It is mentioned in an article from
Warsaw, that the Poiifh troops have
refuted to fub«nit to the Rullians; and
that on bearing this intelligence, the
King went to the house of M. Bulka

Ruffians might contrive to avoid thent;
when M. de tiulkahow is laid 10 has e
answered in the following terms ;—
44 The soldiers of my Sovereign are
not to be diverted from their deter
mined course, and death will be the
ronfequence to every one who (hall
dare to oppole them."

is universally understood to have
his sanction.
" Soldier CITIZEN?,
" It is not to be diflembled, that
the Conftiturion, "which you have
(worn to maintain, is no more. The
Marfeillois, and a troop of factious
insurgents, have besieged the palace
of the Thuilleris. The National
Guards and the Swiss Guards nave
made a vigorous resistance, but vcant
ing ammunition, they were obliged
to surrender.

" The King, the Oueen, and the
Royal Family, took refuge in the
National Afleinbly ; the insurgents
followed them, and forced them to
decree the suspension of the King,
which was done tofave his life.
" Ckiz6ns, you have no longer
Representatives; the National As

without commanders.
" Petion reigns; the savage Dan

lOTIL family or francf.
The following particulars tefpetft
ing the Royal Family of France, du
ring the dreadfol scenes which lately
disgraced Paris, have not yet been
communicated to the public.
The King, Queen, and their chil
dren, were thrust into the President's
room, adjoining to the Assembly.—
This room had in it only a few bare
fourms, npon which they lay during
the nights of Fridav and Saturday.
For the firft twelve hours of their
confinement, not a foul went near
th em, nor had they any kind of re
freihment. At length one of the
door-keepers went and pnrcliafed, out
of his own pocket, a few biscuits and
a bottle of wine, which he brought
to them.
The feelings of the unhappy Mo
narch. and his contort, it is almost
impoflible to imagine—in the mo
mentary dread of insult and outrage,
and if spared from the butchering
hands of the savages who were de
inolifbing the Palace, with the horrid
profpetft of feeing their children pe
rilh for wane! Such accumulation of
misery hittorv cannot parallel !
Ihe King and his family are now
in close cultody in the Temple of the
Palace, formerly belonging to the
Duke of Orleans, and their keepers
are the mob.
In addition to the horrid excefTes
already detailed, the mob have broke
into all the prisons at Orleans, and
maflacred the unfortunate prisoners
in cold blood.

A Charleston paper of September 29, fays—
jyiitfijn a few dayspaft, two expreifes nave ar
rived here from general Pickens and col. An
derfon, with dispatches for his excellency the
governor, they contain the alarming accounts,
that a general Creek w*r may be cxpefted
(hortly to take piace; and that the four lower
160,200 93
-Cherokee towns are boftiJely disposed, and will
act in concert with the Creeks. A body of the
Cherokees, Creeks and Shawanefc, in ail about
s>o inen, are now out, and it is supposed will
tall upon the settlements at Cumberland or
Holftein. Col. Anderfon has erected four block
nouses on the frontiers ; and, we are informed
that the governor has sent forward a large sup
ply of arms and ammunition, with orders to
the Commanding oficer in ninety-fix diftricl to
have the militia put in a date of preparation for
afrive duty, and to raise and equip a troop of
horse for each of the regiments.
On Saturday the President of tbeUnited State?,
his Lady and Family, arrived in town from
Mount Vernon, Virginia.
We are authorized to allure the public, that
the following is the purport of* the information
received from Governor Blount.
Qn the nth of September last, he states that
the fcherokees of the five lower Torres on tl>e
Tene'ee, headed by John Watts, had declared
War against the United States, and that the
warriors, according to various information,
amounting from three to fix hundred, including
about one hundred Banditti Creeks, had set out
upon some expedition against the frontiers,pro
bably against the Cumberland settlement.
That iu consequence of this alarming intelli
gence, he b:*d ordered one regiment of the mi
fitia of Wa&ington district into actual service,
and that he bad alio- dispatched an express to
Mejo diftrict,on Cnmberlar.d river, with orders
to brigadier-general Robertfon, to put his bri
gade into the best pofiible fta?e of defence.
| That the Cherokcea had never complained to
him of a (ingle infraction of the treaty cf Hol
| item, nor did he know of one committed by any
citizen of the United States.
But on the 15th of September, he writes that
he had received letters from Efquaka, other
iwiie the Bioodv Fellow and the Glass, dated on
the ioth of Sept. at the Look-out mountain
town, informing that they, with the afliilance
of Jpbn Watts and other head men, had prevail
ed the party that were collected for war,
tadifperfe and go peaceably to their hunting. |
That upon receiving this agreeable information,
he had been induced to difclrarge the regiment
of and to dil'patch an express to General
Robertfon, of Mero district, with orders to dis
charge foch of bis brigade as might be in ser
vice under the orders of the i ith instant.
We have the pleasure of informing the pub
lic, that the Light-house on Cape-Henry is near
ly finifhed, and that a light will, in a Ihort
time, be placed in it.
