PARIS, Sept. 13.

The transported members were to have met yesterday at Orleans. They travel with every possible comfort, except that of a good carriage; their carriage is the same constructed for the victims of Vendome, by the honest gens, who took no great care to make it an easy one. They are moreover allowed every liberty compatible with their situation, even that of writing, which has been somewhat restrained, as there has been some reason to think they endeavoured to make an ill use of it. Orders have been given to have them well treated. However some of their friends have spread a report that they are not allowed to come out of the carriage, even for the necessities of nature, which they are obliged to satisfy by means of a hole. Upon this the aristocracy of the small towns began to set up a cry, and curse the cruelty of the republicans. This report has produced some impression in many places; however, the people in general take very little concern in their fate.
