PARIS Augufi 43
T OULN the capital of Normandy
J has openly refujed to acknowledge
the ftiperiority of the city of Pari: and
has acquainted the council there with its
ftjohuioDS
This intelligence was only known in
Paris on Monday lafl and this bold be
claration has thrown the city into the til
mojl confirmation
The cauje of this early explanation a
toje from this circumjlance
The city of Rouen having received a
very a fuming and reproachful letter
from the town council of Paris which in
fall overawes even the national afjembly
T type thing the former’s having flopped
Jome boats laden with corn ie lined to
the latter place lias returned the follow
ing afwer :
“ That the provincial towns will never
acknowledge the pretended Jupctiority of
the capital that the city of Paris would
always ft and in need of the city of Rotten
whereas the latter had no occafionfor the
Jervices of the city of Paris that there
fore it Jbould continue to do whatever it
thought mofi agreeable to its own inte
eft" Here is at once an open breach and
from the agents of the Queen s party who
are difperfed all over the kingdom there
is little d iibt but it will join become
more general
The M trquis de la Fayette has with
much difficulty engaged the French
guards and the Joldiers of Provence and
V’ timille to conclude a treaty of peace
which it is hoped will put an end to the
dijDutes which have Jo long fulfilled be
t w en different parties oj the military
The king’s troops dej'ert on all ides
and over run the country They com
pla n of being badly ufetl and that they
ate dyingfor want of food
The city of Paris fearing that thefe
people fbould cauje di lurbanres and rob
beries in the capital has pubiifhed an
order prohibiting them from e tering
the city but that if they would return
to their laniard they Jbould be allowed
three Jbtis for every league they had to
travel
The Municipality of Paris ha nomi
nat'd a committee to examine into the
offences of all the prjo lers eo:fi ed in the
gaols and who tfcapeaat th1 time ol the

Letters received y fie r day from Ly

non the people there have fbaken off the
Papal Government and put t litmjelves
under that of France — they fay that they

tairty right no abjolute treaties by

JrGRElCX INTELLIGENCE
When he 1 jasfirH married he vii thin
to a degree of particular objervathn but
being naturally of a inid quiefeent tem
per and indulging in the pleajurts of
the table he is now periiaps one of the
frtte1 men in his dominions
To counteract this in Jome degree he
rifes early andalinofi daily likes the di
verfion of thechaje but from dinner till
bed tune indulges with the intervention
of hardly any other bujsnejs than tkejign
ing dijpatches &c
He has had four children two of whom
are dead His prejent family conjsfis of
the Dauphin a ehiid of about Jix years
old and a Princefs
The Queen is neardly about the King s
age has much majefty and vivacity in her
port and is on the whole reckoned one of
the f nell women in France
Mmlieur the king thext brother is
nearly as fat as the JoveteigU and waS
in the beginning of the prejent troubles
rather a favorite with the people
The Count d’ Arias the A g s fe
cond brother is a tall well moulded etc
gant figure with much vivacity and at
cifion in his character He re idered him
feif unpopular in the Jlrfi meeting of the
Nobles 1 md Item' to have incteajed that
unpopularity to a degree of projeription
The Court party has for jeverai years
back been ended the Queen s aided by
the Count d‘ Artois: Tnefe twowerejaid
to have the mofi prevailing influence on
the King in all liis meajures
Sept" 4 The Duke of Orleans after
all his great popularity Jeetns to have
Junk into oblivion The citizens of P ans
praSiJe miiitasy evolutions and the An

wholly overlooked and lets ton-joy him
