The Speakers of the Tribunate having requefted to be heard in a Stied Committee, the Prefident ordered the Public to Withdraw. DEE ER MONT, Orator of the Government—" Cj tizens Legiflators, the with expreffed by the Tribu- nate for their adoption,and the motives reprefentedi to you in their name, leave no doubt in my - mind of the hippy refults of the ineafurei taken by Go vernment for the reftoration of order and economy through, every part of the public Adminifiration.— It is to the wifdom of thefe meafures we owe the moderate demands that are made for all the ex pences of the 9th year. There it not a member of this Affembly who Mould not be made ac quainted with the happy epoch of the 9th of No vember, and who fhould not feel that we have made a great progrefs towards a general amelio ration of public affairs, and that we ought to form new hopes for the public profperity." After ufing various arguments in fupport of thefe meafures, the Orator proceeded—" The Government has been continually employed in colleting all the in formation that could throw new light on the Ad rniniftration of the Finances of the Republic. Of this a new proof has been given in the propofition of the 3d article, which is Aibmitted to you. This article propofes that the Mini ter of Finance fhould give a general account every year of the receipts and expenditures. This obligation was not pre kribed by the Constitution; but it will be highly &rut and it was the duty of Government to have propofed it." Ainiauo—" Citizens Legiflators, a year has karcely paired away fince a Commilfion of the Five Hundred prefented in this Tribune the demand which had been made by the DireCtorial Govern ment, of the Turn of 800 millions for the expences of the Bth year.

You know, Legiflators, what glory and fuccefs has been gained for the Republic, by the employment 6f dick expences thus reduced. Our brave armies, ltruggling againft want of every kind, had tem-, ponzed with viaory, until the good genius of France had raifed up ont of chaos, every con ception of prudence and boldnefs, of moderation and of valour that refembled magic; every com bination of exterior politics, and admini&etive economy, which fince the 9th of November, have rein Rated the deftinies of the Republic, and ?truck the hour or &fires and humiliation for of Peace—England.— by faithful allies ; marks imon intercft on the part of buds of friendfhip that are the Cabinets which have Englifh politics; all thefe .urope the wifdom of the The capitalifts of all coun ')e favourable moment for fecure and productive. ante in the aetual in the approaching pad& liave an intereft in our have been tripled in value lovember.

Notwithfkanding the certain hope we entertain of an approaching conclufion of peace, yet it behoves every pru dent Government, till peace is aftually conclud ed, to remit, in no manner, the preparations for defence and fecurity on which the welfare of the whole Monarchy depends, as well as the property and tranquility of individuals. With re fpedt to this defence it is therefore ordered that fuch as are to ferve in perfon, flail appear before the proper officers, and receive their direflions under the orders of the General of Artillery, the Prince of WIRTEMBERC. Such as cannot ferve in perfon, but are in poffeffion of arms, (hall deliver up the fame to the arfenal, to be employed in the defence of the city, whence they may receive them again at the peace. " People of the Auftrian Monarchy ! You have ever lived under the happieft and mildeft Govern ment—to this all Europe affents. Auftrians, your fidelity to your Religion, your Princes, and your Country; your morality; your courage, and bravery in all the wars you have waged, has been ever your inheritance and an example to others, however the fortune of war may be change. able to every State and every people. This muta bility is in the nature of human events; but the virtues of a people, their courage, fidelity, and loyalty to their monarch, the Rate, and religion, (the greateft good and comfort of man) nothing can fo alter or deprefs, that they 1611 not be ex erted, and calmly repair every lofs.

The force of the Ross was only to four-pounders, and 28 men. From the great fuperiority of the enemy, being much thattered, and having fevcral men wounded, the was at length obliged to tlrike. The Rosa had one man killed, and five others, with Mr. OLt- ERR, the Commander, badly wounded. It is much feared that the Commander will lofe the ufe of his right arm, as he was wounded by grape (hot ; the re(' are likely to do well.
