A LMANA C K,
IMITATED FR'OM THE GREEK.,
ALL are not just because they do not wrong ;
But be who will not wrong me when be maj.
He is the truly just. Ipraife not them,
Who in their petty dealings pilfer not;
But him whose conscienceJpurns a Secret fraud,
Where be might plunder and defy fu#pri%e ;
His be the praise, who, looking down with Scorn
On the falfe judgment of the partial herd,
Consults bis own dear heart, and boldly dares
To BE, not be THOUGHT, an Honest Man.

MIRACLE.
DEATH of ABEL.
NE^GRANTHAM
THE PIERIDES.
The machinations of the priests be
came more adive in the moments of
war, and made a restraining law indif-=
penfable : One was passed.
The formation of a camp between
Paris and the frontiers, was a disposi
tion happily calculated for external de
fence, while at the fame time it served
to give security to the internal depart
ments, and to prevent the troubles
which their disquiets might have pro
duced ; the formation of such a camp
was ordered ; but these two decrees
were rejected by the King, and the
patriotick ministers were dismissed.
The constitution granted to the
King a guard of 180 men, and this
guard audaciously manifefted a con
tempt of civick duties, which inspired
the citizens with indignation, or with
terrour ; hatred of the constitution,
and above all, of liberty and equality,
were the best titles for being admitted
into it.
The assembly was forced to dissolve
this guard, to prevent both the trou
bles which it could not fail soon to oc
casion, and the points of counterrevo
lution, of which but too many indica
tions were already manifefted. The
decree was fandioned ; but a procla
mation by the King bestowed praises
on those very men, whose difmiffion
from his service he had just pronounc
ed, to those whom he had admitted to
be men justly accused of being the
enemies of liberty.
The new Ministers excited well
founded distrust, and as this distrust
could not flop at them, it fell on the
King himfelf.-
The application of the refufal of
fanftion to decrees rendered necessa
ry by circumstances of which the exe
cution ought to have been prompt, and
must stop with the decrees, was regard
ed in the general opinion, as an inter
pretation of the constitutional ad, con-
partments —excited uneasiness among
the, citizens, and thus fomented in
them, and perpetuated trouble. Never
did hostilities more really juftify war ;
and tQ declare, was only to repel it.
The National Assembly were then
able to judge to what degree, notwith
standing promises so often repeated, all
the preparations of defence had been
negteded. Nevertheless their uneasi
ness, their distrust, still rested on their
former ministers, on the secret coun
cils of the King ; but they soon saw
the patriotick ministers crossed in their
operation, attacked with rancour by
the partisans of the royal authority, by
those who made a parade of personal
attachment to the King.
Our armies were tormented with po
litical divisions ; discord was sown a
mong the commanders of the troops,
as between the Generals and the Min
istry. Attempts were made to trans
form into the instruments of party,
which concealed not its desire of sub
stituting its will for that of the Repre
feniatives of the Nation, those very ar
mies that were destined to the exter
nal defence of the french territory, and
to maintaining the national independ
ence.
[Continued from the FIRST PAGE, ]
trary to liberty, and even to the spirit
of the constitution. The agitation of
the people of Paris became extreme;
an immense crowd of citizens joined to
form a petition it it ; they solicited the
recal of the patriotick ministers, and
the retraaibn,of the refufal to fanftion
the decrees in favour of which the pub
lick opinion had been loudly declared.
They desired leave to pass in arms be
fore the National Assembly, after their
deputies had read their petition. This
leave, which other armed bodies had
before obtained, was granted them.—
They desired to present the fame pe
tition to the King,and to present it un
der the forms established by the law ;
but at the moment when municipal of
ficers were coming to inform them,
that their deputies, who had been re
fufed at firft, were going to be admit
ted, the gate was opened & the crowd
rushed into the palace. The zeal of
the Mayor of Paris, the afcendency
which his virtues and his patriotism
gave him over the minds of the citi
zens, the presence of the Representa
tives of the people, of whom succes
sive deputations constantly surrounded
the King, prevented all serious disor
ders, and few assemblages so numerous
ever gave occasion 10 less disorder of
any kind.
The King had mounted the ensigns
of liberty, he had done justice to the
citizens by declaring that he thought
himfelf in fafety in the midst of them;
the day of the separation was ap
proaching ; citizens from all the de
partments were to repair to Parish
there to swear to maintain that liberty
for which they were going to fight on
the frontiers! and all might still have
been repaired. But the Ministers saw
nothing in the eyents of the 20th of
June, but a favourable occasion for
lowing division between the inhabit
tants of Paris, and those of the departs
ments, between the people and the ar
my, between the several portions of
the national guard, between the citi
zens who remained at their homes,and
those who were flying to the defence,
of the state.
The very next day the King chang
ed his language ; a proclamation, full
of calumny, was profufely distributed
among the atmies ; one of their Gen
erals came in the name of that which
he commanded, to demand vengeance,
and to point out his victims. A con
siderable number of directors of de
partment by unconstitutional refolu--
tions, dilclofed the plan they had long
before formed, of tailing themselves
into a fort of intermediate power be
tween the people and their Representa
tives; between the National Assembly;
and the King.
Justices of the peace commenced,
in the very place of the Thuilleries, a
dark procedure ; in which it was hop-'
ed to involve those of the patriots,
whose vigilance and whose talents were,
the most dreaded. Already one of
these Justices had attempted to infringe
the inviolability of the Representatives
of the people, and every thing an,!
nounced a plan concerted for findingin
the judicial order the means of extending th'
Royal Authority. [To be concluded in our next.M
