The Condu&or of the Journal des Debates, moved that it (hould be enqui red who accumalated upon the head of Hanriot the command of the Parisian Guards, and that of the 17th military diviiion in defiance of an existing decrec? He hinted Slfo that the present fub tifficers of, the latter had been appointed by Hanriot and moved an enquiry. Referred to the two committees.

The magis trates and the Repiefentatives of the people of BrufTels and it» environs, gave yesterday a Civic Fete, on account of an oath, unanimoiifly pronouncing th| Union of this city with the French Re public.

And, with the im pulse of Republican enthuliafm, earnells ly urged the fraternal embrace ! Immediately the whole company rose, as if actuated by thfc fame emotions! to ohry the fummoris. The military of all ranks and ages, the 1 /herifls, the other infiltrates; the d&icons of the traders, the pallors of the pirrilh, presented them selves ;'S one Ifirge farriily, united by those ties the mod endearing to liberty and equality. A clioftn band of muli cians, and the then and women dancers, fuddeuly entered, to give additional in terest to the trarffports of jov, excited by this aft of confraternity. General Ferrind announced, that, the Tree of Liberty was in the market place. That vlvy tree, attorned with' many three colotiied flags, was brought forth from tlfe gate of Narmtr, accom panied by the floiirilh of trumpets."

In the even ing the Court-House in this borough was illuminated by the federal citizens, and a tranfpareftcy exhibited with the following inferiptions in large illuminat ed characters, in the front of the trans parency, " WASHINGTON IS E VER TRIUMPHANT." On one fide, " THE REIGN OF THE LAWS," on the other fide, " WOE TO ANARCHISTS." On Monday morning a number of the principal inhabitants presented the following Address, To GEORGE WASHINGTON, Efqtiire, President of the United States : S 1 R, We, the subscribers, Inhabitants of this bo.ough, on behalf of ourselves and our fellow-citizens, friends to good order, government, and the laws, ap proach you at this time, to express our linceie admiration of ihofe virtues, which have been uniformly exerted with so much fuceefs, for the happiness of America; and which, at this critical period of impending foreign and domes tic troubles, have been manifefted with distinguished lustre. Though we deplore the cause which has collected in this borough all clalTes of virtuous citizens, yet it affords us To which hi w phased to return the following Anf-juer. ! Gentlemen, - I thank you fineerely for your aflfe<3ion | ate'addrefs. Ifeel as I ought, what is per- I fonal t;i me; and I cannot but be partic'u j larly pleased with the enlightened and pjr [ triotfc attachment which is manifefted to i wards our happy conititution and the ■ laws. When we look aronnd and behold the univerla'ily acknowledged prosperity of the United States; faifts no less unequivocal than those which are the lamented occasion of our present meeting, were necessary to persuade us, that any portion of our fel low-citizens could beib deficient in discern ment of virtue, as to attempt to disturb a situation which, instead of murmurs and tumults, calls for our warnielt gratitude to Heaven, and our earnest enndeavours to preserve and prolong so favored a lot. Let us hope that the delusion cannot be I laiting; that realon will speedily re gain her empire, and the laws their just authority, where they have lolt it: Let the wile & the virtuous unite their efforts to reclaim the milguided, and to detetf and defeat the arts of the l'aitious. The union of good men is a b*fis, on which the se curity of our internal peace and the ftabi bilitv of cur Government may fafely reft. It will always prove an adequate rampart against the vicious and difordnly. In cases in which it may be indifpenfahle to raifc the sword of justice. ajjalnft ob stinate offenders, I (hall deprecate the ne ceflityof deviating from a favorite aim, to eltablifh the authority of the laws in the affedtfons of all, rather than in the fears of any.

Extracts of Letters from refpcftablc Mer chants in London. August 6, 1794, " I duly received your's of the 30th May. It is with great concern 1 have observed the difference that has arifeu between the two countries, and blame our government here, as their conduct for ifTuing the order of 6th November lalt was in my opinion very ia(h, and ill advised. It is very seldom that I blame the mcafures government, be cause I anf, in great meafuie unacquaint ed with the secret springs of it- There might have been many reasons to hav« induced them to such a Hep with which you or I may be totally uuacquainted ; but ;.s far as 1 can fee, it appears U> me in the above point of view : Neither do I much like the question that has been frequently agitated with you, viz : on the propriety of confifcating private property. Such a ttcp would have been unprecedented and in tl-e extreme cruel, that individuals should be robbed of their all, on account of the improper conduit of any government. I think from what I can fee, and hear from persons well acquainted with the dispositions of the Americans, wt may expefi-fliould a war at any time take place, a step of this kind would be a dopted, the very idea of which tends to decrease that confidence we should ever cherish. We hear but little cf the negociatiT ons of your Ambaflador Mr. Jay, but from what has transpired we have every reason to expect the differences will be amicably fettled, which I am happy to find, independent of interest—l lincere ly love peace and all the blessings that accompany it. 1 wish I could persuade my ft If that I fliould soon fee peace efta bhftied all over Europe : Oh ! this is a very bloody war ; the French are furi ous and wicked : Their decree to give no (Quarter to the Englifo soldiery ia such conduct as we could not expect to receive from the molt [barbarous] Sa- vage Nations.
