In the session of the 7th the pre-| ficlent informed the AlTembly, that the order of the day was allotted to the difcufiion of the nieafures to be taken for the general fafety. M- Bvif fot was to open the business. M. La mourette, however, arose and inform ed the Aflembly, that he had a mo rion which he willied to make previ ously, That all thoi'e members who both abjured and execrated a repub lican form of government, or ove con j:[tin? of two hor/fes, fh'juld rife. The whole Aflembiy immediately arose, and solemnly declared, they never would fuffer, either by tlie introduc tion of the republican system, or by the eftablilhment of two honfes, any alteration whatever in the cou ftitiuion. A geneval cry of union followed diretftly. The members who fat 011 1 his fide formerly deiiosgjfclnted the left, went and mixed with the members on the onpofue fide, who received them with open arms, and in their turn went and placed thern felves on the benches on the left fide ; in fadt all parties mingled to gether. Scarcely had t'uey clone this, when the ap proach of the King was announced. He was received with loud and reiterated applauses. He was accompanied by his ministers, and plac ed himielf without ceremony beside the presi dent. THE KING'S SPEECH.

THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY. " Sire, u This memorable epoch miift inspire wit! ;he greatest pleasure all the friends of liberty. It is a dreadful epoch for its enemies, hence forth the nation is invincible. In vain tyrants conspire against liberty." Both tbefe speeches were received with the loudest applause. The King made Tome efforts to answer, hut was so much aflfe<sted that he could only fay, in a tone which indicated the utmost emotion, 44 The pleasure which I feel is delicious." He then retired, accompanied by a deputation, and the fitting rose, amidst the acclamations of Vive la Nation ! Vive la Liberty ! Vive le Iloi ! July 12.

Philadelphia, Sept. 8. ABSTRACT of EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. By the English papers it appears that on the 19th and 20th June, ail iminenfe body of the people of Paris went to the Tiiuilleries, and demanded of the King that he should fan ft ion the two decrees of the National Assembly ; one for the expulsion of the nonjuring and refrac orv clergy.; the other for forming a camp of twenty thousand men in the environs of Paris. The mob on the 20th June was supposed to con f;ft of 100,000 persons—they committed great ! excesses, and at length broke into the King' apartment. In the confufion a bayonet was aimed at the King, but the stroke was parried by the. interference of one of the National Guards. The King, by address and great pre sence of mind, evaded a compliance with the demand—and by subsequent accounts, it feenv; that thole decrees have not received his appro bation.—The tranfa&ions of the 20th of June, cau'ed a considerable ferment in the army 011 the frontiers, particularly that division under the command of M. dela Fayette. A petition t.o the National Aifembly was the coniequence, praying for an abolition of all the Club^—this was carried to Paris by M. de la Fayette, and P'efented to the AfTembly. Violent debates took place on the occasion, in which the most i'evere and pointed ftri&ures were made on the cond 116 VofM. La Fayette. He was compared to Julius Csefar, Oliver Cromwell, &c. and charged with dilating laws to the country at the head of an army. The result of the debate was a spirited decree, declaring that military officers, commanders, &rc. should not petition the Legislature on any fubjett except those im mediately relating to the army. The Jacobins appear to have been greatly exasperated at the condutt of M. de la Fayette—an attempt was made to burn him in effigy, which was prevented by the interposition of the National Guards. A motion was made in the AlTeinbly to fend M. de !a Fayette to Orleans as a prisoner—this how ever did not obtain—and without effecting his he left Paris and rejoined the army. A letter i- publilhed, fa id to be from the Kin.e of" Pnil'ia to the King of Poland—in which he fa. — u Whatever be the frienclfl 1 ■ that X 1-ave ; worn'to you - Mzjefty, and t ; H- inrsreit that I t.ike in every thing that concerns you, you will your re if believe that the state of tlu.igs i.oHg en tirely chained f nee tl'.e alliance t': it I c< ntraft d with the Republic, and t >c pre < > i tic ture biought 011 by tlx Confutation oft " Id of, i.

The EngliJli of all this is y that J Poland will bow the neik, dejputjm will re place the yoke which they have thrown off. Official accounts of the fuccel's of the Britifli arms in India, had arrived in England—receiv ed over land via Constantinople. Jljnke Ferdinand of Erunfwick died at Brunf the 3d of July, of an apoplexy. mM'he National Affembjy having declared by a i fclic ast that the nation is in danger—an ad- ifs to the people, and another to the army, Jras been published by their order; in which they 'all upon both, by every confederation that can move freemen to such exertions, as may diiap point their enemies and preserve the Constitu tion.—A letter from the King to the Alfembly, on the ioth July, informed them that all the Mi nisters in their resignations. M. De mourier, late Minister of War, had gone 10 Va lenciennes. —Great difolders took place in the galleries on the evening of the ioth. The mob hiflTed, hooted and even menaced the Alfembly. Voices were heard calling out, u Get you gone, get you gone—your labors are not worth your eighteen francs a day«"—The Piefident order ed the guard to restore order in the galleries— which, after forne difficulty, was effected.—-The Ministers, in the account which they gave in of the state of the kingdom, fay, that the frontiers would soon be attacked by about 200, 000 men, to which France had about 248,000 to oppose— that the King of Sardinia might be reckoned* among her foes —and that fbe had not a single ally, except America, from whom nothing could be expected, but supplies for her Colonics. The grand federative meeting took place in the Champs de Mars on the 14th July, and the clay pal Ted without any disagreeable occurrence whatever—the procerfions of the citizens, the military, &c. were splendid—The King and lloyal Family attended on the eccafior.—when he renewed the oath to support the Constitution. The Englifli papers further fay, that the pro vince of Holland, and the city of Amsterdam, had agreed to join Austria and Pruflla against France—and it was expected that the reil of the provinces would do the fame.—Meaiurcs are pursuing to have M. I'Abbe Mauryelertcd Bishop of Liege Adivifion of Poland between Austria, Ruflia & Prussia, & the King, is talked of—who i: tobeprefented with the smallest part. —The King of Hungarv has ordered prayers to be put up in His dominionsfor fuccefsagainft tLeFrench. —Great insubordination had prevailed in the French ar mies, to which may be attributed the partial 'needles gained over them by the Auftrians j but since the French Generals have got their troops into better order, they have £hewn them selves. in fcveral instances more than a match for their enemies.—The command of M. Je la Fayette's division of the army, devolved on M. d'Hangeft, during the journey of the former to Paris. M. Petliion, the Mayor, has publilhed obser vations on the events of the 2oth June. He attributes all to mere accident. The Mayor, it appears had been suspended—but a decree of the National Aflembly had restored him to the exercise of his fun&ions.—An Englifli paper fays, M. de la Fayette's army may yet save the French nation from deftru&ion—not by oppos ing the Auftrians, nor by fighting the Pruflians, but by marching to Paris, and in conjunction with the National Guards, restoring the Crown to its dignity, and the people to their lenses.— The Erg lifh Royal ijis appear anxious Jor a second Gen. Monk to Jhew himjelj in France. A writer in the Pittsburgh Gazette of last Satur day, speaking of the Excise Law, lays—" I con gratulate the Western Counties, of which I am an inhabitant, that the opposition to the law is on thr decreafe —last year it appeared as a committee chosen by a number of people in the different Counties, and came forward with some kind of powers ; this year it was not even the ghost of a committee, only a few persons assembled, notwiih ftanding a public invitation was given, end thofc but from two Counties; they endeavored to be come refpedable by attempting to drag in bye danders, but in vain ; they were abashed (their only merit!) and adjourned to a more obiciirr place, where they might foment divisions, and form tickets at their leisure " No Indian intelligence by the last post from Pitifbugh.

PROPOSALS FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, An ELEGANT FDITWN of the SACRED SCRIPTURES Of the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS, with the Apocrypha,' Oil a very large and beantiful new Type, andJuperjint Paper. THE great importance of the Holy Scriptures, imcrcfting to every individual; the divine excel lence of its do&rines and precepts, and the beauty and sublimity of its passages, have so long made it capital obje& of attentioo, as 10 preclude occa sion or opportunity for eulogium. The piety or entrrprize of individuals has pre fcnted this invaluable book to the public in a va riety of forms ; in some editions it has been highly cmbcllifhed with superb engravings, which have greatly enhanced its price ; in others it has been accompanied with voluminous commentaries, which neceflarily encreafed the size; while a va riety of plain cheap copies have generally diffufed the knowledge of the Scripture, and made the purchase ealy to every class. Without wifning in the smallest degree to leflen the merits of the various editions, whether plain or ornamented, which the public are already in poffeflion of, it is pertinent to remark, that very many readers of taste and judgment have exprefled a wiih for a Familv Bible unencumbered with ad ditions. There still appears room for another edition on a beautiful new type, superior in size and elegance to any bible that has yet been printed in the Englilh language, arid which, leaving the adventitious circumstances of ornament or com ment, may exhibit the Oracles oj God in their na tive limplicity. SPECIMEN OF THE TYPE. 5 And God said, d Let there be light: and there, was light. With refpe&ful fubmiflfion to the judgment and candour of the public, the following proposals arc offered : I.
