•t h'unfelf the manner in which they (hould be introduced. They were topafs through thegate des Feuillans, and go out of the gate du Menage. These orders of the King wt re-Tent to tlie commander in chief, who op posed to them the orders received from the municipality, enjoining him to receive, under the Itaudard of tile national guards, people ot all deno initiations, drefled in all kinds of uni forms, and provided wish any kind of arms. The pikemen in their, march had taken the declaration of rights, which ■was carried before them. The co lours of the Baftile, and the men of the 14th of Jelv appeared among them. For a banner they had an old pair of breeches, from the mob per haps being called here, " Sans Cu lottes." By three o'clock they, had defiled through the hall of the Afl'embly, in the rear of the palace, through the garden, the guard having refui'ed to oppose them, and rotind by theOuay to the place de Carofel, in front of the Chateau. Here they were joined by eight pieces of cannon, and two caid'ons ofammuriition. After half an hourfpent in parleying, the entrance being refufed them, they proceeded to force. The commandant of the guard required authority from the Mayor and municipality to repel them, but was refufed. The matches were lighted, and every thing seemed to prelude a formal battle, when the of; ficer returned to annonncehis having received no orders. The gates were instantly forced, no refinance being made, and the people in thousands precipitated into the palace : the doors at the entrance of the king and queen's apartments beingclofed,with out waiting to have them ppened, they shattered them to pieces. The queen retired to a second a partnient with the dauphin in her arms, and threw herfelf upon the protection of a reserve of grenadiers of the national guard. Here a third door was broke open. The crowd became so great, that with difficulty the queen found a corner of the win dow to escape from the great press. Here, exposed to all the gross and vile language that imagination can conceive, (he was obliged to remain for several hours during which they presented her and the dauphin with a national cockade, which she imme diately wore. During this scene, another of a dif ferent nature went forward in the king's apartment : one of the chiefs of this mob preCented the King a red bonnet, adorned with national cock ades, and demanded the retraction of the Veto which the King has placed on the decree against the priests, and for the establishment of a camp. His answer was noble and manly ; " If the welfare of the nation consists in wearing a red cap, I have no objec tion to wearing it. Pure in my con science, I have no dread—as ro the decrees, this is no time to speak of them !"—Some one having remarked that he was afraid, he seized the hand of a grenadier near him, and clap ping it upon his heart, he Paid, " Tell rne, my friend, does my heart beat like a man in fear ?" He immediately seated himfelf between the windows of his apartment, that looked towards the Thuilleries, and put on a red cap. One of the mob offered him a glass to drink the health of the nation ; he accepted it, and drank it without seeming to have the finalleft appre henGon. The crowd began to press upon liim. A national guard was nearlv forced out of his place, near his ma jelly. " The King," cries this brave fellow, '( is our fafeguard, I would not desert him, for a hundred thou sand crowns !" A municipal officer attempted to speak, but could not be heard. Several members made the fame attempt without success. M. Santerre then tried what he could do ; a roar ensued, of " Long live Petion ! Long live the good, the worthy Petion !" The gootf, the wor thy Petion then addressed the King. " The people (fays he) have appear ed with dignity, and with dignity they will depart. \'our majesty mav niake yourfelf easy." Santerre or dered the deputation to come for ■ward. The fpokefnian according!* de manded chat t'lie patriotic iiiiiiifters be re inflated—that the Veto be re rraifted relative to the two obnoxious decrees The King anfweved : " i have fwoni to maintain the conHiturion, and J will defend it at the risk of my life." Clamours were renewed of" Long live the nation ! Long live Sans Cu loi:ts ! Long live liberty ! No Veto ! The eyes of the leaders of the mob, and of many of the mob themselves, glistened with rage. " Long live Santei re* !" A grenadier attempted to quiet them, the Prince told Jlim, " Let them aloue, my friend ; let their words be ever so injurious, it is all the fame to me." By this time several deputies, alarm ed at the (late of the Royal .Family, had aflembled, and a deputation of 24 members was named to surround the person of the King, and to be re placed every half hour by a frelh de putation, so as to inform the afiembly of the Hate of his majesty. M. Pe tion arrived about the lame time with the deputation. The people Itill con tinue their clamours, for the restora tion of the late ininiftry, and the sanc tion of the decrees ; but in vain ; the King retained the fame manly firm nefs and conversed with the deputa tion without the smallest appearance of inquietude. By persuasions and intrearies, the mayor and four of the deputies prevailed upon the people to withdraw. They had palled all over the palace, the roofs were covered with the multitude, they hungin duf fers to the windows ; and except the breaking of some doors and windows, no other mifchief was done, no acci dent even ensued. Towards night fall tlie Palace was entirely cleared, the deputies, had previously profited of an interval in the affluence of tlie crowd, and con /fueled the King to his bed chamber. Towards ten o'clock all was qniet ; the citizens all retired peaceably to their respective homes and the night was pafl'ed in the utmofi tranquility. * M. Santerre is a brewer.

" fr renchmen cannot hear without concern, thata multitude, cxcited by fomefactious persons, came with arms in their hands into the King's palace, drawing a piece of cannon even into the guard-room ; that they broke open the doors of his apartment with axes, and there audaciously abusing, by afluming the name of the nation, attempted to obtain by force the sanc tion which his Majelty had conftiiu tionally refufed tp two decrees. " T he King opposed to the mena ces and insults of these factious per sons only his conscience and his love for the public weal. " The King does not know at what point they would flop; but he thinks it right to inform the French nation, that violence, to whaterer excess it may be carried, shall never tear from him his consent to whatever he fliall think contrary to the public interest. He exposes, without regret, his own peace, and his personal fafety ; he gives up even without pain, the en joyment of the rights which belong to all men, atid which the law ought to refpetfi in him as well as in all ci tizens ; but, as the hereditary repre sentative of the French nation, he has severe duties to fulfil, a „d thousli he will make the facrifice of his own re pose, he will not facrifice his duties ! If those who wi(h to overthrow the monarchy have need of one crime more, they may commit it.

Yesterday morning Lord Lauder dale, attended by the right, hon. C J. Fox as his second, and Cenerai Arnold with Lord Hauke, as his si lend, had a meeting in a field near Kilburn-Well, to terminate a miOin derltand.ng which it was found i m . poliible to conciliate. J he principals, with their seconds and lurgeons.arriv'd upon theg-ound about 7 o'clock, occupying a p o st. coach and two poft-cbaifes. Having taken their stations, Lord Lauder dale refuted to toss up for the firft site, or to fire at the fame time with Gen. Arnold. As the General iho't himfelf injured, his Lordlhip infilled upon receiving the firft fire. Gen. Arnold fired, happily with out efFetfl, on which Lord Lauder dale declared, that he could now with honor acknowledge, that he might have been mistaken in his flriftures concerning Gen. Arnold ; and that i herefore he should not fire on a gei,- rleinan whom he was inclined tocou fider as the offended man. This liandfome apology immedi ately fettled the unhappy difference, which has arisen originally from the following part of Lord Lauderdale's speech in the House of Lords. " If apoftacy is a recommendation to command, the Duke of Richmond, of all officers, is the best entitled to that of the camp of Bagfhot, prodd ed the name of Gen. Arnold beftruck off the lilt."

General Meadows,alas ! isnomore —deprefled by the mistake which he fell into in the atftion, he took the desperate resolution of committing suicide—he died it is said by a pistol ball.
