And be ever famous

For its piety, its knowledge, and its riches, Which, forgetful of its rival enmity, Like a fond parent,

Received kindly into its hofpitable bosom, Protected eagerly, maintained liberally, By a voluntary fubfcription of all ranks of men,

And cherished tenderly,

No inconfiderable part of the Gallic Clergy,
Driven out of their native country,
And toffed about by sea and land!
May the excellent British Senator,
JOHN WILMOT,
Enjoy conftant happiness!
May happinefs attend alfo
Thofe choice and upright men,
Who are, together with him,
The prudent difpenfers
Of the public munificence!
Thus the Gallic Clergy,

Scattered throughout the British Empire,

Eagerly implores the Supreme Governor of all things.

Thus alfo do those of the fame Clergy Continually pray, proftrate before their altars, Who, by fingular favour, live collected in this Royal House.

They have caused to be engraven This fall pledge of their gratitude, for a perpetual memorial, in the year of our Lord 1793, and in the thirty-third year of the reign of George the Third.

This will remain much deeper engraven on our hearts than on this Marble.

To the peace and happiness
of the Chriftian World!
That the Clergy of France,
Refiding, by the Royal bounty of

His Britannic Majesty,

or wherefo'er elfe difpers'd
throughout Great Britain;
And who,

For the firm fupport
Of their faith and religion,
Have fuffered the calamities
Of perfecution and exile,
May profperously return,
By the affiftance of the Moft High,
To the free enjoyment
Of their religion and their homes,
Or otherwife receive,
From the pious munificence

Of the British Nation,
A fecure and permanent abode,
Is the humble and fervent prayer
to Almighty God
of JOHN WILMOT
and of his Fellow Citizens!

Like body-guards, fplendor, wealth, and plenty, Crowd for employment-but pardon, gentles all,

The flat unpenfion'd Laureat that hath dar'd
In these unworthy numbers to bring forth
So great an object: can this paper hold
The vafty theme of London ? may we crain
Into the Poet's corner the Champion
That did affright the very air in Cheanfide
With open mouth gaping on his bright ar
mour?
[fhow;
O pardon-tis your thoughts muft deck our
Carry it here, and there; hurrying thro'
ftreets;

Into a thousand parts divide one man ;
And make imaginary puittance.

First, entertain conjecture of the toil,
When countiefs turbots and unnumber'd foies
Fill the wide kitchens of eac livery hall:
From pot to fpit, to kettie, stew, and pan,
The bufy hum of greafy fcullions founds,
That the fix'd beadles do almost perceive
The feeret dainties of each other's watch:
Fire arifwers fire, and thro' their paly flames
Each table fees the other's bill of fare:
Cook threatens cock in high and fawey vaunt
Of rare and rew-made difhes! confectioners
(Both paftry-cooks and fruiterers in league)
With candied art their rivets clofing up
Give pleasing notice of a rich defiert.

Proud of their numbers, and elate in fpirits,
The confident and overlufty 'prentices
Do chide from Cripplegate the drowsy morn
That limps fo tedioufly away-but, hark!
Bow-bells ring out their peal; St. Bride's the
fame,

And nine o'clock, St. Paul's doth heavy toll,
Now with imagin'd speed our fwift fcene
In motion of no lefs celerity
[flies
Than fairy-magic: suppose that you have seen
The new-appointed Mayor at Queen-stairs
Embark his royalty: his own company
Withfilkenftreamers the youngga zerspleafing,
Painted with different fancies; have beheld
Upon the golden galleries music playing,
And the horns echo, which do take the lead
Of other founds: now view the city-barge
Draw its huge bottom thro' the furrow'd

Thames,

Breafting the adverfe forge: O do but think
You ftand in Temple-gardens, and behold
London herself, on her proud ftream afloat,
For fo appears this fleet of Magistracy
Holding due courfe to Westminster: follow!
Follow with foullers, oars, and skiffs, who can,
And leave your Spital-fields, as midnight

[men:
Guarded with grandfires, babies, and old wo-
For who is he, whofe pocket's but enrich'd
With one appearing tefter, will not follow
Thefe choice and well-row'd companies by
water?

Now bear we the Lord-Mayor Toward th' Exchequer-land him,—and, being fworn,

Heave him away upon the applause of thou fands

Adown the ftreani;-behold the AdelphiTM buildings

Pale in the Strand with men, their wives and hoys;

Whofe shouts and claps out-voice the thrillmouth'd trumpet,

Which, like a mighty Whiffler, clears the
way,
[bridge:
That you may fee him land at Black-friers'
Where the Sheriffs defire him to have borne
The mate and fword before him thro'the city,
(Giving full trophy, fignal and oftent :)
For, London doth pour out her citizens"
In beft fort, like the fenators of Rome,
Whilft the plebeians, fwarming at their heels,
Crowd to conduct their much-lov❜d Prætor
home.

And now to Guildhall do we shift the scene.
Here Common-Council in their mazarine
Sit patiently, and inly ruminate {gowns
The dinner's luxory; invited Courtiers,
Garter invefted Peers, and gave Judges,
Prefent them to the gazing company
So many honour'd guefts: and now behold
The Lord Mayor entering with the Alder-

men:

From fide to fide he greets them all in turn,
Bids them fair welcome with a gracious smile,
And calls them brothers, friends, and citizens;
Upon his placid face there is no note
How the day's honour hath fatigued him,
But freshly looks, and overbears attaint
With cheerful femblance, and fweet courtesy;
And every guest, beholding dinner serv'd up,
Plucks comfort from the noble sumptuous

banquet,

A largefs univerfal!-Now, laft, behold
A little touch of revels in the night,
And fo our fcene muft to the ball room fly;
Where, (O for a ticket!) look to behold
"Earth-treading ftars," "lights that mislead
the morn,"

Right well difpos'd in dance harmonious,
To close the honors of this happy day.

Now the choice gallant youth are all on fire, And filken dalliance from the wardrobe hies; Now thrive perfumers, and the fashion's thought

Reigns folely in the breaft of every man.
Imperial Beauty holds her court this night,
In all her pomp, and graceful charms of drefs;
Tranfporting looks; and heart-fubduing (mile;
And fee that fair accomplish'd excellence,
Catharine his daughter! whom the Mayor
prefents
[honour;

To England's glorions Statesman, his country's
And with the lovely maid for dowry gives
Some petty Dukedoms frombis hoofe of trade:
The offer likes; and the nimble fon of fat
ham

"On the white wonder of her foft hand"
And leads down all before him.——

MINUTES

3. public relative to the events of the 3rft of May and 2d of June, the fictitious ftories circulated in the Departments, ftorics which became a pretext for civil war-in short, every thing impofes it a duty on the Convention to pronounce ultimately on this great bwfness. I trace the facts to their fource. The Deputies in cuftody are not all guilty. Moft of them were only deluded; but you were under the neceffity of facrificing the liberty of a few to the welfare of all.

The Convention, ever fince its origin, has been divided into two parties. Whether it was intended to rebuild the throne of the ancient dynafty, or to facilitate fome foreign ufurpation-certain it is, that a project has been purfued, that a moniter has been fitting among us. Formerly a defender of Kings, he now fe gned to defend the Republic. Too fufpicious to have accomplices, he was always dexterous enough to have blinded partizans and adherents. This man is Brifot. Others have been fitting next him, who, by the conformity of their whims and ambition, marched more in one body than in real union.

Previous to the 10th of Auguft, the prifoners had avowed their attachment to the Monarchy. Partizans of the forfeiture of Royalty, they combated Republicanism. They prepared the Throne-fome for the fon of Louis Capet, under the Regency of his mother, others for the Duke of York, who now fo politely makes war upon us, and indemnifies the French agriculturists, by letting his foldiers ravage their fields. They all felt an equal deteftation of the Republic: they all wanted to deprive France of that popular government.

Petion figned, on the roth of Auguft, the order to fire upon the people. Vergniaud, affifted by his accomplices, caufed the King to be fuspended, that he might compound with public indignation. They all temporized, and feemed to promife to themfelves that a National Convention would be powerful enough to crush, the Republican party, Hence, during the first days of its fittings, Manuel propofed to the Affembly to fix the refidence of the Prefident in the Palace of the 1 builleries, to give him life-guards, and to decree that the people thould bare their heads in his prefence. It was furely defigned to preferve, during the Interregnum, the image of the power of one individual. The faction did not openly condemn the immortal day of the 10th of August, but they deplored the private accidents which attended it: they flattered the people, in order to difunite them. Buzet and Barbaroux adroitly provoked the quelling of popular commotions: They attempted to opprefs the Sovereign by GENT. MAC, Gelober, 1793

them by perfecuting the Republicans, and difpleafing the Aristocrats. We faw them continually with Roland, tracing the bloody picture of the fatal days of September; and we could alfo accufe Manuel and Petion, then both in Magifterial office, who, being urged to ftop thofe malfacres, refufed and manifefted apprehenfions left they should expose their popularity. We could accufe Briffor of having asked, in his gloomy curiofity, if the blood of Morande, his enemy, had not been shed.

But let us digrefs, from these private facts, to other deeds which involve more the gene.. ral interest. When, at the period of the evacuation of Champaigne, the Prussian Kalkreuth made propofals of peace to Kellermann, this General committed them to the Diplomatic Committee and the Council: but the prisoners were then at the helm of affairs; the letters of Kellermann are buried in fecrecy. The General complained in vain; and yet, fome time after, thofe very men, to fave the King, appeared to be terrified at the menaces of Europe. Quite in defpair at their defeat, their plan was changed. Brilfot, who predominated in the Council, exerted his influence over the choice of our Diplomatic Envoys; his friends and accom. plices filled thofe places, and directed them under him. Meanwhile, Barbaroux called a battalion of Marseillois against the Convention, and rang the alarm of civil war.

But I have thus far forborne to speak of that Dumourier, who was fully enough acquainted with the caufes of the fubversion of the throne to conceive hopes of raifing it again by force of arms. This traitor kept on his mask as long as Louis lived. It seems the King had no particular friend, and that his life was only preferved to restore the throne, Dumourier, indeed, declared himfelf in favour of young Orleans, and agaiuft the fon of Louis. It became necessary here to fecond this plan. Buzot propofed the banishment of the Bourbons. He knew that it would only be furrounding, with the favour of the foldiers, a youth who appeared to be delivered up to the fury of his executioners.

The King was no more-The declamations against anarchy recommenced with revived rage; pillage was preached at Paris, and the recruiting obftructed by riots; Buzot's valet was taken into cuftody while fpreading thofe troubles. (Murmurs on the right fide of the Hall of the Convention — At the fame time our foldiers were difpirited, our armies diforganized, and the enemy compounded with. Dumourier endeavoured to poffefs himself of the ftrong holds, threatened the National Reprefentation, and propofed to march to Paris to fecond the efforts of

his

his accomplices. A bill was posted up in all the streets of this capital, in which the people were mvited to drive away the banditti of clubs of the Sections, and of the Con vention; this bill was figned "Anington" Search was made after the author: it was Vladi, one of our colleagues. Meanwhile it was rumoured, that the Minifter, Meurnonville, and the right fide of the ConvenCon, were to be affinated: the conquerors of the Baftile were fufpected of this defign: it was ftated they had fworn this maffacre in the square of La Revolution. They went after, thofe brave defenders of the country, who were found celebrating a civic feaft, at the foot of the tree of fraternity, with all the Confituted Authorities of Paris. A thonfand finifter rumours were incelfintly repeated, all proceeding from the Diretory of Valaze, where forty Deputies held their berlicide Council. Thus they troubled Bourdeaux, Marfeilles, Lyons, the North, and. Corfica, where Paol was likewife crying down anarchy, to wreft that island from the Republic.

Amid all thefe fhocks the Committee of Twelve was formed to find out the confpiraLors; but, being compofed chiefly of their partizans or accomplices, it only became their fupport; it ripped Hubert, the fubAtitute of the commonalty, of his functions, as the defpot had done; it betrayed its plan of tabjug.ting the citizens by terror. All this time the Republic continued to he trouble, and the prifoners excited the rebellion of the Administrations of the departments: the people, aggravated and provoked, came to demand the liberty of their Magiftrue (Hebert): they were repulfed, and the armed force furrounded the Sanctuary of Liverty, to keep off their just complaints. Thofe fatal days put all the friends of their country in mind of theię perplexed movements of the firit days of Auguft, where the Citizens implored the vengeance of the Nation upon a menacing Court. Indeed, a just fentiment of anticipation hurried on the people of Paris, fince, in one night preceding the commotion of the 31st of May, the alarm gun was to be fpiked, the cannons of the Commons and of the temple to be fe.zed, the fun of Louis Capet to be proclaimed King, and his mother Regent.

Couthon-This impeachment has been figned, in the Committee of Public Welfare, by people who will not be fufpected by thofe gentlemen.

St. Jun-All the figned charges are depofited in the Committee, and will be printed. But to proceed-fer this plot thould have been executed, the individuals who compofed this league were to have been, in their own right, life-guards of the new king and thote who wo ld have fignalized themfelves were to have been decorated with a black and white ribband, and a medal representing an eagle overthrowing anarchy, Tfis plo:

was on the eve of being put in execution; but the 31st of May and the ed of June Rifled it; and from that period forward the people, having received a government at your hands, have feen the laft days of anarchy.

Now they exercife their rage on the con fines of Eure and in Calvados, Their agents fecond them at Pourdeaux, Lyons, and Marfelles; the fire is ready to kindle; Europe waits to know the daltard who shall dare to demand a king; but our deftimes are stronger than our enemies; you must conquer them. Pronounce, profcribe those who arm against you, judge the others, and pardon the majority.

It refults, from the papers delivered to the Committee, that an attempt was made to prevent the estudifhment of a republican government; that anarchy has been the pretence and watch-word of the confpirators that an attempt has been made to re-elt lih the throne; to divide the North and South of France hy civd war; that the rebellion against the republican government has broke out in the department of Corfica, the Mouths of the Rhone, Gironde, Eure, Calvados, Rhone and Loire, &c. In confe quence whereof, the Committee has chr ged me to propofe to you the adoption of the following plan of decrees.

The National Convention decrees, as traitors to their country, Buz t, Barbaroux, Gorfas, Lanjuinais, and all those who fai from the decree of arreft, itfued against them on the 2d of June.

"There is room for putting under a decree of accufation Genfoune, Gaude;, Vermaud, and Biroteau, charged with being accomplices in these plots.

"The Convention recalls to its bofom Bertrand, and other detained deputies, more deluded than guilty.

"The Convention orders all the documents relative to thefe plots to be printed." (To be continued)
