to attend it. Tliis resolution, which left every man to do as he pleased, was represented as an intentional in sult to the Catholic worship ; and notwithflanding a heavy rain,the ce retnony wasyeflerday more pompous ly celebrated, great nuinber3 of the troops of the line and national guards attending, than if lio such resolution had been palled. The arrival of M. d'Orleansat Va lenciennes having been made a pre text for circulating a report among the troops, that the greater part of their officers meant to quit the ser vice. Marshal Luckner gave out in general orders, that he lliould consi der all reports tending to produce jealousy and disunion in the army as a personal injury to himfelf—and that he knew of but one party—the glory of France, and the maintenance of her conflitntion. The Secretary for foreign affairs, named Dumorier, threatened the world with a relignation, when it was in agitation to bring him to account for the fix millions paid into his hands for secret purposes, fnch as fo menting discord and revolt in the neighbouring countries. But when, through the interference of his good friend's, it was decreed that he might do -what he pleased with the inconsi derable sum, he condescended to re main in office for thegtod oj his country. Every time M. Chabot comes about with hisimpeaching budget, the ears of the auditory are wounded by in decent expreflions, slanderous re ports and criminal defamation,which, in the reign of the law, would have brought down condign punishment oil the head of him who would have dared to use them. On Monday he accused almost all the honcft men in the kingdom—his proofs, as he mo destly called the infignificant firing of evidence he adduced, were chief ly colleiled froin anonymous letters, the information of servants discharg ed from refpetftable families, for va rious difdemeanors ; drunken coach men, and lazy footmen—he denoun ced The Gazette UrtiverfA't as a dan gerous libel ; (because it never Si mulates to murther, or infurreiftion) lie accused La Fayette, Rochambeau, and the deceased General Dillon, as friends to a Counter-Revolution, &c. —Though hooted by his brethren, his documents were re.ferred to a committee, those excepted which cri minated the Generals, now at the head of the army. I fliall only fay one word more of mailer Chabot—it was moved by a member of his own party, that he fliould be sent to pri son, if not to bedlam. Gen. Arthur Dillon has been once more to the aflembly to solicit justice for the memory of his departed re lative i he was accompanied by Chau roont who begged permiflion to be present on the day of the report, he afl'ured them he would prove that his Gen. was all bravery, goodness, ho hour and talents ; the petitioners were received with diftin<slion. Lettsrs from Tournay, May 29. The French 3000 in number, at tempted to take by aflault a chapel, called Notre-dame-de-Bon-fecours— which is said to be rich. The Prince of Ligne was informed of it, and re solved to defend it with 800 grena diers. Having chosen a very strong station, he obliged the besiegers to retire, with some confufion. The Prince look advantage of it, pursued, killed 4c, and took 12 pri Toners, with some field pieces and provisions. M. Chabot a member of the Na tional Aflembly attempied to enter the terrace of Keuillans with a Tword cane, and was disarmed by the cen tinel Rationed there, who had posi tive orders so to do. In his anger at the supposed insult, which was owiugto a prudential re gulation of police, he wrote the fol lowing infelent letter to the King. " That the King of the French should prohibit entrance into his pa lace to perfens armed, the writer would think a precaution juftified by the distrust to which the conduct of the court has given rife. But to cause to be disarmed, nt the entrance of a garden, public in its nature, or by the permission of the proprietors, cause a reprefentativeof the fovereigu, sole proprietor of that garden, to'be dis armed, is insulting to the nation, and of a piece with that Aoftrian fy* tem which tends to debase the Ns tional Aflembly. Thefubfcriberhop«& the King of the French will give or ders that his cane be returned, and will take away a centinel insulting to the people we represent. (Signed) F. Ch a bot, Deputy." NATiO.NAL ASSEMBLY, June 5. The Hector of St. Germain l'Aux errois invited the Aflembly to affitl by a deputation at the procelfion of the Hofl on Thursday. An order was made to this effeifi, which was no sooner pad than several members mov ed that it ihould be reported, or in other words, revoked. On the other [fide it was said, that to revoke this oruer would be to declare that they had completely set aside the national religion ; and it was agreed that the Aflembly Ihould not fit on Thursday, that every member might be at liber ty to attend such religious ceremony as he thought proper. M. Arthur Dillon appeared at the bar, and requested a f'peedy report on the papers before the committees, in proof of the innocence and patriotism of his unfortunate relation viho was murdered at Li fie. The numbering of afligngts was fliewn to be no check to counterfeit ing, and the expence of it was calcu lated to amount to near 560,000 li vres on the large affignats, and to upwards of 2,000,000 on the fmair. It was proposed, instead of this mode of proceeding, to divide them simply into series, this way ; —2OOO affignats of the series of 2 livres, 10 sols, and so on, down to the affignats of 10 sols. This was adopted. At twelve, the order of the day was taken up,—the discussion on the Auftrim Committee. Mr. Chabot as cended the tribune to prove the ev idence of this conspiracy againfl the conflitution- [A sketch of this speech would be lengthy, uninterefling, and, to us, in agreat degree unintelligible. The French Editor concludes his ac count of the speech, as follows All the facfls, all the letters, all the depositions brought forward by the orator prove at least, that there are ill intentioned people, great crimes unpunished, criminals that ought to be prosecuted and be made to feel the severity of the law.— But ft ill one would ask, Where are the guilty ? Where are the members of the Au llrian committee ? We would wifli to hear their names, —to fee them Where are they ? The difcufiion was interrupted by Mr. Servan, who came to thank the aflembly for the confidence they had (hewn him, and to communicate a project which he conceived eflential to the fafety and tranquility ofFrance. A decree commands a repetition of the ceremony of the federation 011 the 14th of July in each year. M. Servan proposed a general federation on the next 14th of July, at which deputations from the National Guards of the whole kingdom should aflift, and then, that they should be organ' ized and aflift in securing the tran quility of the capital. Referred to the committee of legislation and pub lic inftrmfiion. We this moment received a letter, dated Rome, May 16, from which we extract what follows. " The Holy Father returned to this city three days after that fixed for his return. He is arrived in per fect health. It is impossible to des cribe the joy of all ranks at his fafe arrival : He was, in a manner, car ried in triumph to the Vatican. During the Pope's journey, a Frenchman, in a fn.all fifherman's canoe, was landing near the Pontini marshes. The centinel potted there alked the traveller who he was, and whither he was going. An answer was refufed, and feme refinance at tempted. The soldier fired, and wounded him in the legs. The tra veller fell, was taken and sent to rerrac.ne. He was searched— much go.d, silver, bills of exchange and o ther papers were found about him. A surgeon, who speaks French, was brought to dress his wound. Burn he to the surgeon, burn all my tZr'iuVA rewarj takcas nuch of that gold and silver aj you w; y/. The urgeon communicated the proposal to the civil authority, and the French man is lmprifbned 98 LONDON, June ij. The German Princes of the circles Alsace and Suabia have decreed, that no interruption on account of the war, (hall be given to the com merce of France with their States. The Eletftor of Cologn has demand ed of the States of his Electorate the I'ubfidies necellary for supporting his quota of troops in the army of the Empire, but they have absolutely re fufed them. In the Jacobin Club is a man called La Croix who made the following motion the day before yelterday : Takeaway the fcmalt Aujlrtan and \piit all the Generals in pr'tfon /"Chabot was Chairman, and thus anrvvered him—" Your motion is rather (trong, my friend, withdraw it for the mo ment, but don't lose it." The remnanis of antiquity—curi ous Hones—lllolaic pavements —pre- cious sculptures—even entire apart ments with their furniture, all in high preservation,• found lately at Borghefe, in Italy, are daily conveye4 to Rome. It is no longera doubt that* the above are the relics of the ancient city of Gabie, which was swallowed up by an earthquake. The affairs ot France, to the hap piness of the friends of the boman race, are mending apace. The Elec tor of Treves speaks friendly to the cause of Liberty. The Swift Cantons do the fame, and the King of Pruflia has been warned of the consequence of opposing the Rights of Man. The last accounts from Vienna stat ed, that 70,000 Rnilians had enteied Poland. The minister is dreadfully alarmed left Mr. Paine should write such a letter to him as he has addreil'ed to Mr. Secretary Dundas ; we cannot easily conceive that if he does, Mr. Pitt will not know bow to answer it ! On the 1 jth of May, M. Chalons, the French Ambaflador at the Court of Portugal, delivered M. Pinto, the Portuguese Minister, the declaration of war by the French nation against the King of Hungary and Bohe mia. The Minister returned for answer, that this court vsiihed well to the tranquility of the French nation, and that of the King of Hun gary, and that he was authorised to assure the French Ambaflador of the mod strict neutrality on the part of Portugal. The health of the Queen was ftil unsettled, but Dr. Willis had greai hopes of her recovery. Many Diflenters fay, that Mr. Fox has gone fufficient lengths in their favor. They approve (to use their fa miliar way of talking of their friend) of Tom Paine's book in toto. Now Mr. Fox has spoken decidedly againlt it—so that, although he has fljewn his dexterity at coalitions, he must " outdo his ulual outdoings," topre ferve their political confidence. God alone is the author of reason ; [no sublunary power therefore, whe ther under the shape of camps or can nons can blot it out from the great book of fate, which so many earthly kingdoms are reading at this moment. Prejudices and tyrants are, neverthe less, both very ltrong, and cannot be expe&ed to lose their hold suddenly. It is an acknowledged fa<ft, that every thing new is alarming to the ignorant and the prejudiced. Thus we hear the doctrine of the Rights of Man condemned by those who are incapable of underltanding its sublimity, and abused by men iii power who thrive by the ignorance of the former description of persons. With all the noile and noiifeiife a bout pro fee u ting Mr. Paine, we hear nothing of ihe atto»*ney-general hav ing received orders to prosecute Mr. Burke for a libel on the conltitution, or on Mr. RoPe for corrupt interfer ence in the Weftminlter election.

Washetolwk to Great-Britain for succours when Great-Britain had the powers of trance, Spain, America and Holland to contend with ? Was he to wait for inftrticftion at a time when the delay of a moment would rob us of every valuable possession in India ? Sure not. Common sense, natural n ru . dence forbade it. What he did was right, and hs mould venture to fay, if it was wrong Mr. Hastings alone was not culpable —The " black malignancy of mind" ■" The dark and deep malice of heart" did not singly centre in the bolom of Mr. Hastings.— Mr. Halt ings had accomplicesequally entitled to the full force of these epithets, so liberally bestowed by the honorable Managers—Sir Eyre Coote,M.r. Whee ler, and Mr. Francis, all came under the full force and meaning of the word accomplices to Mr. Hastings' guilt : together they must stand, to gether they must fall. Mr. Dallas pursued this idea to its; extent, and dwelt upon it with full force of argument : after which he went extensively into the condntfof Cheyt Sing, and continued speaking until five o'clock when the court broke up. In compliance with the Petition of Mr. Hastings to his Majelty, the House of leers will continue to fit, it is laid, on the trial in Westminster-Hall, and fee the end of Mr. Hastings' defence on the present charge, during the present felfion.
