July 2J. Yesterday morning M. de la Fayette reviewed the citizen-soldiers of the department of Paris, destined for the defence of the fron tiers. InthcChamp Elifes. They are a fine body of troops, being composed entirely of youngmen, and amount to exactly 2000 in number. To morrow they are to march to Grenelle, where they will be joined by a detachment ofthetroops of the line. A prodigious number of people have been ar retted, on account of the late disturbances. All our pamphlets, journals, and even hand bills, now openly plead the cause of republican ism. A new periodical paper, to which the noted Paine contributes, has taken the title of the Re publican, declares the King a useless being, and a grievous burden, from which the robe ought now to be exonerated ; and whether Louis XVI, is a weak man, or a hypocrite, a fool, or aknave, he ought to fall into the common class of citizens, and to be no more spoken of,but under the name of Monf. Louis Bourbon. IVlonf. Cazules and Monf. Montloifier, two- of the molt loyal royalifts,as well as honett citizens, have resigned their feats, coucluding with Cato, that When yice prevails, and impious men bear fwav, The pofl of honour is a private ftaiion. On the whole, the majority of the Aflembly fee the neceflity of lenient and conciliating mea sures, but are afraid to adopt them. Our republican clubs are inafters over the people, and the people are the tyrants over the Aflembly. LONDON, July 22 The fpiiic of violence is now so strong against the King in Paris, that a memorial has been pre- fented to the National Allembly by a body ot the people, cjeclaring, " that they will never ac knowledge Louis XVI. nor any other king, un less the majority of the nation exprefles a wish to that efFetfh" In almost every street of Paris, some one or other was harranguing the mob a gainst the decree of the Aflembly on the King's inviolability, when themeflenger came away. Moderate people, however, th ink that the Na- tional Afletnbly's granting inviolability to the King was one of the molt prudent steps they \ could take to save their coilntry from the hor >'/ rors of a foreign war. It was next to an impof- that the Emperor, or the King of Spain, 'conld be quiet fpeiftators of a contrary conduit, and yet from the intefline divisions of the feve ral clubs in Paris, their late determination seems Jto threaten a ( civil war, unless some temporary L«j®edient be hie upon. ; ."Conflagration and plunder being now held as " proofs of loyalty, we (hall not wonder at hearing the deftruiftion of the Dutch dock-yards was oc casioned by the zeal of some loyal citizens. No circumstance could be more propitious to the accomplilhrnent of the French revolution, than the schism which has revolted so many of the (liAj des Jacobins. To this society were united all the lower clubs in the nation embrac ing republican notions ; its difmembermen!,and the institution of a new one by the difafFecfted members, will give a death blow to such ella blifhinents, and the people will repose, when tbefe nurseries of faction are destroyed, their implicit confidence in their immortal National Aflembly. Whatever there may be to admire in the plan of the new constitution of France, its effecfts are unknown, nor can we prediift by the experience ©f former times, for here is a something the world never saw nor heard of before. Its ad mirers boast that it is perfeift in all parts, but we have already found that it is not permanent in any part ; many of these laws or regulations, which were intended to be unalterable, have al ready been altered or expunged ; and though the whole system is built on a set of abltratft ideas, and of philosophical speculations, they have al ready experienced, that they mult, like all other legislators, yield to cii cumftances, and to the spi rit of the times. On these accounts, and from the additional consideration that France is at present under a system of martial law, its 'con stitution obliged to be guarded by an immense standing army, and the people fettered by the law of pallports, species of flaverv this country never knew, it was our opinion, that the time for celebrating an anniversary is not yet come. If according to their accounts, their constitution is built, we are certain it is not habitable, and is destitute of many conveniences, which a build ing, that they may think more mean, is actually poileffed of. From the late meeting in London, danger was apprehended,and very properly guarded againlt. In our opinion, the alarm however, was greater than neceff'arv ; and we could have wished, that instead of exasperating paragraphs, this meeting had been treated with silent contempt, or with ridicule only. But though London escaped the danger on Thursday, we are very sorry to learn that other places have not been so fortunate. Birmingham has been a scene of savage riot. Se veral houses have been destroyed, anci much va luable property, For a mob like this, no exctife can be offered ; nor can we conceive how this mob were allowed to become formidable without that earlv and firm oppofijion, which at once de stroys such combinations. The mifchiei that has happened, will, no doubt, be ascribed to the Mi nistry. " It will be said, the ministerial writ ers," as they are called, incited the mob to de stroy the houses and chapels of the Dilfeutcrs. Calumnies like those might be easily refuted, if a serious refutation were not a compliment to the calumniators. All that we (hall observe on the fubjecft, is, that the republican parry may now fee, thatthe spirit of the people is againlt them : they will therefore a(ft wifely in forbearing t heir public rejoicings and anniversaries hereafter, and reflect (it is an old do&rine) that no good man or good cifizeii will do that, though he may be free todo it, which will tend to dilturb the public peace, and create tumult and confu fion. On the 3d June, the managers of the Houfc of Commons, not conceiving it necelfary to rejoin to Mr. liaftings' defence, their lordships at half past two o'clock adjourned to their own houfc. Thus, barring the final decision of the lords, closes a trial every way a wonder—Prosecuted upwards of four years by the commons, and de fended in the brief span of two hours. The suspended sentence will naturally be ex pected with awe—it will be considered as the fiat of the greatest tribunal upon earth. The Empress of Russia is by no means of the Marquis of Lanfdovvne's opinion, that Great-Bri tain will bring her grey hairs with sorrow to the grave ; at least, (lie continues tothrovv from her all appearance of entertaining such apprehenli 011s. Te Deuni was lately sung in the Polish Church at Rome, by way of thinks for the advantages which the new constitution of Poland secures to the Catholic religion. The Pope assisted at this ceremony, and (hewed great favor to all who contributed to the grand event which it was meant to celebrate. Dr. Bennet, the Bifliop of Cork, on a late vi sitation of the Dipcefe, found a number of induf trions poor using their endeavours to support large families by the grain and potatoes of small parcels of land which were charged with tithes ; this good prelate, in the true spirit of Chrillian benevolence, not only remitted his (hare of the tenth of their produce, but ordered the entire a mount of his tithe to be dillributed among the deserving poor,'amounting toafuinnot less than 7001. It may be recommended to each of his dignified brethren,in the language of Holy Writ, —" Go ! and do thou like wife !" The Court of Diretftors of the Bank of Ireland have determined to add 240.0001. to the capital (lock of their Bank ; and for that purpose to call upon the proprietors of Bank Stock at the rate of 40 per cent, on their refpe<fli*e (hares, til be paid into the Bank by the following inftahnents, viz. 10 per cent, on the 20th of September,—lo per cent, on the 20th of December, —10 percent, on the 20th of March, 1792, —xo per cent, on the 20th of June, 1792. The naval force of Spain confills of 68 fltips of the line, amongst which are 12 of li2guns each, besides 4 of 58 and 1 54 guns. The Vienna Gazette presents a circumstance the more noticeable, as it is the only state paper iri Europe which has as yet given a decisive opi nion on the French Revolution ! —When that pa per mentions the chapge in the latter kingdom as a rebellion, and the National Aflembly as a felf created body, there cannot remain a doubt either of the sentiments or designs of the Emperor. The terrible fire which confnmed the arsenal at Ainfterdam, the Dutch are convinced was not the effect of accident. Each party accuses the other. The friends of the Stadtholder declare that the patriots did it to prevent a fleet beina sent to aid the French King's cause ; the mob have therefore infnlted many of them, and never were cockades sb frequent as now in Amllei dam since all who appear without them are maltreated. Extract of a letter from Paris, " Madame Bailli told a female friend, a few days ago, that were it not for her patriotifm,and the seventy two thonfand livres which the na tion, through gratitude, pour into her coffers, (he would make her hulband resign the trouble foine poll of mayor of Paris.—What a fine thino patriotifm is ! " A moll desperate engagement took place at Montpellier between the national guards and the aristocratic party—many were killed on both fides. M. de Botiille's hnufe, in the environs of Paris, wnslaft week ftript of every moveable that was thought worth taking away." July 23. A lerter from Gibraltar, dated the 2tl of June, mentions, that the Brother of the Emperor of Morrocco had excited an infnrrec non in the Province of Suz, and having afl'em bled an army of 100000 men, had to be proclaimed Emperor. 174 July 25.The King of Spain is doing „ erv thing poiiible to conciliate his army, after" creating their pay, he is proceeding to r-view the several corps. At that of the Carabineer, lately, he appealed in h IS uniform as Colonel „r the Guards, and the whole family under a f perb tent. Letters from Toulon mention, that the ines are become worse than ever ; they p v P „ regard to the colors of any nation, except to tlie Englilh, whole flag they never molelt. On Saturday came on in the Couit of Chr.nc« ry, the further hearing of the cafe of the Nn'iiob of Arcot against the India Company, when the Company's plea, that in quality of Sovereign, they were not amenable, was disallowed. ° July 28. A deputation of Diflenters yesterday waited 011 Mr. Pirt, to solicit the interp'odtion of government in difcoveving the inltirators and punishing rhe perpetrators, of the Birmingham riots. A promifeof every proper exertion to that effe<it was of conrfe made. In the space of twelve months, from July i jy o to July I 791, the quantity of Porter brewed iti London amounted to forty-nine millions one hun dred and twelve thousand, fix hundred and fixiy gallons. July 30. Yesterday two proclamations were is sued at the Secretary of State's office, the one of fering a reward of one hundred pounds for dif. covering and apprehending the late rioters at Birmingham; and the other offering the fame reward for dift'overing the author, primer, or ptiblifher of the inflammatory hand-bill, begin ning with—" The fectfnd year of Gallic Liberty is nearly expired." In the Aultrian Netherlands, the Emperor,ac cording to an account laid before the National Aflemblv, has forty-five thousand troops ready to a el; but, according to other accounts, they amount to very little short of an hundred thou sand, all ready trained and inured to war. 011 Thursday lalt a meflenger was difparclied with the final approbation of his Mnjefiy in Coun cil, of the Duke of York's marriage toaPrinceli of Pruflia. We hear from Birmingham, rhar every exer tion has been made for apprehending the dis turbers of public tranquility at that place; and that peace is now perfectly reflored. The lad accounts from Major Houghton, who was sent to explore the interior parts of Afiica, mention, that he was then about to depart be yond the reach of any European intercourse; and that it would be about two years before he wns likely to be again heard of. The Major na vels '-retty much after the manner of Monsieur Vaillant;. sht%. i. Mr. Hammond's appointment to the American States is said to lie for special purpo ses. The general opinion is, tiiat he is to form a commercial connection, and to promote such an alliance as may prevent the new Slates from making a similar Treaty with the Spaniards. Aug. 2. His Royal Highness Prince Eihvaid, has left Gibraltar,for America ; his retinue when failed, was rather domestic than princely ; a French Female, his own man, and Swift valet, composed his whole fuire. The princess royal of PrufHa to w!iom,the duke of York is fhortlv ro be united, is beautiful, ac complished, and not more than 24 years old. The marriage of a certain royal duke, is'confi dered by some as an omen of the confirmed celi bacy of his princely brother; nt lead that lie positively means to decline all alliances with io reign beauty The report of the coniniifHonevs for Hqnidat ng the national debt, lately made to the chan cellor of the exchequer, far the last quarter, be ing the 20th, dates, that there have been pur chased in the funds, 7,568,8751. stock ; and that the caih paid for the fame, amounts to the sum of 5,760,8961. 15s Bd.

DeLanceyarrived with an aid-du-camp, on Tuesday, froiti the king, to take command of the military ; and such was his majesty's anxiety to provide for the fecuriiv of this neighbourhood, that he had given orders for four thousand troops to march to onr re.iei from different quarters. Tranquility, however, being restored, the progress of the greater part of them will be flopped. Several of the rioters are taken, and more a' known ; and this day his majesty's justices v»s fit at the Swan Inn, to receive information (peeking the riots. The rioters who were taken at Mr. ' a " s n Belle-Vue, are now confined at Kales-Owc n > waiting their trials. , It is trusted that enquiry will bring out 11- origin of the late disturbances.
