Fat ette,with their refpe&ive armies
arrive at Paris,before the troops march
ing up from the South, the Royal Pair
will probably be fafe. In the other case,
Jthey will certainly remain prifonera,
I and perhaps be made to pay with their
lives for the cxceffes committed by o
thers.
In the sessions of the 19th a letter
was read from the King, announcing
his formal refusal to fandion the de
crees refpeaing the banishment of re
fractory Priests, and the encampment
of 20,000 men near Paris. Previous
to fending this letter, the King made
hislaft will.
During the late riot one of the mob
presented the King with a red bonnet,
adorned with National cockades, and
' demanded the reinstatement of the pa
triotic Ministers, the retraction of the
veto on the decree against the priests,
and for the eltablifhment of a camp.
His answer was noble and manly.—
" If the welfare of the nation cor/ifts in
wearing a red cap, I have no objection
to wearing it. Pure in my competence. i
have no dread.—As to the decrees,this is
no time to speak of them.—/ have (worn
to maintain the constitution, and I will
defend it at the rijk of my life."
On the evening preceding the late
riot, his Majesty made use of the fol
lowing affecting words to the National
Guards, on duty at the palace—" 1
learn that the deluded people of the
Fauxbourge St,.Antoine and St. Mar
ceau, are to come here to-morrow, ar^
med with pikes, in order to threaten,
perhaps to take away my life, if Ido
not fapdion two uncoo ttitufional de
crees,though they both militate against
my conscience : I am well convinced
you will display your courage io pro
testing me ; but I had much rather die
than fee blood fpilt for mine ; 1 there
fore beg of you to forfake me rather
tha'n to give the lignal for a civil
war !"— fears were the only answer
to this heart rending addreis.
The King's firmnefs is highly ap
plauded.
OF ALL PARTIES IN FRANCE.
July 9.
Tn the National Assembly yesterday,
it was proposed, to open a difeuffion
of what measures were necessary to
save the country. The Bilhop of
Rhone and Loire proposed, that the
Legifla(ive body ihould give a proof
and example of union and concord :
Hitherto they have been divided into
two parties ; he accused them recipro
cally of wiring to subvert the consti
tution ; one of them, by substituting
the system of two chambers, an upper
and lower house, and the other a re
public. He demanded, the President,
therefore, to fix a day and an hour,
when he should put to the vote the fol
lowing question:
" That all tbofe, who neither wijbed
fora Republic of for two chamber:
Jbould rij'e."l
He had scarcely pronounced these
last words, but by a seeming Ipontane
ous motion, the whole Assembly rose,
and all favore to remain inviolably at
tached to the confutation ; and immedi
ately the two parties mingled together
and embraced, amidst a general pub
lic applause, which was very affeaing.
It was immediately decreed,to print
an account of this day's proceedings,
and fend copies to the eighty-three de
partments, and to the military troops
—And that a deputation should wait
on the King, to impart it to his Ma.
jelly, who did not delay participating
in the general joy, but immediately
went to the Assembly, and addressed
himfelf as follows :=
“ To the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Gentlemen,

The KING replied, " I was sorry,

to the confiitution will re-unite all the
French :— The King will always give
them the example."
FREDERICK-LOW N, Sept. 4.
A GENTLEMAN arrived in town
on Wednesday fall, from Pittf
burgb, who informed us that he saw
the whole army at that post, which
consisted of 1000 infantry, 4000 rifle
men, and 200 light-horse—they were
under the command of Gen. Wayne,
in a military exhibition on a well
chosen piece of ground for that pur
pose, near the town. —The army was
detached in two divisions, one in their
uniform, and the other painted in the
Indian mode—both parties having
their spies out, and the aid-de-camps
riding to and from the General with
dispatches : When a difeovery was
made of the approach of the oponents
an advance was immediately com
menced oh both sides, the conflict be
gan, when the most masterly evolu
tions and firings were displayed—/
The Indian party, fculking from tree
to tree, in their native covert, the
woods, while the other continued the
charge—surrounding and harassing
them. It would be impossible to copy,
more naturally,the attire, paint,fculk,
and whoop of the Indians. The day
being favourable, and the scene so
judiciously and seasonably changed,
as both to surprise and delight, while
the good tondud of both officers and
foldicrs was strikingly conspicuous.
They intend to go down the river in
a few days.
ANSWER of tbe PRESIDENT to th

~ PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8.
Extraa of a letter, dated August 18tb,
from a gentleman mCape-Francois, to
bit father in tbit city,
"The beginning of this week a dis
pute arose between a white man and a
mulatto, about a negro girl, when the
former killed the latter. The sown
was immediately alarmed-five of the
whites were instantly killed, and three
wounded, with one mulatto——Thus
the affair ended, and every thing re
mains as before—as long as a mulat
to remains in the island, so long will
disputes, for the lower class of whites
are very much exafperaced against them
on account of their liberty. The ne
groes, almost every night,fet fire tothe

being in quiet possession of all that
country round the Cape."
A brig arrived there from France a,
bout the fame time—which brought
feme intelligence refpe&ing the a&ions
with the Austrians, which accounts
have been already published. The 8000
troops intended to be embarked for the
defence of the Weft.lndia iflands,were
detained inFrance when the brig failed
owing to the- great difeontents that
were prevalent. Indeed it was a mat
ter of much doubt with men of confe
quenCe, whether they would any longer
rely on the promises of the French
Government— and it was reported that
several gentlemen had gone to Barba

mode of application to the BritiffiGov
ernment for protection—in which case
they had in contemplation to throw the
French islands into the hands of the
English. This we give as mentioned
to us by a person who heard it fpbken
of at the Cape.
^ugu/l 1. The Prefideut
of the National Assembly
informed that body that he
had received by post the de
claration issued in the name
of the Duke of Brunswick.
The Assembly declared by
acclamation, " That if the
laws of war are not ftrid
ly observed, in regard to all
Frenchmen taken with arms
in their hands, all the offi
cers belonging to the ene
my, who may be made pri
loners, shall experience a
similar treatment, whatever
may be their rank, titles or

SEPTEMBER 19.
Friday last the Ihip Ohio, Captain
Kemp,arrived at New-York in godays
from Bristol- By this vessel London
papers are received to the iithAuguft.
We have room only for an abftrad of
the interesting information they con
tain.
A letter was lent by the
King to the Assembly, rel
ative to the Manifefto—in
which he fays that it exhib
its nothing that can be con
sidered as a proof of its au
thenticity. He calls on the
nation to be united—and
profeffes in the warmest
terms his determination to
support the Constitution,
Independence and Liberty
of France. This letter be
ing read in the Assembly,
a motion was made that it
should be printed and sent
to the 83 departments. On
this motion the previous
question was called—M. Iz
nard, having with difficulty
obtained a hearing, laid that
the King's letter contained
only a heap of falfehoods."
The propolal of printing
the letter was rejected.
August 4.
The Envoys of the Commonalty of
Paris, with M. Petion at their head,
appeared at the bar,and M. Petion de
manded in the name of the 48 fedions,
that the King should be excluded from
the throne, & that the management of
affairs during the interregnum, ffiould
be entrusted to responsible Ministers,
until the election of a new King in a
National Convention.—M.Petion laid
the King has always (hewn himfelf an
enemy to the people, an enemy to the laws,
and an enemy to France. This excited a
violent agitation in the Assembly. Se
veral members delired to be heard; but
the tumult rendered it impossible, and
the President put an end to the fitting
without any vote being come to upon
it.
The Assembly have passed a decree,
in which such temptations are thrown
out to induce the Auftriahs and Prussi
ans to desert their colours, as it is
thought will desolate their armies as
loon as they pitch their tents inFrance.
—The Duke ofßrunfwick was exped
ed to march on or before the firft of
August—A letter from Paris, dated
4th Aug. in an English paper, has this
passage—" I will not fay that in this
fever of republicanism, the King may
not be declared to have forfeited his
crown; but I am fore that republican
ism will not enduie for a week. Ihope
however,that they will avoid the dread
ful evil of suspending the King, as I
am sure the fame cffe& would disdain
their army." Such was the Bate of
things on the 4th August.
About the 28th July the Auftrisns
made an attack on the French army at
Maulde—the French advance Guard
consisting of 6000 men was attacked by
10,000 ; theAuftrians yielded the field
-='.hey loft 200 men, and great part of
their baggage—and Lad it not been
for the treachery of two Colonels who
deserted, the victory of |he French
u ould have been complete. M. La Fa
yette was well, at the head of his army
the 28th July.
M. Luckner in a letter to the Nati
onal Assembly, has exprefily denied
that he ever accused M. La Fayette of
an intention to march against Paris.
M. La Fayette in another letter fays,
that such an accusation " is not true."
M, Montefquiou, commander of one
of the French armies on the Frontiers,has
resigned.—M. Luckner, while at Paris, 4
gave a molt degrading account of the
grand armies ofFrance in refpc& to their'
numbers and equipment. —The King of
Denmark being invited by the Kings of
Hungary and Prussia to join the confed
eracy against France, has declined to ac
cept of the invitation. Among other ob
servations in his answer, he fays, 66 Den
mark has acknowledged, as well as the
deceased Emperor of the King of Prussia;
the constitution of France, since Louis
XVlth. has solemnly avowed it."
