Philadelphia, Sept. 19.
the latest INTELLIGENCE from FRANCE.
Friday last th? (hip Ohio, Capt. Kemp,arrived
at New-York iti Jo days from Bristol. By this
veiTel London papers are received to the I fth
August. We have room only for an abflrafl:
of the intereliing information they contain.
Augvjl I. The President of the National
Alfembly informed that body that he had re
ceived by poll the declaration ilTued in the name
of the Duke of Brunfwick.—The Aflembly de
creed by acclamation, " That if the laws of
war are not ftrietly observed, in regard to all
Frenchmen taken with arms in their hands, all
the officers belonging to the enemy, who may
be made prisoners, shall experience a fnnilar
treatment, whatever may be their rank, titles
or diftinftions."
A letter was fentby the King to the Aflembly,
relative to the Manifefto—in which he fays that
it exhibits nothing that can be considered as a
proof of its authenticity. He calls on the na
tion to be united—and profeffes in the warmest
terms his determination to support the C.onfti
tution, Independence and Liberty of France. —
This letter being read in the AfTembly, a mo
tion was made that it should be printed and sent
to the 83 departments. On this motion, the
previous question was called.— u M. Iznaid,
having with difficulty obtained a hearing, said
that the Kind's letter contained only a heap of
falfhoods." The proposal of printing the letter
was rejected.
Augvjl 4. The Envoys of the Commonalty
of Paris, with M. Petion at their head, appeared
at the bar, and M. Petion demanded in the name
of the 48 fe&ions, that the King should be ex
eluded from the Throne, and that the manage
ment of affairs during the interregnum, should
be entrusted to responsible Ministers, until the
of a new King in a National Conven
tion—-M. Petion said the King has always shewn
himfelf an enimy to the people, an enemy to the laws,
and an enemi to France. This excited a violent
agitation in the Aflembly. Several members
dei]red to be heard, but the tumult rendered it
impossible, and the President put an end to the
fitting without any vote being come to upon it.
The Aflembly have passed a decree, in which
fueh temptations are thrown out to induce the
Auftrians and PrufTians to desert their colours,
as it is thought will desolate their armies as soon
as they pitch their tents in France.-—The Duke
of Brunfwick was expected to march on or be
fore the firft of August.—A letter from Paris,
dated 4th Aug. in an English paper, has |his
palTage— u I will not fay that in this fever of
republicanism, the King may riot be declared to
have forfeited his crown ; but I am sure that
republicanism will not endure for a week. 1
hope, however, that they will avoid the dread
ful evil of suspending the King, as I am sure
the fame effect would disband their army."—
Such was the state of things on the 4th August.
About the 28th July the Auftrians made ar.
attack on the French army at Maulde—the
French advance Guard consisting of 6000 men
was attacked by 10,000 ; the Auftrians yielded
the field—they loft 200 men, and great part of
their baggage— and had it not been for the
treachery of two Colonels who deserted, the
vi&ory of the French would have been complete.
M. La Fayette was well, at the head of his ar
my the 28th July.
M. Luckner in a letter to the National AfTem
bly, has expressly denied that he ever acculed
M. La Fayette of an intention to march against
Paris. M. La Fayette in another letter fays,
that such an accusation u is not true"
M. Montefquiou, commander of pne of the
French armies on the Frontiers, has resigned.—
M. Luckner, while at Paris, gave a most de
grading account of the grand armies of France
in refpeft to their numbers and equipments. —
The King of Denmark being invited by the
Kings of Hungary and Pruflia to join the confe
deracy again# France, has declined to accept
of the invitation. Among other observation
in his answer, he r ays, u Denmark has acknow
ledged, as well as the dcccafed Emperor of the
King of Pruflia, the confHtution of France,
since Louis XVlth. has solemnly avowed it."—
The celebrated Paul Jones, it is laid, died in
the utmost poverty—it has been conje&urec
that this was owing to his favoring the anti
revolution party in Paris.
The New-Brunfwick Gazette fays, notwith
standing the many discouraging accounts so fre
quently publllhed from the "VVeftward, the re
cusing business goes on very well. It is con
jectured by some that peace will overtake us
sooner than many imagine.
In the fli'p Amelia, Hill, from London, ar
rived John Penn, E r q. and his Lady; Andrew
Allen, Esq. with his four daughters and three
sons; together with the domestics of both fami
lies making 24 paflengers.
TI eDafliwood Packet from England brought
a Diploma from the University of Edinburgh,
conferring the Degree of Doctor of Laws on the
Hon. John Jay, Chief Justice of tlie United
States.
/ ctrreffmdthl observes, that lie" conceives it
/would be highly becoming in the people of the
I United State*:, to join as with one voice, in t
a:iy of thanksgiving tot/re Supreme , for the mer
cies he has so abundantly bellowed on them,
of peace and general frefperity ; and to implore,
that he may avert the evils which are meditated
iytht Despots of Europe, against their fellow men,
of the French and Pohjli nations, and that these
pefpots and all mankind, may be convinced in
Uae time, of their folly and wickedness.
