PARIS, AUGUST 14.

The Moeiteerr contains the following Ordonnance:

ORDONNANCE OF THE KING.
" Lou;., by the ,;race of Goo, King of France and Navarre,
to all to whom thew prc4enta Nitall come, greeting.
" The seal and firmness which our Coons and
Tribunals have lately manifested for the maintenance
of public order. has de:erved our approbation. But
our heart has been pained by the punishments awar-
ded by justice and the laws against trto many indivi-
duals, who, in different parts of the kingdom, have
been led into criminal disorders by the scarcity and
high price of the necessities of life. We feel it ne-
cessary not to confound these unfortunate persons
with the perverse men who have endeavoured in some
Places to instigate them to excesses, the infallible re.
suit of which is to aggravate their mis-ry and to in-
creasc the embarrassments of the State.
" Verik!ii the order of the seasons brings the wished.
for p-riod of harvest, and puts an end to the miseries
Of the year, we cannot better prove our gratitude for
the bounty of PitoVIOENCE, than by r.2storitig to their
families and employments n:en rather misled than
criminal. In extending to them the plenitude of our
clemeocy, we are desirous that th_y may be able to
share the Joe of our beloved subjects, and join their
prayers to tltose which we shalt son address to
IIEAVEN, for the prosperity of the State during that
-uccession of religious days, one of which, Already so
solemn, is rend.•red more particularly resp-ctable to
France by the vow of Louis XIII. while the other is
set apart by the Church for the celeb-ation of the sa-
cred memory of one of our august ancestors.
" For these reasons, oo the report of our Kteper of
tl e Seals, Minister Secretary of State for the Depart-
meet of Justice,
