Jiarty, tell so many diiFerent stories as to destroy the credit of them all. They took all the arms, clifcliarged the prifoners,-and fuchofthegarrifon as were not killed in the firft moment of fury, can ied the Governor and Lieut. Governor to the Greve (the place ofpublic execution) cut off their heads, and lent them through the city in triumph to the Palais lloyal. About the fame instant a treacherous corres pondence having been discovered in M. de Fles- Selles, Prevoil des Marchands, they seize him in the hotel de ville, where he was in the exercise of his office, and cut off his head. These events carried imperfectly to Versailles were the fubjet't of two l'ucceliive deputations from the States to the King, (i jrh.) The King went about 11 o'clock, accompanied only by his brothers to the States General, and there read to them a fpeech,in which he asked their interposition to re-eltablifh order he i eturned to the Chateau a foot, accompanied by the States : They sent offa deputation,the Mar quis de la Fayette at their head, to quiet Paris : He had the fame morning beennamed Command ant en chef of the milice bourgeoife, and Mons. BaillY , former President of the Stares General was called sos as Prevoft des Merchands. The demolition of tlii Baftile was now ordered and began : A body of the Swiss guards of the regi ment of Ventimille, and thecity horse guards join the people : The alarm at Versailles encrea ies instead of abating : The foreign troops were ordered offinftantly : Every Minister resigned : The King confirmed Bailly as Prevoft des Mar chands, wrote to Mr. Neckar to recall him— ient his letter open to the States General to be forwarded by them, and invited them to go with him to Paris the next day to fatisfy the city ofhis dispositions. (r6th.) The King came to Paris. Omiting the less important figures of the pro ceflion, I will only observe that the King's car riage was in the centre, on each fide of it the States General in two ranks afooN-at their head the Marquis de la Fayette as Commander in Chief, on horseback, and Bourgeois guards before and behind. About 60,000 citizens of all Forms and colors, armed with the muskets of the Baftile and Invalids as far as they would go—the reft with pistols.swords, pikes, pruning hoSks, feythes &c. lined all the streets through which the pro ceflion pafled. The King landed at the Ho'el de Ville—there M. Bailly presented and put into his hat the popular cockade, and addrelled him and delivered his answer to the audience. On their return the popular cries were " VIVE LE RO\ , ET LA NAT lON : He was conduced by a garde Bourgeoife to his palace at Versailles.— Letters written with his own hand to the Marquis de la Fayette, remove the scruples ofhis position. Tranquility is now restored to the capital : The shops are again opened : The people resuming their labors, and if the want of bread does not disturb our peace,we may hope a continuance of it. The demolition of the Baftile is going on, and the milice Bourgeoife organizing and training The ancient police of the city is abolished by the authority of the people.—They believe still that people have fallen vidtims to the tumults of Paris.—We cannot find with certainty that any body has been killed but the three before men tioned, and those who fell in the aflault or defence of the Baftile. How many of the garril'on were killed no body pretends to have ever heard : Of the aflailants, accounts vary from 6 to 600 the moll general belief is, that there fell about thirty. Therehave been many reports of instan taneous executions by the mob, 011 such of their body as they caught in atfts of theft or robbery : Some oftliefe may perhaps be true : There was a severity of honesty obfervedof which 110 exam ple has been known : Bags of money offered on various occaftons, through fear or guilt have been uniformly refufed by the mobs.—The churches are now occupied in singing " DeProfundis" and " Requiems for the r-pofe of the fouls of the brave and " valiant citizens ixihohave fealednbith their blood the " liberty ef the nation." M. de Montmorin is thisday replaced in the department of Fo reign Affairs, M. de St. Priest is named to the Home Department. (21ft.) M. Neckar had left Bruflels for Franckfort before the Courier <rot there—We expert, however, to hear of him in a day or two. M. le Comte de IaLuzERNE has re sumed the department of the Marine this day. The spirit of tumult seemed to have sub sided, when yesterday it was excited again by a particular incident : M. Foullon, one of the obnoxious ministry, who, as well as his brethren had abfcor.ded, was taken ill the country, and as isfaid bv his own tenants, and brought to Paris. Great efforts were exerted by popular ib*i a(fters to favehim : He was at length forced out of the hands of the garde Bourgeoife, hung immediate ly, his head cut off, and his body drawn through ihe principal streets of the city. The Intendant of Paris, M. de Chauvigny, accused of having entered into the designs of the fame ministry, has been taken at Compeigne, and a body of 200 men 011 horseback are goniTfor him. I jull now learn that Bertie r de Chauvigny was brought to town in the night, and mafiacred immediately." PARIS, JULY 30. In flie storming of"the Baftile, the Governor, the door-keeper, with two or three others, were maflacred. Mr. Foullon, Intendant, has been kept three days, with 110 other food but hay betore hini, and afterwards was hanged by the populace at one of the cords which suspend the rcverbcres (lights) in the streets. The particu larity of the hay put before Mr. Foullon, comes from an answer he made a few days since : Being told the people had 110 bread, he replied, " Lei them cat hay." He is the fame who had pro posed to emit 100 millions, tournois, in paper money. Ihe Lieutenant de police, of Paris, has been hanged ; as well as Madame de Polignac's [the Queen s favorite] chambermaid. TheCcmte d Auois, M. de Polignac, and hundreds more have fled. All the country is in arms, the peo ple having broken open all the arsenals in the kingdom. \Ve are here under military duty, wearing the cockade of Union, white, rose, and blue. Unwilling to fuffer any troops in the town, we have done more, we have fired from the settees upon a small veflel bringingfome artificers : We will not fuffer any soldiers. The National Allenibly received a long letter in English yelterday, from that mad bigot, Lord George Gordon. M. Neckar arrived at Versailles on Tuesday evening last, and this morning he came to the Hotel de Ville, where he was re ceived will, every mark of joy and fatisfaflion.

I"he officers ofthe Eafl India (hips, in general, who have lately arrived from Bengal, complained that the trade there is entirely mined. The articles of merchandize which formerly fetched eighty and a hundred per cent, they were glad to d.fpofe of at hve and twenty per cent, under prime cost. This, they lay, is oc casioned by the heavy taxes which the Governor General has impof <d upon .hops, and upon every species of merchandize ; and flill m °'l By the vexatious severity with which those taxes are exacted. The Lngl.fh merchants, harrafled and difgulled with those pro ceedings, are felling ofi their goods, and (hutting up their flrops as fact as possible.
