PROSPEC rus,
For publishing at C lambus, Ga a folitiral and
Miscellaneous jYewspaj/er, to be entitled the
DEMOCRAT.
Iu presenting to the punlic tits Pro e
pectus for anew paper at Columuus, the
subscriber does not deem it necessity or
expedient to go into a minute detail of his
political doctliues, or of Ins particular
views in regard to the various topics which
j now engage public attention. He pre
|‘ sutnes that his ch tractor us an editor is too
k well known in Georgia to allow hitu to
■ gain credit among any party, with mere
■ professions and empty promises. The
1 public Will be apt to look to the past in lor-
J tiling their estimate es the future, and by
j that erdoa! is lie willing to he tiled, in
'the numerous political discussions, which
the events of the day have called lortii, Ins
a opinions of men and things have been free
■fy expressed, and are doubtless familiar
■to many of those to whom ho now looks lor
patronage and support. Those who iiave
hitherto approved of Ins sentiments and
aeen satisfied with the manner iu which he
las urged them, will, lie trusts, still cou
:inuo their confidence, without Hie renew
il of pledges, or a formal confession of
"aiih.
In reference however to tho present
tate of pit ties, he begs leave to icmaik,
hut he trusts the absence of all political
ixcitoment, wi 1 prove propitious to the
laiise of truth; uni that now alt parties, by
vbatever names they may have been dis
inguished, will be permitted to labor for
he geiierat welfare, unobstructed by the
ealousy, or the rancor of by-gone feuds,
■rite undersigned will endeavor to extend
ipiill further this cordiality ot feeling, and to
the occasional symptoms of ex cerb
•*%itioii to whicti a warmly contested election
«nay give rise; and in this, and whatever
* Ise he may undertake for the purpose ol
? dvancing the prosperity of the -taie, he
ill count on tho cordial co operation of
very good citizen, however thr.y may
i ave previously differed on points ofpulii
j cal faith.
Attached to the doctrines of the Revolu
ion, and holding in high veneration the
aemory of those heroes aod sages by
thorn our liberties were achieved, and our
1 iresent admirable form of government os
-1 ablishetl, the subscriber will endeavor to
j Jmifest the sincerity of his professions, by
i xciting a feeling of attachment to the
I , uion, rnd encouraging an entire confi
si eoce in the instiiutious of our country,
j ie will inculcate the doctrine that it is
3 otter to bear a slight and temporaiy evil,
j gainst which we have a constitutional
.1 fimedy, than to hazard all for winch our
ethers fought and so many martyrs labor
i J and bled. He will not in any respect,
| verlook or disregard the rights or the m
-4 crests of his owu state; yet he mu>talvays
] icw particular rights and interests, as re
stively connected with others, and he will
ever consent to the sacrifice of a greater
i or a lesser good.

Paius, Aug. l 1830.
* * * I will now pioceed to give y„u
some account of the bloody, important and
interesting scenes ol winch I uuve been
witness tvulnn the las f„ ur days tins cap
** *l, wh 'ch will prove, or have proved
tha overthrow of powerful monarchy
supported by 240,000 bayonets, a noble
fleet, and by a well organized internal nod
exieinal system of administration. Yes
the unarmed, unorganized, unguided, pop
uGco of Paris have broken Hie sceptic of
Charles the Tenth—diiveu him from his
capital, and could 10-morrotv, if ihey chose
lead him to the scaffold ; but they display
as much moderation aiui wisdom to-day, as
they have resolution and heroic courage du
ring the lines past days, and are willing to
surrender their power mto the hands of a
Government, which, though tied down by
the bonds of a constitution, will be of the
form best adapted for them—a monarchal
one. But you want no speculations, you j
can make them yourself better than 1 can
—you want facts ;so here I give you a se
ries from my journal:
Monday, July 26. —Surprise and indig
niliou are on every countenance. The
mad king of France, in a voice of thunder,
has thrown down the gauntlet of defiance
to his people, and sworn to boa despot or
nothing. He has dissolved the chamber—
arbitrarily altered the laws of elections—
and suspended the libet ties of the press.
The news circulates rapidly, but cannot
roach the common people at once—meas
ures have been taken to prevent this—the
Munitiur, the only paper containing the
decrees, cannot be had at any price. Funds
have fallen—every one is agitated— too
much so to know how to act;—but mee
tings have been held—merchants of the
highest respectability have sworn they will
pay no taxes under tho present ordinances
measures taken to assemble the cham
bers in spite of the decree—and all the ed
itors of constitutional papers have pledged
diemselves to one another, to issuo their
papers as usual without taking out a privi
lege and in spite of the police In the
evening some conlusion—Pol.gnac’s house
was assailed—.lithe windows broken &c.
Tuesday, July 27.—noon.—Ministerial
papers exultiugiy say Paris dined and slept
as t usual yesterday! but the storm is fast
brewing ; the opposition journals came out
as usual iu strong and manly protestations,
and immediately tho police with an arutt-d
f.nce broke in to their houses, and carted
off tho necessary pans of the presses;
hey were hissed and pelied by the people,
•vho then began to assemble—and whoo
penly cry, down with the Bourbons! Vive
la charts ! —they go about pulling down ev
ery sign which bears the arms and lilies of
F ince, insulting and stoning the soldiery.
Evening —The storm of war has burst u
pon tile city—the people become more and
m<>re furious and loud in their protesta
tions, and display of discontent—the Min
isters doubled all the guards—cannon were
placed ou the boulevards—whole regiments
paraded in the squares—cavalry galloped
up and down the streets ; but could not daunt
the people—tfiery pressed It rd upon them—
the soldiers fired-blood lias been she . I
hive seen the lancets charge the mob—bo
dies of citizens weltering iu their blood, and
young men leaning over the bodies, and
wo: king themselves up into a spirit ol lury
and vmgeauce which cannot be quenched,
but hi a sea of blood. Tile cry of to arms!
to arms! is nbioad—the tocsin tolls its dis
mal peal; the people begin to rush unarm
upon the soldiery, or assail them with clubs;
the match is in the hand of the cannouneer
—ihe infantry are ready to pour in their
voliey—tho horseman’s heel is ready to
pri k his steed into a charge upon the mfu
liated crowd, who threaten then.—it will be
a hioody night to ui' ht, and a bloodier day
to-niorruw
Wednesday, July 28.—There has been
fierce tug, and considerable blood shed
ttsi night: musketry rattled—the troops
parade the streets, filing upon all they
meet—they clear oue place, and as soon as
they are gone, it is filled again—they aie
fired upon from the windows; from the
corners of the streets —from the house lops
—there is a general cal' “to arms ’ The
national mililtia is assembling—all is tumult
the Polytechnique school is in revolt—i*s
brave young members aro leading the un
disciplined mob. Much confusion and ter
ror reigns—tile people are every where at

and let them both backward into the dirt.
But no other shops Inve been touched ; no
pillage committed • no unnecessary vio

been taken or surrendered, have been
kindly troated ; part of the soldiers have
refused to fire ; the rest are tired of killing
their countrymen, and knocked up with
fatigue. The Swiss and the Royal Guards
will, however, be steady to ihe last.
I kursday, July 29 Tho night has been
a dreadtul oue ; .lie citizens, more numer
ous thau evar, more bold and unremitting
in their attacks, have forced the soldieiy io
shelter themselves in the housos or else
where; the lattei, though encouraged by
the praise, the largesses and the promises
ui the King, seemed disheartened ; the
mordl influence of their situation must be
considerable: a whole undivided mass of
their countrymen present to them tho band
of friendsnip, calliug them brothers if they
accept it, holding ready the sword of ven
geance if they refuse it ; then their physi
cal force is almost exhausted ; they liave
been three days and thee nights on duty,
their feet are swollen, their tongues parch
ed, and their resolution gone ; many have
laid down their arms. But the tables are
turned; the people assailed and driven
yesterday, are this morning the assailants
and victors ; cheifs have been appAnted,
the glorious old Lafayette is at the head of
the Provincial government; I followed
the veteran to his nead quarters, and shou
ted with enthusiastic thousands, vivo La
fayette, vive le Sauveur do duex mondes.
10 o'clock —The people are rapidly car
rying every post ; the troops retreat in con
fusion ; enthusiasm is at its height ; the
most determined and briliant valour is dis
played ; they have carried tho Palace of
the Tuilleries.
Noon.— The people are vic*orious; two
regiments are firing off their muskets in the
air under my windows, and shaking hands
with ihe people, who kiss and hug them,
and run to bring them food and driuk ; nev
er was such noble courage, such touching
generosity , the Parisians are covering
themselvs with glory. I have just come
from witnessing the devoted and laudable
bravery of the Swiss troops; driven to the
worst extremity ; these faithful fellows have
shut themselves up in the upper stories of
some houses aod are filing their last car
tridges from the windows, while the enthu
siastic and not less brave citizens assail them
from the streets, from the opposite win
dows aod from every point whence their
muskets will carry. All Paris is a bat le
field ; in every street is a bulwark, from
every window flashes a musket, from every
house top ram down pavement stones on
the devoted and yet obedient soldiery of
the King.—They must yield however, or
tho momently increasing tide of popular
furv will overwhelm and crush them
Evening. —Tho day is gained—the peo
. plo are masters bf the Capital ; tho sup
posed blind and furious mob show as much
, discretion and good conduct, ns they have
| done of bravery. Too Provisional Gov
|ernment is heard and obeyed. The re
port is circulated, I think with the des<|n
meio'y of keeping ihcm on the alert, (hat
10,000 troops will march on Paris this
night. Every where you see an eagerness
to have leaders ; a distrust prevails among
the people of themselves. All tho furni
- turc of the pallace has been destroyed ; but
nothing pillaged ; some thieves have been
•• instantly, shot. There is no cry but “Vive
la Chattel’ Pntroles are established eve
ry where; they are collecting the dead,
and most soothingly attending the wound
ed ; many who look like sorry canaille
behave most respectably ; many who dared
not show their noses m the streets yester
day, no.v bluster and (loutish long words.
Tho fact i*», the lower class of people
no, not the canaille, hut the <1 *ss of work

tho bodies were headless, aod mutilated ;
there were also waggons loaded with the
bodies of the soldiers which were tiirovvu in
heaps, from which stuck out arms, and
heads, and legs, in all directions ; who can
have an idea of war from books ? Now
that fight is done, and danger gone, begin
to pop out the aspirant for power, the free
gentry ; ihe civil intrigues ; not an inch of
nose did they show yesterday ; now they,
cry “how we thrashed themhuw?” “Vive
la Charte” iiktlie prevailing cry ; ihe chiefs,
and they say L ifayette at their head, wish
for republicaism. Ido uot believe it, for
every sober enlightened patriot sees tho
necessity of ajregal government, aud names
the Duke of Orleans as the man for (he
crown; limited by the Charter. Some,
but a few and feeble, accorded V ive Young
Napoleon ; the mob ciy no Bourbons, none
that tiave Bourbon bluod. God grant the
precious moment may not be lost; that the
Provincial Government may show true pat
riotism aud call Orleans ; it is a critical
moment; oh I that the blood which is yet
unwashed from the pavement, may uot
have hern shed there iu vain, or cause
more to be shedding of more. Evening
France is saved from the yoke of a des
potic monarchy, and tho worso yoke of a
despotic mobocracy— the Provincial gov
ernment liave named Orleans, Generalissi
mo ano Regent.

have ouly to add, that to-day tfie perfect
tranquility of the capital seems to ensure

day after to-morrow. Tile King’s flight
has been intercepted ; he has turned back,
and is, it is said, at Versailles, woe, not
to him in person, bui to his iVlmisters.
The French /{evolution. —Tne foreign
arrivals of Monday, bringing intelligence la
ter by a few days, from the theatre ol the.
grand drama of liberty now enacting in
France, has much interrupted the review of
the state of dffiirs in that couutry, at tins in
teresting crisis, which we had commenced.
But as every thing of importance furnished
by foreign papers and correspondents, has
been disposed of, the cursoy sp|culations
we had proposed are now resumed.
“ France has not spokeu, but only a fac
tion,'’ was the language of the ministerial
presses,after the resul: of the elections had
been ascertained. Trie king was made to be
lieve that intrigue, corruption, uud a liceu
tious press, had combined to reiu.n him a
legislature whose criminal ambition and
thirst for revenge would prompt them mo
ver urn the throue and the altar, and inllicl
upon the country all the evils and disorders
of the most li ightful anarchy, sooner than
leave him in the unmolested exercise of his
prerogative, in the selection of his own min
isters. Hence it was determined that the
nation should be made to speak over again,
but wiih fewer voices, and in a more sub
dued tone. And hence, again, the decree of
the 2jtb,dissolving Chambers not yet con
vcned-.nuzzling the press-,and disfranchis
ing a majoiity of the tdcclois already very
limited in numbers. That open rupture must
soon take place between the King mid the
popular branch of the Chambers, all men of
discernment had for months perceived.—
But ii was yet supposed by the majority,
ih it by means ol concession and compro
mise, the crisis might, yet be rcnf!rtd com
paratively remote. True, the M.nmeis had
semiofficially declared, through the Muni
tcur, that the King cuuld nut yield. B n
it was not forgotten that both Ins majesty,
and Ilia immediate piedetessor, had made
concessions, and *h<? same might he done
again. At all events,we have no idea that
a civil war was immediately cohieiWfiUted,
or bolievod to be vtry near, except by a
few, even at so late a period as the 23 1 of
july. On the 24 h however, llieie were
some dark giving out of strong mcaiuies
in contemplation ; a coup d'Flat, as it was
vailed ; and the apprehension of evil was
heightened by the appointment cl the !)i 1.0
of lt igusa to the military command < f the
department, and some other military piep
erations Bui these precautionary meas
ures were supposed to be taken with a view
to another dissolution, should the Chambers

this paper that ihey must be fresh in every
readei's remembrance. Si.tfico it, tl on to
s.y, that on Friday the royal guaids had
been vanquished ilk, die king had ceased to
reign. The evil counsellors who had in
volved their master in ruin perceiving that
there was do longer any hope fur them,fi
nally laid down their portfolios ut the foot
of the throne they iwd destroyed,and t>e
wr etc hod sovereign himself' was forced to

supposed himself sitting securely upon a
stable throne, tor the dofeuce ol which half
» million of bayonets would bristle in the
air at a signal found himself compelled to
solicit a convoy ol safety, iu a ti.gut—ho
knew not wtmlier !
To us, the conduct of the king and his min
isters, their last proceedings, isutteily mex
pltcable. The events have shown that the
reigning dynasty had iu fact, no strength a
mong the people—-that tho nation was life
fir a revolt, and yet uot the slightest suspi
cion of this feeling appears to have been en
tenanted by Ihe infatuated prince and ins
advigets. - Su«.h ignorance seems pciloci y
unaccountable Can it be possible that fit,
teon )ears residence in France since the
restoration, has not euablcd the B mrbous
to perceive, that the French people now,
aro very different fiotn what they were in
the reign of Lou s XV I H ive they indeed

and, in a more m ilked manner Mill, in their
situation V —Have they in so many years
been uuuble to discover that “jibey aie no
longer a frivolous, but a deeply i< fljciing
people, and as impatient of illegal restraint
as they were formerly proud of their chains,
which they wore as gaily as tho’ they w< ie
distinctions of honoi 1” Such truly would
seemto bo the fact aud dearly lias tile king
answered for his ignorance.
Thus far—that is to say timing the first ten
days of the insiniectiou —it appears to have
Lecn conduct! and with gieat modem lion, and
a total absence of that savage bleod-ihusti
ness and revugefnl cruel y, whirh marked
tho horrid butcheries of tin) revolution
which look place in the same pi ce holy
yeais ago. The letter u riteis from Paris,
moreover, an I <lie 1> nislt jourualisi, speak
as though the contest is aheady over, the
fate of the reigning family inevtrsibiy
sealed The impression, likewise, was
