Proclamation of Gem Mafcna to the
Amy of Italy.
Soldiers of the brave army of Ithly,
so refpeftable by its misfortunes, and
formerly so celebrated by its triumphs,
in accepridgthe honor of cbmmaiidhig
you, I have devoted toyfeif to die in-,
terefts ofiriy country, And I have yield
ed to the voice of an Hero, whose friend
ship and confidence have honored me.
I come to ffiarc in your fufferings, to
assuage and put a period to them.
Long since I mould have been in the
midst of you, if I had not conceived it
my duty, in the firll place, to direct my
attention to your wants. Your neces
sities are on the poiift of ceasing ; 1
have received the solemn promise of
the government ; I have myfelf taken
the proper meafures.to allure to you
every kind of assistance.
But whatever may have been the
extent of your, miseries, they cannot
equal the generosity and the devotion
of the French foldihrs. How Is it that
some of the corps have abandoned their
posts ? Do you think that the mother
country will not take account of your
facrifices ?
Soldiers, what is required in order to
bring vi&ory again beneath your ban

ought to be common. I owe you allmy
cares—you owe me all your confidence,
I depend on it, as you ought to rely
on me.
Ought I, my comrades, to speak any
other language to you ? Must I speak
of the severity I fhall/excrcife if you de
part from subordination and discipline,
which alone form your strength ? No,
I reje& an idea which affii&s me ; you
will never have any other motive for
your condud than duty, honour, &
the love of your country.

OF FRANCE,
'LONDON, JAN. 30.
^ Rftaions of a Councillor of State on tbefrjl
reply of Lord Grcmdlle.
Does this correspondence promise
peace, or does it announce the contin
iiance of the war ?:What are we to pre
sume of the principles and views of the
King of England, and the principles
and views of the- Chief Confhl ? These
are the questions which every one asks.
The King of England expresses him
felf with vehemence against the system
of aggreffon and extermination, which .
he attributes to France. But all these
charges apply to other times andto ano
ther Government.
The King of England desires the fe
eftablifhment of the dynasty that for
merly reigned in France : but he does
not attach exclusively to that event the
possibility of solid and durable pacifica
tion.
The King of England announces
that the sole defence which he can pos
sibly adopt is that of open hostility;
but he speaks of his defence against the
antient principles of the French Gov
ernment ; and that affedatiom of open
hostility, that affedation so unusual in
diplomacy, and not natural to deep
and irreconcileable enmities, because it
never assists and often injures them,
flews much more the desire of manag
ing his allies, than that of remaining
irreconcileable to his enemies.
The King of England appears not to
acknowledge the First Consul of the
Republic ; but he did not yet know the
Tefult of the votes for the new Confti
tutian, and the inventing of the three
ffirft Magistrates of the State. Besides,
the noil-acknowledgement at this mo
ment of the Chief Consul does not in-
Terdid him from conceding to him
without contest all that he ihall have
a right to demand, when he fliall be ac
knowledged.
The nun-acknowledgment of the Con
sular authority in Buonaparte, places
pacific negotiations less at a diflance
than they would be, if there were a con^
test refpeAing the views of Buonaparte,
acknowledged Chief of the Republic.
Perhaps the Consul is not acknowledge
ed from a fear of having to cede too
much to the equitable Negotiator.
On the fide of the Court of London,
Peace then is not out of all probabili
ty ;but what renders it likely, is this
important truth, of which grateful
France ought to take notice, that^
Buonaparte wishes for Peace, and that
he takes frankly and warmly fqch mea
sures as may procure it, and such dis
positions as arc necessary to render it
honourable.
It imports but little that the Court
of London hesitates for a moment in
recognizing in'him the worthy head
of the State ; that hesitation can be but
momentary either at London or in any
other Court. If among the Potentates
of Europe, there is one who can fay.
« I labor for the public godfl.eighteen
hours a day ; I embrace with equal at
tention all the branches of the Govern
ment; I watch with equal fohcitude
.over the rights and mterells of all , I
have removed all the prefer,ptions I
found edabliflicd ; I remedy all cala
mities T find to be imminent '; I am the
iman who carries on war the best, and
II do all in my power to procure peace.
I am surrounded with all the men of
talents I could obtain ; I have feleded
them from all parties, to unite them in
the public service ;I have Inspired the
Citizens with moderation by my lessons
and example; I am the hope of the peo
ple, and the darling of the army." —
If there is a Potentate who can render
himfelf a similar testimony, he alone
has a right to fay to Buonaparte "Noth
ing binds me to seek your alliance,noth
ing forces me to admire you !"
—l—
=— LONDON, FEB.fr
The Whig Club met yesterday. The
Mayor was in the Chair. Mr. Fox
observed, he continued of opinion that
retirement was the wisest course he could
pursue His experience in the House
;of Commons the day before in debate
,I on Buonaparte's overtures had confirm
ed him. All his efforts had only ob
tained three votes in addition to those
who usually concurred with hi n. “No
one doubts, said he, if the Minister had
adopted an opposite conduct, and had
opened a Negotiation with Buonaparte,
the House of Commons would have
given an unanimous vote in his favor.
All control over Ministers is gone, and
nothing remains but to obey thefn.—
Whether they desire war or peace,
Parliament blindly adopts their opin
ions, and all efforts to refill them must
be ineffectual." He believed public
opinion was with him, he said he ihould
always feel for his country, and when
ever there was a chance of his doing
any good, he ihould readily come for
ward.
The Duke of Norfolk congratulat
ed the Members, that the Livery of
London, in spite of the efforts of the
Minidry, bad chofcn the man of their
own hearts as their Mayor.
Mr. Erskine said the only part of
the nation not tarnilhed by the war,
was the navy ; that he, was an old sail
or, and when he went to the House
of Commons the last night with Mr.
Fox, he said to himfelf, like old Jack,
" I'll go any where with my friend."
Mr. Sheridan said he did not yet
despond like Mr. Fox ; and for this
reason had attended more to Parlia
ment. ,
Mr. Sheridan wished the whole king
dom could have heard the excellent
argument of his Honourable Friend
(Mr. Fox) on Monday night, as it
must have convinced every impartial
man, and he could not deny that he
had just reason for disgust, in finding
it could only perfiiade three members
of the Houle of Commons. He wish
ed the public hgd heard that argu
. ment, which, with so much truth, had
Rated this to be a new zra in the war.
Mr. Sheridan Would not be discourag
ed by the disparity of numbers in the
House of Commons, if such a speech
as that of his Honourable Friend
cdtild be heard by the nation at large.
The public would then enforce his ar
guments. Mr. Sheridan did not wiih
to despair of the Spirit and principles of.
the country, and quoted the conduct
of the City of London, in clewing their
present Chief Magistrate in juftification
of his hopes. The public attention
Ihould be drawn to the new war, in
which the people were to Spend their
blood and treasure to restore the Bour
bons, and Support their Sacred and
imprescriptible rights. What would
be the surprise of the man whose me
mory the Society commemorates (Will
iam III.), if he could look down and
fee us fightirg.for the indefcafible rights
of the Bourbons ? To that family which
'ire note febt to restore, nue are obliged for our na
tional debt. Ry referrence to them, ice may divide
that debt into taco parts ; tbefr, balf has teas con
traded to defray the Bourbons ; the fecund half has
been contraded to rtf ore them.
Government has revoked the Quarantine or
der refpe&ing vuffcls from N. York and Phila
delphia.
Capt. Hamilton of the Surprize, who re
took the Hermione, has been knighted for that
#a.
The price of bread continues to rife.
Several vessels have of late arrived,
dire& from Malaga, by which there
have been large supplies of Spanish
wines and fruits, and We are pleased
to find, that they have also brought
confideiable quantities of barilla, with
some Spanish Wool, and other valuable
raw materials. Thus we find, that
though it is a time of war between
Great Britain and Spain, ret a com
mercial intercourse is still k,t up, and
vast quantities of British woolens, and
Irish linens, likewise find their way in
^ to the latter country, through the me
dium of Portugal, and by neutral vess
els. .—
A letter from the northward of Be n
gal fays, “ The customs and manners
of the natives of this part 6f India dif
fer materially from all other. When
ever any of the Rajahs, magistrates or
principal, men die, they dig a large
cave for the deceased, in which they
inter his women, attendants ,and ser
vants, and some of the magnificent
equipage and ufeful furniture which he
possessed in his life time, such as ele
phants, gold and silver, large fans, car
pets, clothes, visuals, lamps, with a
great deal of oil, and a torch bearer,

FRANCE. TRIBUNATE, FEB. 3.
THE President mentioned, that
Felix Faulcon wiihed. to make,
some observations on the death of
WASHINGTON, [Several members
opposed bis freaking, by calling the order of tbe da.
In tbe midfi of their murmurs, Faulcon fended tbe
'Tribune.]
" I am come," said he," to speak of
a loss which will leave a deep, a lalting
regret, wherever there are freemen, arid
which indeed is in some fort national,
though it may a,pear foreign to France.
WASHINGTON is no more !—the
tomb ha^fwwllowed up the man who
was die rodel of Republican virtue.
« Thisis not'the moment to retrace
in this Hall all that that great man'
has done for the freedom of America;'
the number and importance of his war-I
like exploits ; the generous infpiration|
with which he animated the French ;
who fought Under him ; and the Tub-|
lime ad by which he did eternal hon-:
or to his memory, when, after having ;
contributed so much to give freedoml
to his country, he laid down voluntari
ly, the supreme power, to hide his glo
ry in the obscurity of private life.
“ Malice and mean jealousy have at
tempted to foread a deadly venom over
so great 3 life ; but their perfidious in
sinuations are loft in the universal fuf
frages. bi tys grateful fellow-patriots, and of all
the free nan in the universe.
“ Yet hi is no more ; the hero whose eulogi
tm afford, pleafare to great minds ; who has
doubly merited tut civic palm, both as a war
rior and aja citizen ; who combined every vir
tue with crery talent ; who, after having begup
and fuppirted the revolution by his abilities,
his valour and virtue, knew how to terminate it
by the moderation as well as the wildom of his
counsels ; who has done more yet than render
his countrymen free, who. has rendered them
happy.
“ Oh Legislators ! feel you not your fouls
swell at these illustrious recollections, which,
by a privilege worthy to be envied, are connec
ted wrip' nothing to be regretted, and create
none bit sweet and elevated emotions ? Do you
not deire that this Tribune, nubere zueare for
bidden & mix our voices in legfative difetfions,
Ihould It least serve to shew the impression of
our gratitude, of our veneration, of our unani
mous farrow ? Do you not feel the necessity of
joining our portion of funeral praise to that
which all free people will address to the manes
of the magnanimous WASHINGTON ! and
which we owe him still more particularly,—we
amoig whom the dearie example of the Ame
ricah Revolution sowed the firfl feeds of the de
sire of Independence ?"
After this panegyric he moved, that the
President should on the 24th Frimaire, (Dec..
14th) the anniversary of the day of the Gen
erals death, deliver an Oration in honor of the
Heto, whose loss every one deplores.
ftefh opposition was heard ; and repeated
cries for the order of the day.
A Member moved that the motion be ad
journed, the death of WASHINGTON not be
ing officially ±nown.
Legrand expressed deep te^ret at the death
of such a man ; but would it not, he aiked, be
dangerous, or at Icaft inconvenient, to raise a
monument of praise which has not been granted
to other men dear to humanity ; and to adopt
the initiative tow aids a foreigner ; for such is
the proposal ? He, therefore, was in favour of
passing to the business of the day. The order
of the day Was agreed to.

Washington is no more! That great man

to every friend to Freedom in the two worlds,
and cfpecially to the French Soldiers, who, like
him, and the Americans, bravely light for Lib

PROM EUROPE.
:^,ISINGE our last, there has been an ar
irival from England, which has brought down
the London dates to Feb. 13th. —No event of
very great importance has transpired.—That
of the ^reateft iotereft, is the feeeffion of the
Ruffian forces, from the allied armies opposed
to France. This event is announced, as certain,
in a Hamburg paper, of Feb. 4th ; and is com
mented on as probable, in the London Govern
mental Gazettes. The cause of the final rup
ture is not assigned; but the British Govern
ment is taking measures to heal the breach, &
to unite the Emperors. In the mean time the
Ruffian troops continue in Bavaria, where they
are new clothed and recruited.
No military operations of moment had tak
en place. The French army, under Moreau,
occupied the left, and were making prepara
tions to pass over to the right bank of the
;Rhine. The Archduke Charles had his head
quarters at Donauefchingen, in Swabia ; and
had detached 12,600 men to reinforce Generals
Melas and Klanau, in Italy, where Gen. Maff+
ena had gained some advantages in the vicinity
of Coni. In both armies, which extend from
Mentz to Zurich, every thing was in prepara
tion for an immediate opening of a Very san
guinary campaign.
Preparations indicate tint another [Pertofat]
expedition is on foot in England, against France,
or Holland ,- —the former most probably. It
is to be commanded by the gallant Abercrom
bie; and the Ruffian troops lately employed id
Holland, which have been cantoned iq Quern
fey, are to assist in it, under the command of
the Count Viomenil, an officer of gre& ability,
and who served in the United States, under
General Rochambeau. The French arp in

Various afpeds ; —she Chouans, like hornets,
are no sooner beaten in one quarter, than they

He has ordered the erasure of many of their
chiefs from the lift of emigrants ; has direfted
that the ancient Priests be permitted to officiate
in the chapels, as formerly , and that a general
amnesty ihould be granted to those who sur
rendered their arms. It was said that foany
of the chiefs had embraced the Conful' sterms ;
and that peace would in al! probability i'pecdi

The union of Ireland with Great-Britain ar
rests much of the public attention in both king
doms. On the sth of February, the fubje&
was submitted to the Confederation of the Irish
Parliament, by a Royal Message. By tbe ar
ticle of union, Ireland is to become an integral
part of the kingdom, which after Jzn. 180 T,
is to bear the name of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland ; —which is to be re
presented by one Parliament to which Ireland
is to fend thirty-two Peers, and one hundred
Commoners; and the Churches of Great-Bri
tain and Ireland, are to be united into one
'Church. The Qneftion to take the Message
into consideration brought forth all the force of
the oppofera of the Union; and the debate
wds carried with an unusual decree of acrimo
ny. The motion was notwithstanding carried
162 to 116. Great tumults were occasioned
by the measure, in Dublin; and a strong mili
tary force was employed to proted the Union
Members from outrage.
