Men of courage at last accepted the challeuge of royalty.— They lifted up its ganntlet, and instantly the hideous fpe&re disappeared. Soldiers of li berty ! remain calm in the midlt of the storm. Listen to the voice of your chiefs, and of the government which watches for ' you • preserve yourselves in that imposing attitude which (hikes terror into your ene mies both abroad and at home.

The republic has triumphed over the royalists conspirators. The constitu tion of the third year has this day cfcaped from t-he rage of those who wished to des troy it.

Should the agents of a counter-revolution establish a falfe legislature out of Paris, or remain in the legislative' body, you are re- : quired to oppose them with all your power, I under the pain of being declared in a state of rebellion.

In the ljte proscription of the deputies bv the legislative body of France, their fate appears to have depended generally. |on the opinion of a Angle member. As ' the names were read over in rotation in the councils, it was supported or pro scribed, on the declaration of any indi vidual. It must be imperious necessity, indeed, that can warrant so flagrant a | violation of every principle of justice. Barbe Marbois. We mistook yes terday in naming him among the new party. In the proceedings of the coun cil of elders, of which he was a member, we noticed the name of Marbgt, which for the moment we mistook for him. He is, we regret to find, among the profcribcd. Pastoret, who not long since pre sented a lengthy report on the 'relations' between France and the United States/, favorable to us, is also among the pro scribed. In short, the change- that has taken place does not add to pur former hopes of a speedy accommpdation of dif ferences.

LONDON, August 30. We yesterday translated literally the arti cles relative to a pretended peace between prance and England, contained in the Pa ris Gazettes, which we received by express. The late hour, however, at which these pa pers came to our hands, prevented us then from making any observations on the pro bability of the intelligence that they an nounced : but we are forrv to be now un der the necessity of stating that if is totally void of foundation. We have, indeed, every reason to believe, that these accounts have been fabricated at Paris for the lame pur pose that the L'Eclair was last year forged in London, namely, that of having an ef fc& ou the funds. The scheme, however, of the unprincipled stock jobbers who were the authors of this falsehood, appears to completely failed ; the iropref fion did not take place; for the flocks, which opened at 53 for time, rose only to 53 1-2, and soon fell back to 53.
