REPORT,
Made to the National Convention of France, on the
fubjeci of Peace.
BOISSY d’Anglas Ipoke to the order of the day,
and made a detailed report on the fiiuation of
ibis vaft empire ; ite relation with other people of
Europe, and the true intereft of the latter with ref
pe-ct to France.
•« The moment draws near,” fiid lie, “ when
Europe, exbaulted and humbled, will be obliged to
lue for peace, when ail courts interelted in the con
tinuation of the war, but unable to fupport it, will
endeavour to reprefent you as the authors of all the
calamities of war if peace is no.’ reftored to this
continent. You will difpole yooidefignS with can
dor, and refute with energy th« atrocious inculpa
tions your enemies intend to brand you with.
“The formal ceremonies of an alftluous policy
will give way to the franknefs and energetical lim
pltcity of a free pei .de. Defpois formed a league
againtt us, minifters planned our deltruction, the
armies of Europe formed but une immenfe holt, and
moved like an impetuous torrent againtt us—but the
intrepidity of the regenerated French in repulfittg
: liofe foreign hordes lias proved that we are worthy
if being free. The dream of conquering Republic
cans is over ; they endeavour to calumniate us. We
have no longer any thing to dread from K.INOS.
Their rage is a flgn of impotence j their valiant
troops are every where pm to Sight: the rights of
nations, rheir opinions will always be (acred in our
ey es ; however we cannot luff.r our intetiiiuns to be
calumniated.
“ The rations ofEuropehave groaned under the
weight of taxes and famine thefe two years. Kings
induce them to believe that we alone are avcrle to
peace ; that thirfty after blood and treafures, we
ftrive fnr norlaing but plunder and conquelts.
“ For the fake of humanity let us pull off the
Machiavelic tnalk the crowned tyrants cover thent
felves with. Let us prove that we are willing to
put an cncl ro the war, tnougn we ao noc rear it,
that we conclude a peace because we Jove our fellow
men j but let us prove alfo, that tedious or unim
portant negotiations will never induce us to fufpend
the triumphant inarch of our armies. It is now
wlien our armies march triumphant into Holland,
ami effect the conqueft of the feeven Piuvinces in Id's
time than one would fpend in takings curfory view
j of thole countries; it is now the mi lit of fuccefses
and victorious, that we off-r the olive branch to
our enemies.
“ The low cunning of Auftria, tSe pride ofRuffia
| and the eccentric ambition of England, have {pread
mitery and destruction all over the world. It is to
them we owe nil the calamities under which Eu
rope now labors. The policy of Vienna has long
finceheen unveiled. The partition of Poland, the
invjjiou, and afterwards the propped exchange of
Batavia, the war againfc the Ottoman Porte, have
fufficiently difcloi'ed thj ambitious views ofAuftria j
aggrandizement is the conftjitti object of folicitude.
Leopold perfuaded the powers of Europe t® join a
, gainft us ; he hoped ro detach Alface and Lorraine
from France ; what good have all thefc intrea^ues
produced for Auftria ? France fees his formidable
artni.vs deftroyed, his finances exhaufted, his credit
annihilated, his artillery taken, and the reputa
tion ofhiJ belt generals vanilhed. He would begird
to make perce, becaule he is unable to continue the
war.
“ Pruffia muft at leaft fee on which fide good faith
\4 to he met with-—Frederick William, acquainted
with the real projects of Auftria; will be eager to
abandon a league which threatens the exiltence of
his kingdom.
“ No other choice refftain* to Spain, but to fue
for peace, or to partake t.he fvte of Holland.
“ Let the powers of Europe open their eyes; let
them confider the damages they are threatened with,
butRuflia covets the fovereignty over the earth, and
Albion over the feas. Both powers have adroitly
received every opportunity to aggrandize them
felves ; the^ marched like giants to the propoled
aim ; but Trench valor lets bounds to their ambiti
ous projects elfe liberty would have been lnft for
ever in Europe.
•• Thole bold conquerors who lubdued the dif
ferent people of Europe, did not come from the Nor
thern defarts, Ruflja for 60 years back follows the
feme track ; fhe civilized her lavage tribes, divided
Poland, conquered the Crimea, threatened Greece,
enchainfft %.+c Caucafus, frightened Conltantinople,
dictated laws to Perfia, humbled the emperor of
China, and has now cuflived tht reft of Poland, in
order to open a paftage into Germany. ^
“ Brave Danes and Swedes, the courfe of theRul
fian torrent] is directed againTt you. AttiRa, the
fcourge of mankind, appears again at the head of
ferocious hordes. Your independence is loft, if
you do not fruftrate the finifter pi ejects of Catha
rine againlr your countries—your intereft commands
you to join us in order to oppofe an impenttrablo
dyke to that deftructive torrent.
“ The Brttilh government infulted firft our am
