Paris, April 23. About 
19000 livres were presented to 
the national afsembly, towards 
defraying the expence of the 
war by different members, re- 
quested by their acquaintances 
to be the medium of their pa- 
triotism. The members of the 
national afsembly come to the 
resolution of giving up one- 
third of their salary, during 
the months of May, June, and 
July, the whole will amount 
to 406,000 livres, (from hence 
» we learn that the pay of the 
members of the national af- 
_ sembly amounts to 4,872,000 
livres, or about L. 224,500 per 
annum. ) 
The next day, however, this 
decree was revoked. 
- The afsembly have decreed 
not to grant letters of marque, 
as there is not a war against 
individuals. 
M. la Fayette disapproves 
of the war thus hastily entered 
into ; asno man knows better the 
real strength of the French ar- 
my, many are deeply affected
