Every day fre(h prisoners are bro'c to Luxemburg. On the evening previous to the raising the camp at Montfort, 38 French prisoners were ■conducted to it, that the Prufiians might fee them. Among these were fix peasants. The Duke of Brunf wick sent for them, gave them a fe- Trere reprimand, and lent theiu back to their own country The Pruflian army having, on the Bth in raised the camp it Monrfort, marched four leagues awards tilt French territories, and rfFe&ed a jon&ioil with the army ot general Clairfayt. These combined forces encamped the fame evening on the French territories, at two leagues distance from Thionville ; their right extending as far as Long •wi. The king of Prufiia slept in the Chateau de Bettenburg, only . one league distant from the French fron tiers. On the 19th, 18 waggon loads of bricks were carried from Luxemburg to Greven maker, to build ovens with, 'and to make a Boulangerie de Cam pagne, Letters received from Luxemburg, lated the 20th instant, inform tisrhat he fortrefs of Longwi is taken by tlie ombined armies, and that on the 2tit i battalion was to march from Lux stnburg togairifon that fortrefs.

They were all made p>ifoners of war ; they were in number 1800, and were conducted to Luxemburg. The Prussian Bou langeries were immediately removed to Senger. The troops are in full march to meet M.

Baignoux, member of the com miflion of general fafety. read to the aflembly a report made by the com miflioners of the community, respect ing ihe-ev«Qta as the preceding night, of which the followingis an abltratft: The cominiflion affesnbled duringthe suspension of the night fitting, being informed by several citizens, that the people were continuing to rush in great tin tubers towards the different prisons, and were there exercising their vengeance, they thought it ne cessary to write to the council gene'- ral of the community, in order that they might learn officially the true ftaie of things. Hie community feni back word, that ihhey had ordered a deputation to go, and give an ac count to the cominiflion of what had happened. At two o'clock the depu tation confifling of Meflis. Tallion Tronchon, and Cuiraut, were intro duced into the hall of the aflbmbly *1. Trouclu.ll then said [hat the great er part of ihe prisons were empty • that about hundred prisoners had been maflacred ; that he had thought it prudent to release all pri loners confined for debt at the prison of La *01 ce, and that he had done the lame thing at St. Pelagie. That vhen he returned to the community be recollected that he had forgot to visit that part at La Force whe. e the -women were confined , ,hat he i m . mediately returned, and set at liber ty twenty.four. That h e and his colleagues had taken under, heir par tic'ujar protection,, Madame T ourzelle and Madame Saint Brice, obl'erving , Hat the latrer wad pregnant, and that ihey condu&cd these' tvfro ladies to ilie lection (des Droits de I'iiomine) of ilie Rights of j)4«wi",'to be kept there Vli) ihey are tried. i in- 'i;i{.lt proceeded nexr to tlie Chatelet, where they likewile facri riced all the prisoners. About mid night they were collected round La Force, to which the coin miliionei s in ilantly repaired, but were not able 1) prevail on the people todeliit from their fuuguinary proceedfrigs. Seve ral liepuiations were fucceilively sent toirs iftheycotild reltoie ti i.'rtjui !ity ; and orders were given to the commandant general 10 draw out de tachments of ihe National Guards ; but as the service of the barriers re quired t'uch a great number of men, \ fufficiency was not lefi to repref's |the audacity of the populace. The Commiflioners once more attempted to bring back the ungovernable and [infatuated multitude to a I'enfeofjul jtice and humanity ; but they could not make the lealt impreflidn oh their minds, or check their ferocity and vengeance. ! M. Guiraud, a third commiflioner, (aid, " We proceeded to the Bicetre with seven pieces of cannon. The people, though they exercised theii vengeance, rendered jullice, howe ver, to debtors ; many of them were released amidst the clashing of arrjis and fhnuts of viz* /a nation. The prj f.ins of the Palais, he added, were all empty, and that very few of those confined in thein had escaped death." ' M. Gniraud mentioned, that the people were searching thi bodies on the Pont Neuf, anil colleifling their money and pocket books, to have thein deposited in feme place of fafe ty —A man found dealing a handker chief was instantly put to death. He added, that he forgot to mention one fact,-which, he laid, did honor to the people :—" In the different prisons thej-formed a tribunal, confiding of i2'perfons, after examining i lie gaol er's book, and asking different ques tions, the judges placed their hands upon the head of the prisoner, an ! said, " do you think that ? i our con-j faiences we can release tliis gentle man ?" This word release was demßation. When they giifw-red yes, the accused person was f'et at li berty in appearance, and immediate ly dashed upon the pikes of the for- If they were judg ed innocent, they were released ti mid It the shouts of—Vive la Nation." The Afiembly ordered this report to be printed. The ininifler for the home-depart ment coiuuiunicated to the Aflembly a letter from Sedan, which announc ed that the enemy had entered Ste nay, and that they were preparing to attack Montmedi. The admini strators of Sedan added, that the e nemy were seizing the grain in the fields, and transporting it behind thetn to Luxemburg. BLLF AS I , Sjeptember 12. The very interefling news from France, that came by this day's mail, has induced us to defer several im portant articles, in order to make room for its insertion. At the fame time, that every man of sensibility mult shudder at the tranfaiftions of the 2 d inltant at Paris, let it be con •tdered, that the fir ft accounts of all tumults are apt to be exaggerated • that of the 10th of Augult, for in stance, was not merely exaggerated, but totally mifreprelented, for the hilt two or three days. No doubt this as well as every other popular ebu.lition, will be charged to the ac count of the Jacobins, although it is notorious, that,he leading members both the Aflembly, and ofthe Mu nicipality of Pans, are also the lead-! ing members of that Society, ana' ait] of them exerted their urmoft ,„ffu i mob' In Va '"' 10 ft ° P th£ fu '- V of ( ' he FRANCE (Latest infUtgence from Paris.)

M. Dalbon, commandant of St. Manehold, wrote, complaining that 10,000 men had been Cent to him without arms—" We do not want courage, said he, but arms," —Refer- red to the executive power. M. Chabot said, that as reports had been spread that the National Aflem bly Meant to re-e(tabli(h Louis XVI. on the throne of France, or to place on it the Duke of York or the Duke of Brunfwick, and that as these re ports were propagated- with a view to make the National Aflembly unpo pular, it was neceflary to contraditf them in a public manner, "Let us swear," said he, " that we abhor the doctrine ascribed to us, and'let us de clare, that we have fuffered so much already from the vices of Kings, and from Royalty, that we hold thein in detestation." The whole Aflembly then rofe,and took the oath proposed by M.Chabot. M. Dnbayt—" Let us swear that no foreigner fliall ever give laws to F ranee." M. Lariviere—" Let us swear that no King, no Monarch fliall ever be a (tain upon our liberty." The Afleinbiy again rose, and with heir hands raised up, took both the proposed oaths. M. .Chabot communicated to the Aflembly a letter which he had re ceived from his colleague M. Merlin, one of the Conimiflioners employed for enrolling citizens. " My friend," said M. Merlin, " armed men spring up from the earth.—Our country is saved—l embrace you.'* The Cotnmiffiotiers sent to the ar my of the South, wrote that every thing there was in the belt poflible state. Eve nI ng Tile adminittrarors of the diftri<!t of Barle-Duc wrote ro the aflembly, confirming the news capture of Verdun. The ene my, they said, were advancing to r.ids Montniedi. They added, that a detachment of PruiTian Huflars hav ing entered St. Michael, carried a vay the public treasure, and had made fruitlef's attempts to di (cover M. Sance, who arretted the King at Varennes on the 16th of June, 1791. M. Lacroix moved, that the Extra ordinary Commiliion fliould conceit measures with the Executive Provifi onary Council, for making known to the Legislative body the itate of Ihe magazines and arfegals, and for giv ing such details refpetfting the plan of the campaign, as might be reveal ed without detriment to the public. — Decreed. A courier from general Dutnourier, who had brought difpatchcs to the minister of war, appeared at the bar, and informed the Aflembly, that the general had ported himlelf in some defiies, where he would have great advantage over the enemy. He re lated, that a woman had deltroyed 4®o Hulans, by giving them wine, in which flie had infilled poison. LONDON, September 8 The withdrawing of our Ambada dor from Paris in the present mo ment was a matter of mere etiquette ; but to order hftli to deliver such« note on his departure, is viewed by everv liberal politician sn this country, not merely as an insidious act, unworthy of a manly people, but as an unwite measure, calculated to involve us dan gerously with France—dangerously we mean as to our permanent in terefls. Jt is mentioned at Valenciennes, as a. blocking p'<iof of La F.ayecre's Trea chery, that his army on his depar tuie was found to have only three days provisions. In the adversity of private men , who have filled eminent Situations in the revolutions of dates, accusations are quickly multiplied.

" The day before yesterday attain of 9 jo Pruflian artillery and ammn nition waggons, laden'with military stores, and drawn by fix horses each, pafled near this place, and ranged rhemfelves under the guns of our forrrefii; they occupy a space of ground further than the eyecanfee; others arrive almost hourly, whilst the main body of the army destined against France marches alang the frontiers. " The Duke of Erunf.vick, com mander in Chief of the combined forces, arrived here yesterday, and after an interview with the Austrian and Prufiian Generals, returned to the army. " The King of Prussia, with his two fotis, arrived here at eight o'clock this morning, and were received on the parade by the officers ; and, af rer Examining the works, returned to the camp at Montfort."

" Out of two thousand Englirtunen in Paris, the day we left it, none ar rived (ince at Calais but those who quitted Paris the day we did, and the day after, though we were detained there three days by an adverfewind. It is probable, that a new decree of the national afleinbly, keeps all per rons in Paris, Grangers as well as o thevs. The people of Paris are all mad, flark mad. The whole extent: of country from Amiens to Calais, is one entire corn-field ; but the corn is dropping from the ears for want of hands to reap it, and many thoufalid acres of wheat mult be loft.
