5th, That every mendicant or idler shall be confined.

Chaumette- "The junction of our armies was happily effected at La Vendee. The rebels are now shut up as in a rat trap ; if they should escape from thence, let us all exclaim, treason ! treason ! Let us all rise together, and call for the punishment of the traitors-we are threatened-the women of the town are turning devotees. They are paid by the priesthood. Not daring to carry on openly their infamous trade, they go into the churches and pray. They are anxious to create scenes of horror, and shed more blood in the streets of Paris, and renew with the priests St. Bartholomew's day. He enumerated all the misfortunes occasioned by fanaticism in La Vendee, where the Russians, with the rosary in hand, assassinated our brothers, and threw them into the fire."

Chaumette praised the people of Paris who have renounced idolatry, and only adore the Supreme Being ; but he was apprehensive lest the clergy should still ensnare the good citizens.

"The priests, (said he) whose altars are built on the human skulls, are capable of every crime; they make use of poison to satisfy their revenge; and if you do not take care, they will work miracles. They will poison the warmest patriots, burn the common's house and the national treasury, they will spring mines, renew a gunpowder plot ; and when their victims shall perish by fire, sword, and poison, then will cry out-It is heaven that punishes them."

He moved the council to declare, that if any commotion is stirred up in favour of fanaticism that all the clergy shall be imprisoned. (Applauded.) And considering that the people of Paris, have declared, that they acknowledge no other worship than that of reason and truth, the council resolved :

1st, That all the churches and temples of different religions and worship which are known to be in Paris shall be instantly shut.

2d, That whatever troubles may ensue in Paris, in consequence of religious motives, the priests and ministers of the different religions shall each be particularly responsible.

3d, That every person requiring the opening of a church, or temple, shall be put under arrest as a suspected person.

4th, That the revolutionary committee are invited to have a watchful eye over the clergy of every denomination.

5th, That there shall be addressed a petition to the Convention, to invite them to decree, that priests shall be excluded every public function and administration, as well as from the manufacture of arms of every kind.

6th, That the present resolution Shall be printed, posted up, and sent to the department of Paris, to the commons of its district, to the sections and popular societies of Paris.

From the Paris papers of the 23d, 24th, 25th, and 26th, of November.

The duchess of Orleans arrived at Paris on the 23d November, and was immediately committed to the Luxembourg

A great number of the persons who signed the famous petition of the 8000 and the 20,000, have been taken up.

The section of Quince Vingt, has requested that an altar should be erected, on which a perpetual fire should be kept by young virgins. Their request however has not been complied with.

In each section a column is to be elevated on which the following inscription is to be placed; The good man never dies :-He lives for ever in the recollection of his fellow citizens."

The council general of the municipality have passed a resolution, by which all commissaries of the sections refusing to assist in funeral processions shall be dismissed from their offices.

The flag to be carried in these processions is to be of three colours.

Laborde, the rich banker, has been taken up at his country house of Mereville, and is now on the road to Paris.

Danton whose influence appeared to be wavering during the continuance of his illness, was received with the most unbounded applause when he made his first appearance in the convention, on the 22d of November.

In the sitting of the Jacobins on the 22d, a letter was communicated, in which a plot was developed, that had been formed to surrender the port of Havre to the English.

Thomas Paine, of whose departure for America the most absurd reports have been circulated, is still at Paris-He seldom frequents the Convention.- When Danton made his first appearance on the 22d of November, he was accompanied by Thomas Paine.

The reason that the latter member of the convention has never been molested in consequence of his attachment to the Brissotine party, is, his supposed popularity in America, his work on the Rights of Man, and his entire ignorance of the French language, which would render it impossible for him to carry on any intrigues injurious to the unity and indivisibility of the republic.

General Lanorliere is on his trial before the Revolutionary Tribunal.
