We are happy, howe ver, in announcing to the public, the dismission of the grand-jury, without a single presentment.

THE REPUBLICAN. No. I THE enemies of our government insinuate that the bank and the fyfLm of public c red it tend to raise up great men to the prejudice of that equal liberty which we now ertjoy. A certain Gazette feeins to have been set up and kept in pay, in or der to inculcate that opinion, and lev bring tlvfr into abhorrence who arc pretended to have con trived and supported those inOjKirion&for the pur pole. Thcfc insinuations spare very few, from the head of the government and its officers, to the members ot Congress, and even to the holding the property depending on these hated According to this primary intention, we entertained with such auxiliary scandal as the wit and inouft'y ot the inventors can supply. We are told twice a week, that public men make mo 'lcy by (peculation, the conrt is fafcinated with its own glare and splendor, the corrupt minions of power engross the government, the virtuous old lepublicaris lament ihe decay ot the fpjrit ot 1 775"~ isa part/ silently paving the way for a monarchy. Let any man read the Gazettes with attention, and he will fay that if the government and those who adminiller it be not the word on earth, they arc (certainly the very worfl treated. It is not easy to suppose that their foul suggestions can, with any truth, be applied to a government new and frefh from the hands of a sober and vir tuous people—and this conviclion would go far towards refuting the malicious pretence, that the bank and funding acts v/ere made with an inten tion, and that they really have a tendency, by fifing up great men, to impair the equal rights ot the citizens. In every thriving nation the wealth of individu als will augment. The savings of indullxy will m a fund which will bt* inceflantly on the in crcjfe. "The employment of this accumulating capital will afford a profit, and this very profit wll furnifh a new cayfe of Iwelling the wealth of thccountry. No man will fay that to prevent £'eat men, we will fuffer no rich men among us. - 1 Un less you stop the course of inr*iftry, so as to pi event its ulual earnings, and contrive by law to hinder men from laying up what they chufe to dv c in their expences, this capital wilT f<vcll in j'nie into a great mass. But any attempt to regu late th: gaining or spending piivatc property, ill accord with our notions of a free govcfn mentj'and wc are well allured such regulations could never be carried into effect. The bank and tunding fyilem cannot therefore be deemed me foarce ot the political evil which is supposed to lurk in the increase of the wealth of individuals, ! fiuce the human character will not ceale to pro-j ducc it, to long as fcparate property is permuted. We shall not readily fubm.it to ihc rigid laws of for the fake of bamming gold and til-! ver. Nor is it iteceiiary that a remedy •to repug nant to nature, and Inflow and difficult* of opera, noo, ihVild be applied to cure the ill elfetts .of wealth. The means ot education are to Uiftufed, that the many are incited and qualified to gain ichei as well as the tew—The power ai ifiug trom property will be every where ballanced oy the multitude oi the Our laws too, have provided an eiiettual means ot preventing over sown fortunes from remaining long undivided.

Another rcfle&ion renders this confutation com plete. It is a lound remark, that thole who hold the land of any country, will bold the power, livery day new diyifions of the old farms are mak !iior-—new teulenvcnis are forming : the farmers find a better market for their produce than torm !c«W : their (kill in hufbandiy, their wraith and influence as well as information, are rapidly in- Tiiis is 10 -trn-, that where the mouieo interell has gained at) ounce weight, the landed mtprcil, lift vail and tin iving is our country, has gained-a.pound. tvei' if it were true, that the property in the bank, and the funds were created out ot nothing, the pretended influence to deitroy the equality oj our -4 to pear $ to be mfuHicient tor trie pnr pofe.

Thii however, has not inamteiked Ktelf in any dangerous icaft, our munnurcrs hjive not lntovmed us. But neither the bank nor fund:/; laws, have created a dollar o' new property. It is true, the new facility to trade and Circulation, produc ed by thofelaws, has operated to the advantage of the nation, as certainly as (and more permanently than) an addition of silver and gold. Neither of t Pro I e systems was firft begun in our country by congress. The states had their banks, and had at tempted to retrieve public credit before the con- Uitution Was adopted. Tlie enemies of government could not fee the 'ame mifchiets ftatc banks and (ia*e credit. No fooncr, however, d>d congress touch thoic fubjefh, no fooiier did iuccefs follow the milage of those laws, thau»the foothfayeis augured. iuiti from thefc a&s, unheard of, they said, among re publicans, and framed for the purpofc ot creating loids 10 oyp(f('s the landholder*. It i/nor ina i rial to difeufs the ijuellion, wheth er this (illy ftdry can be credited by those who > (ell it. To thole who think so illy ol human na ture, as to believe that mifchiel is always intend ed whenever it can be done, it will be enough shew, that the means in question were not well adapted to the pretended design, and therefore, could not have been qhofen by men so wife and so wicked, as the gazette supposes the public men qf this country to be. The leader will judge how | far this has been (hewn. In another paper, the toiler, if He (hould have lcilure, will endeavor to (hew from the nature of those laws, as well as from general the utter falfity of the charges which have been urged againll them and their framers. > Philadelphia, 061.6. Succinfl account of affairs in Paris, an the qth, 1 Oth, - -r .» ni.n i iM, &c. of Augujl lajl. On the 9th, M. Condorcet in the name of the extraordinary commiftion, stated to the Nation al Allembly the various confiJerations connected with the grand qijeftiojrof the Ring's forfeiture. This pri;l*ipally of enquiries which appeared to be decided by the committee t'lem felves, who fay that at any rate the tfecifion ol the AiTembly, -whatever fide of the queflion they adopt, will inflame the paflions of the mul titude, and the public tranquility will of course be endangered. M. Petion appeared at the bar—he (aid that j a rumour having been spread that a plot was; formed to carry off the King—the people had af-j fembled at the Thuilleries to prevent it —detach- ments of the National Guards had been ported at the palace—and he believed the perlon of the King was therefore in fafety. M. Petion re commended to the AiTembly to pursue lenient and persuasive measures with the enraged po pulace as the most likely to prevent excefles. The AiTembly, considering the present dan gerous situation of the capital, decreed, that, till order be restored there fliall be a permanent, fitting. At midnight the alarm bell founded in every quarter of the city—the general was beat, ( and the citizens hurried to arms ; soon the afTembly were informed that M. Petion was detained in the palace as an hostage for«the King's fafety. The aflembly ordered thatMie fiiould appear at the bar—he soon appeared, and reported the, measures he had adopted for the .public fafety— he was applauded —and desired to return to his duty ; soon after the hall of the aflembly was surrounded bv an immense croud of people, some of whom called o%t tlyit the court had become the focus of the counter-revolution—and that every law ought to be suspended, and give place to that supreme law; the safety of the public. August 10 —Friday morning—as day light approached, the minister of justice entered the 147 hall imploring for the King the prtfte&ion of the Assembly—while the assembly were deliberating upon the molt proper ipeafunes to be in this awful and alarmiug crisis; they were informed that the whole of the municipality, excepting M: Petion, M. Manuel and M. Dan. ton, were fuperceded in their offices by eftar blifhin£4 new temporary admiuiftration by the people, yhich they denominated a general coun ! cil of the community.—That M. Santerre was ' placed at the head of the public force, who was fjrbid 11 obey the ftaff officers, or any authori ty, but them. The Assembly were again inter rupted in their deliberations by news of attro cities committing in different quarters of the city. Some courtiers had been arretted—fome of the King's guards, and an Abbe ; an alarm was spread—the battalion of Marleilles, and oi' federates from the different departments be jca:i to fill the avenues to the palace and the af lembiy—'demanding vengeance on the traitors tiiey } had seized —-The unfortunate vi&ims un derwent a mock trial, were convicted, and ex ecution immediately followed ; they were put to death in different forms, and their heads car ried about on poles. M. Sullan, the Editor of a ministerial paper, and the Poix for merly commander of jftie body Of guards were among the number. About iline o'clock almost every person who could procure arms hurried to the Thuilleries—calling out for the detlv'oue mertt of the King.—The King attended by the >wifs.rsghr&nt of lards, with the Queen, his sister and children proceeded to the National Aflembly—he placed himfelf beside the Preiident — >ut that the Assembly might con&itutionallv deliberate, he was desired to remove into one of the boxes appropriated to the Editors of newspapers. The assembly then font 10 com miilioners to endeavor to appease the people ; in the mean t#ie the detachments of the na tional guards —citizens anjied with pikes—the Marieillefe and federates attacked the palace, wfticn was guarded by a boiy of Swils ; these haid t>reffed by those who came again ft them were "at length compelled to fire in their own defence, and at firff put the mob to flight—but being reinforced they rallied again and com menced a heavy fire on their opponents —the gate*; at'laft being opened or forced, an obstinate combat ensued—the Swiss defending themfelyes with great bravery, and the attack oa them being continued with fury—the Swiss were at length obligfed to yield to iuperior force, and atmoft to a man were butchered —they however fold their lives dear, killing several hundreds ot their opponents. Among the victims facrificed on this occasion besides the Swiss guasds and their Colonel, M. d'Affrey, were, the Abbe Bouillon, MefTrs. Carle, Mandat and many others. Attei the mob had got poileilion of the im mense crowd burst into the several apartments; some of whom carried to the Aflembly the OueenY jewells, valuable effe&s, money, and important papers. The furniture, after being inventoried, was taken to the fedVions, and the papers to the committees of fafetj.—During this tumult, while the noise of cannon was heard in the alterably, and several iliots <?v;en entered the windows, the members ftill'contin ued their deliberations —the Jacobin party ex .claiming liberty 1 equality J and all railing tiieir hands to heaven and swearing they would die to save their country. Many members being absent, a call of the house was ordered ; this being decrecd each member took the following oath : " 1 swear in the name of the nation, to maintain liberty and equality, or die at my post." They then pafled a decree, providing for calling a National Convention, suspending the executive power, the civil lift ; the fix minillers in office to exer cise the executive power—the King and royal family to remain under the protection oi the legislative body, till the department lliaH pro vide apartments for them at Luxembourg— mean time to be under thefafeguard of the law, and their defence entrusted to the national guard of Paris; all magistrates, officers and soldiers who shall quit their posts to be declared infamous and traitors to their country. , Saturda-v, August '>• On motion of M.

This morning a letter was read in from the commissioners sent to the army of the centre, the letter informed that they were received every where on the road with blessings and the nioft ardent testimonials of patriotism. . At Soiflons they had calmed the miqds of the people, which had been thrown in to a ferment by inaccurate accounts ot events in tlie capital. The city of Rheims was illumina ted on account of the King's being depofecf A letter written in German, found in the pocket of one of the Swift guards, was read in the As sembly, and sent to the Court Martial. In this letter the SWiss announced, that in 15 days the Auftnans would be in Paris; that his regimei>t would join tliem, to exterminate all who might ( prove unfaithful to the King. He added that their pay had befcn augmented, and that tljiugh provisions were dear, they wanted for nothing. Among the various reasons ailigned for the violent rrteafures of the people oi Paris against ; the King, one is, that he willingly declined ftnd iog supplies tpr the frontiers- . , In contempiating„the.ri!*e, progreH) and rtlult of measures pursued by the predominating par ty in Paris, there appears to be a regular chain of events leading to the fatal scene exhibited at the palace of the Thjjiileries. The commu nity, of Paris had lately suspended tbe Mayor and M. Manfal; in order to effect a concert of operations, the police oft he city was fiibverted by the feftions, and a new system ihtroduced, ia which only three members of the preceding body were retained. The national guards on the 23th June, bad given strong fympto/ns of their attachment to the King—A new comm&> der was therefore appointed in M. Sai.terre. Detachments were made from the guards ; theic, united with the Marieillele and Federate., tormed a powerful force, which cmld be de pended on ; the command of wliich devolved on IVi. Suntetre, who was not to obey the exit ing lupe 4 ior oJiiters.
