PARIS, October 9.
YOU will fee that the new Legislature verify
the character which I anticipated. The
difcuflion of yesterday, 011 the verification of their
powers, dil'played their democratic features, for
every one of the contelled elections were decid
ed in favor of the known friends of that party.
The cafe of the Abbe Fauchet was very llrong—
and perhaps a principle (a bad principle 1 allow)
was facrificed in his favor. Bot though they
have so much of this tendency, I do not appre
hend that they will trench on the monarchy,fur
ther than by loading the civil lift with more of
the public expences than now belong to it. This
civil lift is a dreadful fubjetft of alarm to the pa
triots, who affecfl to fee in it the utter ruin of
the constitution. Englilhmen will finile when
they are told, that this tremendous civil lift is no
more than 1,250,0001. sterling, out of which his
Majesty has to maintain 1800-Guards, besides to
keep up an immense houfliold.
This morning the scrutiny for a President and
Secretaries is not yet over, but it is believed that
the virtuous writer M. Paftoret, will be the firft
eletfted President. It is a tribute justly due to
his talents and patriotism. The ballot lies be
tween him and M. Garancoulon.
You may easily conceive that the appearance
of the Aflembly on the firft day was truly inter
esting. An entire new set of men, whose faces
were unknown, coming all at once to replace
the other, was a lingular and unprecedented cir
cumstance—and it was rendered more so by the
accident, that the several men who, but the day
before had been the leading atfiors in deciding
on the fate of the empire, were, in their renew
ed character of simple citizens, placed as centi
nels at the doors of the Aflembly which they had
been accustomed to agitate and influence.—M.
Dander, in particular, who had been the chief
mover of the Aflembly, and the leader in all
questions, stood ns a Corporal of the National
Guard.
Such is the spirit of that Aflembly which is de
parted, and which will be memorable to the lat
eft period of time ! That Aflembly who demo
lilhed the most powerful delpotifm of Europe
who triumphed over the ancient opinions, and
the most inveterate prejudices of men—over the
power of the king, the nobles and the church—
over public force, court intrigue, and ministeri
al corruption—who preserved an even tenor a
midst the cabal, the calumny, and the rage of
party within—the menaces of all the crowns of
Europe from without—and who, having fubfti.
tuted a government of freedom, peace and eco
nomy, in the place of despotism, ambition and
waste, finally pronounced on themselves a sen
tence of diflolution, and returned back to the
humble duties of private life.
Even in this honorable condition they arepur
fued by the fame implacable malice that was e
ver adtive against them—and every wall is cover
ed with insipid placards against them. Their
answer is fliort and fatisfatftory—" Read the Con
stitutional a<ft, and judge us by our woiks."
YORK, January 18.
Last Monday night, between the hours of seven
and eight o'clock, Mr. James Tate of Marfli-
Creek settlement, in this county, was attacked
by two trmed foot pads, on the road leading from
Peach Bortom Ferry, within a mile of this boro'
and robbed of his saddle-bags, which contained
a large futn of money in ca/h and bank notes, a
miniature pirfture, fee in gold, and some wearing
apparel. The saddle bags were found the next
morning in the woods, a few rods from the place
where the robbery was committed, bereft of its
enntents.

He is happy to inform the public, that the work has been exa
mined by many gentlemen, clergymen and others, and has met
with their highed approbation; both as to the execution of the
printing, its correttuefs, and its cheapness compared with Engliih
copies of the fame size and quality.
As this very laborious and exceedingly expensive undertaking,
ts carried on folelv at his own cost, he is led to hope that all those
who wish to possess a large Family Bible, will so far encouragethu
