A WEEKLY PAPER: DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, AGRICULTURE, MORALITY, AND FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. Volume I factions had risen midi a height, that every meeting might be-only a prelude of exile' or • the axe ; and the . deliberation of this especial night must settle the question Whether the monarch or the Jacobin club was to ascend the scaffold. It was the de bate on the execution of the unhappy Lou is ;XVI. MED The arrival of the crowd, among whom I taken an unwilling seat, evidently gave new spirit to the regicides ; the mo ment was critical. Even in Jacobinistn all were not equally black,' and the fear of the national' revulsion . at so 'desperate a -deed startled many, who might not have been withheld by feelings of humanity.— The leaders had held a secret consultation While the debate was drawing on its slow length, and Danton's old expedient of“ter rors ' Was resolved . on. His • emissaries had beent sent round Paris to'summon all his banditti . ; and .the lon cafes, and every haunt of violence and every drunkenness of crime had poured forth. The remnant of the Marseilles—a gang of actual galley slaves wife had led the Massacre—the paidnwassin§ ofthe Marais, and the sub rears ofthe Royal Guard, whoofler trea son to , flie king, litid. found profitable trade in living on the robbery find blood of the nobles and.priests, formed this reinforce relent, pad their 'entrance into the gallery was reCognized by the clapping of hands from below, which they answered by a roar, accompanied with a significant sign of clashing their knives and sabres. 'Hanlon immediately rushed into the Tri bune. I had seen him before, on thofear ful night which prepared the attack on the palace; but he'was then in 'the haste and effective savageness of the . rabble. Ile the-part played the , pa of the leadet'-of a po litical Seat; andlhe eornmencementnf his address adopted something of the decorum ofpntblic council. •' itV this there was an artifice; for rest less es the club was,, it still retained a jeal nusy•of the superior' legislative raikof the' assetrihly of. national • representatites; the Convention. The forms 'Or the Conven tion were strictly imitated; and even those ' Jacobins; 'who usually led the debate, scru pulously wore the dress of the best orders. 'Robespierre wastlaberafely dressed when ever he appeared in the tribune, and Dan `ton abandoned 'the canailla!Costailie ofthe time. I was 'Struck with his showy' stiture, his bold forehead and "his commanding at tittide,.a6 he stood' waving his hand over the. multitude below, as if lie waved ti. scep ter. His'appearance was received with a, general shout from the gallery; which he returned with a prefopral bow, and then stood erect till all sounds had sunk. Ilis powerful voice then rang througluthe ex tent of the hall. Ile began with congmtu kiting the people on their haying' relieved the republic from its •exteryal• angers.— His language at first was moderate, and his recapitulation of the perils which must, have betidlen a conquered country *us sufficiently true and even touching; fah his tone soon changed , and saw the true Ja 4-obin. "What," he crilY, "are tho;e per ils to the honor of doinestiO•perlidy t What arc the ravages on the frontier to the poi son and dagger of our fireside? What is the' gallant death in the field to assassina ,r don in cold blood? Listen, fellow,citizens; !there is . , at this hour, a' deeper plot laid for I your destruCtion than .ever existed in the ~'shiillo~v steads, Gr ever'could be 'executed bY'the cowardly hearts' of •their soldiery. Where'ks that plot? In the 'st reets? No. The courage. of". Oar' brave. liatriois is as proof against corruption as against war." This was followed by - ti.shout from the gal lery.

What spy of the Giron- dists, what traitor of the Bourbons, what hireling of the gold of Pitt is among us ir exclaimed the bold ruffian, yet with a vis age which oven at a distance I could ob serve had lost its fiery hue, and turned clay color. " I!" replied the voice, and I saw a tall figure stalk up the length of the hall and stand at . the foot of the tribune. " De scend !" was the word which .he spoke ; and Danton, as if under a spell, to my as : , tonishment, obeyed, without a word, and' came down. The stranuertook his place; none knew his ntinie ; and the rapidity & boldness of hiS' assault suspended all in wonder like my own. I can give but a most incomplete conception attic extraor dinary eloquence of this mysteri6uS intru der. Ile openly charged Danton with having constructed the whole sonspiracy against the unfortunate prisoners of Sep tember—with having deceived the people by imaginary alarms of the approach of the enemy—with having plundered the na tional treasury, to pay the assassins ; and the last and most deadly charge of all, with having formed a plan for a National Dictatorship, of which he himself was to, be the first professor. The charge was sufficiently- probable, and was not now heard for the first time. But the keen ness and fiery promptitude with which the speaker poured the charge upon him, gave it a new aspect ; and I could see in the changing physiognomies around me, that the great „Jacobin was already in danger. He obviously felt this himself; fur starting up from the bench to which he had return ed, lie cried out, or rather yelled: "Citizens, this man thirsts for ray blood. Am Ito be sacrificed'? Am Ito be ex posed to the danger of assassination ?" But no answering shout arose ; a dead ei fence reigned ; all eyes We're still turned to. the tribune. I saw Danton, after a gaze of total' helplessness on all sides, !throw up his hands like a drowning man I and staggered to his seat. Nothing could be more'unffirtunato than this interruption; for the speaker poured the renewed invec tivd, like a stream of molten iron, full on his personal charaCter and career. "Born a beggar, your only hope of bread was crime. Adopting the , profes sion of an advocate, your only, conception of law was chicanery. Coming to Paris, you took up patriotism as u trade, and turned the trade into an imposture., Train ed to dependence, you alwals hung on some one till he spurned you I. You lick ed' tholdust before Mirabeau ; you betray ed him and he trampled on you ; you tools' :refuge in the cavern of Murat, until he found you too base for even his base corn panionship; and he, too, spurned you ; you then hung to the skirts of Robespierre, clUng.on to ruin.

Have I not stripped the veil from your thoughts Am I not looking at your heart?" Ho then addressed the Jacobin leaders in a brief appeal. "Billaud Varennes stand forth—do you not long to drive the dag ger into the heart of this new tyrant? Bil let (11 lerbois, are you not sworn to des troy him .Couthon, have you not pro nounced him perjured, perfidious and unfit to live?

The gallery was as much awake as ever, but seemed ,occupied with evident expectation of either a new revolt or a spectacle; pistols were taken out to be new ly primed, and the points and edges of knives duly examined. The doers at length were thrown open and a crowd, one half of whom appeared to be in the last state of intoxication, and the other half not so far from insanity, came dancing and carousing into the bo dy of the building. In the midst of their troops they carried two busts covered with laurels—the busts of the regicides, Ravail lac and Clement, with flags before them, inscribed—" They were glorious, for they slew kings !" The busts were presented to the president, and their bearers, a pair of poissaders, insisted on giving him the embrace, in sign of fraternization. The president, in return, invited them to the "honors of sittings ;" and thus rein forced, the discussion on the death of the unhappy monarch commenced once more, and the vote was carried by acclamation. The National Convention was still to be applied to for the completion of the sen tence, but the decree of the Jacobins was the law of the land.

CAPITAL.—A good story is told of a fellow who had spent hundreds of dollars at the bar of a certain groggcry, being one day feeble and out of change, asked the landlord to trust him for a glass of li quor. "No," was the surly reply ;"I nev er made a practice of doing such things." The poor fellow turned to a gentleman, who was sitting by, and whom he had known in better days, saying, "Sir, will you lend me a sixpence?" "Certainly," was the reply. The landlord with alacrity placed the decanter and glass before him ; he took a pretty good horn and having swallowed it, replaced it with evident satisfaction; he turned to the man who had lent him the sixpence and. said, "Here sir, I owe you, I make it a point, degraded as I ani, al ways to pay borrowed money before I pay my grog bill !" PIOUS FIGHTING.—At the battle of Gainsborough f Cromy;ell told his men in a general order —"Trust in the Lord and keep your powder dry." On the eve of the battle of Nascby, ho issued another or der to his infantry saying, "Call upon the Lord and trust in your pikes." Before the battle of Ltunbitr, he said, "Sock the Lord and look to your flints." Bofors the battlo of Worcester, he said, "The prayers of the godly to scatter the wicked arc heard by the Lord. Then trust in the Lord, take good aim and strike hard."
