INDULTVM FOR THS REDUCTION OF HOLIDAYS.
After a (tort preamble this paper proceeds as
follows :--

Having materially weighed and examined all
thefe things, it appears that it would be advanta-
geous to the good of Religion and of the State to
fix a certain number of fetes, as few as pofiible, to
be obferved throughout the whole territory of the
Republic, in fuch a manner, that all thofe who
are governed by the fame laws may be alto every
where fubjefl to the Lame difcipline; that the re-
duaion of thefe days should come to the relief of
a great number of perfons in their occupations,
and that the obfervance of the fetes retained may
become eafier.

In confequence, and at the fame time to com.
ply with the defire and demands of the Firft
Conful of the Republic, in that refped, his Hull-
nefs has enjoined us in our quality of his Legate a
/acre, to declare, in virtue of the plenitude of the
apollolic power, that the number of the days of
fetes, betides Sundays, [hall be reduced to the days
;.,Enntnei ;n ,h• table Awed at the bottom of this

ed as exempted, and /ball really be entirely freed,
not only from the obligation to hear mafs, and to
abflain from fervile labours, but alto from the obli-
gation of falling on the evenings preceding there
days. He defires, however, that no innovation
may be made in any church in the order and form
of the fervice and ceremonies which they were ac.
cuflomed to obferve on the fetes now fupprefred,
and on the evenings preceding them, but that
'every thing !ball be done in the fame manner as
before, except on the fete of Twelfth Day, Corpus
Chri(li Day, thofe of St. Peter and Paul, and
thole of the Saints Patrons of each diocefe and
each pariib, which (hall be.celebrated on the Sun-
day neareft to each fete.
In honour of the Holy Apofiles and Holy Mar-
tyrs, his Holinefs ordains, that in the recitation,
whether public or private, Of the canonial mars,
all thofe who are obliged to perform divine fervice,
fhall be bound on the folemnity of the Apoftles
St. Peter and St. Paul, to snake mention of all
the Huly Apoftles; and on the fete of St. Stephen,
the firft martyr, to make mention of all the Holy
Martyrs: the fame mention !hall be made alfo in
all the manes celebrated on that day.
His Holinefs orders alfo, that the anniverfary
of the dedication of all churches crated within
the territory of the Republic, fhall be celebrated
in all the churches of France on the Sunday im-
mediately following the octave of All Saints.
Though it might be proper to leave exifting the
obligation of hearing mall on the feftivals which
are fupprefred, his Hands, in order that he may
give new teßimonies of his condefcenfion towards
the French nation, is contented with exhorting
thofe chiefly who are not obliged to live by the
labour of their hands, not to negled to affift on
thofe days at the holy facrifice of the mafs.
In the laft place his Holinefs expels from the
religion and piety of the French, that the more
the number of the fetes and faft days are dimi.
nailed, the more they will obferve, with care, zeal,
and fervour, the (mall number of thofe which re.
main, continually calling to remen3brance that he
is unworthy of the name of Chriftian who does not
keep as be ought the commandments of Jasus
CHRIST and his Church ; for, as we are taught
by the Apale Sr. Joite. " Whoever joy, he know
GOD, and does not obferve hi, commandment:, is a bar,
and the truth is not in him."

The Fetes which (hall be celebrated in Femme,
betides Sundays, are :
The Nativity of our Saviour Jesus CHRIST.
Afcenfion Day.
The Allumption of the molt Beessen Vtactn.
The Fete of All Saints.
Given at Paris, in the houl of our refidence,

of here, and it is pretended that the EN,nom will

It is confirmed that the garrifon of Belgrade
having made a fortie fuffered themfelves to be fur-
priced into an ambufcade, by the Aga Komiaw,
and were cut to pieces. The City of Belgrade is
in the greattit confiernation, as the inhabitants
fear that the fon of the laft Pacha will join the
troops of Passwas Oct.ou, and may wreak his
vengeance on that unfortunate city, to revenge
the death of the Pacha, and the crimes committed
by the janiiTaries.

Duman, AUGUST 7.—The pleaions for this
part of the Empire are almoft at an end, and we
have to obferve with great pleafure, that very little
of ill-natured fpleen or political rancour were nfed
in any county—unanimity appeared prevalent,

conteß enfued, the honour, the truth, and jnitice
of each party were truly meritorious.
The counties, in general, have returned their
old Reprefentatives.
