A PROPOSAL was made in the Natiiyial As sembly of France, on Tuel'day lad, that the Primary AHemblies lhould meet in two years to declare their aflent to, or diflent from, the New Constitution. Upon motion of M. d'Andre, this was rejected, and the following decree palled.: " The nation has the imprelcriptible right of reviewing the Conltitution when it pleases ; but the National AHembly declares, that its interelt dire(Ss the exercise of thi» right to be suspended during thirty years " The alleiublies of revision are not included in this decree. In the lalt ministerial note which pafled be tween the Ruffian minilter and the ministers of the allied courts at Peterfburgh, it was agreed that a period of four months should be given the Turks for concluding the definitive arrangement of peace ; it was further agreed that an immedi ate armiltice should take place, as soon as the Porte had given its consent to the basis of the pa cification. The Minister of the Eledtor of Hanover has published a notification, the fubltance of which is, that the King, his master, will co-operate in the important business now agitating, and con form to every thing which the welfare of the Constitution, the dignity of the Germanic body, and the duties of a ltate of the Empire may be construed to require. The notification, however, dictates more difcuflion and deliberation than has hitherto been entered into on a business of so much importance. Sept. 6. The new duties and regulations for •warehousing corn take place on the 1 Jth of No vember next. Mariners trading to and from the ports of Wa terford, Rofs, &c. are informed, that a new lan thorn has been eredied on the Tower of Hook, ■which is to belighted with oil lamps, reflectors & lenses, inltead of coals. This important impreve ment is to commence the 29th of September, and so to continue thereafter from sun-set to fun-rife throughout the year. The light will be steady, appearing the fame in a florin as in a calm, and not liable to disappear like that of the coals when stirred, or affetfied by the "wind. The new buildings to be ere<fted by govern ment for the accommodation of the Secretaries of State, are eltimated at i 60,0001. Declaration of the Emperor, in conjunction ivith the Courts of Berlin, London, Madrid, Turin, Na ples, and Peter/burgh. " The undersigned are ordered by their ref petlive Sovereigns to make known the follow ing : " That notwithstanding the glaring force and violence which both preceded and succeeded the a<sls ofconfent drawn from the King of France to the decrees of the National Aflembly, yet they had withheld their opinions as to the free will of his Christian Majesty in the consent above mentioned, but that the attempt made by that Monarch to obtain his freedom was an undoubt ed proof that both his religion, and his will, had been violently forced, and that the formal ar resting of the King, Queen, Dauphin, and Ma dame Elizabeth, occasions grounded anxiety as to the further views of the opposing party. " That the before-named Sovereigns can no longer forbear exprefling their feelings, and declaring the resolutions which they have been induced to take in the present fuuation of af fairs, and which the honor of their Crowns, the ties of friendfhip, and the earnest wilh for the good orderand peaee of Europe, require ofthem, and they have charged the undersigned Minilters to declare in their names, " lit. That they look upon the canfe of the King of France as their own ; that they require that that Prince and his family be immediately set at liberty, and free to go where they please, and to restore to his Majesty that sacred honor and fubmiflion due from a people to their Sove reign by all the laws of nature and civil Society. " 2dly, That the Sovereigns will unite to op pose and revenge any further attempts against the security of the persons, or the honor of the Kin g» Queen, and any of the Royal Family. " sdly, That they will not acknowledge any Other conftituiior. as legal in France but what has the unequivocal approbation of the King given when he is at full liberty to ad; as he pleases. " And that if no such legal constitution is fet tled, they will jointly use every means to put an end to that spirit of anarchy and confnfion so contrary to the regularity and good order which it is the duty of all governments to cherilh and support." [Signed by the different Miniilers. Sept. 7. The number of troops Jn Luxemburg does not exceed 4,000. lu proportion as order and tranquility appeared to be restored in.the interior parts of France, the Aultrian troops, partly to prevent desertion, and partly for less expensive accommodation, have been withdrawn from the French frontiers. An attempt to effect a counter revolution, by foreign force, mult now be the dreain of another fu miner. Cardinal de Lomenis, or, to speak more pro perly, the Bifliop of Sens, is chosen one of the members of the new French Legiflatore. Thefufpicion that the King of Sweden intends some hostility towards France, increases every day in Paris, by the addition of some new cir cumstances. He lately lent M. Ferfen, one of his otKcers, to meet the Emperor at Vienna, and is reported to have promised joining the German Princes with 16,000 Swedes. Sept. 8. The French National Aflembly has at length fiuiftied its labours ill forming a Constitu tion, and the Aflembly is about to dilfolve, with out having taken notice of the exiled Princes, or of the governor to the Dauphin. 11l refpeft to the former fubjedl, they have shewn evident fear of doing any thing which may tend to widen the breach. We have the belt authority to believe that the French King will not attempt to alter one tittle of the new constitution about to be presented to him. The University of Paris have fenta requisition to the Universities of Oxford and Cainbrdige,for the purpose of obtaining a copy of the statutes and regulations upon which those learned fenii naries are founded and conduced.

WARSAW, August 17. An answer has been received here fronj the Court of Dresden, to the note remitted to it on the fubjedt of the Succelfion by the Cabinet of Warsaw ; but the inclination of the Eleiftor to accept the Crown of Poland, is not exprefled with the warmth that was expetfted. BERLIN, August 23. The interview of Pilnitz is fixed for the 25th of August, and his Majesty, to be there, will quit the camp of Schilcke 011 the second day, and pro ceed to Dresden by way of Upper Luface.

His having taken the Civic Oath so affected him, that he could not be per suaded but it was the most damnable action of which a man could be guilty. r 9" ulc - tl,e Procureur Syndic General of Pans iflued out his writ to the Electors of the department to alfemble on the 26th, for the pur- P. 0 of P'-nceeding to the election of deputief for the new Legislature. 202 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF FRANCE. Deer:e of the 14 tb of June, respecting mechanics I. The abolition of every species ofincorpora tion of citizens of the fame eflate and profeffion being one of the fundamental bafesof the French Conrtitution, their re-eftabliftmienr, underwhat foeyer pretext, and in what form soever, is pro hibited. ' 11. Citizens of the fame estate or profeffion undertakers, those who keep shops, workmen' journeymen of whatsoever trade, cannot, whilst they are together, aflume the titles of president secretary, or syndic, nor keep regilters, pass de liberations, or form regulations refpeCling their pretended common inteiells. 111. All adiiiiniftrative and municipal bodies are forbid to receive any address or petition un der the denomination of a profeliloi) ; or to re turn any answer to it. They are likewise en joined to declare null and void all deliberations formed in such manner, and attentively to watch left thev be carried into execution. IV. If, contrary to the principles of liberty and of the constitution, any number of citizens, of the fame profeffion, art, or trade, shall form deliberations, and enter into a mutual compatft, to refufe in concert or to afford only at a certain regulated price, the aftiftance of their industry or their labor—such deliberations and compacts, whether accompanied by an oath, or not, are de clared to be unconstitutional, encroaching on li berty, and the declaration of the rights of man, and are null and void : and the administrative and municipal bodies are bqund to declare them so.— The authors, chiefs and instigators, wljo have given rife to them, drawn them up, or pre. (ided 011 the occasion, fliall be summoned before the tribunal of the police, at the inftatice of the attorney of the commons, —condemned to a fine of 500 livres each, and suspended for one year from the exercise of the rights of ac r tive citizens, and from entering the assemblies. August 2J The question on the admiflibility of the princes ofthe blood royal to the political rights of citi zens, was taken into consideration. Meflrs. Gu illaume, Voydel, and Roberfpierre, contended that these rights should be obtained for the prin ces, and that no difference fliould exist between them and the multitude. Others affirmed, with M. de Sillery, thac to deprive the princes ofthefe rights would be to degrade them. M. Goupil was ofa different opinion, and said, that this exclusion would not prevent them from being ufeful to the (late ; it would not, for ex ample, deprive M. d'Orleans of the advantage of again appearing at the head of our fleets. At ihefe words an alarming noise took place, toge ther with loud applauses, which formed a lingu lar contrafl to the silence of M. d'Orleans and his friends Messrs. Barnave and Muguet endeavoured to shew the absurdity of putting on a level with o ther citizens, those men whom the nation had pensioned to enable them to give a brilliancy to their rank. The discussion being closed, it was decreed, 1 hat the princes should enjoy the rights of atftive citizens. With refpedt td their eligibility to places to which the people have a right to appoint, divifi -011 \V3S demanded, which, upon being had re course to, gave a majority of 267 to 180, thatthe Princes fliould be ineligible to places conferred by the people. August 26. A decree was palled, (tating that tit • vases and utensils of bronze or of copper, belonging to the fupprefled churches, should be employed, like the metal of bells, in the coinage of finall mo ney. On a report made by a member of the commit tee of alienation, the aflembly transferred to the King's Comiuiffioner, adminiltrator of the extra ordinary bank, the direction of the sale of nati onal effects. It was decreed, That the members ofthe King's family fliould hereafter be called only by their Chriflian names, followed by the title, as Princs Francoifi, &c. September i, M. Duport moved, that the Constitutional Ai r t, after being once again read over, fliould* be pre sented to the King, and that no power on earth fliould be capable of making any change in it. After a warm debate it was decreed, on the motion of M. Camus, that the Constitutional A& lhall not be presented to the King till after being read over, and a declaration by the Aflembly that there is nothing more to add to it. Notice was given, that two of the departments had already nominated their deputies to the ap proaching Legislature. A Member proposed that every Legislator, on his arrival at Paris, should his name to be inscribed in the archives ol the National Ad'embly, " that when we fliould have finifhed our labours," said he, " we may know if our fucceflors have aflembled in fuflicien' number to occupy our places." This proposal was adopted.
