LOUIS, COUNT COBENZE L. JOSEPH BONAPARTE. ACTS OF THE COVERNNIENT. PLUVIOSE (FEB. 13). MESSACE OF THE CONSULS ) ADDRESSED TO THE LEGISI.ATIV'E BODY AND THE TRIBUNATE. The Continental Peace has been signed at L sine - v; It is such as the French People wished. Their first wish was the limit of the Rhine. Re verses never shook their resolution—ViCiory never added to their pretensions. After liming re,established the antient limits of Gaul, they had to give liberty to the People who were united to them by one common origin, and by the community of interests and of manners. The Liberty of the Cisalpines and of Liguria is secured. After this duty; there was another; which jus tice and generosity imposed. The KING of SPAIN had been faithful to our cause; and had suffered for it. Neither our re verses, nor the perfidious insinuations of our EneMies; could detach him from our interests— he Will have a just recompense, a Prince of his Blood will sit on the Throne of Tuscany. He will remember what be owes to the fidelity Of Spain, and to the friendship of France : his roadsteds and his ports will be shut against our Enethies, and will become the asylum of our Coni mote and out Ships. Aim/a---and it is that which is the pledge of Peacc--'-Austiia, henceforth sepatated from France by Viiit regions, will no longer feel that rivalry, thine heart-burnings, which, for so many ages, have occasioned the torment of these two Powers, and the calamities of Europe. By this Treaty, every thing is settled with re sped to France—it will no longer have to truggle against the forms and the intrigues of a Congress. The Governnient owes the expression - of it satisfaftion to the Minister Plenipotentiary wh o has condufted this Negotiation to this happy termination. There remain neither interpreta tions to be feared, nor explanations to be de. mantled, nor those 'equivocal arrangements, in which the Diplomatic art deposits the seeds of a new War. • Wherefore was not this Treaty the Treaty of a General Peace ? This was the wish of France ! This the constant object of the efforts of the Go vernMent ! But all its efforts are in t ain. All Europe knows that the Britannic Minister has endeavour. ed to frustrate the Negotiations at Lustesii 11r ! In 'rain an Agent, authorised by the Govern ment, declared to him' on the gth of Odober, i Soo; that France was ready to enter with him upon a separate Negotiation. This declaration only obtained a refusal, under the pretext that England could not abandon her Ally. Since that, when this Ally consents to treat without Rug. land, that Government seeks other means to de. lay a Peace, so necessary to the'World. It violates Conventions which Humanity had consecrated, and declares War against miserable Fishermen. It raises pretentions contrary to the dignity and the rights of all Nations. The whole Com. merce of Asia, and of immense Colonies, does not satisfy its ambition.- All the Seas must be submitted to the exclusive Sovereignty of Eng land. It arms against Russia, Denmark ,and Sweden, because Russia, Sweden and Deny:esti have secured, by Treaties of Guaranty, their Sovereignty, and the Independence of their Flags. The Powers of the North, unjustly attacked, have a right to reckon upon France. The French Government will avenge with them, a common injury to all Nations, without ever losing sight, however, that it ought only to fight for Peace, and for the good of the World.

LATE last night arrived in the' Downs, the American Ship Sally, of Baltimore, Dery to GEMMIL L master, bound to. Amsterdam, put in, being very leaky, having encountered a heavy gale of wind in the North Sea, which obliged her to bear up, after twice being in sight of . the Texel. Arrived also, the Galliot Mercuriut, PETEL HENRICK GEEDES master, of Rostock, in Meek.. lenburg, bound to London, with wheat. Remain in the Downs, His Majesty's Ships as per last. Ws yesterday mentioned in the greatest part of our Impression, the arrival of Dispatches from Sir RALPH Aaracsomay, dated in the Archipelago on the !st of January, which contain the pleasing intelligence of hi; Army, consisting of 16,000 men, being in high health and spirits, and that his piospetts of succeeding in the objeet of the Expedition were very flattering. Dis patches were likewise received from Lord IC 111TH, stating the capture of two Transports, with Troops, bound from Toulon to Alexandria.---- These were a pail of six, two of which had got into the port of AleAandria, one had foundered, and one was still at sea. Lord Kg ItH's Squadron had like:vise taken a Vessel bound to France, on board of which were TALLIEN and other French men. From their account it was learnt, that General MENOU was not prepared to expel so large a force as that under Sir RALPH Aaat*• CRUMBT. Mr. SHAIRP, it is said, left Petershtgb in consequence of an intimation, that His IMPERIAL MAJESTY would not permit any person who held Commission from His 'BR ItrtNi l / 4 1 IC MAJESTY to reside in his doininions. He brought, however, as we before stated, some dispatches for our Government. The new Ministers are expeded to kiss hands, on Friday. In the beginning of the next week they will probably appear in their places in the two Houses of Parliament, The LORD CHANCELLOR retires with a Pen, sior! of +OOOl. per annum. Mr. PITT'S Declaration in the House of Corn. mons on Monday evening, fully justifies every thing that we have stated upon the cause of his resignation, and proves that we have been in every particular correct. We shall continue to inform the Public upon the important circuit). stances of the times with the same temper, can. dour, and truth, that have uniformly characterised us.
