CONTINUATION OF  Foreign Intelligence. PER SHT. MANCHESTER.
LONDON, December 23.
STATE OF POLITICS. FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
THE die is cast - the sword is unsheathed, and the regicide republic of France once more stands pitted against all the regular governments of Europe. The signal for war, as we predicted in our second number, has been given by the King of Naples, who, accompanied by the Austrian general Mack, entered the territory of the new Roman re- public, on the 23rd of November, drove back the advanced posts of the French army, and called on all the directorial envoys to evacu- ate the country.
The French general Championnet, on re- ceiving the intelligence of this attack, wrote to general Mack, for an explanation of the conduct of his Neapolitan majesty, which he represented as a violation of treaty, and a breach of the law of nations. Whenever the missions of the directory have any thing to gain by an appeal to the established cus- toms or public law of Europe, they never fail to have recourse to them; but when- ever these thwart their interest, and oppose their plans, as is the case in ninety-nine transactions out of every hundred, they de- ride them as frivolous, reject them as nuga- tory, and brand them as the customs of slaves, and the laws of tyrants. All their diploma- tic reports have invariably breathed this language from the year 1791 to the present day. General Mack's reply was explicit, manly, and decisive. He stated the destruc- tion of the Papal government, and the oc- cupation of the Roman territory by the ar- mies of France to be a direct violation of the treaty of Campo Formio - An usurpa- tion that had never been recognized by his Sicilian majesty, nor by his august ally, the emperor of Germany. The condition of continued amity he expressly stated to be the immediate evacuation of the Roman ter- ritory; and if this were complied with, hos- tilities would not be renewed. But force, he said, would be opposed to force; and any attempt on the part of the French to enter the territories of the grand duke of Tuscany would be considered as a declaration of war. Four hours was the time prescribed to Cham- pionnet for communicating his final deter- mination. What this was, is not yet known.
A courier, however, was immediately dis- patched to Paris, with intelligence of this event; on the receipt of which the Directory sent a message to the two Councils, couched in the true style of Robespierre, denouncing vengeance against his Sicilian majesty, and proposing a declaration of war, not only against the king of Naples, but against the king of Sardinia also; and the Councils, without any further investigation, without ensuring even how the latter monarch could possibly be implicated in the aggression of the former, and contenting themselves with the simple assertion of the Directory, that he "had made a common cause with their ene- mies." An assertion which they must have known to be atrociously false, since that un- happy sovereign has been, and still re- mains, the captive of the Directory, unable to act or stir; the Councils instantaneously adopted the proposition of their Pentarchs! Were we wrong, then, in calling them, "the instruments of their tyranny, and the slaves of their caprice."
Bignonet, a member of the council of five hundred, afterwards ascended the tribune and indulged himself in a train of invective against the perfidy of courts, and the char- acters of kings, in the true style and spi- rit of the revolution. He was proceeding to extend his anathema against all kings, hostile, neutral or allied, whom he represent- ed as tyrants, and to devote them to one com- mon destruction, when he was interrupted by those who, aware that he was about to betray the secret of the government, not yet ripe for disclosure, lamented that, with the same sentiment as themselves, he did not possess equal prudence and discretion. The discussion was abruptly terminated, and the hired mob in the gallery loudly applauded the wisdom of their precious representatives.
From the whole of this transaction, two things are perfectly evident; first, that the Directory might, if they had chosen it, have preserved peace, merely by an observance of the treaty of Campo Formio; and secondly, that their refusal to evacuate the Roman ter- ritory, solely resided from their fixed deter- mination to make an irruption in the Neapo- litan dominions the moment they should be prepared.
Indeed, we have long known their resolution to depose his Sicilian Majesty, and to render his kingdom a scene of plunder and desolation. The whole plan for revolution- izing Naples has long been perfected, and lain in the archives of the Directorial cabinet at Paris; while the Republican Emiliary has for the last twelve months, been labouring to prepare the minds of the Neapolitans for the intended regeneration of their country. The King, therefore, has acted wisely in antici- pating the meditated blow, and in securing those important passes, the possession of which gives additional security to his king- dom.
It is evident, too, that his Sicilian Ma- jesty must have acted in concert with the Emperor of Germany; and this circumstance affords very strong grounds of belief, that a more vigorous system, one more worthy the dignity and independence of sovereigns, will be speedily adopted throughout Europe. It is certain, that the Emperor was extremely anxious to conclude a peace; that he spared no pains to accomplish his object; and that he even proposed that a Congress should be held, with a view to promote a general pacification. It is equally certain, that the French Directory had, at one time, acceded to all his demands, that were of any im- portance, except the restoration of the Roman
Republic to its primitive state, as stipulated by the treaty of Campo Formio. The obli- gacy of the French in keeping possession of that country, and in exposing themselves to the danger of a premature war, rather than fulfil engagements solemnly contracted, dis- plays, in the strongest point of view, the profligacy of their conduct, and the nature of their designs.
The declaration of war against the King of Sardinia, and the legislative anathema pronounced against all Sovereigns, which the member who uttered it must have known to be perfectly conformable with the sentiments of the Directory, must convince all Europe of the necessity of combining against a gov- ernment that is bound to no treaty, and re- strained by no moral tie, or religious obliga- tion; a power that consults exclusively its own interest; resolved to pursue its projects of subversion and aggrandizement, until it shall have subjugated the world, or perished in the attempt.
The king of Sardinia has long been reduc- ed to the most pitiable situation; the mere phantom of a monarch, he has held not only his political, but his natural existence by the most precarious of all tenures, the will of the regicide Directory of France. Possessed of all the strong fortresses in his dominions, occupying the very citadel that commands his capital, these, most inexorable of all tyrants have made him drink the cup of disgrace to the very dregs. They will now put an end to the farce, or rather to the tragedy, which they have been playing; blot this baseless prince out of the list of Sovereigns, and boast of their humanity and moderation in only consigning him to perpetual impris- onment, or suffering him to drag out a mi- serable existence in poverty and exile. His dominions will supply means for the payment of their armed banditti; and his subjects will serve to swell their list of contributions and to augment their armies. The Pied- montese, 'tis true, are a hardy race, and love their Sovereign; but, unless a foreign army be immediately sent to his assistance, his de- struction is inevitable. And the Directory, we fear, will secure their prey before the neighbouring powers will be apprized of his danger.
The Princes of Europe are now at issue with the regicides of France; the sword be- ing drawn, the seaboard must be thrown away; and, shocking as the reflection is to humanity, the war must be - BELLUM IN- TERNECINUM; - the only alternative is, the destruction of the French Republic, or the dissolution of every existing government. To crush all thrones is the avowed object of the Directory; to annihilate their power should be the sole aim of their opponents.
The crisis calls for resolution, vigor, and unanimity. Let those who now preside over the councils of nations remember, that this is no common cause; that the application of ordinary remedies to extraordinary evils, will inevitably create disappointment, and produce disappointment, and produce disas- ter. Every nerve must be exerted; all re- sources employed; the enemy's scheme must be anticipated, and the imperious claims of self preservation, and the imperious claims of struggle for existence, be suffered occasional- ly to silence the dictates of an ordinary poli- cy, and even to rise superior to the rigid mandates of political justice.
The French, we know from past experi- ence, and recent preparation, will not hesitate to seize upon any neutral or friendly territo- ry, that will suit their convenience or facili- tate their operations against the combined powers. The demand of Gen. Mack, re- specting the Duchy of Tuscany, was just and well timed, since the Directory were prepar- ing to enter that country, and no doubt, once more to seize upon Leghorn. This port must, at all events, be secured from sur- prise, and ought to be occupied, during the war, by an Austrian or English garri- son.
The Emperor has committed a grievous fault in suffering the French to possess them- selves of the Valseline, by which their com- munication with the Cisalpine Republic is easily preserved. The Directory have since the conquest of Switzerland, sent a reinforce- ment of 25,000 men, into Italy, which must have increased their army in that country to about 60,000 men. On the Rhine, their present force scarcely exceeds 120,000 men; but is daily increased by the requisitions, though not with such rapidity as to quiet the alarms of the government, a considerable body of troops must, of necessity, be kept in the interior, to check that disposition to rise which has manifested itself pretty generally, to quell the insurrection in Brabant, which notwithstanding a late defeat, is still so for- midable as to have rendered it necessary to declare Brussels once more in a state of siege; and to guard their vast extent of coast from the attacks of the English, which will, no doubt, be so frequent as to keep them in con- stant alarm.
There can be no doubt, that if the allies act with firmness and decision, they can pre- sent such a force both in Italy and Germany, as the French will find it impossible to resist. In the former country too, we, being masters of the Mediterranean, can aid their oper- ations most materially. Malta has been wrest- ed from France, who has also lost the island of Corfu, the last of her usurped possessions in the Adriatic Gulph; and there is not one ship which failed with Buonaparte from Tou- lon but has been either captured or destroyed. MINORCA, too, has surrendered to the Bri- tish arms. In short, victory now seems to court, in every quarter, the enemies of France; and if success be not their lot, the fault must be their own.
The last accounts from Basle say, that the enrolment of the young men for the army, and the new taxes, have caused several tu- multuous movements in various parts of Bern, where the Trees of Liberty have been cut down; and the Municipal Officers driven away.
The French Commissioners in Switzer- land suppose the new Helvetic Legislators to be informed, that they have proposed the
establishment of a public library for their use!
An article from the Hague of the 6th instant says, there has been some bloody scenes between the garrison and the inhab- itants of Metz, who are in a state of insur- rection.
Various accounts are given of the insur- rection in the Netherlands having extended into Treves and Lorraine; as also copies of Proclamations disseminated in those parts by the Rebel Chiefs.
GRAVESEND, DEC. 18. At a court martial assembled and held on board his majesty's ship, America, on Monday, Dec. 17, 1798.
The court in pursuance of an order from the commissioners for executing the office of lord high admiral of Great-Britain and Ire- land, &c. dated the 13th of the present month December, proceeded to enquire into the conduct of capt. Thomas Thompson, com- mander of his majesty's ship the Leader, and such of the officers and ship's company as were on board of her at the time the surren- dered, and was taken possession of by the Genereux, a French ship of 74 guns and to try them respectively for the same according- ly.
And the court having heard the evidence brought forward, in support of capt. Thomp- son's narrative of the capture of the said ship, and have very maturely and deliberate- ly considered the whole, is of opinion - That the gallant and almost unpreceden- ted defence of capt. Thompson, of his ma- jesty's late ship the Leader, against so superior a force as that of the Genereux, is deserving of every praise his country and this court can give; and that his conduct, with that of the officers and men under his command, reflects not only the highest honor on him- self and them, but to their country at large; and the court do therefore most honorably acquit capt. Thompson, his officers and ship's company; and he and they are hereby most honorably acquitted accordingly.
DOVER, DEC. 19. A French cartel is just arrived with the officers of the Jason, &c. from Gravelines.
PLYMOUTH, DEC. 17. Arrived the French brig Faucon, of and from Guadeloupe, laden with sugar, coffee, and tobacco, commanded by mons. Penfe. Ensigne de Vaisseau, sailed from Guadeloupe the 6th ult. and was captured on Friday last, close in with Bourdeaux, by the Ambuscade frigate, capt. H. Jenkins. Mons. Penfe reports, that four days previous to his fail- ing, a fleet, consisting of about 100 sail, un- der convoy of the Vengeance, of 74 guns, sailed from Martinique for Europe, but saw nothing of them on the passage.
TRIESTE, NOV. 15. We have now learned the particulars of the capture of the isle of Cerigo. The unit- ed Russian and Turkish fleets appeared be- fore it on the 9th of October, and immedi- ately landed 600 Russians and 400 Turks - The ex Venetian troops in the French ser- vice evacuated the borough of St. Nicholas with very little resistance; but fifty French defended the fortress two whole days with the greatest obstinacy, but on the 3d were obliged to capitulate. They marched out with all the honors of war, and were sent in a frigate to Toulon or Ancona. The com- bined fleet failed again on the 17th to Zante and Cephalonia, which they took without opposition, the French having previously evacuated them. And on the 3d of Novem- ber the fleet entered the road of Corfu.
PARIS.  COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. SITTING OF DECEMBER 7.
A Secretary read a message from the council of Elders, in the following terms: "Law of the 16th Frimaire. - The Coun- cil of Elders, considering that the hostili- ties which have been commenced by the Kings of the two Sicilies and of Sardinia, require a prompt vengeance, approve the following resolutions:
"The Legislative body declares, that the French Republic is at war with the King of the two Sicilies, and the King of Sardinia."
Scarcely had the Secretary done reading, when the hall resounded with cries of Vive la Republique. The drums beat, and the music of the grenadiers played several patri- otic airs. The Representatives and the tribunes applauded the sons of triumph.
The President - "The sitting is resum- ed; Bignonet is in the tribune."
Bignonet - "The legislative body has made a formidable declaration. The French Republic is at war with perfidious kings. The enemies of liberty force us again to take up arms. Will not the long continued perfidy of courts teach us at length to know the characters of kings? Under what- ever masks they cover themselves, whatever excrior they may assume they are in their hearts the enemies of the Republic. Be not astonished that I
