PARIS, FEBRUARY 10.
Report of the Military Committee.
This report is ordered to be printed—the principal articles contained in it are as follow.
The King of Frenchmen is the Supreme Chief of the military forces by land and by sea.
No military man can be broken or dismissed from his employment without a previous trial. "That no law or ordinance whatever shall be established under any pretext whatever, which shall tend to exclude any citizen from holding a military rank.—" That every military man who shall retire after six years service, shall be entitled to the privileges of an active citizen."
The report further orders, that the King should be requested immediately to favour the Assembly with his ideas concerning the organization of the army, that it might then deliberate on the several objects which concern the legislative power.
FEBRUARY 13.
The King, accompanied by the Queen and the Dauphin, went yesterday, the 12th, to visit the hospital of the Enfans-trouves. His Majesty examined the establishment with regard to its most minute economy, and appeared much pleased with its regulation. A crowd of people followed the carriage—the streets thro which it passed re-echoed with the cries of VIVE LE ROI! VIVE LA REINE! VIVE LE DAUPHIN! and satisfaction was painted on the faces of their Majesties.
The Commons of Paris have made an order that the King's speech in the National Assembly shall be engraved under his bust in their hall.
PARIS, February 9.
The King has at least obtained one part of his object, in going to the National Assembly on the 4th inst. for the people seem so well satisfied of his Majesty's good intentions, that he is to be permitted to go to his hunting seat at Rambouillet for a few days. It is further mentioned that a motion is shortly to be made in the Assembly concerning the National guards, having no further occasion for their services.
In the reduction of expences, that of foreign Embassies is to be considerably curtailed.
The last stone of the Bastille's dungeons was presented on Saturday last to the National Assembly, by the workmen who demolished those infernal regions.
