" Now that our triumphs follow
one another wi:h a rapidity unknown
in the annak of fame, it has been pre

all Europe, and that it meant co id.

State w'nh which ithf war; but
these lying infinuatiGna are io scouted
by the public, that they require no

and which, to aggravate their defeat,
expofe# them to the hatred of the na

that moment shall the Sun of Peace
rife. Already the Colorful of the con
federacy totters from its bale, and the
force of events has strengthened the
still weak empire of region and hu
manity in the principal political cabi
net#. Several States, which have
hitherto been under the oppreffire if
cendancy of other#, more powerful
than ihemfelves, have, with warm
emulation, accepted the olive branch
es which France prefent# to her con
quered foes. Armifticet, dilated by
generoficy, and accepted with confi
dence, have suspended in the South
of Italy the scourge of war ; solid
treaties, formed for the mutual advan

triving in the interior, upon the basis
of fair negotiation, inviting the French
to share in a noble, but not exclusive
elevation.<
"A great part of Germany has
got a refphe from the calamities of
war, in conftquerce of the armistic
es which have been just concluded
with the Duke of Wartemberg, the
Margrave of Baden, and the other
States in the circle of Suabia. The
advantages refukiog to the Republic
io this quarter alone, amount taw

"The army of the Sambre and
