" Balk, Ottober Is. • Friends.and brothers—When you feparated yourfelvet from your wives, your children, your fathers, and your friends, to conquer for your chit• dren, liberty, independence, and profpoity, you abandoned with alacrity and courage yourcottages, and your flocks.. This idea, the GOO of our fa thers ii with us, and proteas us,' save you force to brave all the dangers, and to defpife the fatigues of war. You quitted with tongs your mountains and your valleys, to enter into the field and defend the cede ofliberty and your country. The ALMIGHTY Netted your arms, and heard the jag withes of a cation known only by its reffitude, and which had armed for its liberty and independence. Cur ene mies, our oppreffors, the jot-affast Helvetic Go. vernment, with its feeble party, have been chafed -almoti to the frontiers of the confederate cantons. u But, brothers and friends, we have received a notifitation that if we did not by our conduit give proofs of an entire confidence in the Fiarr.i Cossoi of the powerful nation of France, who has tasted a declaration to be made by his envoy, Ge neral RAPT, to our fathers ambled at Schwita, that he willies to interpofe as mediator in the war which we are carrying on againß the odious Hel vetic Government, we &odd be 'compelled to it by the viaorions arms of the French warriors.. Brothers, friends, c-nifederates, who among us timid conceive the thought of oppofmg ourfelves to the numerous and experienced armies of France ? No, friends, no; we with to await peace ably the determination of the Farr Cousin., and with that order, that moderation, and that difci pline, which lave hitherto guided your *cps, you will receive, we are convinced, the further orders of your fuperiors, of your General.; and even, if it &Could be neceffary, you will return to your re. fidences, in order that our country may not be ex heated by the entrance of foreign troops; that lie may not be deprived of the, fcanty hotel of this year, which we hoped to coafume with our chll dren ; and that tre may not be plunged into indi gene; and nsifery. It is only the Helvetic Govern ment, direfted by m its . pawns and its private inte ret, that could call m the aid of foreign troops : we, who took up Across otily for our ountr7 and tranquillity, .lii need of . • to attain our objea. But, 'relying on our c a, we dare tal hope s ebpt et Finn Cousin of Fiance, who has guaranteed our independence, and who has been deceived by falfe reports, will, as loon as he (ball; have been Informed of the true Rate oflthings, take meafures, which will fecure our honour, and the profperity and independence of our country.

Some, however, endeavour to. Oerfuade the pub. EC, and we have no cluubt of the purity of their motive4'in doing fo, 4hat the buale in our ports is no more than what has always been ufual at the end of a war.—The (hips put into commilEon, they fay, mite never otherwife intended than as 'hips on t h e peace ellablifbment. " Many of them wanted repairs, and were of courfe put out of com tniffion, and the feamen difcharged. They have fence been recommiilioned, and as feamen were found to enter very (lowly, it was found neceffary to open honks of rendezvous in different ports, to induce them to do fo. There have been eighteen houfes of this defcription opened. It is found, however, that the feamen, who have not yet (pent their prize-money, are (till unwilling to come for. ward freely, under the hope of bounties being of. fered, as during the three IA days poly 72 (cameo have entered in the vicinity of London." No one ever doubted that we milli keep up a certain number of chips on our peace ellablifi. meat, nor has any one inferred any thing threat. ening to the peace of .urope from that circum. Rance. But the late battle has by no means been lilts the tifual proceedings on the re-eftablilhment -Orrice. The condnet of France has been arro. gait and intuiting to all the powers of tarope,and the 'opiate of prepanition in our ports has kept pace fome meafure with the increafing arro. fiance If our rival. It bas not been ufual to hurry off frigates and packets to all our foreign garrifons and poffeflons at pin hour's notice, or to fit out every filip put into compail4on in time of peace with fix month; provifions, as we have teen lately. This very day our letters from Falmouth inform us, that on Titef dad bight - an exprefs arrived there, ordering the immediate failing of the following packets I and fuch was the urgency of the difpatches put on 0414 of then), that they failed although the wind was quite contrary r—The Into Gioia: packet, Ylscoss,s, with Mails of the Lath and 19th int for Liibon ; the LADY HqBART packet, FELLows, with Mails of the Loth inflant, for the Leeward Wanda, and ailed, orders, not to be opened till they arOVent llarbadoes. The PLINCESS Anima Pacltattots t alfo to fill early yefterday morning, pro vifioital for fix months, with difpatches, and alto with faded orders, not to be opened till the arrive at a certain 'latitude, about 20 leagues well of Scilly; and all the other packets in harbour have received orders to be in readinefs to fail at two hours notice. We mean not to alert that a war is unavoida• ble. We even hope that the preparations for one which are fo difcernible may be the means of pre. venting it; but vie cannot help thinking that thole who would have us believe Inch a thing impofii ble, but ill flifcharge their duty to individuals, whole property may be fo much affeeted by an ill placed confidence in fuch an opinion. There are no arrivals from the Continent this day.
