Nation, in general, faid to be unanimous in fupporting the affembly, and offirs 
to raife three millions of foldiers in defence of the new conftitution. Situa- 
tion of the captive king and of the royal family in the palace, now tate pri- 
fan, of the Thuilleries. Ill effec? produced at home and abroad, and swore 
confequences likely to enfue, from the king’s captivity, when bis free fane- 
tion is necefjary to give validity to their laws, cuxfes great uneafiee/s in the 
national affembly. Scheme formed to obviate theje digiculties, by incucing the 
king to appear to come voluntarily to the national ajfembl), to dxlare bim- 
Self fully Jatisfied with all their proceedings, and that pe confiders bined 
as being at the head of the revolution. Liberal conduc? of the af ome 
refped to the civil lift. King notewithftanding firmly rejects all the 
Jfions ufed to induce him.to pay the defired wifit. Great diftreffes of the 
country. 20,000 people fed by charity at Lyons. 6,000 effates adwertized 
to be fold. Decretot’s noble manufaduries at Louviers nearly ruined. Riots 
at Verfailles. Some obfervations on the extracrdinary condud of that peo- 
ple through the courfe of the king’s troubles, Parifians become again tumul- 
tuous, and, without regard to the general famine, want to have the price 
of bread fixed at a lower rate than it could have been afforded in the moft 
plentiful feafons. Their rage increafed to the high pitch upon the ac- 
quittal of Bexenval by the chatelet. Form a plot fer forcing the prifon,

@ body of 1,100 of the mutineers at night, and makes 200 of them prifoners. 
Chatelet proceed to the trials of Lambefc, Broglic, and others of the pria- 
cipal refugees, for the real or fuppofed plot of the preceding month of Fuly. 
Are all acquitted, through the failure of any evidence to fupport the charge. 
Various confpiracies apprehended or J/poken of for the refcue of the king’s 
perfon. The fubjed of the king’s inftant death, as the affigned penalty for 
any attempt to his refcue, a matter of public converfation in all companies 
and among all ranks, without the fmalleft expreffion of horror, at ihe idea of 
fa deplorable a cataftrophe. King’s firmne/s at length gives way, and be 
fubmits to pay the propofed vifit to the national affembly, and to make a 
Speech nearly fimilar to that preferibed. Affairs of the clergy finally fettled, 
their property feixed, and affignats created. [107
