Authentic Accounts of the COMMOTIONS in France.
From the MASSACHUSETTS CERTINEL.
[The commotions in the dominions of our great and good Ally, are a subject of general speculation. The accounts which have been published here of them, are vague and contradictory, being principally collected from the British papers. We are happy to have it in our power to lay before our readers, the following accurate detail of facts, which will afford a clear idea of the great and important transactions which have taken place in France. This account was received from a respectable quarter—fully competent to a just information.]
Paris, June 12, 1788.
THE great alterations which were expected to be made in the French Constitution, have at length taken place in the course of the last month; disappointed at the unshaken resistance of every Parliament of the kingdom to registering new taxes and new loans, the Ministry thought of quashing their power at once, and depriving them of the long enjoyed privilege of registering edicts.
This bold stroke was determined upon by Mr. De Lamoignon, Lord Keeper of the Seals; but it is confidently asserted that it never met the approbation of the Archbishop of Sens, the chief Minister, who perhaps feared the fatal consequences of it.
Although this scheme was but whispered in the Cabinet of Versailles, it soon reached the ears of the Members of the Parliament of Paris, who endeavoured and succeeded in procuring authentic proofs of its being in agitation.
Mr. Despremenil, one of the most eloquent and warmest advocates of French liberty, and Mr. Gossard, another Member of the Parliament, were so fortunate as to procure two copies of the edicts which they were printing secretly at Versailles; they immediately brought them to the Parliament, and on the third of May, after many debates, it was resolved, that all these innovations were contrary to, and subversive of the French Constitution; that every Parliament, Court of Justice of the kingdom, and all such as were entrusted with the defence of the fundamental laws, were bound by their oaths, to check the Minister's attempt: The Parliament availed itself of the opportunity to assert and publish a declaration of rights, which was written in the most energetic style.
The alarm quickly spread throughout the interior parts of the country, and all the other Parliaments were soon informed of these new circumstances—they all determined to oppose the ministerial schemes.
The Minister did not, however, give up his design—Exasperated at the premature discovery, he ordered the two members of Parliament, who had announced it, to be arrested. Messieurs Despremenil and Gossard, by the advice of their friends, took refuge in the Court of Justice, which afforded them protection and safety.
As soon as the intelligence of their retreat, had reached the Court of Versailles, the regiments of French and Swiss guards were ordered to invest the Court of Parliament, and to enter it by force, if any resistance was made—and Mr. Dagon, one of the captains of the French guards, was commanded to arrest Messieurs Despremenil and Gossard.
No resistance was offered—the gates of the Court were given up to the Parliament guards; but when Dagon made known his private orders to the Parliament, and asked for Messieurs Despremenil and Gossard, all the members cried out, "We are all Despremenils and Gossards—ready to go where the King pleases to send us."
Dagon then withdrew and sent to the Minister for new orders—the night passed—all the Dukes and Peers, and almost all the nobility, who, led by curiosity, had forced themselves into the Court, were obliged to pass the whole night there; the Court continuing besieged in expectation of an answer.
In the morning, Dagon, attended by a military officer, returned to the Parliament, which was ordered by the Minister's answer, to make known Messieurs Despremenil and Gossard to the officer, and deliver them up under the pain of imprisonment.
This officer had been favored by many services from Mr. Despremenil, whom he highly revered, and unwilling, he pretended he could not carry his orders into execution. Struck at this surprising mark of gratitude, Mr. Despremenil came forward to the Captain of guards, told his name and declared he was ready to follow the officer. He then thanked the Parliament for their patriotic and friendly interposition—recommended his family to them in the most pathetic manner—and went out with Gossard. They were immediately conveyed in a coach, Despremenil to the island of St. Marguerite, in Provence, and Gossard to the castle of Pierre enise, near Lyons.
Then the Parliament entered a most solemn and spirited protest against such a violence, and the outrage committed against the first tribunal of the kingdom, after which they dispersed.
On the seventh of May, they were summoned to meet at Versailles, where the King being present, ordered five edicts to be read, by which several houses of Parliament are abolished—the greatest only being reserved; they are deprived of a large share of their jurisdiction—several provincial Courts, called Grands Baillages , are created instead of them: They are to enjoy the right of giving a verdict, uncontrollable by any superior Court.
By another edict, the King deprives this Parliament of the right of registering his edicts, and transfers it to a superior Court, called Cour Pleniére . This Court is to be composed of the first officers of the Crown, Captains of guards, Lord Chamberlain, Lord Chancellor, two Members of each Parliament, one Member of each Provincial Assembly, all chosen and appointed by the King.
Several articles which had crept in the penal laws, are removed by another edict.
When the reading was over, the Parliament was ordered to withdraw—they were prohibited from meeting together, and performing their former functions, until the alterations should have taken place.
Notwithstanding, the Parliament entered into a solemn protest, and being deprived of their register, they had their protest registered at a public notary's office, printed and published.
In order to prevent their future meeting, the House of Parliament was filled with soldiers; some riots ensued, but they were easily quelled; though no blood was shed—for the soldiers were ordered to bear every kind of insult the populace could offer.—But far different was the result of these innovations in the interior parts of the kingdom.—The respective commandants of each province had been ordered to march with troops, and hold themselves upon the defensive. The state of Brittany had a previous meeting, and resolved to suffer none of them to be carried into execution; and the members engaged themselves by a solemn oath to view him as an infamous wretch who should accept any office in the Cour Pleniére , or whoever should support it in any form whatever. This re-
solve was sent to the Parliament of Rennes.—It was printed and published, and it was determined to make a spirited remonstrance to the King.
Remonstrances were made, but they proved unsuccessful. The Intendant and Commandant of the province were directed to proceed to the execution of the edicts, for which purpose they marched into the Court of Parliament, attended by three regiments; but the Britons, so far from being terrified at this sight, began to increase in number, and assault the soldiers; several of them were disarmed—stones were thrown at the Commandant's carriage—the Intendant was wounded, and fearful of the mischiefs consequent upon such a riot, the Commandant ordered the soldiers to confine themselves to their barracks.
The intelligence of this alarming insurrection soon reached the Court of Versailles; fear seized upon the Ministry—they promised the Commissioners of Brittany to withdraw their edicts, but would not commit their promise to writing.
Dissatisfied at this unfair refusal, the Britons entered immediately into a confederacy against all the ministerial schemes. Many hundred noblemen, in and out of the province, subscribed—Copies were sent to all parts—to all persons holding property in Britain; it was particularly recommended to the Marquis de la Fayette, one of the greatest landed proprietors in Britain, and this gallant friend to universal and French liberty, answered them immediately, that "he agreed with all his heart to their confederacy, and that he would with all his might, oppose any act contrary to the French Constitution."
The edict did not meet with a better success in the Parliaments of Besançon, Pau, Grenoble, Bourdeaux, Dyon, &c. all which entered into animated protests. But that of Grenoble distinguished itself by a declaration of rights, remarkable for the conciseness, precision, and elevation of thought. The nobility of that province declared that they would support those rights by all means.
Struck with terror at this universal opposition, the ministry kept a deep silence, and seemed very uncertain what measures they should adopt—they determined, however, to try a first meeting of the Cour Pleniére , which was laughed at by the populace, even at Versailles. This experiment did not prove successful—the Peers declined their attendance, and protested against it.—The great House of Parliament of Paris did not go until they were forced by Lettres de Cachet , and again protested; so that there was no other member besides the King, Mr. Lamoignon, and the captains of guards. No business of any importance was agitated—the King declared that he would have all his orders obeyed, and the assembly dispersed.
The noble protestation made by Mr. Daguesseau, son-in-law to Mr. Lamoignon, must not pass unnoticed. The latter expatiated in the bitterest reproaches against him on the occasion. "You may," replied the young Senator, "disgrace the name of LAMOIGNON; but, never will I consent to disgrace that of DUGUESSEAU."
Notwithstanding the ill success of the Cour Pleniére , the Minister ventured to compel the Baillages , or judicial Courts of Provinces, and chiefly the Châtelet de Paris , to register the edicts; as they had previously enlarged the power of these tribunals, they relied much on their compliance; but again that hope was frustrated—the Châtelet de Paris nobly refused to sanction the edicts. Similar was the conduct of the first Baillages —a few, indeed, received it, and a catalogue of their names was pompously published in the public papers; but they are only petty, insignificant Baillages .
Such was the situation of affairs in France about the end of June last. Anarchy with the ministers, and an open war between them and the Parliament; much confusion occasioned by the momentary interruption of the Courts of Justice; a universal outcry for the States General , as the only efficacious remedy against all these evils.
It is very remarkable, that amidst all these schemes, confusion, resistance, and Lettres de Cachet , the King of France yet retains the unimpaired love of his subjects.—Every one rests upon his candor, and inclination to public welfare—every one laments that he is betrayed by perverse advisers—he is generally thought to be averse to tyranny. Nor is this to be wondered at, when we take a retrospective view of his conduct.—When we see a young Prince, idolized by his people, uniting to an excellent heart every endowment nature could bestow—stripping himself of the vain show of grandeur and pomp, and sedulously seeking in the scattered remnants of French prosperity, the means of restoring to that beautiful country her lost grandeur, by reviving the inexhaustible resources, which nature gave her in preference to almost every other part of the world.
It is generally hoped, the States General will meet this year, and if that meeting takes place, the restoration of peace and order is beyond all doubt. The rights of the French nation will be grounded on a firm and good constitution—and as the resources of that nation are vast, it is a prevailing opinion, even among such as are most conversant with her debt, that it will soon be discharged, provided means be procured by the constitution for producing a faithful and satisfactory account of the appropriated funds.
The expectation of a Convention of the States General is so universally admitted, that the public stocks did not sink so low as the present crisis would admit, and that trade has not been disgraced by a great bankruptcy as in England.
I cannot conclude this account without observing how powerful has the influence of the American revolution been in this crisis. The political principles of the United States have been diffused throughout France, and are every where discussed, printed and quoted. The declaration of rights of the parliament of Grenoble bears striking features of analogy with the celebrated American declaration.
The clergy itself has discovered the same patriotic sentiments—on being called upon for a loan of eight millions of livres, they peremptorily refused it, resolved to make warm remonstrances to the King against the dissolution of parliaments, and demanded too the Convention of the States General . The Bishops of Blois and Chartres distinguished themselves by their patriotism and eloquence among the leaders of the opposition.
It is a public rumour, that Lamoignon and the first minister will be dismissed—they are universally execrated and lampooned—The latter has now lost his warmest votaries by his pusillanimous behavior—Lamoignon is violently abused in the remonstrances of the parliaments of Grenoble, and people think it impossible that he should continue in office when the States General are called, his despotism having inflamed all classes of people against him.
From the above facts it is obvious, that the present situation of France presents those who look for the true prosperity of nations in a solid constitution, with the most pleasing hopes. If it takes place, it will be by conciliatory means, because on the one hand, the King's affection towards his people is undoubted, and on the other, the multitude of enlightened people which exists in France will use their influence in favour of conciliatory measures.
In this chaos of events, the United States must expect a considerable increase of their trade with France. Under a better constitution, all restraints upon that trade will be unshackled—Then will it be true to say, that the French constitution will be far preferable to the English; for her provincial administrations, organized by the people, and corresponding with the States General , will be far more remote from that corruption with which the English parliament is infected and disgraced.
WORCESTER, August 28.
We hear from Newfane, that on last Friday sen-night a child, son of Mr. Jesse Jewell, of that town, was killed by riding a horse to mill with a halter on, the end of which was fastened round his wrist by a slip-noose—the horse started, threw him off, and dragged him near 17 rods, which put an immediate period to his existence.
Of the violent TORNADO last week.
On Tuesday last week in the afternoon, the back parts of this county, were visited with a most furious tornado which came from the South-west, and in its course extended many miles in width. By accounts from New-York, Connecticut, Vermont and New-Hampshire, we learn that it was severely felt in parts of all those states—as yet we have not been favored with very particular accounts of the damage sustained by this convolution of nature, but as it extended over a large tract of country it must be great.—At Putney, in the state of Vermont, a number of barns were uprooted, several cattle killed by the falling of trees, which in some places were broken off, and in others buried up by the roots—much grain and many fruit trees were destroyed. In Dummerston, a young child was killed by the falling of a tree, as it was fleeing with its mother across a wood to the house of the nearest neighbor—scarcely a town in that vicinity, that has not suffered considerably by cattle being killed, buildings uprooted and blown down, and in some places the devastation is marked by acres of sturdy oaks being swept from their places by this terrible belom of destruction. The wind blew for about 15 minutes so to say, and then suddenly varied southwestwardly, lessening with redoubled violence. The effects of the tornado appear similar in Peterham, Westminster, and other towns in this county. The roads in many places were blocked up with fallen trees, some of which were two feet in diameter, and were broken off only a few feet from the ground, and many were violently removed many yards distance.

FOR THE DAILY ADVERTISER.
MR. CHILD'S.
I WAS not in town when the attack on my friend Henry was made by Verax, to whom the information required shall be given. The Negroes in question are certain bound for fourteen years; their ages, 16, 17, and 20. Their time expired, they will be 37, 31, and 34; proper periods of life to enjoy the blessings of freedom; and as the writings of their emancipation are deposited with the Benevolent Society, instituted for protection of liberated Negroes, there can be little room to imagine his pleasure will be necessary to accomplish it. Verax may be further gratified in the information, that two of them declared they did not wish to be free, but to stay with their master. Perhaps his "wondered dexterity" drew that unequivocal proof of their attachment to him. Fie, fie, Verax!—Rest assured there appears more ill-nature than candor or liberality in your anonymous publication.
August 29. VERITAS.
ACCOUNT OF WARREN HASTINGS, Esq.
He was born in the year 1730, and educated in Westminster School, where Doctor Nichols gave him the character of a good scholar. He was there a school-fellow of Mr. Colman.
In 1750, he was appointed a writer in the service of the East-India Company at Bengal, where he acquired by great assiduity a great knowledge of the Persian and Hindostan languages, which occasioned his being selected as a proper person to establish a factory in the interior parts of that place.
The plan however proved unsuccessful, and he was taken prisoner by Surajah Dowlah, who treated him with singular humanity and attention.
Soon after this event, Surajah Dowlah was dethroned and murdered, and Colonel, afterwards Lord Clive, appointed Mr. Hastings a resident Minister in the Court of Meer Jaffer, Surajah's successor, where he remained until he became a Member of the Administration in Bengal.
In 1765, which was fifteen years after his first appointment, he returned to England with his friend Vanittert, having made a tolerable fortune.
But this not being a sufficiency in his mind, and having a kind of affection for the pomp of the East, he had interest to procure, in 1769, the appointment of second in Council at Madras, where he remained until February 1772, when he returned to Bengal, the Directors having appointed him Governor of that settlement.
To the supreme Government of this place he was three successive times appointed.
The body of Directors determined twice to remove him, but they failed by the interest made with the Proprietary.
In 1776, another push was made to remove him, but the same influence still preserved him in his place.
On the 21st of May, 1782, the House of Commons voted that it was the duty of the Directors to displace him.
The Court of Directors debated the matter, and he was ordered to be recalled by the majority of 13 to 10.
This was contended against by the Proprietors on the 24th and 31st of the same month, when there was by ballot 428 for his continuance, and 75 against it, in consequence of which, the vote of recall was rescinded.
Those who thought he acted wrong in his Government, at last obtained his recall, and when he came home, so manifold and so great were the charges against him, that he was solemnly impeached at the Bar of the House of Commons, where he is now on his trial for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and from which, as the usual prayer for all culprits, is "God send him a good deliverance."
HIS Britannic Majesty's Packet SANDWICH, Captain HARRIS, will positively sail with the MAIL for Falmouth on the 4th September.
