PROCLAMATION FOR RE-COMMENCING HOSTILITIES.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
PROCLAMATION Of the Executive Directory to the French Nation, to the end that the French armies may be complete and ready to march by the 15th of Vendemaire next, Oct. 6.
The 18th Fructidor [Sept. 4.] imposed silence on the orators of London who were stationed in Paris. After that very memorable day, the English ambassador pressed to explain himself in a positive manner as to the first object of his legation, set off on return for England. On her side, Austria suffers herself to be directed by the Cabinet of St. James's, which labours incessantly to distract Europe and foment troubles on the Continent. The Emperor thwarts the will of his states and that of his court: he resists the peace of which his subjects are in need, and confines himself exclusively to preparations for war. His armaments apprise us of what we ourselves have to do. If the generous loyalty which urged us to subscribe to the articles of Leoben is abused; if, speaking constantly of peace, nothing is breathed but war, the French nation, which merely speaks of war, because it is desirous of peace, must put itself in a condition to support its dignity; and the valour of its armies must recover its advantages. It is more especially essential fully to convince the enemy that there is no longer in France, but one and a sole part, but one sentiment, but one interest, that of a sovereign nation, which is sensible of its greatness, and which wishes to preserve its liberty. The Executive Directory is swayed by no other motive than these. The constitutional law authorizes us to provide for the safety of the state. It is pleased to make you the judges of the reasons which determine it to employ this sacred right. Your enemies who are not able to resist your courage, have endeavoured to subdue you by stratagem. They deceived you by the show of negotiation. If they had been sincerely desirous of what they appeared to seek, peace would be now concluded. The Executive Directory hastened to stop the progress of the French armies. It gave itself up with sincerity to the hope of the good understanding which dazzled its sight; and enjoyed, in idea, the means it was about to possess of causing liberty to be beloved, and of procuring for France as great a proportion of happiness in peace as she had acquired of glory in war. But after having obtained this interruption in the progress of our victories, what did our enemies wish? To gain time, to foment among you intestine divisions, and to take the advantage of what would result from them, to cause Frenchmen to massacre each other, until they should be enabled to fall on the remnant of the population, to divide among themselves the threads of a country thus divided, and to blot out France from the list of nations. Republican good faith could not have suspected this snare of the policy of courts; you must, however, have seen, citizens, whether this plan was not faithfully followed up; the majority of your public functionaries composed the auxiliary army which fought in the bosom of France for your most cruel enemies. They had called hither swarms of those barbarous emigrants who are bent on tearing in pieces the vitals of their country, and of those fanatical priests who are skilled in kindling up every where the murderous zeal of homicidal piety. The national tribune no longer resounded unless with the voices of the deputies of Austria and England, calumniating your defenders, insulting your generals, employing themselves in paralysing your government, and reducing it gradually to the absolute nullity which corresponded so well with their royal instructions, and with the views of their constituents. At length the veil is tore off; the partisans of the foreign courts are no longer the organs of the national will; the helm of the republic is in the hands of the republicans; and the people of France have French Representatives. Citizens, in these circumstances, what course ought your magistrates to pursue? Animated by a sincere wish to give to France a peace worthy of her, that is to say, a solid peace, agreeable to her interests, and conformable to her engagements, how are they at this time to repulse the pretensions and elude the fraud of the cabinet of London? How are they to put an end to the indecisive tardiness of the cabinet of Vienna, and to free Austria herself from English influence, the only real obstacle to the peace of Europe? There is but one mode. Since your enemies, in feigning to negotiate, hold themselves in an hostile state, their example forces you again to take up arms, and absolves you, by anticipation, from all the calamities which in their territories are about to be the inevitable result of the rupture of the truce. Ah! if war be a scourge that cannot be too much detested, but the horrors of which fall on those by whom it was provoked, if humanity revolts against those who shed blood, who plunder cities, and lay provinces waste without a necessity; if the author of an iniquitous war be responsible for the death of the men who are killed, for the destruction of the cottages which are burnt, for the loss of commerce which ensues, for the provisions which are destroyed, for the violences, disorders, and crime, which are committed with arms in the hand; if those who feed on the horrors of war, entered into without pretext and without reason, are ferocious monsters, unworthy of the name of men, not merely enemies of the countries which they cause to be laid waste, but of the whole human race:—you who have for six years been forced to fight for your independence! you, on whom certain perfidious men endeavour to bestow the fatal gift of a civil war! you, who, conquerors and triumphant, laid down your arms to propose and hear the words of peace! you will not have to dread the imprecations, the legitimate anathemas which nature and justice address to your enemies. In returning, against
your will, to the bloody contest from which you had drawn yourselves, you may protest in the face of the whole world what your intentions have been, and call on Heaven to witness the justice of the cause you are about to defend. Thus, then, citizens, again take up your arms without ceasing to be desirous of peace. Your government perseveres in offering it on the conditions which appeared it to be meet and compatible. Perhaps the warlike appearance you are about to resume, will suffice to obtain a consent to these conditions; but if they should be refused, you will maintain the honor and the laws of the republic. It is in the name of the nation, it is to fulfil its will, to secure its rights, and to preserve its glory, that the executive power recalls to their standards all the soldiers of the country who have withdrawn from them on any cause whatever. The executive directory accordingly enjoins its commissioners stationed in the departments, to cause to be executed, without delay, and without restriction, the laws of 4 Frimaire and 4 Nivose, of the fourth year, together with the resolutions of 4 Ventose, and the subsequent ones, and to cause all the soldiers and requisitions whatever, who are now at their homes, to join by the 15th Vendemaire (Oct. 6.)—Frenchmen, it is necessary, that at this epoch your armies should be complete, that they should be ready to march, and that their awful and terrible aspect should instantly command that glorious peace, which for six months past ought to have been the fruit of their triumphs. The executive directory resolves, that the above proclamation shall be printed, solemnly published, and fixed up all the communes of the republic by its commissioners stationed at the central departmental administrations; and the war minister shall take all the necessary measures for its speedy execution, of which he shall give an account every three days to the directory. (Signed)
REVEILLIERE LEPAUX, President. LEGARDE, Secretary General.
PARIS, September 23.
What we have announced relative to the appointment of Gen. Hoche to the post of Generalissimo of the two armies of the Rhine is positive. An order to this effect has been issued from the War Department. — Annales Politiques.
If, contrary to all appearances, say the letters from Milan, hostilities with the Emperor should be renewed, the Piedmontese troops will join the French army. This point is decided. It is even reported that they will form a body of 15,000 men. Venice will furnish 10,000, the Cisalpine republic 20,000, and the army of Kellerman, 30,000, amounting to a reinforcement of 75,000 for the army of Italy, which will be under the command of Massena, Bernadotte, &c.— Ibid.
Letters from Brussels state, that Camille Jordan, and two others, had passed thro Anvers. It was discovered too late who they were, and that they intended to quit the French territory.
There is the strongest reason to believe, that the courier dispatched by the Directory on the night of the 2d and 3d complementary day, Sept. 18 and 19, carried to Buonaparte the orders to renew hostilities with the Emperor. At the very moment when the courier set off, a courier arrived from Lisle with the intelligence that Lord Malmesbury had quitted that city, and had set out for London. His departure, which so soon succeeded the arrival of Treillard and Bonnier, was the result of the first conversation with the new negotiators. "Have you power," said Treillard to Lord Malmesbury, "to restore to the French Republic all her colonies?" "No"—"Why then go home and get them!"
Administration of General Police to the Editor of the Annales Politiques.
"Reports are spread that the Deputies sentenced to transportation have escaped. This intelligence is false, and you are desired to contradict it by the channel of your paper. (Signed) SOTIN, Minister of the General Police."
The Directory held an extraordinary meeting on the 22d inst. to which not even the Ministers were admitted—its object is said to have been the necessary dispositions for opening the campaign.
September 27. The Commissary of the Executive Power in the Municipal Administration of Police, writes as follows—"General Dutertré, commander of the armed force, charged with escorting to Rochfort the transported Members of the 19th Fructidor, arrived here the first complementary Day. He was arrested two days afterwards by order of the Government, five leagues from hence, and set out the next morning under a strong guard of gendarmes. The reports concerning the troubles said to have taken place at Lyons have been contradicted by a letter of the Departmental Administration of the Rhone, stating that no column of the army of Italy has arrived in this city, and that the column expected will find no obstacle. The Administrators add that Lyons, where public tranquility has not been troubled for one instant by the news of the salutary events of the 18th, still continues calm, and that the measures of public safety ordered in consequence of that memorable day are rigorously executed."
TO THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE.
Paris September 7.
"Citizen Minister, The pretended Americans, and their defenders, have always maintained, that the vessels belonging to the United States never make a practice of carrying with them false lists of their crews. The following is a proof of the contrary. The ship Mary , bound from an American port to London, was taken and brought into Nantes by the Frigate l'Orient , because the muster roll produced by the Captain did not correspond with the names and description of the men who composed the crew. We have the honour to transmit you a copy of that list:
you will observe, Citizen Minister, that it is exactly the same with the copy which the Captain of the Mary deposited in the hands of the maritime officers of the Port from which he sailed, and that it is every respect agreeable to the dispositions of the passport annexed to the treaty of 1778. This shews that the Americans are convinced of the necessity of supplying themselves with authenticated lists of their ships companies, and also that they fill their clearances to the English! This prize proves the propriety of requiring the muster rolls to be produced, and of comparing them with the crew, which is the only means of detecting frauds. (Signed)

MILAN, Sept. 4.
General Buonaparte arrived at Udina on the 3d of September. The Congress is held at the house of the Marquis di Gallo; but nothing that disposes its progress is permitted to transpire. All we know is, that at the first conference Buonaparte held this language—"I appreciate you that in a few days all this negotiation must be brought to an end. The French Government is anxious for Peace, though it be completely prepared to prosecute the war; it is well aware of the immense preparations made by the Emperor for the continuation of hostilities, at which it has not as yet taken any umbrage, judging of the resolute of his Imperial Majesty's intention by its own; but a more protracted security on the part of the French Republic might subject it to the imputation of imprudence; a decisive step must therefore be taken."
PARIS, September 15.
The Prince de Condé had set off from Neufchatel to return to France. On the 1st and 2d instant, he crossed the Departments of Doubs and the Upper Saone, and on the 3d he was seen at Lyons. He made his journey without opposition, accompanied only by two men on horseback, as servants or Aid-de-Camps. At the time the courier set out, one of those men had been arrested, and they were in pursuit of the other.
September 17.
Fouquier, read on charge yesterday a letter, stating, that an insurgent army of the South, was 60,000 strong; that they had killed 1000 Republicans, and forced Gen. Laroche to capitulate.
The Theatres are ordered to be closed, where pieces have been represented which appeared to favour Royalty; and the actors arrested.
HAGUE, Aug. 22.
Several persons returned Representatives, to the Convention refuse to serve.

The Convention has voted an address to the French begging not be condemned hastily for not adopting the Constitution.
A new Commission is forming a new constitution. A Treaty Offensive and Defensive with Spain, was this day ratified. The principles are similar to those of the French and Spanish Treaty.
September 23.
A National Festival is ordered, to celebrate the French events of Sept. 4. All public officers are to be required to swear "Eternal Hatred against the Stadholdership, Aristocracy and Anarchy."
LONDON, Sept. 6.
The Bey of Tunis, has officially declared he will not observe the arrangements made with the United States in October last. But the Bey of Algiers has interfered, and it is hoped, he will alter his mind.
Sept. 8.
The last proposition of our Government to France, was to retain the C. of Good Hope, Trinidad and Ceylon.
Sept. 20.
With much concern we now say, that Lord Malmesbury has returned to England without accomplishing the object of his mission.
With respect to the causes which led immediately to the rupture of the negotiations, the only information we have been able to obtain is, that on the arrival of the new commissioners, Treillard and Bonnier at Lisle, they demanded of Lord Malmesbury a final and categorical answer to the terms which had some time before been presented to him as the fine qua non of peace. His Lordship's reply was, that in that stage of the negotiation he was not authorized by his court to agree to the propositions of the Executive Directory. The commissioners immediately observed, that it was evident his Lordship was not vested with the necessary powers to treat; and, therefore, that his further residence at Lisle would be dispensed with by the government of France. This observation was followed by a peremptory order for his Lordship to quit the territories of the republic in the course of eight and forty hours. It is added, that some insulting insinuations were at the same time thrown out by the commissioners against the British cabinet, upon the subject of the late conspiracy in France. Such, we are informed, was the abrupt manner in which the negotiation was brought to a final termination.
September 25.
Mr. Vick, is sent by government to France to make one effort more for negotiation.
October 2.
Mr. Vick has returned unsuccessful, and no other person has been sent.
BOSTON, November 9.
Our London papers, from which the above articles were extracted, are the
Star of Sept. 25 and 30. The Courier of Oct. 2, contained nothing particularly interesting. The importance of the FRENCH WAR PROCLAMATION, claimed our first attention, we hastened to give it publicity, without searching for further papers.
Capt. Henderson, in the brig Eliza , arrived at Salem from Bilboa, 47 days, confirms the news of the new revolutionary insurrection in Paris; and adds, that the banished members were ordered for Havre de Grace, there to be embarked for Madagascar, and landed at the mercy of the natives; and that Buonaparte had been invited to give his personal attendance at Paris, during the insurrection; to which he declared he would, but it should be at the head of a 100,000 men.
Col. Marshall has certainly arrived in Holland; but we hear nothing of Mr. Gerry.
The Courier of the 2d Oct. contradicts the information, under London head of Sept. 25, respecting the overtures made on the part of Great Britain for a renewal of pacific negotiations.
The Three Per Cent Con. were, Sept. 25, at 49 7-8—Oct. 2. 50.

Gen. Hoche is dead. It was supposed he was poisoned; but no marks of poison were discoverable on his being opened. This is a report by the Martha .
The famous Louvet is dead. The French minister of justice, having lately found an American vessel, which was brought in, furnished with a Roll of Equipage, has declared it evidence that the Americans are convinced of the propriety of being furnished with that paper, as pursuant to treaty.
By the annulling of the proceedings of the electoral bodies, 143 of the new third of the French councils, are deprived of their seats.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17.
CONGRESS.
The House of Representatives met this day pursuant to adjournment; but a quorum of the Senate not being assembled, they adjourned till Monday.
Mr. Langdon took his seat in the Senate this day. Four members are yet wanting to make a quorum of that House.
Married last evening, by the Rev. Doctor Green, Mr. Kennedy Long, merchant, of the city of Baltimore, to Miss Eliza Kennedy, daughter of Mr. Andrew Kennedy of this city.
The ship Cleopatra , capt. Smith, sailed from Lisbon for Philadelphia about 50 days since; in which are passengers a Consul from the court of Spain, to reside at Baltimore; and two Commissioners to settle the claims of American merchants, for property taken at sea by the Spanish cruisers.
The Jacobin editors, who have justified the demolition of the freedom of the press in France, and the proscription and banishment of one half of the legislature, give great credit to the destroyers of the constitution that they did not murder their colleagues. There is no doubt the usurpers would gladly have cut their throats had they dared. But the arrest of them is enough to have to justify at once. They may poison them on the passage—or if they reach their destination, a slow lingering and miserable death is their inevitable fate. In any point of view the atrocity of the deed is unparalleled but by the infamy of justifying it. In the worst times of Rome, from the most abandoned of her political gladiators, from the Gracchi, from Catiline or from Clodius, such an act would have met no countenance. Anthony and Octavius, though ever ranked amongst the most profligate and unprincipled slaves to ambition, did not, in expelling their associate Lepidus, banish him and his adherents to the burning sands of Libya, or the frozen shores of the ultima Thule.
