FRENCH NATIONAL CONVENTION.
LOUIS XVIth.
ON Friday, the 7th Dec. a Deputation of the Section of the Thuilleries, waited on the Council-General of the Commons of Paris, with the following demands, among others, relative to the guard of the King:—
1. That two Members of the Council-General should remain, during the night, in the chamber of the ci-devant King, instead of one, which had hitherto been the rule.
2. That as the ci-devant King had the custom of shaving himself, that liberty should now be taken from him; and that, like other prisoners, his beard should be cut with scissors."
The reason given for the first of these demands, was, that the King himself being a very powerful man, and his Valet de Chambre being remarkably so, a single Commissary might easily be overcome, and murdered by them. With regard to the second demand, it was founded on the possibility of the King cutting his own throat to raise the compassion of the people in favor of his son the Dauphin.
The result of the deliberation of the Council-General was the following arrest:
1. Every kind of cutting instrument, and all arms offensive and defensive, and every thing of which other prisoners, supposed criminal, are deprived, shall be taken away from the prisoners of the Temple.
2. Those who serve them, or come near them, shall be subject to the same privation.
3. All eatables shall be first tasted by the persons appointed for the service of the prisoners, such as the cooks, confectioners, &c.
4. Every thing entering the Tower, shall be scrupulously examined by the Commissaries of the Temple.
5. The arrest which orders that the Commissaries of the Temple shall every day give a written account to the Council of what passes in that prison, shall be strictly executed.
6. The servants shall no longer sleep in the Tower.
LONDON, December 14.
The National Convention, assisted by numerous Agents, have employed upwards of three months in adducing the proofs, and arranging the charges, intended to be brought against their unfortunate Sovereign—yet to this individual, who is alternately represented as weak or wicked, just as it suits the purpose of the moment—without council assigned—without previous intimation given—two days only are allowed to find and to present the materials of his defence.—Such a fact renders all comment superfluous.
BOSTON, March 20.
King of France BEHEADED!
A Philadelphia paper, of the 16th instant, brought by the last Mail, contains the following:
Yesterday the Ship DOMINICK TERRY, Captain DE HART, arrived here from Lisbon, which place he left on the 10th of February. Capt. De Hart gives an account of the
Decapitation of the unfortunate LOUIS!
The following particulars we hold from the Captain, and faithfully hand them to our readers, who will themselves judge, whether they are sufficient to remove all doubts respecting the fate of that unfortunate King.
ABOUT the 5th or 6th of February, an English Packet arrived, by which an account was received that the King had been beheaded. His sentence carried, that he should be executed about ten in the morning; but the fear of disturbances, should the execution be delayed till that hour, occasioned his decapitation privately, at an early hour in the morning, about 4 o'clock.
On the 8th, a hand-bill was said to have been received from France, giving an account of the execution. This, Capt. De Hart did not see; but on his request, a friend gave him the following as containing the substance of it.
LISBON, Feb. 8, 1793.
The post brought this day a certainty of the execution of the KING OF FRANCE, on the 21st of January last, between 10 and 11 o'clock of the day. It is said he supported himself with great courage on the occasion, mounted the scaffold with great deliberation, and attempted to make a speech, which tended to prove his innocence.—However, the troops were ordered immediately to beat their drums and sound their trumpets, in order to prevent his being heard; which he perceiving, made a bow to all around him, and laid his head upon the block, and it was immediately severed from his body. A hole was dug in the temple court, near the scaffold, where the head and trunk were thrown, then filled up with earth and paved. As soon as the execution was effected, three huzzas were given by the spectators, hats thrown in the air, and it is said, the executioners, and many near the scaffold dipt their buttons in the King's blood, as marks of victory and triumph.
The QUEEN and Madame ELIZABETH were put into the common gaol and committed to civil justice for examination and justice, and a report prevails that these were put to death two days after.
Capt. De Hart further adds, that the French emigrants in Lisbon were in mourning for the King, and that not a doubt respecting his unhappy fate was entertained by those he had conversed with on the subject in Lisbon.
To this account we must add, that letters to a very respectable house in this city, (Philadelphia,) received by this vessel, do not mention a word of this catastrophe, yet certainly the strong positive assurances given by the Captain are sufficient to set aside this weak negative proof, though it appears singular, that not a word should be dropped on so interesting a subject by a merchant in Lisbon writing to his correspondent here.
The Captain also tells—That an envoy extraordinary had been sent to ENGLAND by the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, to negotiate on terms of peace, but that the Court of Great Britain refused to acknowledge any unless from the KING. The envoy returned, and upon giving an account of his mission, it was there remarked, that it would soon be entirely out of the power of England to think of negotiating with the King.
When the Lisbon Packet left England, the manning of the fleet went on rapidly.
PORTUGAL, when Capt. De Hart left LISBON, was making vigorous war-like preparations. The grain and flour stopping there, though intended
for other ports, was not suffered to be carried off; but obliged to be landed there.
By the ship Citizen which left Cadiz February 10th, no intelligence is received corresponding to the Lisbon account of Louis' execution. It is however to be remarked, that Cadiz is further from France than Lisbon, and that the account is said to have been received on the 8th at the last mentioned place.
Captain Higgins, in the Schooner Ruby, arrived here on Thursday last in 13 days from St. Eustatius, and informs us, that the day after he left that island, he spoke a brig from Bourdeaux, in France, out 40 days, bound to St. Domingo, the Capt. of which assured him, that the King was beheaded.
Capt. Higgins was above an hour in company with the French brig, and the captain repeatedly mentioned the execution of the King. The American public may therefore rest assured, that the unfortunate Monarch whose friendship for them was shewn in the most generous assistance, in perilous times, is now no more.—He has fallen a sacrifice to the cause which he so greatly cherished.
The fate of Antoinette is now to be learnt—Against the Dauphin there cannot be an accusation.
A vessel arrived here on Monday, in a short passage from Aux-Cayes, the Captain of which informs, that a Packet had arrived at Jamaica, as he was told by a gentleman directly from thence, and brought intelligence that War between England and France, was actually declared.
SHIP NEWS.
Capt. H. Williams, of Salem, left at Trinidad, 10th Feb. one 64 gun ship, 2 frigates, and 1 sloop of war (French) that would not hoist the National flag: They brought 6000 people from Martinique to Guadalupe, the Spanish Governor had hired an American sloop to carry an account thereof to Spain. The frigate's rudders were unhung, and hauled on shore, and their sails unbent. Provisions of all kinds were plenty and cheap.
The Brig Pallas, Capt. Wheeler, arrived here yesterday in 40 days from Malaga, and brings a confirmation of the Ci-devant King's being Beheaded on the 21st day of January last.
