Gazette Of The United States

LONDON, Sept. 11.

The letters received yesterday from persons of the best information and authority in Paris give us the strongest reason to believe that a civil insurrection is at no great distance. The executive government has lost its energy—the legislative power is ineffectual, from the party disputes that prevail among the members of it—and the rabble seem only to watch a favorable moment, to attempt the lives of several of the most distinguished public characters.

Some letters indeed were received yesterday, dated after the dispatch of the mail, which assert that a riot had began, and that the National guards had been repulsed, but we have not learnt the particulars of the affair, in such a manner as to be able to report them correctly. But the fermentation was general.

The cry of the mob is, "cut off the heads of the Ministers in general." It is expected that they will all resign.

The public mind is much divided on the grand plan of paying off the debt with paper money. This floating stock amounts to 2 milliards, or 80 millions sterling.

It is extremely probable that M. Necker is no longer Minister of Finances in France. In their deranged state, it will be an arduous task to reduce them to order. We doubt not there will be many candidates for the office, but to find one of experience and abilities fit to succeed M. Necker, is, perhaps beyond the reach of the anticipating wisdom of the National Assembly.

The press still continues with unabated activity: two additional tenders have been employed in that service on the River Thames, since Tuesday last.
