Important Intelligence,
" Far from all those, who are ac
quainted with the rules of oar conduct
(and, we believe there are very few
Frenchmen who,do not righclyappreciate
them) be the idea that we could concur
in such decrees. They are not less un
pleasant to our feelings, than repugnant
tp cur principles. Never have we more
fecureiy felt the rigour of our duty ;
never have we more lamented the fatal
confluences refusing from the miffiAh
with which we were charged, than when
forced to remain witnesses of ads, which
we regarded as culpable attempts, while
those who are mod frequently our organ,
became timid for the firft time condemn'd
themselves to fil2r.ce,that they might not
involve the sacred cause in that unpopu
larity which has so ingeniously been
contrived to be thrown upon our party.
Without doubt, if we were guided by
common rules ;,if we yielded to th^hor
rourwfth which we were inspired by the
idea of being thought to approve, by
our presence, decrees to which we were
To averse, we would fly without delay ;
we would without hefication separate
from an Assembly, who have been able
to break through principles which they
had been forced to preserve. But in
circumstances so lingular, we can nei

sentiments as the basis of odr condta.

after having infringed the inviolabili
