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 IttPARtiA Me NT. * Friday , 23 d November, 1787. The Chambers being assembled at ten o’clock, the new fupplicatious, which ace to be presented to the King, to obtain the liber ty of the Duke of Orleans, and, that of the two Magistrates (L’Abbc Sebatie* and M.

The matter was taken into consi deration, and the deliberation referred to Thursday the 30th instant, ten o’clock in the morning. Afterwards a declaration was made against a printed paper, entituledj Report of the Ab be Tandeau. * The Abbe was alked, if he got his report printed, or if he had given it to any body, and to whom.

Cob Baner arrived here with dispatches from Prince Potemkin, con taining the important intelligence of a bloody engagement on the 30th of September, be tween the Turks and the Ruffians near Kin -1 *H fe “'\ '' rvi f YYVi I bum, when the Turks were entirely defeated, *L . account of this agreeable news there was I B *3^ ol,rt on Sunday, and after fPeiftn tjfes lung in presence of all the principal nobilify and all the Mini Hers from foreign Courts. «L' , W A R S A W, November 14. 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
