Suspension of the War again.
FRANCE.'
The General of Division, Chief of the Staff, to the
Minister at War.,
Heid-Quarters, at Stever, Dec. 26,
Bth year of the Republic,
Citizen Minifler,
The Archduke Charles has ^ropokd an
Armistice to the General in Chief, announc
ing at the fame time; that the Emperor had
sent a courier to M. de. Cobentzel w ith or
ders TO SIGN THE PEACE.
Th§: Generally Chief considering that
the line of the Traun and the Enns was forc
ed, that we were two leagues in advance of
the other armies, and already on the rear of
the Austrian army in Italy : and that by con
sequence, Gen. Bellegarde might make a de
tatchment, which, joining the troops left in
the Tyrol, might come upon our rear, and
interrupt bur communication with France,
has judged it proper to consent to a suspen
sion of arms, which procuring us great ad
vantages, might at the fame time enable us
to wait the movements of the army of Italy
from which we have as yet received no in
telligence.
The charader of the Archduke Charles,
his well known honor were guarantees of
the desire the Emperor had to terminate the
war, to which he was besides compelled by
the deplorable Rate of his army which,
having loft in 20 days 70 leagues of ground
25,000 prisoners, 12 or 15,000 killed and
wounded, 140 pieces of cannon, and im
inenfe magazines, was no longer able, nor
could be in 3 months, to prevent our armies
from conquering the whole of Austria, and
didating the law in the capital. But to do
this without danger it would be neceflary
that the army of Italy should be already
matter of the head of the defiles.
The general in chief besides, conceived,
that to hop in the midst of the molt brilliant
victories was conformable to the character
of moderation by which the First Consul
had distinguished himfelf in the eyes of all
Europe.
I have the honor totranfmit to you a copy
of the convention for an armistice. The
Emperor will immediately treat for peace,
whatsoever may be the determination of his al
lies; and our line, which is supported by the
Danube and the mountains, putting us in
poifeflion of Kuffetein, Scharniz, Brauhan,
&c. enables us to recommence the war with
the greatest advantages, and above all; with
the utmost security, .
Health and refpe&,
Signed, DEbOLLES.
Then follows the convention entered into between
the French Gens. Moreau and Lahorie, and the
archkuke Charles and major Count de Grime on the
tart of Aullria, by which hofitlities have chafed, and
the French hold the moji important places of de
fence: The conditions are moderate, as they pre
scribe no further conctfions than those offered to
Austria before her late difafers, The left bank
of the Rhine is to be the boundary of the Republic.
The Emperor has sent orders to Count Cobentzel
at Lunewile, to sign the Peace.—On the 25th Dec.
Gen. Brune, iu Italy, defeated the army command
ed by Gen. Hohenzollern and Bessy, with the lfs
ofl2ooo men, 8000 of whom were taken prisoners
and 24 pieces of cannon.

Messrs. Nutting & Whitelock,
WHILE my h^art vibrated with grati
tude to the great a ut hor of all goodness, for
so wifely difppfing of the supreme magistra

truly !—Felicity indeed! to every Ameri

American empire, once unparalleled in
prof?erity, now with feeble refinance, link

Wretched but arms compassionately offering
assistance but, in vain : Finally, in her dy

eager grasp tears her from her wretched si

piercing eyes, watches and proteas her
from the invafiohs of her numerous foes.
Before the eleaion a veil of despondency
hung around me ; I was enveloped in a
cloud of darkness ; knowing not whether
it were belt to cultivate my little farm, or
turn it to commons ; while an avaricious
group of monopolizing, office-hunting old
Tories reaped the benefit of all my toil and
labours. If money could have been a mean
of placing some true republican in the Pre

voted my whole elUte to that beneficial use.
