LEXINGTON, January 19.
At the date of our latest European accounts, M. de la Fayette was still at Namur, a prisoner to the Duke of Brunswick, who refuses to parole him—his lady is in England.
The combined armies under the Duke of Brunswick, amount in all to 130,000 men. Verdun, at which place the Duke was, the 10th Sep-
tember, capitulated the 2d September. Its garrison was 3500 men. Verdun is between Paris and Thionville.
Mr. Thomas Paine and Dr. Priestly (not his son) are chosen members of the French national convention, for trying Louis XVI.
The massacres reported to have taken place in Paris, were those of the Swiss prisoners and some of the female attendants on the Queen on the second of September. The number was not more than two hundred.
The Court of Spain has actually declared war against France.
Marshal Luckner is re-instated in his command. He is generalissimo of the three French armies; whose numbers amount to above one hundred thousand men—daily recruiting.
There are above forty thousand French emigrants, in England, and the number increases hourly.
On the 21st of September, the National Assembly of France was superseded by the National Convention, who commenced their sitting on that day, and on which they passed the following decree, "The National Convention decrees that royalty in France is abolished,"—Five to a Nation! &c. was vociferated from every quarter.
Mr. BRADFORD. SOME time ago I saw a piece in your news paper, signed a Farmer—I wished some one would answer it, because I want to know whether I ought to purchase a lot at Frankfort, which I want to do: I applied to a neighbour, who is a man of learning, but instead of getting any satisfaction from him (by the bye he is a hot-headed man) he made me more in doubt than ever. He told me, that besides the resignation of the Commissioners, there were other reasons why the whole proceedings were unlawful—that the Convention exceeded their powers, when instead of forming elements, they made laws; that they had no power to make laws—except to provide for the interval between their sitting and the meeting of the first Assembly—that by making laws, they deprived the citizens of the corner stone of republics, a recurrence to first principles, (that was I think his expression) but again says he, they have not carried their illegal plan legally into effect—The constitution says the Assembly shall meet in November every year, and that the Commissioners shall be chosen in the session 1792, would any man say he is in his senses, believe that because the Schedule (after both them there matters were fixed, which was no part of the Constitution, but a thing tacked to it for particular purposes,) declared the Assembly should meet in June, that was the session of 1792; or would he believe that the Schedule has fixed the session when the Commissioners were to be appointed, when that session was declared before the Schedule was made—But says he, it is all of a piece, but I care but little about it, if it was or would be ever so properly fixed by the Constitution, the Assembly when they got tired of Frankfort, could remove it, and who would gain say them; nobody minds the Constitution, witness the law to compel the payment of the Frankfort subscription—my honest neighbour was going on to tell many more of those unlawful things, when I left him—I can't help believing him because I know he is honest, but I am sorry we are to have more of those disagreeable quarrellings we have had about the seat of government;

3W CHARLES SMITH.

In the House of REPRESENTATIVES Dec. 18th 1792.
M R . S. Taylor from the Committee who were appointed to prepare and report the probable annual amount of the Revenue and expenditures of this State, made the following report viz:
"Your Committee have examined the returns made to the Auditor by the Commissioners of the tax, and where no returns have been made, they have formed the best estimate in their power of the amount of the taxable property in such counties, and find the amount of the whole tax which is to be collected by the Sheriffs to be about £6640 9 0 2 which after deducting six per cent for collection leaves a balance of £6242 1 0 2
"Your Committee had no data from which they could form an opinion of the amount of the taxes on law process and alienations, which are to be collected by the Clerks; but have ventured to suppose it will amount to about £200 which after deducting five per cent for collection will leave a balance of £190 to be paid into the public Treasury, which added to the sum of £6242 1 0 2 the supposed balance of the taxes to be collected by the Sheriffs makes the sum of £6432 1 0 2 which will be the probable amount of the annual Revenue of this State.
"Your Committee having been considerable loss in fixing the amount of expenditures of Government, as far as they had materials for that purpose they have used them, where they failed, they were obliged to have recourse to conjecture, the amount thus ascertained they make to be about £4471 1 8 1-2 as will appear from the account annexed.
"Your Committee have thus discharged the duty enjoined on them by the House, but think it proper to add a few remarks on the subject.
"The second tax which will be payable in this State, will commence the first day of December 1793, and at that same day the expenses of the Government will be to be paid by the State for eighteen months; because the government commenced its operation the first day of June 1792; therefore unless there is a sufficiency now levied to pay the expenses of the whole up to that time there will be debts due from the State of which must be provided for at some future day, perhaps it may be unnecessary to take the tax of this half year into consideration in the imposing of taxes at this time, because the same tax next year will from the natural increase of the subjects of taxation from the information of them into the State by emigrants, and from the new settlements which will be made on our out lands, together with such as have failed in giving in their lands the present year (owing to various causes) will probably produce as much more than it will on the present collection as will be equal to the amount of the expenditures of those six months including the expenses of the first session of Assembly: because it is supposed that one session a year will be sufficient hereafter, and because as many of the public offices were not filled at the time the government took place, and as many arrangements, which swell the expenses, has since and may yet be made, it is probable the additional expense caused by the first six months including the expense of said session, will not be more than equal to the annual expenses in future of the State.
"Your committee cannot close their report without observing with pleasure that as the annual expenditures of the government will not hereafter exceed what it is at present including the expense of the first session &c and that as the amount of the Revenue must be annually increased, by the increase of the subjects of taxation as stated above that after the second collection of the taxes now laid, there is the greatest reason to believe that they may be greatly decreased until they will become so low as not to be very burthensome to our fellow citizens.
