The FRENCH REPUBLIC.
IN the firft Number we attempted#
brief sketch of the rife, progress and
idueof the Ihe Eruption in the Fferrcli
„;Rejublic., nVe shall add, that after the
proscription of the two Directors, and
fifty odd Legifl^tors (thirteen of whom
were of the Council of Elders) the two
Councils direded warrants .to be iffueg
: c to those departments whole fy^ioas had
been declared void, to fill th, vacancies ;
& and the Council of Five Hun-
SEPT ' 7- dred proceeded to flea and fend
up to the Council of Elders, twentycan
didates for the office of Direßors.— From
whom The Elders eteaed by ballot
MERLIN (of pouai) late Mirim# of
Justice to supply the vacancy of Barthel,
emy, whohad near fyg years to ferve ;—
'anrf FRAN^OTS fetfyewfchaieau) late
Minister of /tie indoor, in the room of
Carnot; who accepted; and were inau.
gurated in form. Several changes in the
Miriiftry, canfequepilv took place.
A great part ot the bapithed Reprefen
tatives'were from the feuthern depart
ments: To guard agaiiift any cff&
which the measures just adopted nright
have in those departments, the Diredery
sap Ta. *" invehed with power to de
CT 'dare places in a rate of siege:
jin virtue of this power, after the army of
the Alps was joined to that of Italy, the
southern departments were declared to be
within the limits of the command cfGen.
7% ; who immediately issued
his ,roctemation to those departments,
informing xhemef hi; intention to march
;lwo divisions of bis army towards &m;
f " to defend the Conflitution of he 3d
:year; and to extirpate monarchy.-” —/'
At the Lft datg Joubert's andMaffena's
divisions liadvriived so France. Lyons,

" The Emperor should retain 11l via &

The Direflory ji filled, thatbe should
retain Dalmatia only ; that lAria fb juld
Ke glveh s, ; is, it in the hand ci the
Hou^ of Austria, it would menace the
lecurity of the city of Venice, and prove
injurious to the cpmmeroial rdulion>of
the nett Republic. The Emperor wa,
offered, m cimpenfitioo,a portion of Bi
varia.' „^.
The above we understand was the nl
timatem of each party, at the latest dates.
We have been informed, that before the
epoch of the: 4! h of September; the Di
rectory had ac,ejted to the claims of the
Emperor; on the perfeveriog demands
of Carnot and Barthelemy..; The prof
peas of Peace with Austria were tbe4
hrightning ; bpt after the txpulGonof
these members, the Dire&ry published
the address which we 1.14 before our
readers io the Centinel of Saturday last.
In tbisaddrefs are feed, the harbingers,of
are .commencement of hostilities. The
1 Diredory declare, that “to put an end
to thejeidißcfs of the cabine: cf Vienna,
and tolree Austria from Esgiifh influ ♦
ence, the only real obriacle to the peace
ofEurope, ttere i>but one mode left ;
that of again taking up aims," &c. It
has therfore ordered all the troops of the
rcquifitions,to join the armies by the 6th
October. We may thus conclude that
hoftiliries between Austria and Fcancr
.have recommenced ere this.
At Lisle, the negotiations continued
, until the Arrival of a new commissioner
^Citizen Treilhard) who Succeeded Leo
tourneur. At their firft meeting Treil
hard demanded of Lord Maltr fbury whe
ther he was impowered to treat with the
Republic on the basis of reftitotion of
all the conquers made by G, Brittain
from France and her allies, during the :
war ? To this his Lorc'fliip replied, that
he had nb fcch .powers [The places
which the Brirfh government demanded
to retain were, the Cape of Gjoc Hope.
Tirinidad and Ceylon.]—ln couftquence
Citizen Treilfednerified him of the ok
'Ufyolthe bi^agry for him to quit the
Republican -48 bourj; and obt-in foch
pozers.—rf Lord Mritofbury immediately
quitted Frauce,and arrived in London,
Sept, zoth] Thus the fair prospect of
Peace chilli had spread lu confiding in
fluence over half the globe, is again
enveloped in angry clouds ; which are
feot. .nothing bui fiery meteors, porten
tous of war, and all its coricomitauis.
When oh this head, it may be expelled
we fhoUld turn our attention to airioqui
„ry into the difpofiiion of.the French Re
4»lblic, as it , regards the United Stales of
America. Though tee have fought it
earndlly, we have not found it. Reports
atw, that the Diredory, notified of the ap
pointment of the Extra Commifioners,
had feut passports, and given orders,
that on their arrival in France, they
fhoold be fa ated wi h refpe&. This is
„all we have heard, and we have not this

CISALPINE REPUBLIC.
Tbis new Republic, whkh compre

the Empire, is completely organized.^-
Ithax hero acknowledged by the Fr.
Republic ; aad a treaty of
aug.2. abiauce riiasbc&nfcrmec !be-'

firft Ilenipotentiaiy, u^s, received in the
halt of the Directory ; arid exproffed, in
warm terms, the gratitude of his govern
ment, which, he laid, tok for its model
thet, to whose generofoy, bravery and
talents, it was incebtedlor its liberty.—
" Yes Citizens Directors," said he, r we
shall always be your allies. What do I
fay ? Allies 1 I should have laid, your
most faithful, and meft devoted friends.
Your cause shall be curs.r-Your exiff
ance will secure thatot the Cifiilpine Re
public ; and year ptofperity Shaft be
ours." The Ptefident of the Directory,
La Reveilliere Lepaux, made a very
lengthy &fpirired reply. 'lt is,'faid he,a
glorious day for the Republic when it re
ceives the envoy of a people become free
rhro' its means; that is placed in the
/rank of powers, and in the number of its
allies, no^iihllandimg .the secret preg
iices, and all disguised rancour of ifele :
who have everted then Selves so much tb
oblige them to abandon it to the chair's
and vengeance of its ancient,, mailers."
[This ftfeke we levelled at the m^jxcies
in the two Councils.] '' lib, the Cifal
pine Republic is net precarious ; and the
people wqo compole; it sra%§e allured,
that it will subsist with gleg, and be the
ally of Fiance?". Tbo' the Emperor
has refund to receive an Envoy from ir,
the political relations of this Republic
are extending—Citizen Caleppio, of Ber

and Citizen Magnani to the Court of
Tufeknjri' They are boih lawyers.—
%fkknot forpti^ fays 3' Cifalpine
writer, “ that in out Republic, the law
