by their surprize ; the Constituent A (Tent My is upon its duty ; the constituted powtrs are in ac tivity; the Citizens of Paris,the National Guards, whole patriotism and fidelity are above all praile, watch round your Representatives ; the atftive citizens throughout the kingdom are in arms,anci trance may wait Jor ill enemies. " Are they to fear the consequences of a writ ing, forced before his departure, from afeduced King : It is difficult to conceive the ignorance and blindnesS that have dicftated this writing, whicfi may deserve to be further discussed heie after ; at present, your Representatives content themselves with examining some particular sen timents. " The National Afiembly has made a solemn proclamation of political truths, and ot rights, the acknowledgment of which will one day pro duce the happiness of the human race ; to en gage them to renounce this declaration of rights, the theory of slavery itfelf has been presented to them Frenchmen ! we have no fear in recalling to v.onr memories the famous day, the 23d ot July, 1789 —that day, 011 which the Chief of the Executive Power, the fit ft public functionary of the nation, dared to dilate his abfoiute will to your Representatives, charged by your orders to form a Con(lit»tion. The National Aftembly la mented the difordeis committed on the sth of Ortober, and ordered the prosecution of the per sons guilty of them ; but, because it was difficult to discover fotne rioters amongst such a multitude of people, they are said to have approved all their crimes.—The nation is, however, more jnfl. It has not reproached Louis XVI. with the vio lences that have occurred under his Reign, and tkofe of his ancestors- I " They are not afraid to call to your recol lection the Federation of July. What are the statements of the persons who have dictated the letter of the King, with respect to this auguftact ? that the fit It public functionary was obliged to put himfelf at the head of the Representatives of the Nation, in the midst of the Deputies of all the kingdom. He took a solemn oath to main tain the Constitution. If the King does not here after declare, that his good faith has been sur prised by seditious per lons, he lias, of courfe,an nounced his own perjuty to the whole world ! Is it necefl'ary to go through the fatigue of answer ing the other reproaches of this letter ? " The King is (aid to have experienced some inconveniencies in his residence at Paris, and not to have found the fame pleasures as formerly ; by which it is implied, no doubt, that a nation ougljt to regenerate itfelfwithout any agitation, without disturbing for an instant, the pleasures and thS* indigencies bf courts. As to the ad drefl.es of congratulation and adherence to your decrees, these fay they, are the work of the fac tious.—Yes—no doubt—of twenty-six milli ons of the ftiffions. •' It was necessary to re-conrtitute all powers because all the powers were corrupted, and be cause the alarming debts accumulated by the despotism and the disorders of government, would have overwhelmed the nation. But does not Roy alty :xij.l for the people ? And if a great Nation o ilig'es itfelf to maintain it, ij it not solely becatrfe it is believed to be ufeful ? The Constitution has left to the King this glorious preroga 1 ive, and has confirmed to him the only authority which he flioulddefire to exercise. Would not your repre sentation have been culpable, if they had facri ficed twenty-fix millions to the interest of one man ? " The labonr of citizens supports the powers of the Stare ; but the maxim of absolute power is, to consider the public contributions as a debt paid to despotism. The National Aflembly has regulated its expences with the ftrivfteft justice : they thought themselves bound, when acting in the name of the Nation, to a(st munificently ; and when they were to determine what part'of the public contributions jhotild be allowed to the firft functionary, tliirry millions were allotted for him and the Royal Family ; but this is re presented ae a trifling sum ! " The Decrees upon the fubjedl of peace and ■war, have taken from the King and his Minis ters the power of facrificing the people to the caprices of courts -, and the definitive ratificati on of Treaties is reserved to the Representatives of the Nation. The loss o( a prerogative is com plained of. What prerogative ? That of not be ing obliged to consult the National will, when the blood and the fortunes of citizens were to be facrificed. Who can know the wish and interests of the Nation better than the Legislative Body > It is wished to make was with impunity. But have we not had, under the ancient Go vernment, fufficient experience of the terrible effects produced by the ambition of Ministers > We are acciifed of having def'poiled the King ill forming the judicial power, as if.the King of a great Nation ought to appear in the adntini ftration of justice, for any other purpose than that of canfing the law to he observed, and its judgments executed. It is wiflied thnt heflmnid have the right of granting pardons, and chang 142 ing punishments •, but does not all the world know, how such a right"Would be exercised, and upon whom the benefit of it would fall ? The King could not have exercised it by himfelf; and having prohibited Royal despotism, it was natu ral to prohibit that of the Ministers. (( The necetlity of circumstances has sometimes obliged the National Aflembly to meddle, contra ry to its inclination, in the affairs of adininillra tion. It ought not to act, when the government remained in blame3ble inertness ? It is, theie fore, necessary to fay, that neither the King nor the Ministers have the confidence of the nation ! '• The Societies of Friends of the Constitution have fuppot'ted the Revolution ; they are moie neceflary than ever, and iome perlons presume to fay that they govern the administrative bodies, and the empire, as if they were the deliberating bodies ! " Frenchmen ! all the powers are organized ; all the public funftionaties are at their pods ; the National Allembly watches over the fafety of the State ? may yon be firm and tranquil ! One dai' ger alone threatens ns.—You have to guard a gainst the suspension of your labours—against delay in the payment of dnties—againft any in flammatory measures, which commence in anar chies, and end in civil war. It is to these dan gers that the National Affenibly calls the attenti on of the citizen,. In this crisis, all private ani mosities and private interests should disappear. " Those who would preserve their liberty, should show that tranquil firmnefs which appals tyrants. May the factions, who hope to fee eve ry thing overturned, find order maintained, and the Constitution confirmed, and rendered more dear to Frenchmen, by the attacks made upon it ! The Capital may be ap example to the reft of France. The departure of the King excited no disorders there ; but to the confufion of the ma levolent, the utmost tranquility prevails in it. " To reduce the territory ofthisempire to the yoke, it will be necessary to destroy the whole nation! Despotism if it pleases, may make such an attempt —It mill either fail, or at the conclusion of its triumphs, will find tnly ruins J" This Address was unanimously approved by the Affenibly, and ordered to be sent to all the De partments. LISLE, June 7. THE National Guard in the village of Lefquin flopped an ecclesiastic, who had a conficler able quantity of louis-d'ors, aifti one bag of Gi ver, in his carriage, the whole weighing 1691b. besides this, a quantity of aflignats, and foine rouleaux of Louis, were found upon his person. 1 his money is said to have been the firlt payment of a million to be furnifhed by the late Abbot of St. Benin to the Cardinal de Rohan, to hasten the pafiage of the Rhine. Thus the counter-re volution has received another pull-back. PARIS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, June 27. The Conquerors of the Baftile again came to renew their oath. M. Troncher, who had jnft received a note from the King, said that his Majeily desired to fee the Commiifioners at eleven o'clock ; but, he added that the Commiifioners did not think it proper to comply with this desire without the or ders of the Afiembly. The Assembly ordered them to wait on the King. In halfan hour the fame deputy returned, and said that the Commissioners had found the King in his bed-chamber, who told them that he had sent for them to add that he had forgotten, in his declaration to mention his having given or ders to M Bouille to protect him on his journey to Motitmedi. The Commissioners having told the King that the Assembly was informed of this circumstance, his Majesty replied, " I knew not that these or ders were known. I have nothing more to add ; my only in'ention was to inform you that 1 had given those orders." M. Defmutiiers then made his report, in the name of the Committee of Constitution, on the forms to be observed in the choice of a Governor to the presumptive heir of the crown. One ar ticle alone was productive of debates. < This was " whether the Members of the Legislature should be eligible to this office." It was at length determined in the negative. Art I. Previously to the nomination of a Go vernor to the preemptive Heir of the Crown, a lift of the citizens qualified for that office, (hall be drawn up. Art. 2. The members of the National Aflembly, divided into Bureaux, lhall make the neceflary fcruriny. Two Secretaries fiiall add together the fcrntinies of all the Bureaux. The lift of those who are qualified fliall be reported to the Aflem bly, and (hall be primed. Art. 3. The Election shall be by a plurality of votes. The votes may be not only for any of those on the lift, but for any one citizen. No Members of the National A (lembly fliall be elected. Art. 4. The Governor appointed shall, before the Aflembly, take an oath to watch over the life, and to promote the health of the prefumi tive heir, and to be refponftble for his perl'oll ' Art. f. All persons in the service of the n fumptive heir fliall be under the orders of t Governor. rfrt. 6. The National Aflembly wiH ; mm .j ately apply thewfelves to the formation of apl a '~ of education for the prefumpcive heir, in p u ,f u " ance of a former decree. At the opening of the evening fitting, a letter from Dunkirk was read, giving information tint the officers of the regiment Colonel-General ha 1 run away to Fnrus, and had taken with theili the colours, and the whole baggage. They had all attempted, but in vain, to corrupt the soldiers and to entice them to desert. A Monk was to be their treasurer. His apart ments have been searched, and in them were found 50,000 livres in silver; 200 000 litres go ing beyond the frontiers, were also intercepted. The trunks of the fugiiive officers have heeii seized, and therefore it is supposed they will soon be fhirtlefs. LONDON, Juue 30. A Spcrial Meflenger arrived at the Imperial Ambaflador's on Saturday last, who is one of the Emperor's body-guards ; he was only (even hours on his paflage from-Oftend. A long conference took place between Mr. Pitt and his Excellency on Monday, in conference of the dispatches he brought over. The report is, tha: they contsin ed information that the Emperor has been pre vailed 011 again to join his forces with those of Ruflia against the Porre—that the Danes have de termined to join Ruflia 111 difpiuing the pafi'age of the Englilh fleet up the Balti&; and that Swe den has determined, in cafe of a rupture between Ruflia and this country, to re-commence hoitili ties against the former. The French Eatl-India company, not with (land ing the general deprelfion of their country, main tain their credit in the 1110 ft exemplary manner;, to one house alone, a few days back, they remit ted in one bill, no less a sum than 40,000!. Jr y 7. Baron Horix, Referen.lary of the Chancer 1 the Empire at Vienna, has j 11ft published a^ which ismuch spoken of. Its objecfi is to that every citizen of Germany, who wai free, has, by virtue of such freedom, a ri aspire to any public employment or charge ever;—and that the exclusive right ■ which is claimed by the Nobility, has no other foundati on, than barbarous prejudice' Taniflioiied by igno- ranee We feetn to have at length reached the happy tera, when all the Gothic governments through out Europe, are to vanish and make room for governments founded on justice and reason, and conformable to tlie grand objects, for which so cieties were originally instituted. Despotism and Feudality are now at their la (I gasp. Mankind are determined to be 110 longer led like a herd of brutes. In lieu of an unnatural inllincft, they have substituted the light of reason, which now brings forth to view those rights, that have been too long concealed frqm the eyes of the people, and of those w ho govern ihein. A certain and infallible method of preserving French beans, potatoes, and other tender vege tables from being injured by the fpringand funv mer fro ft s :—Before the fun lifes, wash off all the white froft from the plants with a watering pot of common pond or spring water. The a - hove has been tried this summer and had the de sired effect. A gentleman aged upwards of 60, was, and had been for some years, violently afflicted with the stone and gravel in the bladder and kidnies ; he was advised to eat raw onions, and drink the juice of the fourefl: crab apples, particularly in the mornings, and to use as mncli of both as his stomach and constitution would bear at all times in the day ; by continuing the use ofthefe things about a year, he was perfectly cured, and re mains so to this day without any return of the complaint, and can now attend his bufinefs,which before he could nor, from the extremity of the pain. For those constitutions that cannot so well bear the strong acid of the crab apple, may be substituted in its room a jam or conserve made of the blackberry in its unripe state, while it is of a red colour ; let the juice or pulp be palled through a Iteve after the berries have been boil ed in a covered jar set in a kettle of water for five or fix horn s over the fire ; to every quart 01 the pulp or juice, thus boiled, add two pound* of lump sugar, boil and skim it, and so keep so' use.—Dose, a tea spoon full at night, or ofiener, if the constitution will bear it. Extrafl of a letter jrom Paris, June 2<?-_ " When the Royal raptives entered Pans, it is not a little remarkable, that of the immene multitude afl'embled from Neuille to the Thn' leries, no one pulled offhishnt to the King. e soldiers too did not appear under recovered arms, bnt, on the contrary, with their muJkets fli° u dered, thus /hewing that they were not do honor to, but to ascertain the surety °b Iloyal Family.
