In the fitting or the 23d of Novem

,a loan of 3 per cent, and approved of the
Jfufpcnlion of National Domains until
■ the iirfi Fra rial.
The proposition, that the council be
§ revok'd into a general committee,
I brought on very violent objections
land debates. “How long is this gen
rferal committee to lafi ? (exciaimed Gen-
I iijjSeaux) The public experts with the
I litmofi anxiety a refoiution, on which
k depends the welfare of us all.” Vio-

Gironeft proposed the immediate falc
of all the furniture, merchandize, and
other effects belonging to the nation,
| ahd not receflary for the public for vice.
Adjourned for future confide ration.
The council came to a refoiution, that
a committee, composed of five members,
thall ivt appointed, and to make a re
port on the sums which accrue to the
natic ilrom the fueceiTors of emigrants.
The amount of these funis is Hated to
J?e 20co millions.
In the fitting of the 29th the coun

Erumaire may be applied to all persons
confined in the revolted Departments,,

Robberies are iucreafing at’Tnris in

robbers it rip whole houses and fiiops.
T he greateit warehouse of broad cloths
m this city, and a watchmakers shop,
were lately broke open, and the thieves
got dear off with every article they
contained. Bread fells at 60 livres a
pound, and even at that enormous price
it is extremely difficult to get ahy, iince
the markets have been pillaged Ly the
mob. The distributions of bread in
the fe&ions are now only made every
second day.
