the repeated applause of t^e Assembly.
The mufick then resumed the tune Ah !

Crown should be decreed to M. Mangin

great number of citizens, armed and un
armed, entered with, uplifted hands.
They marched across the Hall and Pep

" Wefwear cue quill live free, or die,
. These having retired, were succeeded
by another patriotic!: phalanx, which al
so made the hall resound with their oaths
and acclamations of joy, mixed with the
found of military instruments. ~
M. de la Tour Maubprg observed,that
the form of the miliary oath, voted a
few days since by the Assembly, was
now rendered improper, by the cifegm
ftance of the King's departure, and mo
ved, " that the military Committee foould
be direaed to com,fe a new one.''

municipal Officers at Vareanes, with the
fallowing letter :—
The fitting was suspended at half past
eleven o'clock, and resumed at noon.
M. Rabaud,who had occupied the

who had been ordered,with several of the
Members, to attend the procession of St.
Germain l' Auxerrois, announced their

Members of the Assembly then entered,
preceded by the band, and escorted by a

Lastly, he was to invite all those who
continued attached to him, to join him,
and was to march towards Paris ; which,
had the other parts of the plan fucceed
etl,would not have been difficult as there
is not a ingle fortified town betwixt it
and Metz.
The plan of the King is now reported
with confidence, to have been as follows
—He was te go ta Montmedi — If the
garrison of Metz would receive him, he
was to Ihut himfelf up in that town ; if
net, to pass on to Luxembourg. At all
events he was to assemble the refugee
members of the former Parliaments—
to hold.a bed of Justice, , and to propose
the articles of the Royal fitting of the
23d of June, 1789 with some addi
tions. He was then to enjoin the Mi
nisters to receive no orders but from
him ; and the people to pay no taxes
but to him. A general amnesty was
then to be offered, from which fixty
four persons were to be excepted, who
were to be delivered to him. .
M. Reabel moved—"that M. de la
Fayette should be called on to account
for the King's departure."
- M. Barnavc—"l cannot allow M.
Reubell to proceed. There are circum
stances under which the patriotism of
the best citizen may be called in ques
tion ; but in times of great and iminent
dagger, all these feeds of division and
of party ought to be fopprefcd. The
Commandant General of the National
Guard has given ft fficient proof b, his
iignal services to the revolution that be
has devoted his life, to it ; and I am con
vinced, 1 trill answer for him, that he is
ready to shed the last drop of.his blood
in its defence. —The danger most to be
dreaded at a moment wheq we have
occasion for the whole publick force, is
weakening the confidence due. to those
with whom it is entrusted. What we
have then to do, is, to put the capital
and the empire in such a posture of de
fence as may enable os is watch events,
and guard against those that might be
fatal. I move, therefore^ that we de
clare M. de la Fayette has our confi
dence; that all the citizens of Paris be
invited to arm under his direction, and
hold themselves ib-readinefs lo second
the decrees of the National Assembly."

On Saturday lift the Ministers, in a
body, waited upon the king, ata time
when he was Surrounded by all the roy

danger to which he had ex ; pofed their
perlons by his journey —M. Montmorin
in particular, who had run a considera
ble rifle, by the manner jn which with
out his knowledge,the passport had been
obtained, tfeded the King and Queen
very much by his representation of the
events of the day on which they de
parted, ,
It now appears that every thing was
well concerted for the escape of the
King.
The fugitives at Brussels were so folly
persuaded that the King would effeß his
