Paris, March 9.
A member of the Parisian national corps, has, at the head of the troops, given in a catalogue of the names of the citizens in arms, for which they received the compliments of the president, who expressed the pleasure he felt at receiving a list of the names of persons who had taken up arms for the defence of their national freedom.
M. de la Luzerne has written to the assembly, and requested them, in the name of the king, to explain themselves upon the subject of the American, African and Asiatic colonies, at least so far as is consistent with the instructions they are about to give on that subject. He has added an account of the actual situation of those colonies.
This question has been referred to the committee for colonial affairs.
The deputies of the people of Paris, headed by M. Bailly, the Mayor, have made report upon the state of such ecclesiastical houses as are to be put up for sale. Twenty seven of them are reckoned extremely valuable; and at the nearest and most probable estimation, about 200 millions of livres.
It is generally thought that the proceeds of these sales will contribute greatly towards re-establishing national credit.
