INTELLIGENCE from PARIS.
jflis MAJESTY’S SPEECH to PARLIA- •
MENT.
November Ip, 1787.
Gentlemen,
lAM come to tfiis Alterably to recall to
my Parliament those principles from which
it ought never to deviate; to bear what you
have to fay upon two great arts of administra
tion and legislation, which to me have appear
ed necessary; finally to reply to you upon the
representations made to me by the Chamber
Os Vacations, in favor of my Parliament of
Boirrdeaux. The principles which I mean to
recall t* your recollection, are a part of the
offence of the monarchy ; and I will not fuf
fer them to be unknown or changed; I had
no need of solicitation to afiemble the Nota
bles of my kingdom. I fliall never be afraid
pt being among my fubjeCts. A King of
France is never more happy than when he en
joys their love aud fidelity ; but ifis I only
who am to judge of the use and necessity of
ihefe assemblies, and I will not fuffer myfelf
to be indiscreetly importuned for that which
ought to be experted from my wisdom, and
the love I have for my people, whose interests
are inseparable from my own. The art of
hdminiftration which I propose to myfelf, is
an edirt, containing a creation of successive
Joans for five years. I wished to have no far
ther recourse to the refourcc of loans; but
order and oecohomy niuft have time to make
thorn effectual. Limited and well calculated
.loans will retard the operations of the former,
but they will uot prevent them. No new im
j>ofts will be eftabliffied, and my engagements
wifi be fulfilled. I will ever maintain by the
sioft constant and undivided plotediou, the
Jfeoiy religion in which I have the happiness to
be born, and I will not permit it to fuffer the
Jfeait diminution in my kingdom. But lam
of opinion that this fame religion commands
me not to lcavl a part of iny fubjerts deprived
of their natural rights, and what the state cf
society promises them. You will fee in my
answer upon the fubjedf Parliament of
to what a degree its condud is
reprehensible. My Parliaments ought to
reckon upon my affeCtion; but
they ought to merit tabmvin confining them
selves within the confided to their
execution by the Kings* thy predecOffors, be
ing careful not to depart from, nor refufc
them> and more particularly never to fail in
giving to my fubjeCts an example of fidelity ,
and fubmiffiou.. My feafs will
more fully communicate to you my inten
sions. •/<
* . After the exile of the Duke of Orleans, and
the imprisonment of the two Magiffrates, the
went to Versailles, and the firft
Fix fid cut thus addressed the King t
Sire,
Your Parliament is conje in obedience to,
your orders. It has this morning been in* ‘
formed at the opening of the fitting, that a
Prince of your augtift blood ha| incurred your
difpleafure,* and that two Counfrlloye of your
« Court are deprived of their liberty. Your
Parliament, in confternat jo% Joppli
catea your Majesty, to Prince
of your blood and to the two M,asiftfttes, the
liberty Which they have loft,; haying, in
presence, freely declared what their dutygnd
consciences dictated in a fitting, wherein your
Majesty had announced, that you came to take
the sense of the Assembly by a plurality of
fuffrages.
The King’s Answer.
. When I put away from my person a Prince
of my blood, my Parliament ought to believe,
that I have very strong reasons for so doing;
I havepuniftied two Magiftratcs, with whom
I ought to be diffatisfied

Notwithstanding th* many aflertions rela
tive to the capture of Kinburn by the Turks,
this intelligence is flill destitute of confirma
tion. Another account, more probable, dates,
that the Turks bad only got potfieffion of one
of the advanced works, but that the Ruffian
fleet arrived in time to drive them away with
considerable loss. After this the Ruffian fleet
began to bombard Oczakow, where (hey let
fire to several houses. General Suwarow is
dead of the wounds he received at Kinburn,;
A powerful body of our troops is
in the environs of Swaniez, being only fepa*
rated from Choczim by the Dnieper.
LONDON, December 19,
Extra# of a Utter from Bois le Due, Nov . 14,
“ Language can give but a feeble idea of
the ravages and disorders that have prevailed
here from Thursday the Bth to the following
Saturday. Drums were beating to
arms and guns firing, wi;th the mod lament
able cries and tumultuous shouts, which great
ly terrified the burghers., Vast numbers of
the soldiery ran in the utmost disorder through
the flreets with their bare fabres intent on
plunder. In sass, the bed houses in the town
were sacked, not excepting those of the Ma
gistrates, and all fufieied in a smaller or great
er degree. Tbe houses of the Stadtholderians
were not excepted from ravage ; the only
diftinftion made between them and the Pa
triots was, that the persons of the latter were
. violated, while the property only of the others
was in danger. This ungovernable tumult
continued till some cavalry were dispatched
by the Stadtholder, with orders to suppress
all disorder. They arrived about noon on
Saturday, and were obliged to fire on the
rioters, and kill some of them, before they
could redore tranquillity. On the following
day we were busily employed in leading ca|?3
with goods that had been carried out of the
houses of their refpettive owners, and put in
hiding places till they could be conveniently
carried away. In the gardens, The hedges,
and the walls, money and jewels were found,
which have been rtdored to their several pro
prietors whenever they could be afeerrained.
i But a considerable part, and that the mod va
luable of the property, has been carried off
by the rioters.”
By. an order of the Admiralty Board, all
the capital ffiips fitted during the late naval
preparations are now paying off preparatory
to their being laid up and put into ordinary.
The Grand Monarque was so enraged at
the dilobcdicncc of his Peers* frcfideatSj and
