TRANSLATED FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. FROM THE LEYDEN GAZETTE. Publifhcd by Stephen Luzac. Taris accounts OK THE I2th OF FEB. THE sentiments occasioned by the King's lpeech of the 4th inft. to the N. Afl'erubly, are still in fovce. The citizens press to take the civic catb andinfcribe their names in the books which are opened for 15 days for that purpose. This «vic lift will prove the number of altive citizens, as hereafter no person can be admitted to any aflembly of the citizens, without having taken the oaths to the Nation, the Laws, the King and the Conflitution. Monsieur the King's brother has iubfcribed the Register and taken the oath, a complimentary address was made to him by a de putation of thediftriifl of Carmes,which prefent edthe register, to which he made a reply exprefl ing his patriotic sentiments on the occafxon. A very refpeAful address was also made to the Queen, by the president of the deputation of the National Afleinbly, the evening of the 4th, when they waited on their majesties to present the thanks of the Aflembly,to which the £>ueen made a gracious reply. The cogi'tiuns of Paris have voted " That the " King's fpcech* of the 4th inft.to the National " Afleinbly (hall be engraven in brafi, and fixed " under his bull in the Hotel de Ville, to Irani " mit to the remotest posterity his Majesty's pa " ternal sentiments, and the date of the gieateft ** benefit he could procure for his people by " adopting the Conllitution, whkh fecuies their " liberty. * See Gaz. No. 109. This municipal body moreover resolved to re turn solemn thanks to the Deity, for this event, and fay Te Deuiu in the Cathedral church, to which the National Aflembly were invited to as sist at the ceremonies 011 the occalion, the deputa tion for that purpose was headed by M. Bailly— The Aflembly acquiesced in the request. In order to concur with the uieafares of the l, the National Aflembly resumed the project n Address to the provinces, which had been >4 tLne iince voted, and referred :o the com ridpe of confticution. The Bi(hopof Autun.one *f that committee, and who had drafted the ad drels, read it the day before yeSterday ; it was read a second time yeSterday, and adopted after a considerable opposition, by the oppo(ite party speech of the BiShop of Autun on the oc casion, in favor of the address, was highly patri otic, and received with great marks of applause, cfpecially when he spoke of the clergy, " the clergy turned citizens, the clergy no longer so rich as to excite envy, nor so poor as to hazard contempt." In (peaking of the king, he obferv «d, " 1 hat he was no longer surrounded by a " corrupted court, which called itfelf the people. " But that it was the people which now truly " formed his court- The appearance of the day before yesterday confirmed this remark, when the King, with the Queen and Dauphin went to visit the Foundling Hospital. Instead of the imposing retinue, which lince the haughty reign of Lewis XIV. had sepa rated the king from his fubjeifts, whenever he appeared in public, an immense concourse of people followed their Majelties carriage, and lhouts of long live the King, the Queen and the Dauphin, resounded from every quarter. An augmentation which the King of Sardinia ordered in his troops, of i J men in the infantry, and 10 men in the companies of cavalry, as also the forming magazines and other military dispo sitions in Savoy, lias occasioned considerable noise. They write from Geneva that Baron de l'Epini, resident from the court of Turin, in older to quiet the apprehensions of that republic, and the Pays de Vaud, has declared to the lefler council, ' That these armaments were for no other pur •' pose, but to prevent the propagation of the « commotions which agitate France, and the « communication of the like popular inquietude " to Savoy " February ij The grand queition refpecfting the future fate of the Monadic orders»of France, was decided the day before yesterday—The debates 011 the occasion were very warm—The setting of the National Alfembly was prolonged until 7 o'clock in the "evening, when the following decree was pafled. 1 " The National Aflembly decrees, as a consti tutional article, that the law /hall no longer ac knowledge as foleinti, the vows of perlons of ei ther sex : and consequently declares, th4t the religious orders and congregations in whichfuch vows are made, are, and lhall renvain fupprefled in France, and the celic lhall not be eftablilhed again hereafter. All the individuals of either sex at prefenc in the monasteries and religious houses, may leave them, by making their decla rations for that purpose to the municipality of the place, and they lhall be immediately support ed by a reasonable pension. Houses (hall like ■wrfe be appointed for the reception of such as do not chose to avail themselves of this decree. The National Aoembly moreover declares, that no change shall take place lgr the prefeiit with refpecft to houses charged with the care of pub lic education, and charitable inllitutions, until Tome measures are adopted oil this head. The Nuns may remain inthehoufes in which they are at present—the Aflembly expressly exempting them from the decree, which obliges the monks to unite the members of the several lioufes into one. The National Aflembly v. snt in proceflion 011 iunday the 14th in ft. to assist the Commons of Paris at the Te Deum, at the church of Notre Dame, on account of the proceedings of the 4th. Detachments of the National infantry and caval ry, preceded and closed the march—from break of day until their arrival, the national soldiery lined the streets, and presented their anns as the representatives of the Nation palled through, who entered the church amidst the music of drums and trumpets, firing of cannon and ringing of bells.—They were preceded by a deputation of the Commons, lead by tlier Mayor. The Abbe Mulot, a regular canon of St. VitTtor, had the ho* nor to compliment them in the name of the Com* mons, of whom he has been president. Te De um was performed by a numerous orchestra* coinpofed of the ablest matters. There was age - neral illumination in the evening, and the Hotel de Ville was diftinguiflied by its^magnificence. HAMBURG, Feb. 14. The accounts refpecting.tlie negociations for peace, between the Empress and the Turks, which were said to be continued at Jafly or Hufch, a castle at some distance from the capital of Moldavia, are absolutely contradictory. The following intelligence may be relied on as au thentic. The Effendi who came to Hufch to treat about peace, has been recalled. Before his departure, he waited 011 Prince Potemkin, who pafled some spirited remarks on the conduct of the Porte, " That the Empress would no longer consider " lierfelf bound by her offer to content herfelf " with Oczakow and the Crimea, and trusted " with the blefling of God to convince the Di " van ofits imprudence, in rejecting her mode " rate and equitable propositions " At the in terview, he kept the Effendi standing, having previously ordered all the chairs and ibphas out of the room. BRABANTINE REVOLUTION. Extrafl of a litter from Brt/Jfelt of the I th of Ft 6. The meetings of the Aitembly of the Nation in this city, are very tumultuous—great objecti ons are made to the committee of Breda—and severe remonstrances are made against the usur pation of the sovereignty by the Nobles and Ec cleliaftics. Both parties are alfiduoufly at work, the one to consolidate their pofleflion of the sovereignty, the other to overset this edifice of perlional grandeur. A letter from the Abbe Leempoel at the Hague, profeflor of logic in theuniverfity ofLouvain, has been print ed and industriously circulated, which declares that the three powers which promise to favor our revolution, will give no assistance in cafe of ne celfity, if the least alteration is attempted against the plan of government, prescribed by the com mittee of Breda. The subject of this letter has been severely handled by the opposite party, in the meeting? of the Aflembly, and is considered as a political stratagem, concerted by the authors of the opposite fyfteni. Mr. Henry Vander Noot has in vain attempted to exert his credit and influei.ee, as piime minister of the admini stration, to calm this ferment, by offering to the affbeiates of the five fermens, another form of an oatli, which he hoped every one would be falisfied ■with, and take without scruple. This offer did not succeed. The connection with foreigners contri butes to disturb people's minds. More than one commiflary, or emissary from the neighbouring powers, reside at Bruflels. They are publickly named, one of whom has rendered eflential ser vices to the committee of Breda. Count de la Marck has returned from Paris, it is he, and not his brother, the Duke d'Ahremberg, who can manage the Belgian affairs in Francc. The se cond this family is not only at Bruflels, but gave the 14th inft. a splendid entertainment, as chief of all the fermens, to the officers of that bo dy and the volunteer companies, confiding of 240 covers. " Every one admires the invincible " devotion (faysone of the public prints) of this " respectable house—and the names ofd'Ahrem " berg and d'Urfel will be forever engraved in " the hearts of the Belgians." The report that this last nobleman had refuined liis place as pre sident of the war department, is not true, he still withdraws from the management of public af fairs, and is not the only person who is discon tented with the appointment of Baron Schon field to the command of the foreign troops in the Belgian service. To be continued. A curious Anecdote of two Negroes in France. IN the moll flourilhing period of the reign of Lewis XIV. two negro youths, the foils of a prince,being brought to the Court of France, the kingappointed a jesuit toinftru<ftthemin letters, and in the christian religion ; and gave to each of 500 the in a commiifton ii\ his guards. The elder, -who was remarkable for his candour and ingenuity made great improvements, more particularly in the doctrines of" religion. A brutal officer, upon some dispute, insulted him with a blow.' The gallant youth never so much as offered to refew, ic. A person, who was his friend, took an oppor tunity to talk with him that evening alone upon his behaviour, which he told him was too tame especially in a soldier. Is there, then, said the young African, one revelation forfoldiers and an other for merchants and gownmen ? The gaoj father, to whom I owe all my knowledge, has earneltly inculcated forgivenel's of injuries tome ; alluring me, that a christian was by no means tu retaliate abules of any kind. The good father replied his friend, may fit you for a monastery by his leflons, but never for the army and the rules of a court. In a word, continued he, ifyou do not call the colonel to ail account, you willbo branded with the infamy of cowardice, and have your commission taken from you. I would fain answered the youngman, a (ft confidently in eve ry thing : But since you press me with thatveeard to my honor which you have always (hewn, ] wj|J wipe off so foul a stain ; though I must own I ried in it before. Immediately upon this hede lired his friend to go from him, and appointee aggreflor to mefct him early in the morning, cordingly they met and fought ; and the brave youth disarmed his adversary, and forced him to ajk his pardon publicly. This done, the next day he threw up his commilfion, and desired the king's leave to return to his father. At parting, he embraced his brother and his friend, with tears in his eyes, faying, " He did not imagine the Christians were such unaccountable people; and that he could not apprehend their faith was of any use to tliem, if it did not influence their p: aftice. In my country, we think it no dilho nor to adl according to the principles of our re ligion." Bethlehem Stages.
