfidered as the fame with that of Sr. Louis. 3. No Frenchman (hall he permitted to take any of the qualities and titles fupprefied by the decrees of 19th of June 1790 —even not by ad ding to their names the words heretojore, ire. No piibljc officer can receive any co'mmiffion, deed or other writing in which these qualities Inall make a part, The Committees of Con stitution and Criminal Jurisprudence fliall make out a plan of a decree refpec r Cing the ptiniihmenfs to be inflicfted on thole who fball infringe this law. 4.

On the motion of M. Tranchet, the following addition, founded upon the firft article, was adopted : 1 .

The election of a Governor for the Dauphin ftiould next have taken place ; but M.

LONDON, July IJ. Mr. Paine the author of the Rights of Man,' arrived in town 011 Wednefd^y. Great numbers of French officers are at prefentj in the Ruffian navy ; and one of these, Mr. Tre-j venfai, has lately been.promoted to the rank of, Vice-Admiral. He commands one division of the ? flotilla, and has a Dutch officer, M, Pehffier, for" his captain. The Admiralty at Ainfterdam, lately destroyed by fire," not'without suspicion of private incendi afres,'wars esteemed the niofl magnificent naval emporium of Europe. ' i July 30. They write from Paris, that the eyest of all'are turned towards the frontiers ; an at- tack of a very formidable nature being confident ly lookecl-for. This is to be directed by the Prince of Conde, against the Department of the Meufe the Moselle, where Ivl. Bouille command ed. This Prince will rn'ake his invasion at the head of 7000 or 8000 gentlemen volunteers, fii'p po.rted by another body of 8000 or 10000 men, levied and paid by the emigrants, and the two brothers of the King- f ~ > ' r, . Twenty thousand citizens of Paris have en rolled their names as volunteers to proceed to the frontiers. Only 4,560 have been admitted to the honor of mart-hirig for the present. Acon (lderable number of young gentlemen of Paris have offered to mount themlelves, and to go at their own ex'pence to form a body of light horse. But this offer has been declined, as tending to in troduce into the National Guard a particular or der. The number of rioters killed 111 the la re affray is not yet known. The detatchment of National Guards was, upon that oCcasion, followed by carts, into which the (lain were immediately thrown, that the populace might not be irritated to further violence by a view of the dead bodies. The Americans have always profefled to consi der the King of France as their friend. Since the revolution there,is hardly a man in any of the new states who is not attached to the Nation al Aflenibly, which they consider as actuated by the fame ideas as influenced the deliberations and decisions of Congress during the American war. Monsieur Fayette has a critical and difficult talk to perform; His popnlarity has ebb'd- and flow'd at leall twenty tiniSs within the last fix months, The American China Trade increases very ra pidly. The greater part of the tea consumed in our Weft-India Islands is smuggled into them from Boston, New-York, and Philadelphia. The dungeon or gaol at Birmingham was' crowded oa Friday last with the most active of, the rioters. Deriving confidence from their' numbers, they began to be unruly ; and,thegaol ery in imitation of his betters, began an address through the key-hole with Friends and Fellovi- Churckmen. . Arig. i. It is afTerred in all the foreign papers, that the King of Sweden has received the Mar quis de Bouille into his service, with the fame rank and appointments that lie formerly enjoyed in that of his Moll Clu iftian Majelly. During his stay at Spa, aconfpiracy against his per foil was discovered, and one of the conspira tors taken into confinement. COUNTER REVOLUTION What rumour has long without fufficient like lihood affirmed, seems now to wear an afpeift more serious. From the frontiers, paHengers as-! fert that every day small parties of Auihian troops arrive, 20, 40, and frequently 60 together, generally in disguise. About 200 folciiers have deserted from the regiments of Berwick and Lie geois, to join the royal party. Ihe troops of the Emperor, which arc now ported adjoining to, and on the hanks ot the Rhine, are said to amount to nolefs than 170,000 men. ]M. de Rouille lias had frequent conferences with the King of Sweden fiucc his reception into his Majesty's service. 178 At !in earl v period we submitted tfi fte poblie llie plea ft n g ,infr>r irt ati on thart'nVlhe £th 7t j, ainV Sch days # Jfttne feveral^* o p o f lti ; ons nijute to :hfe Emprefc o,f KW|fiaTro«<»nrCouit by Mr. Fawkner,- for . the accfJTtrplifhment of peacc between the courts of Peterfburgh and Con stantinople, had been acceded to ~o n~the pa rt 0 f her' Imperial Majefly, and only waited the rati -fixation ©f the Divan. - T'hat rarificaiiori being acquired, and the Bel ligerent Powers having mutually pledged tliem fflves toefteet and perpetuate t he- eat o<>je<ft...
