TRANSLATED TOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. FROM THE LEYDEN GAZETTE. Publiflied by Stephen Luzac. [A Paper that isconfidered in Europe asthemoft authentic medium of Intelligence—and as such circulates more extensively than any other si milar publication.] (CONTI NU ED.) ExtraCt of a letter from Madrid, 14 Dec. 1789. OVERNMENT has been very atjentive in VJ preventing the circulation of any papers the revolution in France—several how been introduced into Spain, and some translated into Spanish. The lnquifition "which'has relaxed in persecuting herely, now "watches over the political orthodoxy of the na tion, and has anathematized a number of their ■works. About three weeks since an Ordinance was pub lished hene enjoining all persons (excepting the Grandees of Spain) who are not fettled ui the capital, and who cannot produce good reasons for Haying, to leave Madrid in a fortnight, under penalty ot a fine of 50 ducats, in cafe of disobe dience. Ex tratt of ft letter Jrom Paris, 28 Dec, Among a number of matters, of consequence to this capital, but little Co to the world at large, few have affected M. 13ailly, and excited more general attention, than a plot which was disco vered latt Saturday, which was, to put to death the Ma vo r, and the Ma Rqul sdela Fayette. 1 he committee for searching the city immediate ly aflembled, and ordered foine perfoni to be ap prehended—the moll conspicuous is M. Morel, Administrator of the Royal Lottery of France. He was arretted on Saturday evening, and after having been interrogated at the Hotel de Ville, neither he nor the others were confined. It is probable that this report, like many others, is without foundation. M. Favras, anil his wife, who is said to be a natural daughter of the Prince An halt, and who were among the number of the arretted, mentioned in their deposition cer tain connexions with Monsieur the King's brother. A report immediately prevailed that this Prince was at the head of the conspirators. In order to contradict this report in the moil public manner, Monsieur came the day before yelterday to the Aflembly of the Commons of Paris, and made a fpeecli, in which he set forth his acquaintance with M. Favras, which had been in his fervke in the Swift-guards, which he left in the year 177;, from which time, until lately, he had no communica tion with him, when he employed him to tranf a<ft foine money negociations. He spurned at the idea of jultifying himfelf on this occasion, and explained his opinions which he openly avowed, and would always support—and concluded by fay ing, that the happinels of the King, and of the people, was the sole object of his thoughts and willies. A robbery was committed 011 the Chatelet, be tween the hours of 10 and 1 r on Sunday evening the 20th, by ten persons who broke in, knowing 'that it contained a large quantity of money pro perty and valuable papers,and among other things jewels of above 200000 livresin value, belong ing to the eltateof the late Dutchefs of Kingston. They were discovered whilfl filling their pockets, three were seized, and the other fe veil made their escape, four of whom it is said have fiuce been taken. The defence which the Parliament of Brittany is about to nrake at the bar of c lie National Aflem bly, where it has been cited, iuterefts the public attention. The parliament pi opofesto jultify its conducfl on the principle, That " it is out of their power to dispense with their oaths, which with the law of the Province prohibits them from regittering any law that has not been accepted by the States of Brittanny. The decree of the National Afiembly, of the 24th declaring Non -Catholics capable of filling; all employments, civil or military, as well as other citizens, affords Europe an example, which docs notexift among people, proudest of their repub lican liberty Ifthe like (pirit of this truly chris tian wisdom and charity does not pervade other enlightened nations, there can be no doubt but that an equitable toleration, a coiiltirution under which the rights of men and citizensare duly ap preciated, a mild climate, Agriculture encoura ged, and Commerce protected, will reltore to France that population, that spirit of industry, and aiflivity-—lll a word, that universal tranquil ity, which the fatal reign of despotism, under Lpwis the XlVth. feemcd to have ravifiied from it forever. Tiie speech of M. Brunet de Latu tnjE, deputy from the bailiwick of Nerac, which occalioned the decree, did him great honor. E'xtratt of a tetter from Petersburg, 11 Dec. The Empress among other proofs of her esti mation of the services of Field Marftial Prince PoTEMKtN, the conqueror of Oczakow, has pre fe'nted him with a let of brilliants, in the form of a crown ot l aurel, to wear round his hat, valued at rooooo roubles. I.t. Col. Subow, who brought the news of the capture, was piefented with a fnuiTbox, richly ornamented with diamonds Maj.Gen. Potoff, who delivered the key of the fortrefs, has been decorated with the orderof St. Ann. Prince George DolgorUCKl hasobtain ed the blue ribbon of St. Andrew. Lt. Gen.

La nature parlc aux cacur* de* Rois, tout comrac a «eux des par* NATURE speaks the fame language to the hearts of Princes, as to those of other men. i —Kings compare themselves with other Kings, or with fucli of their own subjects, as are nearest to them : and have the fame sentiments as pri vate persons, of pride, vanity, jealousy, resent ment and hatred arising from such comparisons. Francis Ift. after his afcention to the throne ; whether he was miffed by an imprudence of youth, or whether liecoufulted only his own be neficent disposition—proposed to liimfelf, from the firft day of his reign, to aggrandize the Prin ces of the blood, and load them with favors. To elevate in dignity, those who belonged to the Royal family by proximity of blood, he believed to be for his own glory ; having discerned in Charles tlie head ot the Branch of Bourbon, all the talents which form the great Captain and the able Statesman, he gave him the office of Constable ; and by conferring on him and the Princes ot that lioufe the molt diftinguilhed em ployments, he placed them at the head of the most important affairs of his kingdom. This it must be confefled was impolitic ; since it is al ways dangerous for the firft in office or command, to be over fond or familiar with the second—to confer too many opportunities of eclipsing his own glory or of drawing away the attention of the public ; or to offer too many temptations to ambition, rivalry or envy.—Accordingly the firft fire of this zeal abated : and experience having excited his jealousy, or policy revealed to him the leafons of the conduct, which his' predeceflors had liolden ; lie manifefted in the sequel as much eagerness to lower the Bourbons, as he had at firft di(covered of afFe<ftion to exalt them. fortune soon presented an opportunity favora ble to hisdefign. Louisa of Savoy, his mother, had commenced a law suit against Charles, for the Dutchy of Bourbon, in his pofleffion. Judg es, in those days, were not independent.—The'King thought that by influencing the decision, in favor of his mother, and by thus despoiling the House of Bourbon of the richest portion of their patri mony, he might accelerate the declension of a ci edit, tounded in part 011 their inimenfe riches. -Charles, in the course of the proceedings, discovered the manoeuvres, which were pradtifed to his prejudice, by the Chancellor Dutrat, by order of the King. Ihe indignation, which he conceived at this injury, and the apprelienfion of the rcverfe of fortune which threatened him struck him so forcibly, that, having negociated secretly with the Emperor, Charles Vth. and Henry Vlllth. King of England, he conspired against the State, and even against the person of the King. His designs were discovered : and neceintated to fly the kingdom with precipitation he afterwards bore arms against his fovereigu — He commanded the Imperial army at the battle of Pavia, in which after the bloody defeat of the French army the King surrounded on all fides by the infantry of the enemy, remained a pnfoner. The Constable, as a punishment of all these crimes was declared a rebel : all his estates were confifcated and united to the dominions of the crown. He was killed soon after, at the taking of Rome,; and there remained to the Bourbons nothing of that grandeur, which had infpiredfo much umbrage to Kings. Their mif fortunes did not cease here—Although Charles was deceased without iffiie and the other Princes of his House had not favored his revolt, resent ment in the breast of the King overcame his rea ion, and the Bourbons were deprived of the fa vours of the court, and baniffied from the go vernment. Their personal merit could not fof ten the hatred attached to their name. This ri gour it is true, dmyniffied with time, and in pro portion, as the memory of the past, and the dif advantageous ideas which the King had conceiv °l w m ', Were efFaced fr °m his mind. Ne ftrnSlH., C^ U '° ufl / a PP lied himfelf, to ob ftriKt all the paflages, by which they might have 1 etui ned to the pofleffion of those dignities and that power, to which Royal favor ha<f formerly raised them. These secret dispositions of the King were perfectly known loCharles ok Ven dome, now at the head of that House, who by his moderation, studied to dissipate the suspicions which were entertained against his family; in this view he reft,fed, during the imprisonment of the King, to pretend to the regency, which belonged to him, of kingwas set at liberty, Charles (hut himfelf up wiih his domestics leading a private life, without med dling in the government of a State, in which he saw he-was fnfpected. /Ul the other Bonbons after his example retired, as nuxh ,0 prove they were innocent of the revoltof the Constable. 440 ticuliers. as to mark their fubmiilion to the w ill of tj lc King, even when it was moll difadvantaoeous them. They avoided everything which could revive the dillruft against them : and, too open, lyin disgrace, to think of elevating theinfehes to those dignities which they thought alone fi|j t able to their birth, and too haughty to defceiul to thefmaller places, they renounced all the ho nors and offices of the court. The fame caufe produce the fame effects.
