of the Republic, pafses to the 
order of the day, on the accu- 
sation of Roberspierre by Lou- 
vet.” 
A jealousy seems to prevail 
very geueraily in France a- 
‘gainst the Parisians, who, they 
suppose, have a desire to af- 
sume the powers of govern- 
ment to themselves, of which 
the following facts are suffici- 
ent documents ; 
Oct. 25. Addrefses were pre 
sented from the Society of the 
Friends of Liberty and Equa- 
lity of the city of Auxerre, the 
Commons of Brive, and the 
Administrators of the district 
of Liseux, complaining of the 
inordinate power afsumed by 
the Parisians, and requesting 
that a guard from the Eighty- 
three Departments might be 
appointed for the protection of 
the Convention. 
Nov. 5. Bithop Fauchet read 
on this subject a memorial, 
which paints the deplorable 
state of the French nation at 
present : 
‘¢ Since the roth of August,” 
said the bifhop, “‘ a kind of re- 
gency, like those of Algiers 
and ‘Tripoli, has been establi- 
fhed at Paris. The petty horde 
of daring villains sent emifsaries 
androbbers intothe Departments 
to plunder them, and give them 
up to all the horrors of anarchy. 
At Sens, they succeeded in 
their perfidious designs ;--they 
preached up murder, and the 
blood of the citizens was fhed ; 
historical chroméle. 
they preached up contemp#. 
of constituted authorities, and 
the magistrates ceased to have | 
power ;—-they preached up ha- 
tred of the National Afsembly 
and the Executive Council, 
from whom they derived their 
power, and the Commons of 
Paris were proclaimed at Sens 
the only power of the Republic. 
At Villencuve-sur-Yonne, they 
preached up the sovereignty of 
every individual, in conse- 
quence of which a Justice of 
the Peace was deposed, and a. 
beautiful public building de- 
stroyed. At Joigni they im- 
prisoned the President of the 
district, and deprived all the 
members of the Directory of 
their offices. At Auxerre they 
establifhed a Committee of 
Safety, like that of the Com- 
mons of Paris. They distri- 
buted, in great profusion, co- 
pies of a journal filled with a- 
buse against the National Con- 
vention. One of the indfvi- 
duals who exercised this. Sove- 
reignity, is named Dojon, whom. 
the Cemmittee of Safety had 
ordered to be arrested, because: 
he was accused of having fa- — 
voured the escape of the e7-de- 
vant Prince de Poix, and of — 
|having stolen a port folio be- | 
longing to the State, contain- © 
ing valuable effects. The ci- — 
tizens have, however, begun to 
treat these emifsaries as they 
|deserve, and-several of them 
have been arrested in the de- 
|partment of la Haute-Saone.”
