moment, rebus extantibus, the muft bow the neck to that country. This was a confeq sence, which he infifted, would be the refult of fuch an acknowledgement. In her fyftem of conduct, France has followed the conduct of Mahomet, who, affecting to preach peace, carried his Koran in one hand, and his fword in the other, to punish all who would not believe him. Thus acted the French Republic. It published a declaration of ibe Rights of Man, and then propagated them by the word. With regard to a war with France, he afferted, that war had already been declared by that country against this, by the promulga tion of their decrees against all, the governments of Europe. He concluded with expreffing his difapprobation of the amendment.

Mr. Torke was aftonished at the oppofition made to the addrefs, for the purpofe of weakening the executive power, at a time when the country was threatened by fedition within, and an infult without; but, though eloquence and abilities might be found on the other fide of the House, he would not look there for patriotifm, moderation,

or candour.

Mr. Adam deprecated the war, cenfured the mode of calling the parlia ment, and declared for the amendment.

Loid Carysfort was againtt the amendment: he deprecated the conduct of France, and fincerely hoped, that, if we fhould be involved in a war against our old and inveterate enemy, it might, as all our former wars with that nation had, end fuccessfully and honourably, and enable us to maintain the liberty of every country in Europe, and give

equal freedom and protection to all.

Mr. Secretary Dundas, in reply to Mr. Fox, contended, that the king's minifters, far from being careless of their duty, had attended to it with a peculiar degree of punctuality. The only conftruction, he faid, that could be put upon the amendment was, that you were to throw yourselves at the feet of France, and accept of them any terms they might pleafe to impofe. He thought this country was not vet reduced to fo low a ftate of defpondency as to be induced to make any fuch overtures, without even knowing whether they would be accepted. Every poffible means would be taken to avoid a war, that was confiftent with the dignity and honour of a great nation; but, if war was found to be indefpenfably neceffary, he had not the finalleft doubt but the people of this country would display the fame bravery and courage against their old foes, by which their ancestors were fo much celebrated in every battle which they fought with the French.

Mr. Powys confidered the political intention, declared by Mr. Fox, to be peculiarly baneful to this country; and his amendment would have the effect, if paffed, of alienating the people from the executive power. To him, negocistiga with France appeared impoffible; to whom was an ambaffador to be fent? who was fure that they who had pro◄ feribed your king would accept an ambaffator from him? The addrefs had his hearty affent.

The question, on the amendment, was put and negatived without a divifion, and the addicts agreed to. (To be continued)

The gate of St. Bernard, and the prifon called La Tournelle, the prifon of the galley-flaves, at Paris. The elegant bas-reliefs of this gate, the work of Tubi the Roman, in the reign of Louis XIV. are very indifferently expreffed in this engraving.

Notre dame de Mantes, burnt by our William the Conquerer, and not rebuilt till the reign of Louis IX. in a bold and beautiful ftyle, by Eudes de Montreuil, who defigned most of the churches of that reign. M. Millin, in his defcription of it, has fhewn himself not intenti ble to the merit of Gothic architecture. Several flatues have been taken away from the door of the chapel of the Rofary; it is not faid by whom, or what has been done with them.

The old palace at Rouen, built by Henry V. of England, with a view of it in its original style, from Ducarel, whofe inaccuracy is here cenfured. By the caftle is the ftatue of Henry IV. which the populace have decorated with the bandeau and flag of liberty, without deftroying it. This caftle has been engraved by the Society of Antiquaries;

Vol. III. contains the following 12 articles, numbered in continuance from the preceding volume.

The church of the Cordeliers at Mantes.

Convent of the Great Auguftines, at Paris. In this church was the chapel of the Holy Ghoft, erected in memory of the order of the Holy Ghost, inftituted therein by Henry III. 1579; of which there was a picture, deftroyed by the Leaguers on the murder of the Guifes. In another chapel, erected by Philip de Comines the hiftorian, are his and his wife's and only daughter's monuments and figures. The knights of the Holy Ghoft were inftalled in the choir, which was adorned with feven paintings, 16 feet by 12, of the ceremonial, &c. The two halls, decorated with memorials of the knights, 1733, are now used for the payment of rents, and receipt of contributions. A philanthropic fociety affembled in this convent in 1780, and at prefent relieves about 1000 fuperannuated labourers, blind children, poor women with five children and ready to liein with a fixth, poor widows or widowers with fix children; which example has been followed in other cities of the kingdom,

Monuments of the town of Vernon. Here were a collegiate church, three nunneries of Urfulines, nuns of the congregation of Notre Dame, and one of Auguftines, founded by St. Louis, with an hofpital, and two parith-churches of St. James and St. Genevieve; the firft of thefe now destroyed, the other only half. In the collegiate church is the tomb of William Vernon, with his figure inlaid in white marble, now leveled in the floor of the nave, where it will foon be rubbed out by the feet, badly engraved by Ducarel, from which is copied that of another William Vernon, now deftroyed, as were the fcreen between the nave and choir, and the inclosure of the cloifters. A beautiful new high altar was brought hither from the Carthufian church of Gaillon, and the old one broken to

pieces.

pieces. The tombs of the Vernon family were in this choir. There is only that of Marshal Belleifle, 1761, and his fon killed at the battle of Crevelt, 1758. The article of Vernon is very full; and M. Millin is indebted for many particulars to M. Guyot, a prieft, antient canon of St. Guenault, at Corbeil. This refpectable and virtuous ecclefiaftick has employed himself on the hiftorical and topographical defcription of Normandy, and the civil and ecclefiaftical antiquities of France.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Paris, whofe altar-piece is the Refurrection of Chrift, finely painted by Le Brun.

The collegiate church of Ecous, with the monument of its founder, Euguenard de Maugny, who was put to death, 1315, by the influence of Louis Comte de Valois over Louis le Hutin. In a piefs under the altar is kept a wooden crofier, of hazle, carved with the hiftory of Chrift, and paffages of Scripture, in a Spiral line. The head of it, here engraved, is very like that of Wykeham, at New College, Oxford.

The church of St. Benedict, at Paris, has in it a monument of Francis Fyot Baron Montpont, a commiffioner in parliament, who died in 1716. A figure of Death, fufpended in the air, uncovering an urn between two Death's heads. The attitude of this figure, the foldings of the drapery, and expreffion of the heads, are truly admirable. We think the addition of wings to Death novel, to say the leaft. M. Millin difcuffes the different and more pleafing manner in which the antients reprefented Death than the moderas. Perhaps they did not understand enough of anatomy to reprefent it as a Skeleton. In this church is buried the famous medalift, Vaillant, and the celebrated lawyer, Chopin, who used to fludy lying on the flour, furrounded by his books, and died 1606, under the opera tion for the ftone; the anatomit, Winflow, 1760, and many famous printers, particularly Badius Afcenfus, Kerver, and Cramoily; and engravers, as Audran, Pally, and Mariette; alto, Claude and Charles Perrault, and Earon the comic actor.

The great clock at Rouen, and the fountains du Mafatre ano de la Croße. This clock exifted in 1409, but the tower earlier. The defcription of it is accompanied with a curious alertation on clocks and watches in Europe. It is furpriting how the French literati excel

us in the proofs and materials of fuch differtations.

Palace of Juftice at Rouen, where the parliament of Normandy used to affumble, the hall of which is the largest and be lighted in the kingdom. The defcription includes an account of this and other parliaments, and of chimnej s.

Church of the Mathurines at Paris. Of all the tombs described in it are now to be feen only thofe of the loyal Mathurin, the two scholars hanged at Montfaucon that of Sacro Boico, the archite&t Roman, and thofe at the door of the chapter-houfe. The pictures have been removed, and the reft of the buildings defroved, or fucceeded by buildings of good effect, defigned by Vouges, architect of the new cloifter, under which the Univerfity of Paris used to hold their feffions every three months, and over it was the library. Thefe alterations, we prefume, were prior to the Revolution.

XXXVIII); to which fucceeded, 1755, a stone pedef tal, with her ftatue.
