RELATIVE TO THE
FLIGHT & CAPTURE of the KING of the FRENCH.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Friday nine o'clock in the morning, —
June 24.
THE Assembly passed a decree to expedite the passage of couriers, by preventing their being stopped any where till within ten leagues of any of the frontiers; but in these limits the strictest attention is to be paid to prevent improper persons from passing the frontiers, for a time to be afterwards determined.
Mr. Romeuf, aid-de-camp of M. la Fayette, who had been in pursuit of the King, gave this account of his journey: That having communicated to the King the decree of the National Assembly, the King swore to him, upon his word, that he had no intention of going out of France, but only of going to Mont-Medi!
A deputation from the district of Clermont, stated fresh particulars relating to the capture of the King.
M. Damas 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 which the following 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 Baroness de Kortz going to Frankfurt, 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 5, 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.
Four Commissioners were then ordered to ascertain the fact. It was then decreed. That the National guards should be sent to the frontiers; that the Commissioners sent by the Assembly, should be authorized to dismiss suspected officers; and that one half of the vacancies should be reserved for the subalterns.
The Assembly then decreed. That for the present the opinions of the Electoral Assemblies shall be suspended.
Friday night.
The sitting was opened by the report of the Commissioners charged to examine the conduct of M. Montmorin with respect to the King's passport.
They said, that the people who were assembled round the house of the Minister, were solicitous to conform to the law, and to remain quiet.
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.
The Minister came to thank the Assembly for a decree which was then passed, justifying him. He was much applauded for having been found faithful to the Constitution.
A letter was then read, from the three Commissioners dispatched after the King, dated
"Dormans, June 24.—Three o'clock in the Morning.
"The King lay the preceding night at Dormans—this night he will lie at Meux, and to-morrow will reach Paris. M. Menou, in the name of the Military Committee, made a report on the necessity of augmenting the number of General Officers, and of the arms and ammunition to be furnished to the departments. Upon which, the Assembly agreed.
That the General Officers, commanding troops on the frontiers, shall be authorized to deliver to the National guards under their command, arms and ammunition of all kinds, such Officers being subject to give an account of the expenditure to the Minister of War, and to take his orders relative thereto.
The National Assembly enjoin the Officers employed, to watch with the greatest attention the arsenals; and authorize them to change the places of these depots, if they think necessary.
The Minister is authorized to make an augmentation of sixteen General Officers, viz. four Lieutenant Generals, and twelve Marshals de Camp, who shall be chosen either from the Officers of the line, or from the General Officers at present existing.
To the General Officers shall be added a proportionate number of Aid-de-Camps.
It was also decreed,
That a list of the General Officers who have incurred dismissal, shall be laid before the Assembly, specifying whether such dismissal was in consequence of not having taken the oath, or on account of emigration.
M. Menou informs the Assembly of the state of military arrangements, from which it appears that from the North to Bale there are 700 pieces of cannon, and a sufficient quantity of ammunition in the magazines to carry on the most active war for seven or eight years, and provisions sufficient to maintain an army of 200,000 men for 18 months. The camp equipage is sufficient for the armies of 60,000 men, and is daily augmenting.
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 Post-master of Sainte Menehoud, formerly a dragoon in the regiment of Conde. My comrade, William, was formerly a dragoon of the Queen's regiment.
"On the 21st 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 perceiving a 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 50 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 suspicions; 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 join 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 postillions and the Postmaster of the place. The Postmaster was desirous that 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?" "Dont doubt it," replied he. "Well (said I) the King is at Varennes. He must be stopped." We then alighted, and resolved, that in order to secure success to our plan, it was necessary to barricade the streets 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 impassable: 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 as 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 follow you? How come 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 until 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 shewn 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. Jouglas refused; that he said he and his troop would guard the King; he was answered, that the National guards would 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 into their hands—but I have the honour to observe to you, that the cannons were not then loaded.
"In a word, the Commander of the National guards, and the National guards, acted so judiciously, that they contrived to disarm the hussars. The King was then made a 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 the eminent service they had rendered their country.
The meeting was then suspended.
Saturday, June 25.
A dispatch received this morning from Verdun was read, stating the arrest of four officers who commanded the detachments sent to protect by force the flight of the King. These officers are Messrs. Choiseul, Damas, Rami, and Floriac. It was decreed,
That they should remain prisoners until the Assembly should take this business into consideration.
The Assembly then passed the following decrees:
1. The King on his return to the Chateau des Thuilleries, shall have provisionally, a guard, subject to the direct order of the Commandant General, who shall be responsible for his conduct.
2. There shall be likewise given, provisionally, to the presumptive heir, a guard under the order of the commandant General, and a Governor, who shall be nominated by the National Assembly.
3. That all those who accompanied the Royal Family shall be arrested and examined, and that the King and Queen shall be heard in their vindication, that such measures shall be adopted in consequence as may be judged proper.
4. That a guard shall likewise be appointed previously for the King.
5. That till it shall be otherwise ordained, the Minister of Justice shall be authorized, as he has already done, since the flight of the King to affix the Seal of the State to the Acts of the Legislative Body.
6. The Ministers and Commissioners of the King, are authorized to exercise being responsible, the functions of the Executive Power.
Half past seven o'clock.
A great agitation manifested itself in every part of the Hall. A report was circulated that the King was crossing the Thuilleries; twenty minutes elapsed before the National Assembly could resume its deliberations.
M. Lecouiteux informed the Assembly that the three couriers who had attended the King, and who were now on the King's carriage, were surrounded by the people, who threatened to hang them.
Twenty Commissioners went out, by order of the Assembly to restore order.
On their return, M. Lecouiteux said,
"When your Commissioners arrived at the place where the tumult was, they perceived that it had been occasioned by the appearance of three persons chained, who were on the coach-box of the King's carriage, and who were said to have acted as postillions on the King's departure from Paris.
"At the sight of the Commissioners the agitation was quieted, and the National guard succeeded in making way for the Royal Family, all of whom entered the palace.
"The three men who acted as couriers are likewise in custody; one of them let fall a pocket-book, which was immediately delivered to me by M. Cormenil, Commander of the battalion, which I lay upon the table. All is now peace and quietness, and the Assembly need be under no apprehension."
M. le President. "You have heard the account which has been just given—Louis XVI. is at present in the palace of the Thuilleries."
M. Blagon. "If the Assembly requires that I should name the three persons who were on the seat, I will name them." Many persons cried out name them. "They are Messrs. Valori,

tension of the Excise upon Wines, the public will judge, when they are informed, that there were but 19,000 pipes of port imported into this kingdom in 1786, and in the last year above 42,000; and yet strange to tell! there was as much wine under the denomination of port thought to be drank then as now.
COPENHAGEN, May 21. Three hundred vessels of different nations have passed the Sound since the 17th inst. Some English vessels among the rest, bound for Petersburg.
The city of Dangberg, in the Bishoprick of Wybourg, has been almost totally destroyed by fire.
Government has just laid an additional tax upon Brown Sugars. imported into Denmark and Norway for consumption there. Sugars imported to supply foreign countries are not subject to this new duty.
VIENNA, May 25. The Emperor has given orders that arms should neither be given nor sold to French refugees in any part of his dominions.
The Elector of Saxony has not yet been able to give a positive answer concerning the Crown of Poland, which is offered him by the New Constitution of that kingdom. He is to call a meeting of the State of Saxony, and consult their opinion. Hitherto the crown of Poland has proved a fatal present to the Electorate; but times are changed; and Saxony having had time to repair the effects of its former misfortunes, is now able to defend its new good fortune.
Fortunately, Prussia at this time is desirous from motives of self interest, to see this political marriage take place between Poland and the Electorate.
JUNE 4. Extract of a letter from Constantinople.
"We have been for these six weeks past in the most cruel alarms—fires exist night and day, both in the city and suburbs neither the strength nor activity of the government has been able to put a stop to this calamity, which will destroy all the habitations. From what we observe with our own eyes, it appears that the soldiery as well as the citizens are discontented; for if the troops were not in league with the incendiaries this scourge could not long exist."
The ravages which the flames have made in Constantinople, in Pera and Galata are beyond estimation. Nor does the government seem to wish to have an accurate idea of the losses.
All the Franks are astonished to see the steadiness of the Sublime Porte, under these circumstances, and are at a loss what to think.
NEW-BRUNSWICK, August 16. Seventy-five troops under the command of Capt. Buel, marched from this city last Friday for Fort-Pitt; a number more are daily expected from the eastward, to proceed to the same place.
We hear that Dr. Clarkson Freeman, a prisoner of the United States, confined at Newark on account of an indictment found against him for counterfeiting public securities, broke gaol and made his escape on Saturday evening last.
Died at Providence, the Rev. James Manning, S. T. D. President of Rhode-Island College.
WINCHESTER (Virg.) August 13.
We can assert from unquestionable authority, that the report of M c Gillivray having quitted the Creeks, on account of their hostile disposition towards the United States, is void of foundation.
The latest intelligence from Kentucky sets forth, that Col. Wilkinson, with about 1200 volunteers, marched against the savages of the Wabash on the 24th of last month.
PHILADELPHIA, August 23.
Extract of a letter from Newbern, (N.C.) dated August 4.
"Governor Blount has made a peace with the Indians, in Cumberland government; which must render the military lands of greater value. The Indi-
ans have sent out expresses to call in all their Chiefs and Warriors."
Capt. Rice of the Amsterdam Packet, arrived in this port on the 17th, sailed from the Texel on the 28th of May, and 10 or 12 days after lost his rudder and topmast in a gale of wind. It is, however, a remarkable instance of his vigilance and ingenuity, as well as a credit to his men, that they have steered the vessel 9 weeks without a rudder, by means of sails, &c. and are all arrived safe in good health.
HARTFORD, August 22.
DIED.] Lately in England, Mrs. Deborah Godfrey, aged 79. She was the widow of Benjamin Godfrey, by whom she had 34 children, all of whom lived to reach a state of maturity. Her husband had upwards of 30 children sworn to him on the act of bastardy.—He was the grand sultan of Ratcliff, and is supposed to have been the father of 150 sons and daughters.
BOSTON, August 31.
FROM FRANCE—DIRECT.
[An obliging Correspondent has favoured the Editor with the following Extract of a letter from a Houje, in France, to a distinguished Gentleman in this town.]
JUNE 25, 1791.
"YOU may probably have heard, before you can receive this, of the departure of the King and Royal Family from Paris—We conceive it cannot but be very agreeable for you to learn (as a pledge of the future peace and security of this country) that the interval of time between that departure being known and the arrival of the news of their being stopped at Varennes, in place of producing any kind of civil commotion in Paris, or in any of the provinces (as far as we have learned) has only served to shew to the world the noble firmness of the National Assembly—the zeal and ardour of the people at large in support or the Constitution they have decreed—and their firm resolution to maintain it against any attempt that can be made against it."
"In this very populous and flourishing province, the whole country is covered with armed men, if we may be allowed an expression that best conveys the idea of the fact.—The troops here to a man, are zealous for the revolution—all is unanimity and peace; and we have not the smallest apprehension of its being disturbed—indeed, if any attack had been made in France, or if any confusion had existed in the country, this town for a multitude of reasons would perhaps have felt it less than any other in the kingdom.—All fears however, of any thing formidable even of that kind seem now at an end here."
"If it was the intention of Foreign Powers to assist the Fugitive Princes, (whose army of itself is nothing in comparison of the force they must encounter even at the out-set) they will not now, surely, that the King and Royal Family are brought back, and at the hazard of very serious consequences to their own dominions, venture rashly to attack a country so populous and powerful as this—where such unanimity prevails—where every man is in arms, and where a very great proportion of the National Guards (from the mode of enlisting in the French army for eight years only, and the young men throughout the country priding themselves in having served) are nearly as well disciplined as the regulars."
"A little time will shew the result;ew the result; but here there is a general belief that this event will even cement more and more the new constitution, and after perhaps some severe examples of those, who have been instrumental in the King's departure, will tend sooner than might otherwise have been the case, to give it that solidity and force so much to be wished for, and now so generally expected."
"We think it also proper to add that we have not the smallest apprehension of the security of person-
al property and the regularity of payments."
"We have not time at present to write to all our friends, ourselves and every clerk in our house being at present doing duty in common with our fellow citizens in the National Guard.—You will oblige us therefore by communicating these advices to your friends."
There are accounts in town which declare, that the National Assembly has DEPOSED LOUIS XVI, has declared the DAUPHIN the lawful successor to the Crown, and has appointed a REGENCY during his Minority. From the magnanimity and moderation exhibited by the Assembly, during and since the interregnum , we doubt the authenticity of the accounts.
FROM SPAIN.
LETTERS, by the last arrivals from SPAIN, inform, That on the day in which the Grand Tribunal of the Inquisition holds its Court, the officers being present, the people with one accord, declared they would no longer bear such despotism. The guards who surrounded the court were called on to disperse the people, which they refused to do; the populace thus seconded, seized the Chief, whom, with fourteen others, they beheaded instantly, carrying their heads through the streets—That a revolution is at this moment agitating in the bosom of SPAIN, and although every precaution is taking, it is much to be apprehended, that nation will be deluged in blood.
FRENCH WEST INDIES.
By every arrival from the French West-India Islands, we receive continual accounts of the commotions which so unfortunately agitate them; and which threaten their ruin. In Cape-Francois, our correspondent informs us, so exasperated are the whites at the decree of the National Assembly, giving the free Blacks and Mulattoes, all the privileges of the Whites—and declares them eligible to any post of honor or trust; and they have entered into a solemn obligation to oppose any force, which the Assembly should send from France, to enforce the Decree.—For this purpose batteries are erecting at various places, which are garrisoned and amply supplied with warlike and other stores—chains are to be placed across the narrow passes to the various ports; and every precaution is taking to prevent a surprise.—The force hourly expected from Bourdeaux, is six sail of the line, besides frigates, with 5000 men. If driven to extremity the islanders openly avow their intention of making application to the British government for protection and assistance.
The Emperor of Germany has ordered his Ambassador at Paris to inform the National Assembly, that he expects to find that the Queen of France, his sister, shall be permitted to live in safety and quietness at the French Court; or that they will take care to have her properly conveyed to the frontiers of Germany.
Arrived at New-York, the Sandwich British Packet, from Falmouth. Passengers—The Right Hon. the Earl of WYCOMBE, son to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE. Major-General MAUNSELL, Miss THOMAS, Miss JOHNSON, and several gentlemen.

DOVER, August 24.
On Saturday last, as a Chaise belonging to Mr. WILLIAM BROWN of
this town, with a woman and two children in it, was passing over the bridge in this town, the horse got frighted and ran with great velocity against one of the rails of the bridge by Col. Calef's Store, broke down the rail, and sprang off the bridge with the Chaise—but we are happy to hear, that neither the woman or children have received any material injury—although the height was near 12 feet and they fell directly on a ledge of rocks—one of the children was thrown out of the chaise, and a large rock fell from the buttment on him—a larger rock which he lay along side of, took off the force of the one which fell, and although the child lie directly under it—he received but a slight wound in the thigh.—The horse came upon his feet and was not much hurt.
PORTSMOUTH, September 1.
The whole of the Grand Fleet at Spithead (England) is 60 sail; 7 of which are Flag ships.
A London Paper, of the 7th of June mentions, that "the Empress of Russia had repeated her assurances to the British Factory, that in case of a War, their property should not be molested, and that the British ships trading to her ports should be suffered to pass and repass as usual."
Capt. Salter arrived here from London, on the 1st of July spoke the ship Nancy, Capt. Murphey, of Salem, from the Isle of White, in the channel, all well.
The Commander in Chief of the Island of Tobago, has forbidden the exportation of sugar and cotton to the United States. An additional duty of 4½ per cent. is likewise laid on rum exported from thence.
We hear that the Secretary of the Treasury is buying 6 per cents at 20/1½. This will stop the fall of those securities, which otherwise owing to the quantity of paper that will be thrown into the market, by those who want cash to make good their engagements, contracted during the late rage for speculating, might have fallen a little below par.
EAST INDIES.
A letter from a person in the army of Lord Cornwallis, dated at fort William, Bengal in India Jan. 22, to his father in Fairfield Connecticut, mentions, that the war in those parts is at a very great height. That his Lordship had lately taken command of the British forces, consisting of about 40,000 regular troops, besides blacks. That they have been worsted by the enemy, with a force of 300,000, and are now in fear of a second defeat.

JEWISH ECONOMY.
T WO criminals, a Christian and a Jew, Who'd been to honest feelings rather callous, Were on a platform once expos'd to view, Or come as some folks call it to the gallows; Or, as of late, as quaint phrase prevails, To try their weight upon the city scales. In dreadful form, the constable and shrieve, The priest and ord'nary, and croud, 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 close sticking, Ne'er offers thro' 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 depriv'd him of his motion, But being question'd, by the sheriff's orders, Why not with proper officer retiring, In tone of voice that on the marv'lous borders, While that his looks were to the beam aspiring, "I only wait," said he, "before I coes, On Mister Catch to buy the ted man's clothes."

THE
Revised Laws
OF THE STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE, AND WILL BE PRINTED BY JOHN MELCHER, AND READY FOR DELIVERY ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER NEXT.
T HE Committee lately appointed by the Honourable GENERAL-COURT, to Revise and Arrange all the LAWS of this State, having completed the same, and laid them before the Court for their inspection, who, after having minutely inspected the same, ordered them to be prefaced with the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, the TREATY OF PEACE, between Great-Britain and America, with the CONSTITUTION of New-Hampshire, and the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED-STATES, and to be immediately Printed and distributed among the people;—they are now by authority committed to the Press. As this will be a complete system of all the Laws of the State, it will be highly requisite for every Justice of the Peace, as well as every person in public business to furnish himself with a book.—The expence attending the printing will be so great, that the Printer fears he shall not be able to strike off more books than are engaged before hand; he therefore requests every gentleman who wishes to have a book, to leave his name with him seasonably, by which means he will secure one.

P UBLIC notice is hereby given, that a petition hath been presented to the General-Court, by the selectmen of the town of Ossipee, setting forth, that the greatest part of the
land in said town is owned by gentlemen living out of town, and but few inhabitants, and the roads so extensive as to put it beyond the power of the inhabitants to support them:—Therefore they pray that a tax of one penny per acre, may be laid on all non-residents land in said town for the term of two years, for the purpose of making and repairing said roads.
Upon which petition the General-Court ordered an hearing on the second Wednesday of their next session, and that in the mean time the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette three weeks successively, six weeks prior to the sitting of said court, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.
