The people have at last car ried their point. The commotions were men tioned in our last ; the dread of what mightfoi low the provinces, the patriotic conduct of the soldiers, and above all, the calm determined firmnefe of the Commons, have overset all the arbitrary plans concerted at Marli, the intrigues of the Nobles, and the insidious manoeuvres of the Hierarchy. The minorty of the Nobles, af ter exerting rheir last efforts and entering amoft spirited protest, signed by 66 Members, unW at lenghth with the National Aflembly on Thurs day, to the number of 48, were followed by others on the succeeding days. A great body the Clergy had already joined, but nearly an equal number ftillperfifted, headed by the Arch bishop of Paris, and the Cardinal de la Rochefou calt, Archbiftiop of Rouen. A letter from the King, however, put an end to this perfeveranct, and the remainder of the Clergy, as well as"i e Nobles, acceded to the union on Saturday aftel - The instant this great event took pl 3ce an immense multitude of persons of all ranks, many even of the most refpedtable condition, who had constantly surrounded the Hall, and 3 its avenues for several days, to protect tlicit R e " prefentatives, flocked to the Palace, and fill 11 1? the courts, terrace, &c. made the air refoun with their acclamations The King and Queen appeared in a balcony, where they remame a quarter of an hour to receive the blessings an applauses of their fubjetfts. His Majesty lC j into tears at the fight, and seemed to feel, in 3 its force, the joy, the coijifort, the glory of ing beloved. Under such happy auspices, t e is little fear of every thing doing well, . pecially as even the inftrud:ions of the No 11 J are decidedly in favor of a new Conft ltutl previous to their granting pecuniary aid ; voting by a plurality of the whole and not 5 ders, seems to be the natural consequence 0 great vidtory of the Commons ; it i s ' U PP°
