The National Aflembly having considered the urgency of circum fiances, and read the report of the Committee of Finance, accepts confidential ly the plan proposed by thefirfl Minister of State. Such was the decree 011 the Memorial of Monf. Neckar, after a debate which lasted from nine in the morning till half anhour past seven in the e vening. The Marquis de Montesquieu opened the de bate by reading the plan of Adminiftratiori drawn up by the Committee of Finance, in which were proposed the following reductions: Livres The houfeliold of the King Queen and Princes, 8,000,000 Foreign Department, 8,300,000 War ditto, . 8,900,000 Marine ditto, 2,000,000 Finance, do. x,000,000 Pensions, besides the reductions already made, 6,000,000 Intendants and Delegates 1,800,000 Registers and Farmers General 2,600,000 Mint, 1,700,000 Premiums and encouragements to trade, 600,000 The Royal Gardens, 36,000 Library, 62,000 Stud (to be fupprefled) 800,000 Contingencies, 2,500,000 Fund reserved for Lotteries to be fup prefled, x 73,000 Plantation of Forests, 817,000 Clergy, 2,502,000 Charities, 5,511,000 Livres 53,301,000 It next proposed to eftablifhtwo public banks, one at the dii'pofal of the Executive power, with *n annual receipt of 205 millions of livres, the a mount of the National expenditure after the a - bove reductions; the other, with an inalienable revenue of 27? millions charged with the interest of the National debt, and the expences of the pro vinces, the former of which was ellimated at 240 millions, and the latter at 29. Amotion was made to carryall the plate of the churches to the mint, for the benefit of the public. The Archbifliop of Paris immediateiy said, that the Clergy, who had often succoured the State in times of dish ess, were ltill ready to make the greatest facrifices for the good of their country ; and that they willingly give up all the Church plate, only reserving as inuch as was neceflary for diviue worlhip. This patriotic proposal was received with gene ral applause, but neceflarily gave place tothe main quefiion. M. de Mirabeati proposed an unqualified aflent to the Minister's plan. As it was too extensive to be difcufled in a short time, it was absolutely ne cefiary to confide in the vvifdom of its author. If it should fail, all Europe would exculpate the Na tional Aflembly and the blame would fall on M. Neckar —If it should succeed, the merit and the honor would be exclusively his. This motion was carried, as stated above, by 405 voices, against 127. In the evening, the decree refpcting the reve nue was carrried, as drawn up by M. Anfon, with foine amendments. September 29. A letter was read from the Jews, many of"whom had been driven from Alsace into Switzerland, and the President was directed to write to the mu nicipality of Stralbourg, in the name of" the Af fenibly, recommending them to the protection of the Executive Power, as equally entitled to the benefit of the law, with the relt of his Majesty's fubjeifts. PARIS, o<a. 14. TO MORROW will be the last day of the Na tional Allembly's fitting at Versailles ; they are then to adjourn till Monday, when they will meet in the great Hall of the Archbi/hop's Palace in Paris, and continue their meeting there until the new Hall in the Palace of" the TliuilJeries is got ready. The Aflembly will not in future have occasion for so large a space, as near 300 Members are al ready decamped, and many more only waiting an opportunity to do the fame. We have reason to believe that the majority of the Members of the Aflembly were extremely averfc to go to Paris, fearing their lives to be in danger. But the repeated invitations of the Pa risians, who would not be ealy them, at length determined their removal, though not be foie the Aflembly had received a formal Deputa ti°n from the Commons of Paris, who engaged to anlvver for the perfoual feccirity ofevery Mem ber. 1 he capital is again tolerably quiet, and things goon nsufual—The mob seems perfectly content ed with the imprisonment of the Royal Family, whose escape was so much theobjecft of their ap. preheniions. Their Majeftieshad another levee of the Foreign Ministers on Wednesday last, but the King spoke but little, and looked desponding and inelancholly. The Court was but thinly at tended, and had much the appearance of a dumb lhew. 1 he inoft particular circumstance which en gages the public attention at the present moment is the charge alledged by M.de Mirabeau, in the National Aflembly against the Count deSt. Prielt Minilter of State, with the answer of M. de St' Prielt: to the charge. This affair has made a great noise in the city tor lome days pall, and the popular cry was of courle considerably to the disadvantage of the Mmifter, who accordingly has thought proper to refute it in the most unequivocal terms, before that the accusation was brought to the proof. M. deSt. Priest's letter is addrefled to the Pre sident of the Committee of the National Aflem bly, to whom the charge was referred for inves tigation. It is rather too long for an entire tran "ation, but we fliall give all the material points of it : r Pre^ent the Comm ' tte ' of Enquiry. I UNDERSTAND that the National Aflembly has received a denunciation from the Count de Mirabeau, which is exprefled in the following terms : ° " A Minister, called the Count de St. Pi ieft, laid on Monday last to the phalanx of women \vlio demanded bread of him,—When you had but one xin S> you had bread in plenty—Now you have twelve hundred, —Go andafk it of them." I think it my duty, Sir, not to wait for your refearcbes, but to declare to you positively on my honor, that the fa# alledged by M. de Mirabca'u is maliciously invented ; nor have I furnifhed the jnghtelt pretext for the aflertion. M. de Mira beau does not fay he heard me, and I am willing to believe that he has been deceived. I declare 011 my honor, that I only spoke to a few women who entered dans I'xiLde BeuJ, (the King having oideredme to gothei-eand hear their complaints, and answer to them.) I believe there were an hundred witnefles who heard my discourse, and I doubt much whether one of them will affirm he heaid me mention a single word about the Na tional Aflembly. To the complaints of these five or fix women, for there were no more, I answered that the King had done every thing in his power to procure grain for the Kingdom and the Capital , that grain had been brought from all parts of the world ; that in short the care provisioning Paris had been fov two months past under the management of the city, to which the King and his Ministers, had united all their endeavors. I do not recoiled: that the conversation turned upon any other fub jei^—besides is it pollible tocall fiveorfix women a phalanx. \V ithout having the honor of being known to M.de Mirabeau,or having spoken to him in mylife, I ei thelefs hoped he would not have given ear to so trivial a circumstance on such flight authori ty, and only told by persons who a few days since willied to excite the people against the National Aflembly : I hope likewise my general conduct will place me above such an imputation. I have palled many years in the service of my country and have labored for its Welfare a-id „i Prince de Poix and the Duke tie ' Tli = among the perrons who heard inelW offer ro prove an alibi to every other L!v J"? 1 with these women, than what 1 have in?,?'

' Oct . 24. On Sunday, the celebrated Mole, Do. gazon, Dazinceurt and Fleury, performers at the French Theatre, or Comedie Francois, presented theinfelves at the bar of the National Afleinblv, and in the name of themselves and other perform ers of that Theatre, made an offer of twenty-three thou/and livres, to be paid into the Royal Trea luryonthe twenty-fourth of January next. The President thanked them in the name of the Aliem bly, accepted their offer, and did them the figna! honor to invite them within the bar, where the* staid until the Aflembly adjourned, His Majesty in Conncil was this day pleased to order that the Parliament which Hands prorogued to Thursday the 29th of this instant, October, should be further prorogued to Thursday the 10th day of December next. His Majesty in Council was this day pleased to declare the Right Hon. John Earl of Weftmare land Lieutenant General and General Governor of his Majesty's Kingdom in Ireland. Many persons who have travelled in France, and have never observed any other than white cockades worn by the military, are at a loss to know the reason why, on a recent occasion, the soldiers aflumed black cockades to teftify theirre turning loyalty. The reason is, black cockades are properly the cockades of the King—as such they were often worn, as old officers will remem ber, in the time of Marshal Saxe. Although neither the Madrid Gazette, norany other periodical prints appearing in Spain, take the least notice of the revolution in France, norits conferences ; nevertheless, there are some very interesting pamphlets in circulation, translated into Spanish, concerning these great events, and which are read with avidity and entliufiafmintlut country. The Emperor (on his firft return to Vienna, employed for an hour forthree fucceffivedays, ia offering up public thanksgivings for his recovery, and prayers for theprofperity of the Empire. His Majesty knelt 111 the inidft of the people, at the church of St. Stephen's and was remarkably fer vent and devout the whole time. THE BRABANTIAN TERRITORIES. The celebrated Vandernoodt, the Dr. Frank lin o'f Brabant, has been near aflaffination ! —Four desperadoes, from Vienna, lately went to Breda on this detestable expedition—and one of them 011 entering Vandernoodt'sprefence fired a pistol at him, which happily misled hiin. The miscre ants escaped, though closely pursued. A like attempt has been made 011 M. de Marino', at his feat near Breda—He had retired to this place ever since the senior Counsellors, to which body he belonged, were fupprefled. He was in his garden, when a Marechauffee of Auftrianßra bant came suddenly behind him, seized a ipafl e > andftruck him on the head.—He was refcueil y his gardeners from the violence, and the sent to prison to take his trial. Vandernoodt has long been obnoxious to tie Emperor—His manly and spirited writings lij fuccefsfully exposed that left handed Machine Linguet, and alio inspired the people of Bra an with the principles they poflefled when the LJutc Republic was formed.
