the committee rose, and the chair

litiet, and as talents and abilities
cannot have hereditary descent, ic is
evident that hereditary succession re
quires a belief from man, to which
his reason cannot fubfcribe,and which
can only be established upon hi^ ig
norance ; and the more ignorant any
country is, the better it is fitted for
this species of government.
On the conrary, Government in a
well constituted republic requires no
belief from man beyond what his
reason can give. He fees the rati

As, therefore, each of tbofe forms

This letter was communicated to M.
A^on, who expressed his pointed dis
approbation of its contents, and wish
ed M. Montmarin to be informed that
" the whole French nation was held
in execration in the two kingdoms of
Naples and Sicily, both on account of
their behaviour towards a Sovereign
of the family of the Bourbons, and
their unremitted endeavours,by means
of emissaries and infamous'writings,
to promote revolt and sedition in other
kingdoms andffates.' 'M Acton add,
ed, that the FrenchSecretary,atPaler
mo, had been convided of making
treasonable propositions to the citi
zens of that place ; and that, in con
sequence thereof, he had given orders
to imprison and punish him in a man
ner the most exemplary.
There was a report on Friday,that
two entire regiments of Imperial dra
goons had deferred from Flanders into
France. Should this be true, there is
reason to fear some diflenfion between
Che latter kingdom and the Em,ercur;
for, according to an eflablifrti treaty
deserters have always been given up
by each power; but according to a
decree of the National AfTembly all
men are free upon French ground^ad
owe obedience to none but the law.
^ On, the /th inflant, M. Condb
having ftnt for all the officers quarter
ed at Manheim, Heidenburg, Cahbnt^^

the following speech:
"Gentlemen,
“ 1 HAVE sent (or you an purpose

" It is very probable that the King
will accept the constitution. But
'whether he accept it of not, that cir
cumstance will make no alteration in.
dur designs. You well know that his
Majesty has attempted to quit t^e
kingdom, because he has been depri,_
yedof his liberty. Although it is
reported that he is how perfe&ly free,
he is as much as ever under oonfine
menfi ft is .true that he has been per
mitted to have a body of guards ; but
he is as unable as .ever from quitting
the kingdom, a perpetual watch being
set over kllhis aliens. ,
"The Princes and myfeif dec, arc
and protest to you, iltat we will never
return to France, until we have re
eflablifhed the ancient nobility of the
kingdom, in their former rights and
privileges. We are ready to pay
taxes on our eßates ; but we are de-•
termined that the King shall recover
his authority, and the church its for
mer fplendour and possessions. We.de
not want the refloration of the ancieat
government, but such a constitution,
M. MALOUET, a member of the
late National Assembly of France,'
thinking it improper to protest now
that the Confutation was accepted,
refufed to fi„n the protest, but has
published the following declaration :
" I have made no P/oteft ; but
neither those who praise me, nor these
who blame me, have the right to lay
that k retiad or dissemble my opini
on. I declared to <he National As
sembly, that, in the quality of Man
da ory of the People, 1 could not,.and
would not, give my fuffragas to a£cn-
Ritution, contrary, in many points,to
my inftruaions, and to what I confi
