PARIS, September 23.
Abul'ttion oj Royally in Franci.
BKTWEKN 12 anil one o'clock
011 the 21 ft inH. the new nati
onal atlembly of Kiante aflembled ;
when having palled through some
conftituiing ioiiris, and- among the
relt that of appointing Petion pre
sident, t!ie ranting Manuel com
uienceJ the fitting by contending
that the Piefident ol the Conventi
on (liould be confldei ed as the Pre
sident of France, and lodged in the
national palace, and that his facr«d
person (liould always be pitceded
by the ensigns of the law. So that
in him the people might duly honor
that national sovereignty which ori
ginated ill themselves ; In short,
this chcre ami of Petion, whether in
confequetice of previous private in
ftrutftion or not, cannot, in the pre
sent state of things, be ascertained,
was for throwing down with a IVrong
hand, as he expi eil'ed himfelf (unc
main bardie) all the exi(ting powers,
and inverting, in the name of the
nation, this their idol as their king
without the title !
This dashing measure, however,
was put aside for the moment—
" Let us begin," said M. Chabot,
" byr reforming the abuses which
the conftitupnt aflembly admitted in
its decrepitude."
Thi King and Queen.
The following is tb.e account giv
en by M. Gorfas, of the condutfl
of the Royal Family in the
Temple. It is founded, ke fays,
upon notes taken by commiifioiiers
of the community.
Louis XVI. takes a book, quits ir,
takes another ; makes notes with a
pencil, and explains latin paflages
to bis Ton, chuling especially such
paflages as are analogous to his pre
sent circnmftances. f
Maria Antohiecte makes her chil
dren read and recite dialogues with
intonations and geltures,which (hew
that listeners were known to be at
the doors. Within thelaft few day 9,
the valet de chambre of the ci de
vant Duke de Coligny, was at her
door in the disguise of a ians Cu-
lotte,
Elizabeth teaches cyphering and
drawing to her niece ; afterwards
each takes a book, and then they
have dialogues. (The family is ve
ry fond of dialogues.) They dine,
and the dinner is always exquiliie.
After dinner, some parties at pi
quet, and some stratagems to talk to
the commissioners, in order to inter,
rogate them, which interrogations
are intermittent. They then take
up books, and Sometimes walk with
airs of majesty, and with the great
est indifference as to little mortifi
cations.
At night the wife of Louis XVI.
reads aloud ; aiuongit other things
the letters of Cecilia ; sometimes
ihe reads oFan unhappy Count,with,
the daughter of a Prince of a great
family, who (hares his unlmppinefs,
and will ally herfelf to him in order
to revenge it. Enigmas are propos
ed. Those of Mercury are guetfed
at. Equivoques are made. They
draw cards and fee sometimes rain,
sometimes storm, sometimes calin
weather,
In genera] they talk in cyphers ;
• I have seen 8 ; and I 11 ; and I
even it.' The widow of the Civil
Li,ft said, four days since, to her Af
ter Elizabeth, < You told this morn
ing, a gi eat (lory with reflection.'
replied, < You would talk
of multiplying 10 l>y 10.'
The following decree was palled
by the National Allembly, on Thurs
day last, on the motion of M. Gen
/'unnet ;
I. The asylum of every citizen
lhall be inviolable duringthe night
Krom fun-fee to sun-rising no per foii
can be ariefted except for capital
crinu-s, and no execution can take
place without the presence of the
Justice of the Peace of that Diftritft.
II .Should the above formalities
be violated, every citizen may u s e
iuch means of defence as he n.ay
have in bis power, and thole who
make any attempts against his peace
lhall be ptmiilied as enemies to in
dividual fafety.
111. In places where any legifla-
tive body are aflembled, the alarm
£niiis cannot be fired, nor the toclin
founded, but by order of the Nati
onal Alienibly. Whoever violates
tliis order, (hall be puniflied as a
dilturber of public tranquility.—
Decreed.
Yelierdav returned 10 this town, from oer
fo« ming a three months tour of duty in Mero
diflrift, a company of mounted infantry, com
manded by Hugh Beard, and two of
infantry, under the command of Captains Brown
and L.i{k,
Ti:e fame dav they took four horses from Ma
jor Rjnifey, of Tenueffee count*.
Noiwuhftandiig the vigilance of th«>fc com
panies, so expended are the frontiers of Mcro,
and covered wiih almoll impenetrable cane
biakfs, the following will {how tp what lengths
the Indians have cariied their depredations, since
the attack on Buchannan's ftatton.
Wtdnefday, Oftobcr 3. A party #f Indians
fired seven guns 011 Janr s M'Ron l , on the north
fide of Cumberland. Abo> t ihe fame time Ben
jamin Jncelin, on the south fide ot Cumberland,
had about 20 gnus discharged at him ; neither of
ihefe persons were wounded.
Sunday, Oflober 7. A Mr. Irvine was (hot
through the thigh, en a road about fix miles
south ot Nashville. The fame day about two
miles from the above place, Thomas Thompson
was fiied at, but rerei cd no injury.
Tuetday, October 9. A party of Indians
went to Sycamore < retk, 18 miles from Nash
ville, and burnt the houses ot James Frazer,
Riley, and Major Coifield, drftroved a quantity
of valuable houdiold furni'ure, a large quantity
of coin, and shot down a nun b r r ot bogs. They
then proceeded to Eufhy creek of Red river,
where they bu.ntthe bouse of Obadiah Roberts,
and took off a number of horles. They were
followed by a parly ol men, who killed one of
the Indians and regained the horses.
Wednesday, October t«». William Stuart
was killed about iix miles fiom Nashville, on
the north ftoe of Cumberland. The tame nijrht
the Indians burnt Slumo's distillery, on Whi : c's
creek, on the nonn fide of Cumbeiland. His

A eorrefpondent at Cumberland informs,
that Jothain Carpenter, Etq. of that town,
with the afl'ftarce of Mr. Daniel Rov, has e
refled a machine on Pawtucket river, for wa
tering land. This machine raises three hun
dred gallons of water, and discharges the fame
ten feet above the furface of the water in the
flume, in the space of a minute ; the operati
on being performed by a (ingle wheel. This
invention, it is expetflcd, will prove highly
advantageous to the proprietors of lands in
the vicinity of rivers, or other waters, as it
may with great ease be conftru&ed to raise
water a greater or left heighth, as may be re
quired.
The General Court is adjourned to the last
Wednesday in January next.
Tile nioft remarkable pair of young cattle
that were ever fecn in this town, were on
Saturday last fo'd in Faneuil Hall Market—

Market 3.616 pounds—They weighed exae*.

of Cumberland, and took from hnn ten valua
ble horses.

It is an old obfervalion, that " there is not a
son or daughter of Adam, but has fame concern
with geography and that a knowledge of this
feitnee is inritfpcnfable towards the study of his
tory with advantage or fahsfadion. Indeed a
man unacquainted with it, cannot difcourfeon the
most common newfpapcr topics of the day without
betraying his ignorance.
So much for geography generally. With re
fpea to the present plan, let it fuffice to remark,
that Guthrie's Geography has been long acknow
ledged to be the best in (he £ngliih language :
however, the account ol America in it has, from
obvious i Pafons, been very errcyieous and defec
