THE enemies of our government insinuate that
the bank and the fyfLm of public c red it tend
to raise up great men to the prejudice of that equal
liberty which we now ertjoy. A certain Gazette
feeins to have been set up and kept in pay, in or
der to inculcate that opinion, and lev bring tlvfr
into abhorrence who arc pretended to have con
trived and supported those inOjKirion&for the pur
pole. Thcfc insinuations spare very few, from
the head of the government and its officers, to the
members ot Congress, and even to the
holding the property depending on these hated
According to this primary intention, we
entertained with such auxiliary scandal as the
wit and inouft'y ot the inventors can supply. We
are told twice a week, that public men make mo
'lcy by (peculation, the conrt is fafcinated with
its own glare and splendor, the corrupt minions
of power engross the government, the virtuous
old lepublicaris lament ihe decay ot the fpjrit ot
1 775"~ isa part/ silently paving the way for
a monarchy. Let any man read the Gazettes with
attention, and he will fay that if the government
and those who adminiller it be not the word on
earth, they arc (certainly the very worfl treated.
It is not easy to suppose that their foul suggestions
can, with any truth, be applied to a government
new and frefh from the hands of a sober and vir
tuous people—and this conviclion would go far
towards refuting the malicious pretence, that the
bank and funding acts v/ere made with an inten
tion, and that they really have a tendency, by
fifing up great men, to impair the equal rights ot
the citizens.
In every thriving nation the wealth of individu
als will augment. The savings of indullxy will
m a fund which will bt* inceflantly on the in
crcjfe. "The employment of this accumulating
capital will afford a profit, and this very profit
wll furnifh a new cayfe of Iwelling the wealth
of thccountry. No man will fay that to prevent
£'eat men, we will fuffer no rich men among us.
- 1 Un less you stop the course of inr*iftry, so as to
pi event its ulual earnings, and contrive by law to
hinder men from laying up what they chufe to
dv c in their expences, this capital wilT f<vcll in
j'nie into a great mass. But any attempt to regu
late th: gaining or spending piivatc property,
ill accord with our notions of a free govcfn
mentj'and wc are well allured such regulations
could never be carried into effect. The bank and
tunding fyilem cannot therefore be deemed me
foarce ot the political evil which is supposed to
lurk in the increase of the wealth of individuals, !
fiuce the human character will not ceale to pro-j
ducc it, to long as fcparate property is permuted.
We shall not readily fubm.it to ihc rigid laws of
for the fake of bamming gold and til-!
ver. Nor is it iteceiiary that a remedy •to repug
nant to nature, and Inflow and difficult* of opera,
noo, ihVild be applied to cure the ill elfetts .of
wealth. The means ot education are to Uiftufed,
that the many are incited and qualified to gain
ichei as well as the tew—The power ai ifiug trom
property will be every where ballanced oy the
multitude oi the Our laws too, have
provided an eiiettual means ot preventing over
sown fortunes from remaining long undivided.

Gon, which lome have entertained, of our being

stances to well adapted to a republican equality
ot rights.
Another rcfle&ion renders this confutation com
plete. It is a lound remark, that thole who hold
the land of any country, will bold the power,
livery day new diyifions of the old farms are mak
!iior-—new teulenvcnis are forming : the farmers
find a better market for their produce than torm
!c«W : their (kill in hufbandiy, their wraith and
influence as well as information, are rapidly in-
Tiiis is 10 -trn-, that where the mouieo
interell has gained at) ounce weight, the landed
mtprcil, lift vail and tin iving is our country, has
gained-a.pound.

bank, and the funds were created out ot nothing,

For has congrtfs provided that this prqpeity 111 all

in any dangerous icaft, our munnurcrs
hjive not lntovmed us.
But neither the bank nor fund:/; laws, have
created a dollar o' new property. It is true,
the new facility to trade and Circulation, produc
ed by thofelaws, has operated to the advantage of
the nation, as certainly as (and more permanently
than) an addition of silver and gold. Neither of
t Pro I e systems was firft begun in our country by
congress. The states had their banks, and had at
tempted to retrieve public credit before the con-
Uitution Was adopted.
Tlie enemies of government could not fee the
'ame mifchiets ftatc banks and (ia*e credit.
No fooncr, however, d>d congress touch thoic
fubjefh, no fooiier did iuccefs follow the milage
of those laws, thau»the foothfayeis augured. iuiti
from thefc a&s, unheard of, they said, among re
publicans, and framed for the purpofc ot creating

It i/nor ina i rial to difeufs the ijuellion, wheth
er this (illy ftdry can be credited by those who >
(ell it. To thole who think so illy ol human na
ture, as to believe that mifchiel is always intend
ed whenever it can be done, it will be enough
shew, that the means in question were not well
adapted to the pretended design, and therefore,
could not have been qhofen by men so wife and so
wicked, as the gazette supposes the public men qf
this country to be. The leader will judge how
| far this has been (hewn. In another paper, the
toiler, if He (hould have lcilure, will endeavor to
(hew from the nature of those laws, as well as from
general the utter falfity of the charges
which have been urged againll them and their

On the 9th, M. Condorcet in the name of the
extraordinary commiftion, stated to the Nation
al Allembly the various confiJerations connected
with the grand qijeftiojrof the Ring's forfeiture.
This pri;l*ipally of enquiries which
appeared to be decided by the committee t'lem
felves, who fay that at any rate the tfecifion ol
the AiTembly, -whatever fide of the queflion
they adopt, will inflame the paflions of the mul
titude, and the public tranquility will of course
be endangered.
M. Petion appeared at the bar—he (aid that j
a rumour having been spread that a plot was;
formed to carry off the King—the people had af-j
fembled at the Thuilleries to prevent it —detach-
ments of the National Guards had been ported
at the palace—and he believed the perlon of the
King was therefore in fafety. M. Petion re
commended to the AiTembly to pursue lenient
and persuasive measures with the enraged po
pulace as the most likely to prevent excefles.
The AiTembly, considering the present dan
gerous situation of the capital, decreed, that,
till order be restored there fliall be a permanent,
fitting. At midnight the alarm bell founded in
every quarter of the city—the general was beat, (
and the citizens hurried to arms ; soon
the afTembly were informed that M. Petion was
detained in the palace as an hostage for«the
King's fafety.
The aflembly ordered thatMie fiiould appear
at the bar—he soon appeared, and reported the,
measures he had adopted for the .public fafety—
he was applauded —and desired to return to his
duty ; soon after the hall of the aflembly was
surrounded bv an immense croud of people, some
of whom called o%t tlyit the court had become
the focus of the counter-revolution—and that
every law ought to be suspended, and give place
to that supreme law; the safety of the public.
August 10 —Friday morning—as day light
approached, the minister of justice entered the
147
hall imploring for the King the prtfte&ion of the
Assembly—while the assembly were deliberating
upon the molt proper ipeafunes to be
in this awful and alarmiug crisis; they were
informed that the whole of the municipality,
excepting M: Petion, M. Manuel and M. Dan.
ton, were fuperceded in their offices by eftar
blifhin£4 new temporary admiuiftration by the
people, yhich they denominated a general coun
! cil of the community.—That M. Santerre was
' placed at the head of the public force, who was
fjrbid 11 obey the ftaff officers, or any authori
ty, but them. The Assembly were again inter
rupted in their deliberations by news of attro
cities committing in different quarters of the
city. Some courtiers had been arretted—fome
of the King's guards, and an Abbe ; an alarm
was spread—the battalion of Marleilles, and oi'
federates from the different departments be
jca:i to fill the avenues to the palace and the af
lembiy—'demanding vengeance on the traitors
tiiey } had seized —-The unfortunate vi&ims un
derwent a mock trial, were convicted, and ex
ecution immediately followed ; they were put
to death in different forms, and their heads car
ried about on poles. M. Sullan, the Editor of
a ministerial paper, and the Poix for
merly commander of jftie body Of guards were
among the number. About iline o'clock almost
every person who could procure arms hurried
to the Thuilleries—calling out for the detlv'oue
mertt of the King.—The King attended by the
>wifs.rsghr&nt of lards, with the Queen, his
sister and children proceeded to the National
Aflembly—he placed himfelf beside the Preiident
— >ut that the Assembly might con&itutionallv
deliberate, he was desired to remove into one
of the boxes appropriated to the Editors of
newspapers. The assembly then font 10 com
miilioners to endeavor to appease the people ;
in the mean t#ie the detachments of the na
tional guards —citizens anjied with pikes—the
Marieillefe and federates attacked the palace,
wfticn was guarded by a boiy of Swils ; these
haid t>reffed by those who came again ft them
were "at length compelled to fire in their own
defence, and at firff put the mob to flight—but
being reinforced they rallied again and com
menced a heavy fire on their opponents —the
gate*; at'laft being opened or forced, an obstinate
combat ensued—the Swiss defending themfelyes
with great bravery, and the attack oa them
being continued with fury—the Swiss were at
length obligfed to yield to iuperior force, and
atmoft to a man were butchered —they however
fold their lives dear, killing several hundreds ot
their opponents. Among the victims facrificed on
this occasion besides the Swiss guasds and their
Colonel, M. d'Affrey, were, the Abbe Bouillon,
MefTrs. Carle, Mandat and many others. Attei
the mob had got poileilion of the im
mense crowd burst into the several apartments;
some of whom carried to the Aflembly the
OueenY jewells, valuable effe&s, money, and
important papers. The furniture, after being
inventoried, was taken to the fedVions, and the
papers to the committees of fafetj.—During
this tumult, while the noise of cannon was
heard in the alterably, and several iliots <?v;en
entered the windows, the members ftill'contin
ued their deliberations —the Jacobin party ex
.claiming liberty 1 equality J and all railing
tiieir hands to heaven and swearing they would
die to save their country.
Many members being absent, a call of the
house was ordered ; this being decrecd each
member took the following oath : " 1 swear
in the name of the nation, to maintain liberty
and equality, or die at my post." They then
pafled a decree, providing for calling a National
Convention, suspending the executive power,
the civil lift ; the fix minillers in office to exer
cise the executive power—the King and royal
family to remain under the protection oi the
legislative body, till the department lliaH pro
vide apartments for them at Luxembourg—
mean time to be under thefafeguard of the law,
and their defence entrusted to the national
guard of Paris; all magistrates, officers and
soldiers who shall quit their posts to be declared
infamous and traitors to their country.

of, war, for not having dismissed the King's
Swiss guards.
Augnft 14. This morning a letter was read
in from the commissioners sent to
the army of the centre, the letter informed that
they were received every where on the road
with blessings and the nioft ardent testimonials
of patriotism. . At Soiflons they had calmed the
miqds of the people, which had been thrown in
to a ferment by inaccurate accounts ot events in
tlie capital. The city of Rheims was illumina
ted on account of the King's being depofecf A
letter written in German, found in the pocket
of one of the Swift guards, was read in the As
sembly, and sent to the Court Martial. In this
letter the SWiss announced, that in 15 days the
Auftnans would be in Paris; that his regimei>t
would join tliem, to exterminate all who might
( prove unfaithful to the King. He added that
their pay had befcn augmented, and that tljiugh
provisions were dear, they wanted for nothing.
Among the various reasons ailigned for the
violent rrteafures of the people oi Paris against
; the King, one is, that he willingly declined ftnd
iog supplies tpr the frontiers- . ,
In contempiating„the.ri!*e, progreH) and rtlult
of measures pursued by the predominating par
ty in Paris, there appears to be a regular chain
of events leading to the fatal scene exhibited
at the palace of the Thjjiileries. The commu
nity, of Paris had lately suspended tbe Mayor
and M. Manfal; in order to effect a concert of
operations, the police oft he city was fiibverted
by the feftions, and a new system ihtroduced,
ia which only three members of the preceding
body were retained. The national guards on
the 23th June, bad given strong fympto/ns of
their attachment to the King—A new comm&>
der was therefore appointed in M. Sai.terre.
Detachments were made from the guards ; theic,
united with the Marieillele and Federate.,
tormed a powerful force, which cmld be de
pended on ; the command of wliich devolved
on IVi. Suntetre, who was not to obey the exit
ing lupe 4 ior oJiiters. This forte thus
and which appears to have been done at the ex
igency of the moment, ejected theobjeft which
the w ho<e bnmx-ls bears ltrong appearancss ct"
having l>een determined on.
M. MaiUat who was as above men

20 women who belonged to the C*ourt were
