Gazette Of The United States

PARIS, August 6.

It is affirmed, that all the French Princes, except M. Conde, who has refused, have done homage to the new Emperor of Alsace and Lorraine. M. Desmottes, Adjutant-General to M. la Fayette, is dead of the wounds which were civically inflicted on him on the Terrace des Feuillans, a few weeks ago. M. Duhamel was buried on Tuesday. His corpse was attended by great multitudes of people. One would imagine that Dillon, Duhamel, &c. &c. were purposely butchered with a view to have a fine funeral procession, solemn dirges, a noble catafalque, &c. &c. M. Bonnecarrere is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Philadelphia. The Jacobins are now strongly divided. M. Brissot, Inard, and others, want to form a club of re-union; they have been denounced as the causes of the war, and it is under consideration whether Brissot shall not be publicly expelled. The Poetaster Chinier is the author of the elegant address delivered by Mr. Petion at the bar of the august Diet, as containing the sentiments of the people at Paris; and yet this address is reprobated by all the citizens, a few ragamuffins, ruffians, and adventurers only excepted. The unfortunate city of Arles, as well as Marseilles and others, is again a prey to the demon of civil discord. The Decree of the district of Maucouncil is to be annulled by sound of trumpets, and it is discountenanced by every one. The vote of the 48 sections of Paris, relative to the King's deposition, must have a prodigious influence upon the opinions of the rest of the kingdom: It is the wish, however, of the best friends of liberty that the Assembly may adjourn the consideration of this great and momentous question until the close of the present war. Were they to acquiesce in the wishes of the capital, Luckner and La Fayette would use all their interest with the army to protect the person and dignity of the King, and there is not a single aide-de-camp in their suite, or general officer under them, but would most readily join them in any scheme for his deliverance. The conduct of the Austrians at Bavay and Orchies, has been equally impolitic and inhuman. Instead of conciliating the French citizens by mildness, they have irritated them by the most violent and atrocious acts of cruelty. The Hussars, like the Cossacks, do not receive any pay; and are therefore under the absolute necessity of subsisting themselves upon plunder. A coinage of false Louis d'Ors has been just discovered at Romainville. The Prince de Conde has received the command of the advanced guard of French emigrants. The Comte d'Artois, and M. de Broglio, have been appointed by the Duke of Brunswick to lead the main body. M. la Fayette is encamped between Villers le Roud and Marville. M. Dillon is encamped at Maulde. The Austrians still continue to desert to him in large bodies. The workmen belonging to M. Pankoucke's Printing-Office in Paris, have fitted out five Volunteers for the Frontiers, to whom they allow a certain daily sum over and above their pay. The gardens of the Tuilleries are still paraded off with patriotic ribbons. The following sentence was attached to one of them yesterday: "La cocarde du Peuple tient un ruban; La couronne du Roi tient a un fil." M. St. Clair commands the emigrant regiment of the same name. The Marquis de Pombal is to lead a legion of Russian chasseurs into the field. M. Calonne is said to be in disgrace with the French Princes. After M. Petion had delivered his speech to the National Assembly on Friday last, M. Insard also spoke on the same subject as well as he could, and his sentiments perfectly accorded with those of the virtuous Petion. He called M. Champion, whom he denounced to the Assembly, and to the whole nation, an execrable fellow, for having said that he, Insard, was sold to the English—"Wretch!" cried he, "Dissect my heart, and see whether it be English!"

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, August 5.

One of the sections of Paris, which goes by the name of Mirabeau, announced to day a patriotic offering of 38 volunteers, equipped by them for the defence of the country against its invaders. These men furnished by their neighbours, some giving them a coat, others a sword, others a fusil, &c. marched across the hall with much applause, and their names read aloud, were inserted in the proces verbal. It is by these kind of actions that the sections may serve their country with honor to themselves, and not by insulting the law by rebellious arrets.
