TARIS, JULY 3.
Return of TOONAPA RTE so Parh.
; r I 'HE Chief Consul a rived here at half past
1 two yefterd-y morning. He left Miiart the
<sth of June and sapped at Verceilles, w"here
he received a rifit from the Cardinal Biihop
whom he received with diftin&ion. This re
& Ipedsble prelate penetrated with gratitude by
the efforts of the French armies for the deliver
' ance of Italy, had already caused Ze beam to
F f bc chaunted in returning thanks.
The 26th in the morning the First Consul
arrived at Turin, visited the citadel, & review
ed the division of General Thurreau. Between
the tight of the 26th and 27th he passed Mount
Cenis; the 28th in the morning he arrived at
Chambery, and at night at Lyons, where he a
lighted at the Ccleftins. He received in this
last commune a visit from the Prefect, and all
the civil and military authorities, who came to
present their homage of public gratitude. He
also received the Committee of Commerce ; he
encouraged it and entered into conversation with
it, which presaged that, after having rendered
our army illustrious in war, he will attend with
no less fucctfs to every thing which may contri
bute to the encrcafc of commerce and public
prosperity during peace. The First Consul
could not refuse to flop at Lyons to lay there
the tirft stone in the building of the place of
Bellecour# He went from the house of the Pre
fed, where all the constituted authorities had
affeipbled to accompany him. The First Con
sul was on horseback. The garrison was in bat
tle array on the spot; he reviewed it ; and in
the midfl of the joyful acclamations of an im
mense croud, justly indulging the hope of the
return of their former prosperity, he laid the firft
stone, which was presented to him with due cer
emony. He then returned to the House of the
Prefect, where he dined, and mounted his car
riage to continue his journey.
The 30th of June, at ftven in the morning,
he arrived at Dijon. The Counfellor of State,
Brune, General in Chief of the Army of Re
serve, and the principal Officers, came to meet
him. The First Consul reviewed the Army ;—
he Shewed the molt lively fatisfaaion at the
good Rate and discipline of the troops composing
it, as also at the ardour of this army, which
burns to shew itfclf worthy of the fame acquir
ed by that which preceded it, by immortalizing
itfelf in Italy. After the review, the First Con
sul breakfafted with Gen. Brune, and slept at
Lucy-le- Bois.
The ill of July, at four in the morning, he
set out for Paris, where he arrived in the night,
b^ween that and the 2d. He was not ex
peeled until the night of the 2d ; but he thus
avoided the honors which the national gratitude
wished to Show on his arrival. It was from the
fame sentiment of modelly, admirable compan
ion of a great man, that by the orders given to
the poftillions on his journey, he fought to avoid
the general enthusiasm that awaited his passage.
But in vain. Every where the heart foretold|
him, and he was, in spite of himfelf,a witness
of national gratitude. At Montreau, the wheel
of his carriage flew off the axletree, and the car
riage was overfet. Fortunately this accident
was not attended with any dangerous conse
quence. The First Consul received a flight con
tusion, but it did not alarm him. Citizen Bou
rienne, his private Secretary, who with Citizen
Duroc had accompanied him from Milan, re
ceived a more violent contusion in the head, but
not dangerous. The second of July, the First
Consul, accompanied by his two colleagues, re
ceived the visits of the Miniflers, the Counfel
lors of States and general Officers, At one
o'clock the Frtfidents of the Conservative Sen
ate, of the Legislative Body and Tribunate, and
a large majority of these three authorities, came
to congratulate him on his victories and return.
At II o'clock, when the Consuls, and the Sec
retary of State entered the house of the First
Consul, the guns of the Thuilleries, and those
of Montmartre, announced his arrival. He
converted about three quarters of an hour on the
campaign, the circumstances which led him to
hope for peace, &c. without any appearance of
fatigue. The First Consul hopes for a speedy
peace. The Austrian troops wiSh for it as well as
France. Should the gold and intrigues of
- capable of delaying it ?
General Caffcrelli yesterday received a box,
scaled up for the First consul, from five ladies,
under a promise he would not difeover their
names ; when opened, it presented a crown of
laurel with lome complimentary lines.
Buonaparte has left Italy more favorably in
clined than ever to the French. The Austrian
cudgel has not made the Imperial authority beloved.
On the arrival of the First Consul yesterday,
an immense crowd filled the terrace and the
courts of the Thuilleries. Never did joy, con
tent and gratitude glow more universally on ev
ery countenance. This night all Paris is illumi
nated. —>
Carnot, in an address to the Prefects
and the Generals of the different de
partments of France, so far from con
sidering peace as certain, exhorts then!
to prepare for anew fccnce of warfare,
and accelerate the departure of the se
cond class of conscripts, " in order to
make a lad and terrible irruption into
the enemy's territory." This however,
were it .unconnected with any other cir
cumstances, might be considered as lit
tle more than a boaflful expedient of
intimidation ; and, indeed, the Minis
ter at War admits, in a great measure,
that such is actually his objed : He
fays, that while France continues to
present hefelf to foreign powers in this
commanding posture of concentrated
and victorious force, they will not be
induced to “ reject that peace that is
again offered to them, and which their
reverses have not rendered more se
vere." The terms now offered not be
ing more severe than those proposed by
Buonaparte previous to the fate succes
ses of the Republican arms, Carnot ve
ry artfully describes them as a frefh
proof of moderation on the part of the
conquerors ; and expressly hates, that
if they are resisted, " it will be necessa
ry to make a final effort, and to dilate
the peace which they now offer."
From Italy there is particular news.
Maffena is organizing the several French
armies in that country which are said
to consist of no less than 1(0,000 men.
Prince Charles, it is said, will resume
the command of the Army of the
Danube : and it is confirmed, that 30
battalions of reserve, with 10,000 Hun
garian horse would immediately move
to its relief. The corps of Conde will
al'o be united to this body.

LONDON, JULY 16.
PARIS, JULY 15.
It is probable that the arrival at Paris of the
Count de St, Julich is not solely to negotiate
refpe&ing the genera! armistice. Ie is believed
with reason, that his mission will lay the base of
peace, and woe to the powers that Ihould hope
to profit by the disposition of the Government
to flop the effufion of human blood, in order
to form frefh alliances and calculate upon hew
coalitions! That which might be done under
the Diredory will certainly not be effeded
now.
From the sensation which the news of the
cessation of hostilities has produced, we may
predi& the joy which the certainty of peace
will occasion. If since the 18th Brumaire there
has been an epoch in which the French felt
more deeply how much it is to their advantage
to trust their defliny to a Chief Magistrate, it
is without doubt now, when politics are about
to render the moll signal victories profitable to
Europe. Never were the people more convin
ced of the faults of the Directory, and never did
they ffiew more confidence in the Inccefs of
negotiations. Every one feel, that to speak in
the name ofa nation covered with glory, one
ought to have oncfelf a great renown. For
merly pretentions were substituted for dignity,
and objeds were haughtily insisted upon which
were not worth a discussion. In a word, they
pleaded for peace, instead of concluding it.
Such was the mode of conduct pursued at Raf
tadt. Undoubtedly the belligerent powers will
oppose to us Ikillful negotiators; but it is pro
bable that we (hall present heroes to them, and
thus diplomatic cunning will for once find her
felf in the presence of military glory. Europe
was unacquainted With advocates, who were by
turns Orators, Legislators, Directors, and Di
plomatics ; but the is perfectly well acquainted
with our warriors.
We do not place much credit in the assertion,
that the King of Prussia, has sent off couriers to
announce His Majefty', wilh to interpose as a
mediator for a general peace. Such a with is
never announced by couriers, Powers do not
Ten thousand Batavian troops are already ar
rived at Duffeldorf ; it is said to be the advan
ced guard of the army. They are to serve in
Germany. It is likewise said, but not with a
ny degree of certainty, that Count Cobenzell
has had confidence with the Ruffian and Prrf
fian Minified at Carlsbad, and that they are
negotiating a General Peace on the continent.
On the ißth, about toco or 1200 French
troops suddenly entered Ratifbon; but it is
hoped that in confequer.ee of the armistice
(which is very different from that concluded in
Italy, inasmuch as it is indefinite and is already
ratified by the Court of Vienna) they will eva
cuate it without laying it under contribution.

HAMBURGH, JULY „.
The Armistice has just been extended to the
armies of Germany, and upon the fame condi
tions as that of Italy. AClions wefe fought up
to the 16th, even to the gates of Ratifyon : but
on the 19th hostilities ceased. The fortreffes
of Fhilliplburgh, of Wurtzburg, and of Ingol
fladt remain in the power of the Imperialists.
There is no doubt but that the Court of Vienna
will endeavor to prolong an armistice, which
will give it time to recover itfelf, to reinforce
its armies, and above all to procure, if that is
possible, new allies on the continent. Humiliat
ed, but not entirely dispirited by its defeats, it
will never confcnt to a difgraceful Peace, but
in the last extremity. Gen. M&, is about to
be difmifred, and will be, it is said, replaced by
Gen. Kray, who is not to be succeeded by the
Archduke Charles, in compliance with the ge
neral wilh of the army, but by the Field-Mar
shall Count J. de Collcredo. Gen. Sztarry is
recalled. No news is received from the army,
because the prohibition of writing from it is re
newed, under the most heavy punishment.
The army of Gen. Kray, will never regain
the spirit with which it was animated at the
commencement of the campaign, except under
the Archduke Charles, who mull sooner or lat
er be put at its head.

MUNICH, JULY 16.
Immediately after the arrival of Count Die
trichftein, from Vienna, at the Headquarters
of Gen. Gray, the Generals Moreau and Kray
had a conference together on the 13th, at Paf
dorf, five leagues from this city. After a long
negotiation, and after each party had receded
somewhat from its firft demands, yester
day evening, about five o'clock, an armistice
was concluded, which may be considered as the
dawn of the peace so earnestly hoped for. So
soon as the armistice shall be ratified by the
Emperor, of which no doubt is entertained, a
Congress for a peace will be held in a neigh
bouring Imperial city.
MANHEIM, JULY !,.
The Courier who lately passed through Straf

dispatches imported that the Court of Vienna
was willing to enter into negociations for Peace
with France.
>ONSTANTINO>LE, JUNE „.
THE evacuation of Egypt by the French has
again met with difficulties. The French,
we are allured, required that Cairo, Alexandria,
and the surrounding country Ihould be declared
either independent, or under their protection.
The Forte, however, will confect to neither of
these proposals; and on the 2zd it was unani
mously resolved in the Divan to fend another
army, confiding entirely of Europeans, with a
new General in Chief to Jaffa.
The army of the Gi and Vizier, which at
firft was said to amount to 150,000, is now, by
the desertion of the Asiatics, reduced to 20,000.
The plague has likewise broken out in his
camp, and one of his bell Generals died of iu

We are allured that the Court of Vienna has
returned an aofwer to the First Consul's propo
sals for Peace, importing that the Emperor
wishes for Peace not less than Fiance : but for
one that Shall be general and durable ; and
durable it cannot be, if the Cifalpine Republic
fhaH be again established, the exigence of which
is alike dangerous to the exigence of Italy and
of the Aullrian Hereditary States.—Should,
however, the re-establishment of this Republic
be made a conditio Jine qua non, it remains to be
considered what France will propole for the
security and indemnification of Austria. This
aofwer is esteemed so accommodating, that ne
gotiations are expected to be immediately com
