U FRANCE. 1 TRIBUNATE, DECEMBER is. The Preildent--E m 1 LE GAUDIN is about tirfpeak on a Motion of Order. GAUDIN" Tribunes, on the 22d of June, you chore one of our Colleagues, as diftin guithed for his eloquence as for his republican virtues, to celebrate the prodigies which the ge nius, the valour, the military fcience, the devo tion and the death of heroes, had worked on the Alps, in Italy, and in Germany. Convinced that you place in the rank of your firft duties—that you confider as one of your nobleft attributes--the care of proclaiming and honouring in this Tribune, the names and the anions of the Citizens, who render themfelves illaftrious by fighting for the liberty and happinds of the country, I ought perhaps to have waited until anew felettion on your part fliould point out the orator who is, in your name, to pay a juft tribute of praife to the army of the Eaft for its glorious and ufeful exploits, and for thevirtues it &plays. To attempt a debarkation in Egypt, to conquer and pores that fertile land, to re-efta blifh afterwards acrofs the ifthmus which attaches it to Afia, thofe ancient communications which formerly united the regions of the South with the people of the Weft—communications which were in the s 3th and 14th centuries, a fource of glory and wealth to the Venetians, was not undoubtedly a new idea ; but if it be the property of genius to conceive great enterprizes, it alto belongs only to genius to execute them ; genius alone can coiled and combine the elements, and apply the means and the details necefrary to enfure fuccefs. After the peace of Campo Forrnia, the Conqueror of Italy was invited, as much by the willies of the nation as by the Government, to command the army deflined to combat the 14a and the snoft implacable of the enemies of the Republic.—The French people did not defire that Great Britain fhould be fta rvcd, difmembered, or deftroyed.— They did not with to overthrow thofe ancient char ters and that constitution fo juftly revered and che rished by the Englifh nation, which owes to them its fplendour, and which would have done more to wards its happinefs, if they had always been faith- I fully oliferved, and if the check which they im poled upon the avarice or ambition of Minifters bad not been fcandaloufly deftroyed. But what the French people withed—what they have always wifhed and ftill with—is the independence of their flag, of the flag of their allies, and of all navigat ing and commercial people ; it is the free and un rderved enjoyment by them, and by thofe people, of the rights and advantages of communication and conveyance, with which it feems that Nature meant to gratify all mankind when the furrounded the terreftial part of the globe with the raft extent of feas. Proud of her numerous fleets, of the cou rage and &ill of her failors, England has been, and • ftiil is, very far from fubfcribing to thofe counfels which equity and a well underftood intereft have long given her upon this fubjea. She appears snore than ever to confider nations as tributary to her—her commerce, her induftry, and her mari time power are to concentrate all their treafures in her hands—thefe odious principles have juft been openly profeffed and proclaimed by the Minifters, and even by men who it might have been fuppofed would have had more liberal ideas. Has not Mr. Sheridan laid in the Houfe of Commons, that Eng land ought not for any confideration to fuffer her felf to be difpofrelred of the empire of the feas, which the has poireffed for two centuries ?—it is upon their conquefts in India that the Englifh reft the trident they have ufurped. To tear it from their grafp, it was neceffary to dire& againft India the blow that was preparing to be flruck. To pene trate into that remote region, the fliorteft, molt certain, and leaft expetted road, was that of Egypt. BONAPARTI conceived it, and the plan long meditated of occupying that country was fudden ly refolved upon, and not lefs rapidly attempted. He does not alone, like vulgar conquerors, found his hopes of fuccefs upon thofe means of force and deftruftion which the genius of war has in vented, but equally philanthropical and wife, he prepares and combines all the means of form ing a powerful colony, and of making it flourilh. afrociates to his deftiny thole precious men who cultivate the fciences which proteft liberty, and the beneficent arts by which conquerors make the conquered forget their defeat. The lots of the fleet at Aboukir, by fufpending its ulterior deflination, had no other effet on the French army than the forcing it to think ferioufly of dia. blifhing itfelf in a folid and durable manner in Egypt, which it had already nearly conquered. To the political objet which the expedition to Egypt bad in view, Was added the intention of wrefting that fine country from the tyrnny of the Mamelucks, the violators of treaties—of impreffing upon the Ottoman Empire the fentiment of our dig nity and power-.and, by ellablifhing a point of im mediate contaft with it, of communicating to it fof ficient vigourtofhelter it from the attack meditating againft it. But the temporary fucceffes of Nelfon, the gold and the menaces of the Cabinet of St. James's, the imbecility of the greater part of the Mi nifters of Stun the Third, the fanaticifm, igno rance, and pride of all, difappointed the combi nations and the hopes of enlightened and profpec tive frienelfhip." GAUDIN proceeded to pay a tribute of praife to all the foldiers of the army, and of regret for the lots of KLUItIt. He con cluded by moving, that all the late papers relative to Egypt fhould be printed and diftributed, and that two copies fhould be depofited in the 4.ibrary of the Tribunate, as a monument of its gratitude to the Army of Egypt. Riot's re moved the appointment of a Commit lion to examine thefe two points : Firft, how the Tribunate could cxprefs its gratitude to the ar mies? and Secondly, that the Government fhould be invited to have a Hiflory of the Expedition to Egypt written in the form of a claflical book. The Tribunate ordered the fpeeches of (; vont and Rtourra to be printed, and refiat‘,l them to a commigion. YHZ UNION. AT THI COURT ♦T ET.
