THE KING's PROCLAMATION.
Paris, October 15.

THE King has issued a proclamation, Setting forth, that lest the faithful inhabitants of his provinces should hear with concern the circumstances that have induced him to take up his residence at Paris ; he had thought it his duty to make known to them, that being informed of the march of the National Militia from Paris, and their desire to obtain the honor of serving as his guard, it would have been easier for him to go to any other place than Paris ; but that fearing such a resolution might be the cause of much trouble, and confiding in the sentiments which he had a right to expect from all his subjects without distinction, he had come to reside in Paris, where he received the most respectful testimonies of love and fidelity from the inhabitants of that good city. That he is certain they will never attempt, in any manner, to influence the free determination of their Sovereign ; and, from the midst of them, announces to all the inhabitants of his provinces, that when the National Assembly shall have terminated the grand work of restoring the public welfare, he will put in execution a plan, which he has long since formed, of visiting all his provinces, to inquire what good he can do in each, and to prove that they are all equally dear to him. That he flatters himself this declaration on his part, will engage all the inhabitants of his provinces to second the labours of the National Assembly, in order that France, under the protection of a happy Constitution, may enjoy that peace and tranquility, of which an unhappy division has so long deprived it.

This proclamation is dated October 9, and undersigned De Saint Priest.
