«U resources to annihilate this coalition
of the evil-disposed :
Ccnfidering, in short, th.t determined
not to submit to the tyranny of a Con*
vention thatb-s sworn to ruin the Na
tion, the people of Toulon, and those
of Marfeilks, would have recoUrfe to
the gencrofity of a loyal-people, who
* have mao i felled the desire of protc&ißg
the true Fienchmcn again ft the anar.
chills who wish to ruin .them,
Declare to Admiral Hoob, -
I. That the unanimous wish of the
inhabitants of Toulon is to reject a Cou
fliturion which does not promote their
happiness, co adopt a Monarchic Govern
ment, such as it was originally by the
Cynflituent Ajfembly of 1789; and, in
confcqucnce,they have proclaimed Louis
XVII. Sen of Louts XVL King, and
have sworn to acknowledge him, and no
longer fuffer the defpodfm of the Ty
rants, which at this time govern France.
11. That the White Flag shall be
hoisted the instant the Epgliih Iquadroo
anchors in the road of Toulon, and will
there meet the most friendly teception.
111. That the ftUps of war now in
the road will be di farmed according to
Admiral Hood’s wisher.
JV. That the Citadel and Forts on the
coast shall be provisionally at the dispo
sal of the said Admiral; but for the
bitter ellablifhing the union which
ought to exist between the two people,
it is requeued that the garrison shall be
competed of an equal number of French
and English, and chat nevertheless the
command shall devolve to the En
g ifh. ,
V. The people of Toulon trust the
English Nation will furnilh speedily a
force fffHicient to assist in repelling the
attacks with which they are at this mo
ment threatened by the army of Italy,
which marches towards Toulon and by
that of General Cartau, who directs his
forces again!! Marseilles. >
VI. That the people of Toulon, full
of confidence in the generous offers of
Admiral Hood, trust that all those who
held civil and military employments
shall be continued in their places, and.
shall not be annoyed in their xefpedive
capacities.
Vil. That the substance and fuccours
of every kind, of which Toulon Hands
so much in need, will be allured to the
inhabitants by the combined fleet of the
Powers coalesced,
VIII. That when peace will have
been re-eftabli!hed in France, the ships
and forts which will be put into the hands
of the Enghih, shall be restored to the
French Nation, in the fame state they
wete in when the inventory was deliver
ed.
It is according to this declaration, if
approved by Admiral Hood that the
Touldnefe will regard themselves with
good heart and will,as belonging to the
Hnglifh and the other Powers coalesced,
and by whose fuccour will be brought a
bout that peace after which they have
panted so long.

ft I coatinue to receive assurance frcm
him (the Minister for foreign affair?) of
the desire of this government so to con*
dud the measures they think themselves
juftified in pursuing towards the neutral,
powers as to render them as little detri
mental to our commerce, as the state of
warfare existing in Europe will admit.
And on complaint of some irregularities
committed by Britiih privateers, he rb
quefted me to feled some instances,
where the evidence is clear, in order for
criminal prosecutions to be inftituicd
against the offenders; in which he prom 4
ifed the fulleft support of the Law Of--
fleers of the crown ; and lam now en
deavouring to fix upon Brong cases,
where our evidence may be fufficient to
ensure convidion. L believe it to be
the desire, both of the government and
of the people in general here, to be upon
good terms with us ; but the line of cotr*
dud pursued to the neutral powers, m
which I do not perceive any strong
symptom of relaxation, cannot but cre* z
ate diffatisfadion. From the department
of State 1 generally obtain explicit an*
fwers on such fubjeds as they are com
petent to decide ; but where referrenc*

the delays are very great, especially in
the business with the admiralty/*

THE Female citizen Mirabeau,
mother of the two famous brothers
of the fame name, was arretted the day
before yesterday, and committed to
prison.
The Fifhwoman who aded so conspic
uous a part in bringing about the revolu
tion, will probably have a great (hare in
its delhudion. Those dangerous ladies
insult the news carriers of the patriotic
papers, especially that diabolical produc
tion called La Pere Ducbefne. One hun
dred of them seized a Vender of that
paper,.and swore to flrangle him if he
uttered a- word : they then pelted him
with mud.
The female citizen Olympia Gouges,
has been guillotined, notwrthftsnding
her pleading pregnancy- - The bloody
fpefiacle of the guillotine seems toes,
rage the people. On the fame day when
Valaxe slabbed himfelf, a national light
horfeman, condemned to die, flung him
felf over the* balluflardes of the revolu
tionary tribunal, and would infallibly
have ftsbbed the Judge, had he not been
disarmed.
A great number of cutlafles have been'
found in the Conciergerie, and the Jac
obins seem inwardly to tremble for their
fafety. - " ,- ' *^s
