It was alio decreed, " That 

 notwithftanding the fuppref-

September 14. 



The King, this d?.y at 12 

 o'clock, repiiCcd to the Natio- 

 nal Afiembly, and ptifonally 

 conSrmcd his acceptance of 

 the conftitution. The hall, and 

 all the avenues to it, through 

 which the King paffed, were 

 crowded with people, who ge- 

 nerally exprefled the mod live- 

 ly exultation. His Majefty 

 feemed very fenfibly aflfcdt J by 

 the acclamations of the crowd. 



The ceremony was conduct- 

 ed with much regularity and 

 honour, and the efftift was 

 grand and impreflive. A large 



detachment ofNational Guards 

 efcorted the King, and the pro- 

 cedion moved between two 

 lines of the fame troops. His 

 acceptance before the AlTem- 

 bly was announced by a gene- 

 rat difcharge from the artillery 

 of the National Guards. 



The King did not appear in 

 the car don bleu. 



The King, who is now as po- 

 pular as a lew weeks fincc favv 

 him contemned, gave new mat- 

 ter to feed V-.e :)hrenzy of ap*' 

 plaufe, by refuting to wear the 

 blue ribband W'x-n ioiv.z to ad- 

 drefs the Afiembly. He faid, 

 he did not wilh for any exter- 

 nal m.ark, by which he might le 

 d'jUngiaJhed from other citizens, 

 as he confidered himfelf as ihe 

 fame with the people, and the 

 firil fundlionary of the State. 

 His rcjeiftion of this oraameiit 

 bas been of ufe to his caufe ; 

 when the minds of men are in 

 a ftate of fermentation, obje«fts, 

 trifling in themfelves, are fre- 

 quently important in their con- 

 iequences, 



Monfieur,the King's brother,' 

 was, on the 25th of Auguft, 

 appointed regent of France, 

 with the unanimous confent of 

 all the emigrants, who cele- 

 brated, on that day, the fealt 

 of StLouisat Coblentz. They 

 all fwore, at tlie fame time, to. 

 Ihed the lalt drop of their 

 blood in the caufe of the King. 



The Univerfity of Paris have 

 fcnt a requifition to the Uni- 

 vtrlities of Oxford and Cam- 

 bridge, for the purpofc of ob- 

 taining a copy of the ftatutes 

 and regulations upon which 

 thofe learned feminaries ars 

 founded and conduiiteJ.
