from the -publick newfpsperi, when I
observed the unfortunate effect of a pass
port which I had the honour to request
of your Eminence three week ago. I
there read,that Madame the Baroness de

impress the publick, whose opinion I in
finitely refped,with the idea, that I had
infringed upon the rights and privileges
of the Swedish Ambaffadour. -1 hasten

that Madame the Baroness de Korff is a
Ruffian,born at Pecerfburg,widow of Ba

the Enoprefs, who was killed in the as
sault of Bender, in 1770 : that fee is.the

likewise born at Petersburg, and that
they have both resided at Paris f0r,20
years past. &

the exigencies of their country. They
a& for the permission of swearing, in
your presence, that they will not employ
those arms which they took up in' the
cause of liberty, except in the defence of

Should be which do not attack the rights

and impressive serenity, of which they
have difplajed so affeding an example,
augments the fury of our enemies, hast
en to inform us of those places in which
they can be difeovered ; and may the

SPEECH^FAYETTE,
When be introduced a deputation of the
National Guards:'
" Mr. P RESIDENT,.,
The President made the following-re;.!, :
" FROM You it was natural to expert
the molt intrepid and virtuous efforts for
the preservation of the publick freedom.
All France is too sensible of the obliga
tions which You have already bellowed,
not to foppefe it certain, that, in the
sequel, you will confer more. It is
with joy, it is with confidence, that the
Representatives of the nation receive
yOur oaths. Should our enemies forget
that the People of France are free, they
will be taught by You that the power of
Freemen is as iacxhaoftible as their va
lour."
NEWYORK AUG. JO.
Had the French K'ng been aole so cf
fe& his escape, we need hardly doubt,
that he would have been foob joined on
the Frontiers, by numerous armies, be
longing to the different despots of Eu
rope, who would have been happy to
seize such an opportunity of facrificing
Republicanism at the ihrine of arbitra
ry Power,and offering the blood of Pat
riots, as a cordial to revive the spirits
of drooping Royalty and thus -prolong
its existence in Europe for some time
further. „
Had not Louis been so providentially
arrefled in his flight, the French might
have expected soon to fee " the unclean
Spirit" of Despotism returning, with
seven other Spirits more wicked than him
felf," and again taking possession of the
Hoirfe, which they had been at fa much
pains to ''empty fweef and garnifo."
Before it was known that the King
had been flopped, papers were polled up
in Paris, withrthe following inscription :
'' Strayed a great Hog, those who feall
difeover him,fhall he moderately rewarded."
