HENRIOT, Cornmandart-General. LONDCiN, March 19. According to the report of Barrere to the Convention on the 6(h, and of Amar on the 9th inflant, some unej.finefs had pervaded the minds of the peopje, with ' fefpect to provisions, which did not arrive in ftifficient plenty.—T his fcarCTty having been attributed to the manoeuvres of difaf fedted persons, flident in the,palace, sot . merly called the Palais Royal. Hcnriot, accompanied by the armed forqe of the different fe&ionS, went thither in the as * ternoon of the loth, and blocked up all the avenues, and made a general search. The number of dilaffe&ed persons found there, is said to be above one hundred. The search not being concluded in the evening, the citizens of course remained . under arms, and the avenues of the Palais were ttill blocked. It such an event de . fei ve the name of an infnrre6tion, such infuiTeftions have often taken place with • out producing any important eifefts. The Paiais Royal has always been supposed to be the resort of difaffe , « ; " Citizens, the time of deceiving is part I I promiied you the* naked truth ; and i is as follows : " The march of the columns orderei f " to travcifc the Vendee cQuntry has beei the means of dellioying 6000 rebels whi were fcaUered about, the re-taking of 1 very important polt in the interior of th country, and the capture of an immenf quantity of baggage. The banditti, whi ha 4 tfie audacity to enter Chollet, b ftriking terror into the garrison, hare bi the dust. 1 hey have been flam by a divi fion detached from the army of the north commanded by general Cordelier, whorl I sent inpurfuitof them. " Another divilion, under General Du quefnoyj has put to flight the main bod) of Charette's army, in the thicket, anc killed Bor 900 of them. On the 26th Pliiviofe, General Cordelier put 15 01 1600 banditti to the bayonet near Beau, prean, which has very* much weaked La Roche Jaquelin's army. Three hundred of the rebels have just been shot in the so rest of Pince; and many other advanta ges have been gained by General Haxo. " The trifling ill fucceffcs we have expe rienced and which have been so much exag gerated,' do not deserve notice. There are flill some numerous parties in the Vendee, who are so much more dangerous, as they alone occupy the right banks of the Loire. My predeceflors has allowed them too long a time to repose. We mtrft yet make very strong efforts to terminate this war; but if the i'oldiers will only fight courageously, and the principal officers fe<;ond my orders; if all the conilituted authorities will join me, and I if the Patriots are not milled. I swear that all shall be well." March 7. In consequence of some fditious move ments which have lately appeared in this capital, the administration of Police have is sued the following PROCLAMATION: " Citizens i Some new plots are at work. The enemies of Liberty are eve ry where uniting. Wicked men do not content themselves alone to monopolize and create a fictitious scarcity, but they attempt to take advantage of their crimes, by exciting the people to infurreftion.

(Signed) The Admimjlration of Police. Several Sections have, by proclamation, invited all the Citizens to carry to their refpeftivc committees the different copper utensils that they do not use, in order that cannon may be made of them. No person who held a pcnfion under the ancient government is to have a cer tificate of civifm hereafter, unless he can .prove that he has done some good ast in favor of the Revolution. The fame scarcity of meat still conti nues. A capon has been fold for 4.7 livres, at the palace of Egah'te, and a calf's pluck for 20 livres. From Toulon we learn that the Le He reux and Bonnet Rogeu are at sea. The Sans Culotte, the Genereux and Langue. doc, three more (hips of the line, are fit ting out; and a great number of other lhips of war are upon repair there. A great number of transports are also fitting out there; hut it is not known whether they are destined for Corsica or Genoa. At Brest, the fleet had a signal to be ready to fail on'the 23d nit. and a convoy of upwards of 100 velTels arrived there without any accident, from Bourdeaux. ' BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 17. LA F A T E TT £. C™ A <- Fi "p' t,ick •»'<* that the motion V-» whiatticul»i| y with the prefcm motion was .1 long friendfliip w ; ih one of the unfortunate r _ objects of it, Monficur La Fayette, a friendfhip q - which he has never yet had any reason to- re s bent having formed, This unfortunate gentle man, with three others, were kept tn close con finement by the king of fruffia, and to endea t vourJto[procure their release,' was the objefl of the present motipn. There wis one fail with which the generality oT the gentlemen in that d House were not acquainted, which was that n when the king of Pruflia had been applied to lor the release of these gentlemen, he had answered, that they were not his pnfoners alone, but the ® prisoners of the Confederated Powers, without e whnfe consent he could not release them. Upon this head we had the declaration of a right hon. gentleman, (Mr. Pitt) as a member of the Privy council, but this was not quite fufficient ; he y wilhed for something more lor the public fatis [t faction. In order to shew the good policy of endeavoring to piocure the liberation of Mon sieur La Fayette he must trespass on the pa ience ' of the House, while he related the tenor of that n gentleman's condufk from the commencement of the French Revolution to the day of his con. finement, in which it would clearly appear, that he had never departed from the 'straight line of f honour and virtue. To the particular obferva -1 tion of his condnfl he hao been led by that ! friendfliip which had so long subsisted between , r them, and which had induced him to watch it with an anxious eye. Any pcifon who had considered the affairs of France, must fee there ' 1 were four clafTes of men in that country ; the ( [ fit-ft grand division was into Royalists and St. , Publicans, the Royalists were again Tub-divided , '"to those who were advocates for the ancient despotism. and those who were the advocaies of 1 a limited monarchy ; the Republicans again ] were divided into those who wiflied for a po- j pular form of government by » representative a (Terribly, and those who profefTitig democratic ] principles, had established the present tyranny J which exists in that country. No man would v hesitate to declare which of these governments (hould be preferred, that no member of that ' house would hefirate to declare his abhorrence of a despotism of whatever kind, whether ol an individual or body of men ; and to give praise to a limited monarchy, under which we had enjoyed To many and continued bleflings; from the conduct of La Fayette it was brft to be seen which of these parties he espoused. MonTieur LaFayeite, he eoolcfled, had been greatly in strumental in bringing about the revolution of trance, and he believed that there were v-rv few in this country, who did not approve o> it in the fiift stage ; beyond a doubt they had in view the government and couftitution of thi, country, when they formed theirs anew, but from a vain hope of excelling that which' had flood the test of time, and procured general happmefs to those who liven under ii, they went too far, and laid in the foundation ot their constitution the feeds of its difTolution. He Ha ted that the mafTacres of the sth and 6ih Ofto 1-erhad been objected against La Favette *-s a crime ; what had been his condu£l ? he was at that time commander of the National Guards; he did every thing in the powerof man, to pre vent the horrid scene which took place ; he had been up sixty houri, fifteen of which he had been on horseback , nature, worn out with fa tigue, required foroe repose ; he ventured to lie down for an hour, in the mterim th« tumult re commenced, atiti the mifchief was done. It has been alledged by his eiumies, thsi he reti red to give an opportunity for the cotnmifTton of.their Violence, bui this he denied could be the oafe. What had been his conduct when the Jacobin Club had attempted to get an al'cenden cy ovrr the Nanonal Affcmbly, and had aflu ally proceeded to violence at the Champ Jt Mars ? h«' repreffi-d the rjotersat the he?d ot ihe Guards. After this when he found that the Jacobin par ty was getting fact into power, and that many of the Guards were favorable to that Taflion he resigned his command ; but he afterwards re'-af- Ttirr-eH .t, at the express felicitation of all the well dtlp l: d peopu <.t l arrs, md ol the Royal Fa mily themfe.'ves. It had been obje&ed again ft him alfo> that he sent an officer after the Jtirtg and Queen, when they attempted to., make their escape. This he was by his fitutrti °n in a manner compelled to do ; but his subsequent conduit showed how much he was the friend of Lewis, for when after his capture, it was proposed to try -him and bring him to execution, he boldly de clared in the aflembly, that if the)- took such a step, that at the head of the Nati onal Guard he would the next day pro claim Louis the XVII. this bold :yid firm declaration, for that time put a flop to their proceedings. The Jacobin part y had done every thing in their power to render this man friendly to their dtligns, but in vain._ The last public ast of which he took notice, was his conduct previous to the loth of August. The King, when he found his power almost reduced to nothing, and that all was in the most dangerous and critical fituatiop, dispatch ed on the sth of August, a to i-.a r ayette, who was then at the head of the army, as to the only friend upon whom he could rely, and as his last re lource. The mefTenger did not roach the camp till the Bth, which was too late, for on the 10th the kingly power w^ s completely annihilated. Commissioners trom the Convention came to La FavcU offering him any terms, and every honor which might flatter his ambition, if he would loin their party, but he refuted. Uut what was his conduct ? he refoked to yn° longer at the head of the at my, nor would ne lead them against his coun! try. but nevertheless he thought it his duty to place it in a state of security, ' ; X which he fcffe&aally did ; insomuch that gfcner»l GLirfait, thinking the momemdf retreat would be a good time to attadt the enemy, foiind them so advantageously ported, that he thought it best to defifh If he had delivered up the commiflioners to the enemies off his Country, or surren dered his army, his virtues might have been the fubjedt of a manifefto, or if he had carried off the money chest of the army he might have found an asylum; but having discharged the duty of a good eitizen and friend to his country, his re ward has been a dnngeon. ,Hc next ad verted to the placc where he was ma<}e prisoner, in a neutral country, the Bift oprick of Liege: under what circuri ftances ? Why under a promise from the Auitrian garrison, to whom he credulously traded, of protection and support, he was, however, with those officers to the amount of forty, who accompanied him made prisoners, from thence they were conduced to a port where the Prussians were then in power, who claimed La Fa yettee and his companions as the prisoners of the king their master. These gentle men were not taken as prifoiiers of war, but prisoners of state, for all were difmifled except La Fayette, and three others who had been members of the constituent As sembly, and were now actually confined under the denomination of state prisoners. He lamented the cruelty with which those unfortunate men were treattd, confined in subterraneous dungeons, denied the pleasure of mutual intercoUrfc ; and till lately, when they have been, as an extra ordinary favour, permitted undtJr the fs vereft reftridtions, to breathe the for about an hour each day ; refufed to fee the light of heaven ; and the only crime these gentlemen had committed, was be ing the friends of that constitution, we fay we wish to restore.—He observed, I that we were bound to use our power to liberate those men by the declaration of his Majesty to the people of France, in which he promises prote&ion to the friends of the constitution of 1789; and those men had (hewed,themfelves its mod stre nuous supporters ; for they had ventured their fortunes, their lives, and have loft their liberty for the cause. He contend- ■ ' ed that the people of Fiance could noi poflibly have any reliance upon the pro ! mifes of this country, when they fee the very great advocates of the conftitiuion incarcerated and treated in the molt creel manner by our allies, without any inter ference whatever on our part. He said, that our violence had drawn from the cause of royalty, many of its best friends and most able supporters, and drove them to defend the cause of Republican ism. He was certain the best mode for this country to (hew the excellence of its constitution and the attachment of Englifhmen'to the cpiife of true freedom, wherever it might exist, would be to interpose in behalf of those unfortunate men, and convince mankind in genera!, of the great blefllng of an humane and benevolent prince. The best way to convince the atheists of France of the superiority of Religion, would be by shewing them the practical exercise of one of its chiefeft virtues— Charity to the opprefled. There was one thing upon which he had not yet touched, which was the conchidl of General La Fayette during the war with America, but 'his he did not think could ooerate agai.ifl him in the mind of any liberal man ; there might be found for him a good apology, he was at the time of en tering a volunteer in the America* army, but nineteen, the fabjeft of a kingdom where military fame was so much prized, his conduct winked at, if not approved and encouraged by his mafttr; he was oertain that if any proposition could have been made for preserving the iife of that unfortunate King, no man would have the cruelty to have objedted to him, Irs conduit during t'He American war. He then recapitulated the several arguments he had used, and concluded bv moving— " That an humble addfefs be presented to his Maieftv, representing that the de tention of Mr, La Fayette, &c. was an act of great cruelty and injustice; that their liberation would tend much to the advancement of the common car.fe ; and that his Majesty would he pleased to take 1 such wife steps ns Ik- in his Roval Wis dom might deem fit, to procure their en largement." Colonel Tarleton the motiVn. In doing so, he profefled to decline wa tering' into she general c'iiri'mftances o French affairs ; of the c;vf s which led to the variuu* scenes which took place ia " % V '
