Whatever may be the effects of the 
French revolution in other inftances, it 
has certainly produced a change in the 
ftyle and candace! of his holinefs, the pope, 
highly favourable to his apoftolic charac- 
tel 
On the sth of July, his holinefs dif- 
patched a letter, addreffed to all the faith- 
ee Catholics in France; in which he 
ells them, that the paftoral care which 
our Lord fefus Chrift has committed to 
him, impofes upon him the duty of en- 
lightening all the faichful, and of 
venting them from being mifled by’ 
the falfe glare of worldly pailofophy : 
*: For,’ fays his holinefs, “¢it has been 
declared tous, as to-the prophet Maiah, 
Cry, fpave not, lft up your voice tke a 
trumpet, tell my people their iniquit:es.”’ 
He proceeds to inform the faithful, that 
it is a received doétrine of the Catholic 
religion, that the eftablifament of gc- 
vernments is a work of divine wifdom, 
for the purpoie of Bie ene anarchy 
and confujion ; and concludes by folemnly 
eens the faithful in France, ta 
yield fubmiffion to their rulers with all 
tecir hearts, and with all their ftremgth, 
by which means they will render that 
obedience to God which is his due, and 
- convince their BO ver nots, that true reli- 
gion by no peeps authorizes the over- 
throw of the civil laws. , 
In the night of the 9th of September, 
a new tnfurrection took place in Paris, 
excited by the remains of the Jacobin 
faction, or the friends of Robefpicrre, 
and the adherents to the conftitution of 
1793. 
ing, about 800 infurgents affembled, in 
various parts of Paris, and marched to 
the Plains of Gr rencll le, where there was 
anencampment of between 2000 ana 3000 
men. dn this, fudden and unexpected 
affault, the fentinels were furprifed and 
maffacred, and the infurgents marched, 
into the camp, demanding “ the re-efta- 
blifament of the conttitation of 17 935 
and the overthrow of the. directory.” 
They were armed with piftols, fword- 
flicks, and forne mufquets, one were pro- 
vided with powder and ball for the alee 
which they expected to feize. “The dra-

At-eleven o’clock of that even- |

failants advance to the flard of arms, and 
the park of artillery, they 1 immediately 
ealled out, “toarms!”’ They mounted 
their horfes almoft naked, without tak- 
ing time to drefs chemiclves: In an in- 
ftant the alarm was {pread, the generale 
was beaten. 
The dragoons, commanded by an, of- 
ficer-of the name of Malo, fell upon the 
rebels, who in the beginning made a 
ftrong refiftance; they killed fome fol- 
diers, and wounded five, but were foon 
furrounded and purfued from all fides ; 
250 of thém were either killed or wound- 
ed, between go and roo were taken pri- 
Towers: and conducted to L’Ecole Mili- 
taire. “Phe troops behaved nobly on this 
occafion, and: rejected with horror the 
perfidious words.of the afailants. The 
directory, in the mean time, took every 
precaution to enfure the tranquillity oF 
Paris, and to render the defigns ef the 
infurgents abortive. The council “of 
five) ue lred empowered them to make 
domiciliary vifits during the day- tine, apd. 
the infurgents were ordered to be tried 
oe courts martial. 
rfeét tranquillity reigned at Paris om 
ae Aes and xi2th of September; and 
no apprehenficns were entertaincd of 
frefh attempts onthe part of the Jacc- 
bins, to difturb the public repofe. 
This infarreétion does not appear t@ 
have been formidable, either from the 
number of pertons concerned, or from 
the manner in which it was ceo and 
executed, and the conduét of the troops 
in queiling them, afforded a convincing 
proof both of the ftrength of the pre- 
fent government of France, and of the 
attachment of the majority of the peo- 
ple to it. 
On ‘the 6th. of September, Camus 
prefented to the council of five bun-
