Horrid Bloody News !
We are much indebted to a kind correspondent for his particular attention, in favoring us with late Irish papers, from which we have selected the following particular account of the proceedings of the National Convention of France relative to the beheading our late worthy ally, LOUIS XVI, KING of FRANCE. The length of which must apologize for every omission in this day's paper. F R A N C E.
National Convention, Friday January 18. DISCUSSION ON THE FATE OF LOUIS.
Gasperin —"There has been some mistake in the manner of proclaiming the result of the appeal nominal . The number of Deputies is supposed to have been 745, and this number, indeed was fixed according to the principles of the National Representation; but the junction of Avignon to France introduced a change in virtue of which the Departments of Bouches du-Rone and La Drome named three Deputies more, which ought to raise the number to 748. I demand that the Secretaries may be ordered to enquire into the cause of this inaccuracy."
Salle —"The verification demanded by the last Speaker may be easily made. We need only again collect the votes in the same manner as we did yesterday."
Lacroix —"It appears that the votes were not properly collected. I move that they may be collected again. This is the more necessary, as one of the members of the convention is said to have voted for imprisonment, when in reality he voted for death."
Andre Dumont —"I am the member alluded to. All my colleagues heard my opinion. I know not how the clerks came to make a mistake."
Lefage , one of the Secretaries—"If any error has been committed we must rectify it. I shall only observe, that the fidelity of the Secretaries cannot be suspected; for the majority is not contested. It is, however, of importance, that the real majority should be known."
Thuriot —"The list of votes ought to be sent to all the Departments, but it should be first carefully revised. It is of importance not to deceive the public opinion respecting the number who voted for death; and I must observe, that the greater part of those who voted for imprisonment, declared previously that Louis deserved death, but that they thought it useful to change the punishment. I move then that the list taken yesterday may be now read, that its errors may be corrected."
Choudieu —"The clerks have been convicted if not of infidelity, at least of inaccuracy. I move that six commissioners may be appointed in their room, to collect the votes anew in alphabetical order."
Lafource —"I support Thuriot's proposition and no other. I demand that the list of votes may be read over aloud, that the vote of each deputy may be mentioned with his name; and that those who have any observation to make may speak."—Adopted.
Salle , one of the Secretaries, having then proceeded to read over the names of the deputies, and the words, in which each delivered his vote and opinion—
Gensonne said—"I voted for death, but to prove to all Europe, that the condemnation of Louis, is not the work of a faction, I requested that the convention would deliberate, after sentence should be passed, on the measures of safety to be pursued respecting his children and family, and that they should enjoin the Minister of Justice to prosecute before the tribunals, the Assassins of the 2d and 3d of September last."
Several members when their names were called over, gave some explanations on the meaning of the expressions they employed in delivering votes: most of them, however, were unfavorable to the accused. When the Secretary called the name of
Kersaint , who had not voted for death, he requested leave to explain his opinion, but being interrupted, he announced that he meant to give in his resignation, and that he would communicate, in writing, his motives for such a measure.
Petion —"I voted for death without any reserve, but I requested the convention to discuss the question of deferring the execution of the punishment."
The secretary having called over all the names in the list of the appeal nominal ,
Breard moved—I. That the Secretaries should retire, and make out a copy of the minutes, that it might be presented to the Convention to-morrow at the opening of the sitting.
II. That the convention would order an address to the people on the trial of Louis Capet to be drawn up.
Thuriot —"I oppose the second proposition, as it is contrary to the dignity of the convention and the glory of the French people; since it would, on the one hand, represent the trial of Louis as an illegal act which had need of being justified, and would, on the other, be supposing that a number of the French people were partizans of the tyrant. I move, that the Secretaries will immediately present the exact result of the appeal nominal , and that the convention will not separate, until they have determined on the respite demanded in favor of Louis."
Talien —"I second this motion from motives of humanity, which ought to be felt by every member of this Assembly. Louis knows that he is condemned, would it not be barbarous to suffer him to remain long in the horrible agony of suspense?"
Leypaux —"I voted against an appeal to the people, and for the death of Louis. I do not wish that the present discussion should be unnecessarily lengthened; but, on the other hand, we ought not to precipitate in an indecent manner, the decision of so important a question. I move that the discussion may be immediately opened, without fixing a period for its being closed, with a reserve, however, to decide afterwards, whether we shall come to an immediate determination, or wait till the members of the convention have taken some repose."
Couthon —"I request in the name of humanity that Talien's motion may be adopted. Louis is informed of his fate, every moment of delay is a punishment, and, to many people, such a punishment is worse than death. Every sentence in criminal cases ought to be executed in twenty-four hours. That of Louis ought to be subjected to the same rule. Without that there will be no dignity in the National Convention. I well know that, by this grand example of justice, we shall draw down upon our heads the fury and vengeance of tyrants; but these reflections have no weight here; and such is the service we render to humanity, that we tear aside the veil, give to the people of all nations an idea of their force, and, by striking off the head of Louis, strike all tyrants. I support then the motion of Talien, and request that the following additional article may be added to the sentence of death, viz.
'The Executive Council shall immediately send the present decree, by express, to the Eighty-four departments. It shall be executed in the Place du Carrousel , and an account of its execution shall be delivered in twenty-four hours.'
Robespierre —"Since the humanity of this Assembly has declared Louis guilty, and that he deserves death, I do not see what can separate us, when we are united by a common interest. We have voted for the death of the tyrant—we must no longer think of negotiating with tyranny; and I cannot allow myself to imagine that there is in this convention a single man who will refuse to participate in the glory of that courage by which we shall secure the admiration of posterity! With regard to the question of a respite, I think you ought to set it aside through humanity. I should be much grieved did I think that there were many members in the convention who were not of the same opinion. If you do not determine in the course of this sitting, I request that your utmost delay may only be an adjournment till to-morrow. As for my part, I hope for a speedier decision; and I flatter myself that we shall not quit this Hall till we have determined definitively respecting the respite claimed in favor of the tyrant."
Chambon rose to speak, but several members with loud vociferation, demanded that the discussion should be closed. A considerable noise now ensued, upon which the President put on his hat and silence was restored.
The convention closed the discussion, and the President announced that the principal question was, whether the further discussion should not be adjourned till to-morrow?
The previous question was called for upon this motion, but rejected.
The principal question being then put to the vote, the President, after declaring that the adjournment till to-morrow was carried, quitted the chair and retired.
A great number of members remonstrated against the manner in which the question had been carried, and said, it was doubtful whether it had been carried.
The members who sat on the right of the President, quitted their places and advanced into the middle of the Hall; while
those on the left sat still and endeavored to enforce silence.
After some noise, Lacroix, the Ex-President, took the chair, and said—"When the sitting is closed, I no longer acknowledge the convention. If you wish to deliberate, you may chuse another President. I declare that I will preside no longer."
Couthon —"Citizens, we have no right to deliberate. The convention have just decreed an adjournment till to-morrow. This decree seems to have been passed by a majority; but our country suffers, and when it is in danger, its representatives ought to be at their posts. For my part, I declare I will remain here as if the sitting was permanent."
A great number of members called out—"We also will remain," but the members on the right side quitted the convention.
After some moments of permanence, Couthon said, "Citizens, I was the first who proposed to you not to quit this hall, because our country is in danger. As I perceive, however, that this measure may disturb the city of Paris, and occasion an insurrection, I think it will be more prudent to retire during the night, and to agree that we shall, early to-morrow, open the sitting to determine this important affair. The result of this step will be, that the citizens in the gallery will retire and announce that public tranquility has not been interrupted."
Robespierre —"To interrupt our permanence, is not the only service we can render our country. Let us not conceal that there is a plan formed for withdrawing the tyrant from the punishment pronounced against him by the law. If you are not upon your guard citizens, a faction will oppose the salutary example which you wish to give to nations. Louis will be privately put to death, to prevent him from being exposed on a scaffold. I conjure you, then, to pursue the necessary measures for avoiding this insult to the national sovereignty, and for insuring the execution of the decree which you have passed. I swear, that I shall be in this seat at eight o'clock to-morrow morning, to demand, that the convention will determine, without delay, on the respite claimed in favor of Louis."
It was now announced, that the commandant general was in the Hall. Being invited to mount the tribune, he said, the greatest tranquility prevailed in Paris; that a considerable body of troops would maintain it; and that the people seemed to be in the best dispositions.
After these observations, the members agreed to separate for the night.
Several members announced that a report was spread of attempts having been made to set fire to the appartments of the late King. They however added, that they had been perceived time enough to prevent any bad consequences.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 19.
At eleven o'clock the sitting had not opened, on account of the absence of the president and the two secretaries. It was demanded that they should be censured but the president, Vergniaux, was exempted on account of being indisposed, and the two secretaries appearing, declared, that their absence had been the necessary consequence of the multiplicity of business with which they had been charged for four days. The decree of censure was repealed.
Choudieu —"I demand that we pass to the order of the day, and that we decree the question of delay."
Talien —"I demand, that the sitting shall not rise without a formal decree adopted."
One of the secretaries read a list of the members who were to speak on the question of delay.
Leinard Bourdon demanded, that, without entering into an useless discussion, they should immediately proceed to the appeal nominal .
Valaze —"Several members have proposed to demand a respite, and, without doubt, will fix different periods. I wish for no other delay in the execution of the sentence of Louis Capet than till the expulsion of his family from the territory of the republic. I demand the order of the day, pure and simple, and that the discussion open as was decreed yesterday."
Marat —"I am impressed with indignation to see agitated in the Assembly a question already decided. It is a contest of the minority against a decided majority. I demand that the Assembly decree that there is no room to deliberate on the question of delay, and that the tyrant be sent to punishment within twenty-four hours."
Fons de Verdun —"The question pro-
posed to you to-day has been already completely discussed. You have several times taken up the question of delay upon political considerations, and likewise in the discussion on the appeal to the people, and that which preceded the last appeal nominal ; so that they propose to you to recur to a question which has been already three times decided. They propose to you, to entail upon yourselves, with respect to foreign nations, the scandal of having pronounced the sentence of death before you had examined whether, upon political considerations, it ought to take place; and let it be observed, that at most twenty-five members are upon this point, in opposition to the whole national convention. I demand the previous question on the adjournment and the discussion."
Gensonne —"I approve of the opinion of Fons, but if it is not proper to occupy a long time in the discussion of the delay, at least it is necessary to take the measure calculated to ensure the general safety, before we carry into execution the sentence of death. The convention ought to summon to its bar the constituted Authorities, in order to obtain information whether the state of Paris gives reason to apprehend any disturbance, if the execution should take place within 24 hours. It is proper to provide for the security of persons and property, and particularly to put under the protection of the laws the children of the condemned sufferer; for the execution ought not to dishonor the national convention. I demand, then, that the information which I require on all these points should immediately be ordered."
The assembly closed the discussion on the proposition of passing immediately to the appeal nominal , and passed to the question of the delay that was demanded.
A letter was received from Manuel, complaining of the conduct of the convention, from whom, he said, a disorderly band, by the sole talent of making a noise, took away all power of doing good. By your conduct, continues he, you have exposed France, and such as you are (the truth escapes me) yes, such as you are, you cannot save it. He concludes with giving in his resignation, as having no longer in his power to be useful at his post. He henceforth proposes by his writings and examples, to devote himself to the education of children, as the Revolution wants nothing but men.
Bujat , who spoke first on the question of a respite, represented the personal dangers which threatened those who approved of a delay: He was insensible to such considerations. The assembly, in order to abridge the trial of Louis, had been compelled to neglect some customary forms. This deficiency of forms, which in the present moment was of little consequence, might be matter of serious reproach to the convention with posterity, if, by the delay, they did not prove that the whole of their proceedings had been influenced by justice and not by precipitancy. I conclude, said he, with giving, as my opinion, that the execution of the sentence of death be deferred till the expulsion of all the Bourbons. If you do not remove the persons connected with the tyrant, you will soon have a King. It is not enough that Louis singly perish. If you do not exterminate the faction who might give him a successor, you are undone.
Thuriot —"In vain they affect the purest patriotism; they wish to serve royalty; the decree is passed: It must be executed. They tell you to dread the resentment of the Departments against an improper majority. But have they forgot that all the members of this Assembly are agreed with respect to the crimes of Louis? They are forced to confess that the city of Paris has but one opinion in regard to the tyrant, and yet they insinuate doubts of the dispositions which may be testified in the sequel.—No, I am not afraid to say, there is not one Parisian who is not ready to shed his blood for the execution of your decree. Paris does not wish for a new despot. What then is the strange system of sacrificing all the Bourbons?—sacrificing those who have done nothing against their country, while they have not the courage to speak to you of those infamous men who conspired against liberty; and, while they knew all the crimes of the tyrant attempted to save him. It was said after the death of Louis they would endeavour to name a new King. Why then had they not dispatched him on the 14th of July, 6th of October, or 10th of August? They appeared apprehensive of foreign powers, but they did not know they had to combat all tyrants, and had engaged to assist all people who were desirous to regain their

liberty. The letter talked of from Spain was a mere artifice, no such letter existed. I conclude with demanding that Louis be executed within twenty-four hours, and that the Executive Council be charged to take the measures necessary to ensure the public safety."
Barbaroux —"It is evident, that if the French Republic perishes, the establishment of liberty in Europe, will be retarded several centuries. Those are little acquainted with the politics of courts, who think that the death of Louis will furnish a pretext to foreign powers for declaring war against us. When Kings have the means and desire to make war, pretences are never wanting. The execution of the sentence ought to be hastened from many considerations, and I think the expulsion of all the Bourbons is a measure of general safety. I vote then for the execution of the sentence, and move, that before definitive sentence be pronounced the Convention shall pass sentence of banishment against all the Bourbons."
Condorcet —"Whatever course you pursue, there are doubtless dangers which you cannot avoid. I think I can, however, prove, that for the dangers of respite there are sufficient remedies, or remedies which may at least lessen them. Hitherto we have only had to combat Kings, and armies attached to the cause of tyrants by severe discipline. The people have remained in a state of uncertainty, the effect of which has been favorable to us. Kings are endeavoring to instigate them against us; to gain their end they will take advantage of the execution of Louis, and they will succeed if you are not on your guard. Let us prove to the whole world that we are not barbarians; and that, if we wish for the death of the tyrant, we wish also for the happiness of mankind. Let us strike the ci-devant King, let us abolish the punishment of death for all private crimes, and reserve it only for treason. Let us hasten to revive our system of taxation, to establish beneficent laws, to form a system of public instruction, and to meliorate the management of our hospitals. We may then answer tyrants, if they reproach us with the death of Louis; and we may rest assured that with such dispositions he may then be executed without danger in twenty-four hours."
Brisso —"Such has been the influence of the French Revolution, that at London, Vienna, Berlin, and every where, great deference is paid to public opinion. It is consulted, it is feared, and attempts are made to corrupt it. The public opinion of Europe is of more importance to us than armies. In this state of things, the immediate execution of Louis must be very unfavorable to us. There are in Europe two classes of men. The first, consisting of philosophers and friends of liberty, will not see the necessity for the death of Louis, and will think that a great nation ought to disdain sanguinary vengeance. The other, composed of the slaves of prejudice, will consider the punishment of a King as the greatest of crimes—and both will unite to condemn us. On these considerations I vote for a respite till the new constitution shall be ratified. If you pursue another course, you must declare war against England, Spain, and Holland. Give an example of moderation, and a revolution will be accomplished throughout all Europe."
Ligandre —"I found my opinion on the sacred rights of nature. On the 10th of August every man had a right to kill the tyrant. Vengeance has been deferred, in order that a grand example might be given to all nations. The hour of justice is now come—the head of Louis must fall on the scaffold. I am against all respite."
Thomas Paine appeared at the tribune, and as he was unacquainted with the French language, Bancal read a translation of his opinion, the substance of which was as follows. "I prefer an error occasioned by humanity, to an error occasioned by severity. You have no other ally than the United States of America. Louis is the best friend of these people, who consider themselves as indebted to him for their liberty. Were I acquainted with the French language, I should appear at your bar and present to you in the name of my American brethren a petition for a respite. The news of this execution will give great pain to these sons of freedom. You ought not to adopt such rigorous measures. Louis Capet has doubtless betrayed the French nation, but the mischief he has done has been the effect of prejudice and of his condition.—Had he been the son of a farmer, I am certain he would not have been a bad man. He has been brought into his present melancholy situation, not so much by his own fault, as by that of
the constituent Assembly. I demand then, that Louis may be banished with all his family to the American States."
Barrere , the last member who was heard, delivered a long speech with great warmth, and concluded with voting against the delay.
The discussion being closed, the convention proceeded to the appeal nominal on the question, Whether the execution of the sentence passed against Louis Capet should be delayed?
Several members wished that the term of the delay to be voted upon should first be decided.
Legendre observed, that the first question should certainly be, whether there ought to be any delay, and that the convention could afterwards easily fix the term.
Some members when they voted wished to assign their reasons, but this was opposed by the convention, and the members were permitted to pronounce only, YES or NO.
When the appeal nominal was terminated, the President announced, that, after calling over the votes upon the question, What punishment should be inflicted on Louis? and after the explanations given by several who had voted for death with restrictions, it was found that the sentence of death pronounced yesterday upon Louis had been carried by a majority, not of five, but of twenty-seven votes.
The President then declared the result of the appeal nominal on the question, Whether the execution of the sentence should be delayed?
Of 748 members, 17 were absent on commissions, 21 from sickness, 8 without any assigned reason, 12 did not vote, 310 voted for delaying the execution of the sentence, and 348 against delaying it.
The convention then ordered their Decree to be immediately notified to the Executive Council, with orders to give an account to-morrow at 11 o'clock, of the measures taken to put it in execution within twenty-four hours! The sitting rose at 2 o'clock this morning.
EXECUTION OF LOUIS THE SIXTEENTH.
PARIS, JAN. 20.
Sunday evening—Eight o'clock.
The dreadful sentence is at last to be executed. After a long discussion on Saturday, the convention came to the determination of executing Louis XVI. within twenty-four hours.
To-day it has been announced, that the execution is to take place to-morrow morning, at eleven o'clock, in the Place de Greve. I can, however, assure you, from the best information that this is only a blind to the populace, as it is intended to take him off by torch-light at four o'clock in the morning. At the moment in which I write, poor Louis has only eight hours to live!
Universal horror and despondency prevail. The people, both men and women, are now weeping in the streets, and lamenting the fate of their unfortunate King; but no one daring to speak out, for fear of having his name inserted in the black list of proscriptions.
Numerous armed mobs are parading the streets, and all the public places, uttering violent execrations against the King and Queen, and dreadful threats against all who have ever shown the slightest disposition to favour them.
There is now, indeed, a melancholy certainty, that the King's death will be accompanied by a general massacre; and it is the general opinion, that the queen and her unfortunate companions will be murdered while it rages—even the Dauphin is not expected to escape.
The Princess Royal is dying—at that critical period of female life, when ease of mind, and tender care, are more peculiarly necessary, grief and neglect have brought on a disease that is fast sinking her to her grave.
The Queen is reduced to a perfect skeleton; Madame Elizabeth is the best of the three, but even she is in a very indifferent state of health.
What has added to the general sensation of distress and alarm, is the bad news received from the fleet in the Mediterranean—it was dispersed in a violent tempest, and has been much damaged—the Admiral's ship of 80 guns, escaped dismasted into the bay of Naples, and two other ships of the line have been entirely lost.
[A postscript to the English papers conveys in the following words the melancholy information of the King of France having been put to death:]
P. S. THE KING OF FRANCE WAS EXECUTED ON SUNDAY, AND BURIED IN THE TEMPLE.
This account was brought to London on Wednesday evening by express—Their Majesties had signified their intention of honoring the theatre that night with their presence, and were setting off from the Palace when the
news of this melancholy event was received—every preparation was countermanded—the Royal family remained in the palace, and sorrow took place of that happiness which the father of his people enjoys from their loyalty and affection, whenever he appears in public.
Private letters mention, that he was strangled in the Temple, that the Dauphin was declared by the Convention to be illegitimate, and that the mob had given directions for the appointment of Dumourier to be Dictator.
The letters add, that the massacre of the Queen and her children, is expected to follow the murder of the King!
L I S B O N February 8.
The letters received at Lisbon from Paris, state, that during the time the Convention was determining on the fate of Louis, a great mob surrounded their Hall, and threatened not to let one member escape with his life until they should pronounce sentence, and until it was brought forth and read to them.
In consequence whereof the Convention was obliged to satisfy the people, and a committee was appointed to carry the sentence and read it to the King in his apartment, which when they had done, it is said he fainted away—that the lights were then taken from his apartment for some time, and the King left alone, in order that when he recovered he might feel the more horror.
The execution took place on Monday the 21st January, at 4 o'clock in the morning, and with torch-light. A hole was dug under the scaffold, into which the head and trunk fell, and a fire was made which reduced it to ashes, after which the place was paved over. [Another account relates, that the head and trunk were thrown into the hole dug for the purpose, and covered up without any ceremony.]
It is reported at Lisbon, that the QUEEN and the KING'S SISTER, were summarily tried and condemned as TRAITRESSES, and were beheaded.
THE DAUPHIN IS UNIVERSALLY BELOVED BUT IS TO BE BANISHED, as also is M. EQUALITY, notwithstanding his vote against the King.
L O N D O N, January 12.
The combined armies destined to act against France the ensuing spring, will, it is said, amount to more than 300,000 men. The Austrian and Prussian troops will be each under separate command.
Yesterday, a board was held at the Admiralty offices, Charing-Cross, when several tenders for the impress service were put into commission.
N E W-Y O R K, March 22.
We have accounts by the Trial , that the English Packet had four shot fired at her by a French frigate as she went out of Lisbon, with intention to bring the Packet to, but she refused to slacken sail, and proceeded on her voyage with hoisted colours.
The English prints are filled with accounts of the eager spirit of that nation for war—that exclusive of the King's bounty at five pounds, the counties had offered an additional recompense of fifty shillings to every seaman who would enter the fleet; the consequence of which was, that men were enlisting extremely fast.
They were pressing men fast at Lisbon when the Trial failed, and the place was strongly fortified—1300 had been pressed in one night, and the common jails almost emptied for men. The people in Lisbon are dreadfully alarmed for fear of a visit from the French fleet, which is said to be on very respectable footing.
There were eighteen British ships of the line ready for sea, and it was believed they were destined to join the Spanish and Portuguese fleets.
It was further mentioned, that Mr. Egalitie, who had signed the sentence, had not thereby been able to save himself from the force of the decree banishing all the branches of the Royal Family.
B O S T O N, March 30.
WAR INEVITABLE!
Accounts received thro' various channels, declare a WAR between the Republic of France on the one side; and Great-Britain, Spain, Portugal, Holland, together with Austria and Prussia, on the other, to be inevitable.
A gentleman in this town has received a letter from a respectable merchant, in Malaga, dated February 25th, in which the writer says, "Before this reaches you, you will, probably, have heard of the DECLARATION OF WAR, made by the National Convention of France, on the first instant, against England and Holland." Another letter informs, that authentic advices has been received at Malaga, from Bourdeaux, of the date of Feb. 6; confirming the Declaration of
War; and adding, that orders had been received at Bourdeaux, for detaining all the British and Dutch ships then in that port.
A letter has also been received by a gentleman, from his captain at Malaga in which it is mentioned, that the only free flags in that port, are two Americans; that great freights were offered them for various ports, and that he expected to charter his ship to great advantage during the war.
Added to our other accounts, we may venture, from the above, to assure the public of the certainty of a GENERAL EUROPEAN WAR; and that it will be a bloody one, cannot be doubted, when we reflect that France has actually FOURTEEN HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN IN ARMS; and a very formidable NAVY on float: and her enemies a force vastly superior, in point of numbers to these.
Capt. TODD, in the Brig Mary, arrived here yesterday from Cork, in Ireland, which he left the 7th of February:
He informs, That the utmost preparations for WAR were making in England and Ireland, but that a DECLARATION thereof had not been made: and
That the commotions which, have lately agitated Ireland were fast subsiding; the English Government have adopted towards the Catholics of that Kingdom, such measures as had given them satisfaction; and which were likely to effect an union of all parties.

Therefore Voted ,
