PARIS, October 9. YOU will fee that the new Legislature verify the character which I anticipated. The difcuflion of yesterday, 011 the verification of their powers, dil'played their democratic features, for every one of the contelled elections were decid ed in favor of the known friends of that party. The cafe of the Abbe Fauchet was very llrong— and perhaps a principle (a bad principle 1 allow) was facrificed in his favor. Bot though they have so much of this tendency, I do not appre hend that they will trench on the monarchy,fur ther than by loading the civil lift with more of the public expences than now belong to it. This civil lift is a dreadful fubjetft of alarm to the pa triots, who affecfl to fee in it the utter ruin of the constitution. Englilhmen will finile when they are told, that this tremendous civil lift is no more than 1,250,0001. sterling, out of which his Majesty has to maintain 1800-Guards, besides to keep up an immense houfliold. This morning the scrutiny for a President and Secretaries is not yet over, but it is believed that the virtuous writer M. Paftoret, will be the firft eletfted President. It is a tribute justly due to his talents and patriotism. The ballot lies be tween him and M. Garancoulon. You may easily conceive that the appearance of the Aflembly on the firft day was truly inter esting. An entire new set of men, whose faces were unknown, coming all at once to replace the other, was a lingular and unprecedented cir cumstance—and it was rendered more so by the accident, that the several men who, but the day before had been the leading atfiors in deciding on the fate of the empire, were, in their renew ed character of simple citizens, placed as centi nels at the doors of the Aflembly which they had been accustomed to agitate and influence.—M. Dander, in particular, who had been the chief mover of the Aflembly, and the leader in all questions, stood ns a Corporal of the National Guard. Such is the spirit of that Aflembly which is de parted, and which will be memorable to the lat eft period of time ! That Aflembly who demo lilhed the most powerful delpotifm of Europe who triumphed over the ancient opinions, and the most inveterate prejudices of men—over the power of the king, the nobles and the church— over public force, court intrigue, and ministeri al corruption—who preserved an even tenor a midst the cabal, the calumny, and the rage of party within—the menaces of all the crowns of Europe from without—and who, having fubfti. tuted a government of freedom, peace and eco nomy, in the place of despotism, ambition and waste, finally pronounced on themselves a sen tence of diflolution, and returned back to the humble duties of private life. Even in this honorable condition they arepur fued by the fame implacable malice that was e ver adtive against them—and every wall is cover ed with insipid placards against them. Their answer is fliort and fatisfatftory—" Read the Con stitutional a<ft, and judge us by our woiks." YORK, January 18. Last Monday night, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, Mr. James Tate of Marfli- Creek settlement, in this county, was attacked by two trmed foot pads, on the road leading from Peach Bortom Ferry, within a mile of this boro' and robbed of his saddle-bags, which contained a large futn of money in ca/h and bank notes, a miniature pirfture, fee in gold, and some wearing apparel. The saddle bags were found the next morning in the woods, a few rods from the place where the robbery was committed, bereft of its enntents. fosi-OfncE, Philadelphia, Jan. 24, 1791.
