LONDON, July 31.
From Banjancon we learn, that on the news
of M. Neckar’s recall, the inhabitants of
that large town, the feat of a Parliament*
agreed to teftify their joy by a public feaft,
when M. de Mefme, a Counfellor in the Pat
liament, offered his counkry feat, near Vafon,
for that purp About furry or fifty-of the
principal caucus affcuiuled there 5 anti'in the
piidft of the feftivity of the day, they were
all blown up into the'air, by means of fcvcrai
barrels of gunpowder, whith bad been pre
vioully placed in iheapartmeut under the fa*
loon, fur the above horrid purpose. Theex
plofion was heard for lcveral miles distant
from the tragical feene, aud they were all ei*
ther killed or bruised,
lu the mean time, the master of the house
had disappeared, and the enraged populace
flocked to the spot, and levelled the house to
the ground, as well as many country feats be*
longing to his friends or relations.
The National Assembly immediately ad
drefled the King, to give directions to the Am*
bafiadors at tbe fevcia* Courts, to get himde
tivei ed up, in whatever country he might take
icfuce, in order that he might be conveyed
to Paris, to receive the puhirtunent due to his
enormous crime.
It was reported and generally credited in
the Freuch noules last night, that Prinde Lairi
bafe had been pursued by tbe populace, and
burnt in 'his carriage.
Among the fluctuating reports of last night,
oue was, that the Count de Artois had quitted
Biulfels, and had solemnly eretted the Royal
Standa d, in French Flanders; that he was
attended by the Prince de'Coude, the Duke de
B-ui bon, and many other eminent person
ages ; and that the Marftjall de Bioglio had
j lined him with a final! body of forces which
he had collected, and was looked up to as a
; second in command, and the man who was
to model tfifeir forces, whieff were hourly in*
creating.
The ( oiftnwis further fairTto have publish
- ed a manilefto, in which he declares his in
ten ion to he solely directed to ihe public
pederf, and the refeuing h:s Majeftys perjotl
tom the hands of “ those Rebels . who now
detain him ”
1 ippo Suhan continues to augment and dis
cipline his Forces. This refllefs Prince is pre
paring a florin, which will soon burst on tht
. Carnatic."
, The dilTention which has sos a longtime
fublitled be ween Lord Cornwallis and Sir
Archibald Campbell, is the cause that the lat
ter resigned” a fit nation which he could not
honourably hold confutent with his own
feoli gs.
The officers of the East-India (hirs, in ge
neral, who have lately arrived from Bengal,
complained that'the trade there is entirely
ruined The articles of merchandize which
formerly ter- hed eighty and a hundred per
cent, they were glad to dispose of at five and
twenty per cent, under prime roft. This,
they lay, is occasioned hy the heavy taxes
which the Governor General has imposed up
on ihops, and upon every species of mer
chandize ; and ftilf mote by the vexatious fe
veriiy w th which those taxes are exatted.
The Enghfti met chants, harrafied and dis—
gusted at those proceedings, ate felling off
their goods, aud (hutting up their (hops, ad
faft as-poflible At the Tales in Bengal, arti
cles of Englifti inatHitattories are now fold
50 per cent", cheaper than in Britain.
H<? has also thought fit to enforce even
among the Hindoos, a judicial observation of'
the Sabbath day; in confequeuce of whicli
the-indolent natives have added to their nu
merous hotidays another of idleness.
