It is inconceivable how sanguine even yet the
Partizans of Royalty remain: the other day an
officer in the King's regiment affirmed, that in
two months, M. Mirabeau would not be in existence.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Feb. 3. Mr. Mirabeau, the President, seems to
unite the suffrages of all parties, by an exercise
of this office, marked by a severe equity, and a
dismissal to all personal predilections.
Feb. 4. After some local regulations, of small
importance, deferring consideration of the To-
bacco business, they circumscribed Paris, within
33 parishes.
Organization Of Juries.
The following articles were among those im-
portant in this great work.
The judges pronounced aloud their opinions
commencing with the youngest and finishing at
the president.
If they differ in the application of the law, the
mildest is preferred. If more than two opinions
divide the body, they call upon the Judges of the
district to compose their differences.
The text of the law is read previously upon
which judgment is pronounced. After sentence,
three days are allowed for the demand of cesa-
tion. If this be admitted, it must be founded
upon violation of forms, nullity in the instruc-
tion, in the judgment, or the application of the
law erroneously.
Such demands are to be decided within a
month after their reception.
It was observed, with some degree of reproach,
that so great a proportion of this Assembly should
be members of the law. The censure seems to
have been idle in the extreme; they are most
likely to frame a perfect constitution, whose stu-
dies have been confined to the legal limitation of
general and particular rights.

Event Details
Royalist officer in King's regiment claims Mirabeau will not exist in two months. On Feb. 3, Mirabeau as President unites parties with impartial equity. On Feb. 4, after minor regulations deferring tobacco business, Paris circumscribed to 33 parishes. Key jury reforms: judges voice opinions from youngest to president; mildest law preferred in differences, or district judges resolve if more than two opinions; law read before judgment; three days for cessation demand based on form violations, nullity, or erroneous law application, decided within a month. Remark on many lawyers in Assembly, defended as ideal for constitution.
