Tliele Lords re inonftrated to tliem, that an AHembly lb refpeft able, and which occasioned Co great an expcncc to the King and the nation, had not been called but on their account, and to fatisfy their com plaints anil demands : 1 hat they were there to deliberate oi! the means ot reforming the govern ment, and appealing the disputes of religion ; matters of so high importance, that they could not be decided, without the ptefence and con currence of the Princes of the blood. That if the Princes of Bourbon, after having so often de manded the reformation ofthe government, and an examination of the cause of the Hugonots, re - fufed to aflift at the States allenibled°for tliofe purposes, it would seem that they meant to trifle with the King, and insult the mijefty of an as sembly which reprcfented the body ofthe nation. That they ought hereafter, to impute to thein felves alone, their exclusion from dignities and governments, since they had nor deigned to come and receive the authority which the King ap peared dilpofed to grant them, with the concur rence of the Stares. 'I hat this condudt proving their little attachment to the service of the King, and the good of the kingdom, they ought not to be fur prized if the firmelt refolutiona (hoiild be taken to extirpate the feeds of discord, and ma nifeft designs to disturb the state. That if the King was disposed to reward such as gave him proofs of their obedience and fidelity, he was i J 1 ■ *•* ,v- ti iwuva «/ui .a* ceflhry fubmiflion, those who should attempt to refill his will, and cxcite revolts in the cities and Provinces of his kingdom; a crime of which he would fufpecft tlie Princes of Bourbon, as long as they should neglert to juftify themselves, and their absence and obstinacy should confirm, the injurious reports which were spread concerning them. That hitherto neither the King nor his Council, had given credit to them ; but that the King desired that, for the honor of the royal blood, the Princes would give proofs of their fidelity and of their zeal for the good ofthe state, and would juftify the sincerity of their intenti ons in the eyes of France, whole attention was attracted and fixed by the aflembly of the States. These representations made little iinpreliion on the Prince of Cond<?, who was resolved not to risque his person, in a place where his enemies could do all things. But his firmnefs was, in the end, constrained to bend under the neceflity. Cruflol returned to court, with an account of the aversion of the Prince, to come to the States. The Guises advjfed to employ force to determine him. The Queen did not oppose it : and the King took the resolution to constrain them by force of arms. To this end they fend de Ther mcs into Gafcony, and began to form under his command, an army contpofed ofGendarmary and al I the Infantry distributed in the neighbouring Provinces. The Bourbons were without troops, destitute ef every thing, /hut up in Beam, a little Province at the foot of the Pyrennees, wedged in between France and Spain. They doubted not, that if, on the one handthe troops of the King afl'em b led in Gafcony, and on the other, those of the King of Spain, who ardently wiftied to invade the feeble remains of Navarre, ftiould attack them, they fliould easily be subjugated and stripped of their dominions. The infurredtions which the Prince ofCondc had excited in France, had been attend ed with no fuccef,. He was in Beam without troops and without money. The King of Na varre who would not expose the reft of his llates, nor his wife and children, whom he had about him, yielded to neceflity, more powerful than any Counsels, and finally determined his brother on thejourney to Orleans, in the general persua sion, tiiat, especially during the fefiion of the States, the ministry would not take any violent resolution againftthem ; whereas, by obstinately remainingat Beam, they would expose themselves to the infamy which always accompanies the name of rebels, and ruin tlieinfelves without resource. The Cardinal of Bourbon, their brother, contri- WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1790. bated not a little to hasten this resolution. The foftnefs and ductility of his c L , aratfter, his aversi on to troubles, his tenderne{jy,br his brothers,and the insinuations of the QueeJt, engaged him to ride pod to Beam, 3s I'oon as'Jie learnt the inten tions and preparations ot the.court, to force the King of Navarre and the Pfiiiee of Condc to ap pear at the States. lie .exaggerated, on one hand, the nmr bewi.frmops .

They left, therefore, th? Queen Jane and her children, at Pau, and with iew attendants, all three together, took the road to Orleans. To be continued. FOR THE CA7.ETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. ODE COME ardent love, and fill mybreaft, Come in toy varied vesture r refs'd ; Coiled each fcattcr'd Haggling beam, Awake the lambent fires, And form one general, one deftroyh<g flame, "1 ill fated Ilavoc finks, and with fa:i^ueexpires; It comes—my labouring hofom fwc\hs, I burn with strong dune, Each weaker pailion love repels, And lights a general lirr.' ' It comes—itcomcs—l feel thCheU In every (Irong puliation bcatj Quick through the veins its dart, ") Kiom every pore irs fparklings start, v And the red life-blood boils about my heart. } Alas I rave J my {Wife and rcafon fly. And wild confufion whirls around each eye. *♦#***» But peace, a lucid hour succeeds— A fqori tranquility I feel ; ' My cooling heart in silence bleeds. And the red ftr<ams in fccret fteat Now o'er creation's ample round \ I eafl an r h'd '•je, y&t i\o onjetts here tne protpe6t bound, Save yon descending fXy. The stream that winds through yonder vale, The bark that courts the kindly gale, i lie breeze that sweeps the dift<rnt plain, And undulates the golden grain ; N The light and (hade, that fwift succeed Along the verdure of the mead, Afford no pleasure to my jaundie'd eye, But pall the fight, and force the deep drawn sigh. My friend whose presence once could charm, My every care 10 reft, Whose heart, with purtft virtue war m, Still warms a friendly breafl ; Alas I fly ! his presence pains my foul, And love, and black despair, each rending thought controul. To Icenes of fol'tude I go, Aud sigh unutterable woe; Even rocks, yvith sympathy, behold me weep, And tears refponfivc, flow adown the craggy deep. But why! ah whv do I complain ! Why tell my paflion to the world in vain ! All hope of happiness is fled ; My dreams of bliss are flown away, A midnight tcmprft (hrouds my morning ray— Dcfpair and darkness veil me in their shade. If I poflefs'd a De l i a Crusca's pen, An Anna's* ardour, and an Anna's art, My magic muse, might move ***»**'s iicart, And charm her ear, to hear the love-lorn strain ; Then fliould my numbers roll sublime along, And all my paiDon glow amidst the long. Or if my pen in plaintive verse, Would tell the pangs I know, Slow as the fad funereal hearle, The tale should sadly flow. Or if foft pity, e'er diftreft'd The heart that warms her "fpollefs breast, Still as the fill nt streamlets glide, Where fought impedes the downward tide, The foften'd founds, should flily steal, And learn her yielding foul to feel. Or if reviving hope (hould smile, And spread foft alluring wile ; Gaily I'd raifc the lively lay, In wanton measure flap, and wildly fly away. Or if cold frufty fear my bread should fill, And each young joy, each budding transport chill ; C o'li'd with dcfpair my every note Ihould move, And deep dcfpondeuce drown the dying dirge of love.

He was at the raking ofOczakow, Choczim, and Stawntf chame, where the Turks were entirely defeated. Frederic the great refufed in 1741 to take young Laudoh m into his fervites, laying he did not like his countenance: though this monarch, who was conftdered as the greatest general of his age, said, that lie often admired the positions of other generals, but that he ever dreaded the battles of Laudohn- In the year t 756, when but just entered into the (ervice of the House of Austria, with thera'.ik of Lieutenant Colonel, he made such rapid pro grcfs, that within less than a year, he was gene ral of the Artillery, and within three years, Commander in chief of the whole army.

The anfmer of the President of the National AJtmbly, to the 600 Deputies of the National Guards of France.
