FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
L O N D O N, July 7.
Copy of the King's Proclamation to all the French, on his departure from Paris. (Continued)
THE Societies of Friends of the Constitution, are much more powerful, and engross every part of the active administration. The king has been declared supreme head of the army; however, every thing has been done by the committees of the National Assembly, without my participation: they have granted to the King the nomination of some places, yet the choice which he has made, has experienced contradiction; he has been obliged to revise the operations of the General officers of the army because their choice displeased clubs; to them only are to be attributed the greater number of the revolts of the regiments; when an army no longer respects its officers, it becomes the terror and firebrand of the state: the King has always been of opinion that officers ought to be punished as well as soldiers, and that the road to promotion ought no less to be open to the latter according to their desert. As to the foreign affairs, they have granted to the King the nomination of Ambassadors, and the conduct of negotiations; but they have taken from him the right of making war; they ought not however to have suspected that he would ever declare war without special reason. The right of making peace is of a different sort. The King wishes only to act in concert with the nation, but what power will enter into negotiations, when the right of revising them shall belong to the National Assembly.
Independently of the necessary secrecy, which it is impossible to preserve in an Assembly whose deliberations are public, who would choose to stipulate engagements, except the persons with whom they were formed had the power of ratifying them? With respect to finances, the King had recognized before the States General the right which the nation has of granting subsidies, and in this respect he complied on the 23d June with every thing that had been demanded: On the 4th February the King requested the National Assembly to take into consideration the state of the finances; they deferred it too long; they have not yet a just statement of the receipt and expenditure; they allowed themselves to go into hypothetical calculations; the ordinary taxes are in arrear, and the resource which has been employed of the twelve hundred millions of assignats is almost exhausted; they have left to the King nothing upon this occasion but a barren nomination; he knew the difficulty of this part of the administration; and if it were possible that this machine could have been put in motion without his direct superintendence, his Majesty would only have regretted that there was no diminution of the imposts: an object which he desired, and in which, had it not been for the American war, he should most certainly have succeeded.
The King has been declared Supreme Head of the Administration of the kingdom, and he has been able to change nothing without the decision of the Assembly. The chiefs of the prevailing party have thrown out such defiance against the agents of the King, and the penalties denounced against prevarications have occasioned so much alarm, that these agents have remained without force. The form of government is in two respects particularly faulty; the Assembly exceeds the limits of its power in interfering in justice and the internal administration; by its committees of researches, it exercises the most barbarous of all despotisms. It has established associations, known by the name of Friends of the Constitution, with present corporations
infinitely more dangerous than the ancient; they deliberate on every part of the government, and exercise a power of such preponderance, that all the bodies, and even the Assembly itself, can do nothing except by their order. The King does not think it possible to preserve such a Government. In proportion as the period of the labours of the Assembly approaches, the sages of whom it is composed lose their credit. The new regulations, instead of pouring balm upon the sores, on the contrary inflame their malignity; a thousand journals and libelous pamphlets perpetuate the disorder, which the Assembly is unable to remedy; their labours tend only to a government, metaphysical in its principles, and impracticable in its execution.
Frenchmen, Is it this which you intended by sending your Representatives? Did you desire that the despotism of clubs should replace the monarchy under which the kingdom has prospered during fourteen hundred years? The attachment of Frenchmen to their monarch is ranked among the number of their virtues. I have received marks of it too affecting to be ever forgotten; the King would not bring forward the following, were it not to represent to his faithful subjects the disposition of the factions. The people kept in pay for the triumph of M. Necker, affected not to pronounce the name of King; they, at this period, persecuted the Archbishop of Paris; a courier of the King was stopped, searched, and the letters which he carried broke open; at this time the Assembly seemed to insult the King; it was determined to carry to Paris the words of peace; during his journey, they stopped, in order to suppress any cry of Vive le Roi . They even made a motion to carry him off, and to put the Queen in a convent; this motion was applauded. On the nights of the 4th and 5th; when it was proposed to the Assembly to go and hold their sitting in the presence of the King, the answer was; That it was not consistent with their dignity to go thither. From that moment the scenes of horror were renewed. Upon the arrival of the King at Paris, an innocent person was massacred almost under his eyes, in the garden of the Thuilleries; while all who abused religion and the throne received the honor of triumph. At the Federation of the 14th July, the National Assembly declared that the King was the head; but in order to show that they could name another, his family was placed separately from him; it was then, however that he spent the most agreeable moments of his residence at Paris.
When, from religious motives, Mesdames wished to go to Rome, notwithstanding the declaration of rights, their departure was opposed; they were carried to Bellevue, and then to Arnay-le-Duc, to wait the orders of the Assembly for their departure; the authority of the King was disregarded. In the tumult which factiously disposed persons excited at Vincennes, those who assembled around the King from regard to his safety were maltreated; so far was their insolence carried that their arms were broken in the presence of the King under whose protection they were. When, to get rid of an indisposition, he was preparing to go to St. Cloud; in order to stop him, they availed themselves of the respect which they knew he entertained for them, and the religion of his father; the club of Cordeliers brought a charge against him as refractory to the law—in vain M. de la Fayette endeavoured to protect him: they violently seized the faithful servants who surrounded him, and he again resumed his prison. In fine, he was obliged to order the removal of his chapel, to approve the letter of the Minister of Foreign powers, and to go to mass at the new church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois. With such motives, and in the impossibility which the king feels to prevent evil, it is
natural that he should endeavour to ensure his safety.
Frenchmen, and you who are inhabitants of the good City of Paris withdraw your confidence from the suggestions of the factions. return to your King, he will always be your friend; when your holy religion shall be respected, when government shall be secured on a firm footing, and liberty established upon an unshaken basis. (Signed) "LOUIS."
Paris, 20th June, 1791.
FRANCE.
Proceedings of the National Assembly, on the flight of the king and royal family.
Friday morning June 24.
A Deputation from the district of Clermont stated fresh particulars relating to the capture of the King.
M. Dumas undertook: by order of M. Bouille, to protect his flight; but, abandoned by his dragoons, he was himself obliged to fly.
The King had a passport of this is a copy:
"On the part of the King. To all officers, civil and military, charged with the superintendence and maintenance of public order in the different departments of the kingdom:
We enjoin you to suffer to pass, without interruption, the Barons de Kartz, going to Frankfort, with two children, a woman, a valet de chambre, and three domestics, without giving or suffering her to receive any hindrance.
This passport to continue in force for one month only.
Given at Paris June 3, 1791. (Signed) Louis.
By the King (Signed) Montmorin.
M. Montmorin was ordered to the bar, to state by whom, and how this passport was granted. He endeavoured to exculpate himself by saying he had been surprised.
Friday night.
The sitting was opened by the report of the Commissioners charged to examine the conduct of M. Montmorin with respect to the Kings passport.
The commissioners stated, that having examined the registers, they had found that the passport had been obtained at the request of M. Simolin, the Russian ambassador in France.
A deputation of the Municipality of Paris presented to the Assembly the two citizens who stopped the king.
M. Drouet then gave the following recital:
I am the Postmaster of Saint Menehould, formerly a dragoon in the regiment of Conde. My comrade William was formerly a dragoon of the Queen's regiment.
On the twenty first of June, at half past seven o'clock in the evening, two carriages and eleven horses baited at my house—I thought I recognized the queen; and per-
man at the back part of the carriage, on the left, I was struck with the resemblance of his countenance to the King's effigy on an assignat of fifty livres.
These carriages were conducted by a detachment of dragoons, which succeeded a detachment of hussars, under pretence of protecting a treasure. This escort confirmed me in my suspicion; particularly when I saw the commander of the detachment speak with great animation to one of the couriers. However, fearing to excite false alarms being alone and having no opportunity of consulting any one, I suffered the carriages to depart.
But seeing immediately the dragoons making preparations to follow them, and observing that, after having asked horses for Verdun, the carriages took the road to Varennes I went a cross road, in order to rejoin them.
I arrived before them at Varennes. It was eleven o'clock at night, very dark, and every one gone to bed. The carriages were stopped in a street; by a dispute which had taken place between the petitioners and the post-master of the place. The post master was desirous they should stop, and refresh their horses according to custom; the king on the contrary, was desirous to hasten his departure.
I then said to my comrade Are you a staunch patriot? don't doubt it, replied he, well (said I) the king is at Varennes. He must be stopped. We then alighted, and reflected, that in order to secure success to our plan, it was necessary to barricade the street and the bridge by which the king was to pass.
My companion and I then went to the bridge of Varennes; fortunately there was a carriage there loaded with furniture—we overturned it, so as to render the road impassible; we then ran to seek the Procureur de la Commune, the mayor, the commandant of the national guard, and in a few minutes our number increased to eight men, who were all hearty in the cause.
The commander of the national guard, accompanied by the procureur, approached the carriage, asked the travellers who they were, and where they were going? The queen answered that they were in a hurry. A sight of the passport was then demanded. She at length gave her passport to two guards of honor, who alighted and came to the inn.
When the passport was read, some said it was sufficient—we combat this opinion; because it was not signed by the President of the National Assembly, as it should have been. If you are a foreigner, said we to the queen, how came you to have sufficient influence to have a detachment to follow you?

How came you, when you passed through Clermont, to have sufficient influence to be followed by a first detachment?
In consequence of these reflections, and our perseverance, it was determined that the travellers should not proceed till the following day. They alighted at the house of the procureur.
'Then the king said to us, I am the king; these are my wife and children! we conjure you to treat us with that respect which the French have ever shown their kings!'
The National guards immediately came in crowds, and at the same time the hussars arrived sword in hand---they endeavoured to approach the house where the king was, but we let them know, that if they persisted in taking him away, they should not tear him from us alive.
The commander of the national guards had the precaution to bring up two small field pieces, which he planted at the upper end of the street, and two others at the lower end, so that the hussars were between two fires. They were summoned to dismount. M. Jougles refused; he said that he and his troop would guard the king; he was answered, that the national guard guard him without his assistance. He persisted in his resolution; upon which the commander of the national guards gave orders to the gunners to form their ranks, and to fire. They took the matches in their hands---but the cannons were not then loaded.
'In a word, the commander of the national guards, and and the national guards, acted so judiciously, that the contrived to disarm the hussars. The king was then made prisoner.'
'Having thus fulfilled our duty, we returned home, amidst the applause of our fellow citizens; and we are come to lay before the national Assembly the homage of our services.'
The President congratulated these brave citizens on this eminent service they had rendered their country.
The meeting was then suspended.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 22. THE grand fleet lies wind bound off the entrance of Bosphorus, ready to proceed into the Black Sea with the first favorable change.
The squadron, fitted out for the protection of the Archipelago, consisting of two ships of the line, three frigates, and five sloops, departed, on the 16th instant, for the Dardanelles.
V I E N N A, June 18. On Wednesday evening we received a courier from Sissovia, who brought dispatches dated the 10th current.
On the 7th there was a conference, at which all the plenipotentiaries assisted; but the Turkish plenipotentiary having persisted in the declaration given on the 25th of May, the Austrian ministers observed, that as the armistice was now nearly expired, and they had no longer any business at Sissovia,
they would depart in the course of that day.
They were, however, prevailed upon, at the instance of the Ambassadors mediatory, to remain for forty-eight hours longer, in hopes of the arrival of a courier from the Grand Vizier.
The ultimatum of the sublime Porte accordingly arrived on the night of the 8th inst. and, on the 9th, a fresh conference took place; but it being the firm resolution of Jessup Pacha, that the Ottoman Porte shall not cede a single inch of Territory to the house of Austria; and that he will sign no treaty whatever, which is not formed on the basis of a status quo ; our ministers immediately departed for Bucharest, and crossed the Danube that very day.
In the mean time, the archduke Francis has issued orders for our troops to hold themselves in readiness to march; and it is confidently asserted here, that hostilities will be immediately commenced on the part of the enemy.
Our soldiers are exceedingly picqued by an observation of the Mussulman commander in chief, who has asserted, that it is the same thing to him whether he is to make war against the Russians alone, whom he hates with a deadly antipathy, or jointly with the Austrians, whom he utterly despises.
A fresh campaign seems now to be certain, and, in all probability, is will be a bloody one.
P A R I S, July 3.
M. de Bouille's letter has till now been looked upon as an artful attempt to throw upon the National Assembly; the President however, after comparing it with the writings of that gentleman, has declared its authenticity; and this opinion has been confirmed by M. de la Fayette, who has just received a packet marked Luxembourg, sealed with the arms of the military fugitive, and containing two printed copies of this celebrated gazette.
M. La Fayette's Address. The president announced that the commandant general had a wish to communicate some matter to the assembly.
M. La Fayette---"I have received from Luxembourg, under cover, from M. de Bouille two printed copies of his letter to the national assembly. If the projects he therein announces should be realized, it will assuredly better become me to combat himself than to reply to his personalities. It is not therefore for the sake of Bouille, who calumniates my conduct, nor for your sake, sirs, who honour me by your confidence, but for the sake of such as his intentions may deceive that I am eager to disprove his calumnies. He denounces me herein an enemy to the form of government you have established; Messieurs, I do not renew the oath I have taken, but I am ready to shed my blood to maintain it." The delivery of these sentiments was attended by much applause.
Sunday, July 3. M. Bauharmais resigned the chair, amidst the most flattering acknowledgments, to the presidency of M. C. Lameth.
July 4 When the Ministers waited upon the King, on the 28th of June, after having feelingly represented to him the suspicions to which his flight had subjected them, and the dangers to which they had in consequence been exposed, they informed him, that it would henceforward be impossible for them to have any intercourse with him, without being accompanied by a Commissioner.
Five Members of the Section Maucouzel have already subscribed 500 Louis, as rewards for whoever shall bring the head of Bouille, or of that General, who shall command the troops destined to invade our frontiers. There are other subscriptions of the kind on foot.
A large company is expected to meet, at the Crab orchard on the 14th of November, in order to start early next morning through the wilderness.
AMERICAN OCCURRENCES
NEW-LONDON, September 15.
Last Tuesday evening arrived here the brig Three Brothers, Captain Edgerton, in 20 days from Cape Francois. In this vessel came M rs . Rustan and Pauras, who are deputed from the Assembly at the Cape, to solicit assistance from the United States. They inform, that on the 23d ult. a general Insurrection of the NEGROES took place in the quarter of the Cape---that they had destroyed all the plantations by fire---that they massacred, without distinction, every white man in their power---and that the morning this vessel sailed, the village of Petit-Acre, within three miles of the Cape, was destroyed---that the Negroes are in immense bodies---that they have cut off all communication with any part of the country---have entirely surrounded the Cape, and are within two miles of it on every quarter---that a general embargo had taken place, and all the sailors were constantly doing military duty---but all the shipping were crowded with women and children, and effects of the inhabitants. Expresses had been sent to Jamaica and the Havanna to procure assistance.
NEW-YORK, August 9.
Captain Smith, lately arrived at New-London from St. Eustatia, says a vessel had arrived there from the Coast of Guinea, and brought advice that an English factory, on the coast, had been recently cut off, by the negroes, who sacrificed the whole, except one, who happened to escape. Among the killed, is said to be captain William Wignall, of New-London. By this effort of the negroes, 700 of them emancipated themselves. So much for the Guinea trade.
PHILADELPHIA, September 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape Francois, to his friend in New-York, dated August 23.
The day after my last (August 22) an insurrection broke out amongst the negroes and mulattoes, and they are now destroying every person and thing they come across. There are now eleven plantations on fire in sight, and where it will end God only knows. The inhabitants are in the greatest fear the town will be burnt, and every American here mounts guard nightly. The inhabitants will not suffer any vessel to depart, fearing they will be under the necessity of embarking.
BALTIMORE, September 23.
Extract of a Letter from New York, dated September 18, at 8 o'Clock, P. M.
"There is certain News in Town, received by Express, that the Mulattoes and Blacks have ravaged the Country for a large Extent round Cape Francois, burning all the Plantations, and massacring every white Person, far and near; and when the Vessel, which brought the Information came away, 14 Plantations were then on fire, in sight of the Cape, and all the Vessels embargoed, except the one which brought the News, on board of which came a Person to solicit Assistance from Congress."
LEXINGTON, November 5.
We are informed that 22 warriors of the Chickasaw tribe, are on their way to the Army, and will be in town this evening.
STOLEN
FROM the Garrison at Fort Washington on the night of the 26th ult. the following horses, viz. two bay horses the property of Col. Samuel Hodgdon, Quarter Master General, the one a bright bay, a natural trotter, about 9 years old, and nearly 15 hands high, without any brand or conspicuous natural mark---the other a dark bay, paces and trots alternately, mostly inclined to the former, 15 hands high, and eight years old, no brand or particular mark---Also one gray horse, the property of Col. Darks---One bay horse belonging to Capt. Strong, and one bay horse, the property of the United States, and branded either with a single C, or with a cannon mark on his shoulder. From some circumstances there is reason to conclude that they were stolen by White Villians, and that they are taken into some of the Kentucky settlements for sale.
Any person or persons apprehending the thief or thieves and securing them, so that they may be brought to justice, shall receive Twenty dollars, and an addition of Ten Dollars for every horse received and returned to the Garrison.

JEWISH ECONOMY.
TWO criminals, a Christian and a Jew, Who'd been to honest feelings rather callous, Were on a platform once exposed to view, Or come, as some folks call it to the gallows; O, as of late, as quaint phrase prevails, To try their weight upon the city scales. In dreadful form, the constable and thief, The priest, and ordinary, and crowd, attended, Till fix'd the noose, and all had taken leave, When the poor Israelite, befriended, Heard, by express from officer of state, A gracious pardon quite reverse his fate. Unmov'd he seem'd, and to the spot clost sticking, Ne'er offers, tho' he's bid, to quit the place, Till in the air the other fellow kicking, The Sheriff thought that some peculiar grace, Some Hebrew form of silent deep devotion, Had for a while deprived him of his motion.
Being question'd, by the sheriff's orders, Why not with proper officer retiring, In tone of voice that on the marvellous borders, While that his looks were to the beam aspiring, "I only vail," said he, "before I coes, "Ov' Mister Catch to puy the ted man's clothes."
