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.
