It is now confidently aflerted
that rhe German Empre, Spain,

Wsee on the terms preferibed by
the French Republic. The won
derful fuccefles of our armies in
wHatey^r they undertake, the for
midable attitude of a free and
energetic people, wbofe strength
jncreafes in the fame degree, as the
power Jof its enemies flat kens,
leaves nd other choice to those
kingr Mrc allowed to capitu
late, bpt t^fubmit their fate to
the generoftty of the French, of
to fee in the next campaign their 3
1 secrets broken and their thrones
overthrown. ;
The arrival of thePruflian bar

ifter baron de Staal r contributes
finguhriy to confirm-the general
reports of peace, and the depar
ture of Merlin de T^wnuillt on a
fecrec million, a circumstance an
nounced at the tribune by Meriin
himfelf, coincide with the arrival
of those two foreign negociators
Botfly d' Anglas in his report of
Jan. 30, announced the will of the
French people to Europe; the
Rhine i$ marked out as :a barrier
against Germany, the top of rhe
Alps and Pyrenean movmtains of
fer the republic a more formidable
bulwark than the formidable wall
which separates China I rom Tar
tary. Austria must renounce all
claims to ihe Netherlands, Dutch
Brabant, Flanders, and. Limburg,
Ihail be incorporated with the re
public; Prufiia must resign for
ever the sovereignty over Guel
ders and one half of the dutchy
of Cleve : a formal ceflion of the
duchy of Juliers and part of the
palatinate is the fine demanded
from the eledor palatine of Bava
ria.

pain of being eiafed from the lift

the mention of that name; all
France is roufrd and swears ven

The armies of the North and Ar
