WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MÆVIAD. By WILLIAM GIFFORD, Esquire. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman. [In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Pastoral Epistle which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Samuels, Market-Street, New-York; also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Tuck, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] May 28

NAPLES, March 23. The commander in chief of the army of Naples has ordered a camp to be established at Acri, a small town about five miles from Naples, in order to prevent the soldiers from being corrupted by the effeminate and voluptuous life which they lead in this city, and which they are enabled to do by means of the riches they have acquired by plunder. Calabria still continues to be the theatre of insurrection, and a column, principally composed of Neapolitan patriots, left this place a few days ago in order to attack the insurgents. The communication between Rome and Naples is once more intercepted, and the French couriers have not been able to pass for four days back. The peasants of Campania have again made an irruption from their mountains and attacked the French posts on the high way.
March 26. The insurgents, who still infest the high roads between Capua and Fondi, attacked a post defended by sixty Poles, and put them all to the sword. The troops ordered to act against them are to carry on a war of extermination. The fanatic peasants of Campania exercise the most horrid cruelties on their victims, and every Frenchman who falls into their hands is used in the most barbarous manner. Nothing can excuse such excesses, but they seem to be justified by the rapacity of some scoundrels in our army. Some Frenchmen have been roasted and devoured, and others have been tied alive to trees, and given as a prey to famished dogs. The peasants have certainly been robbed of their all, and they have taken almost pitiless revenge. The rapacity of the conquerors shews them an example, and they have had recourse to terrible reprisals. It is sincerely to be hoped that the directory will put an end to the system of plunder which has ravaged the country, and which must be stopped one way or other. This is not the only cause of insurrection, for the gold of Sicily has also a great effect. The provisional government is on the point of publishing the Neapolitan constitution, which it has been engaged in framing since its establishment. P. S. We learn this instant that the rebels have taken Fondi, and that the French have burned Tracta, which secretly co-operated with the insurgents. Tracta is a small tract on the road from Capua to Fondi.
RASTADT, April 7. The French couriers have been obliged to pass the Rhine, since yesterday, at Seltz. It appears that the Austrians have already cut off all communication with Kehl.
FRANCKFORT, April 7. The French and Austrian Generals have agreed to treat Frankfort and Rastadt as neutral towns, but the Austrians appear determined not to extend the privileges of neutrality to any other territory. In that part of Württemberg which belongs to the prince of Hohenlohe Ingelningen, they have pulled down the posts on the frontiers with the inscription of "Neutral Country." The king of Prussia, however, appears determined to defend the neutrality of the empire, and his army of observation is to be augmented to 15,000 men.
LUCERNE, 14th Germinal, April 3. Our legislative bodies have just passed several decrees, the following is the substance of the most important of them. 1. The 18,000 auxiliary troops shall be completed within 24 hours by a communal requisition. Whoever refuses to comply with the requisition shall be tried by a council of war, and punished with death. 2. Every citizen of Helvetia, and every foreigner, who, by speeches, shall excite opposition to the measures taken by the government for the defence of the country, or seduce citizens from their obedience to the laws, and who shall propose submission to a foreign power, shall likewise be tried before a council of war, and punished with death. 3. All citizens shall pay a monthly war tax. 4. The executive directory is authorised to make requisitions, and every preparation necessary for the defence of the country. More than 2,500 men have already assembled, but the scarcity of arms prevents a great number from proceeding to the frontiers.
LONDON, By the Packet which brought over the Hamburg Mail, accounts were yesterday received from Mr. Grenville, who has arrived at Vienna. On the subject of his mission to the Imperial Court, a ministerial paper of this morning says, "we understand he is to conclude a new treaty of alliance between that court and ours, but it is only to be the accession of the house of Austria to the treaty concluded between Russia, the Porte, and Great Britain." In addition to the intelligence from the continent published by government in the Gazette of last night, the following Bulletin was yesterday handed about in the ministerial circles: "The French have retreated to Zurich and Lucerne; the whole Canton of Berne have refused to march with the French against the Austrians, in consequence every peasant who refuses is to be shot." "In the engagement on the Aidge on the 31st of March, according to the Vienna Gazette, and general Kray's account, the French lost 2000 men in killed and wounded, and 6000 taken prisoners, in consequence of the bridge being knocked down, which prevented retreat." "General Hotze is marching into the Grison country, and a division of the left wing of the Archduke's army is proceeding into Switzerland, by which means the French are likely to be between two fires." "It is reported, that general Sztarray has been before hand with general St. Cyr, having got to Offenburg before him, by which
manoeuvre he cut off that general's retreat to Kehl, and made himself master of a very fine train of artillery; they say upwards of 80 pieces of cannon."
April 25. This morning the Hamburg mail due yesterday, reached town. The accounts from Italy by this mail do not come time enough to admit of an official detail of the action of the 5th, in which Scherer acknowledges himself to have been defeated, and in consequence of which he had been obliged to shelter himself under the walls of Mantua. An article from Nuremburgh of the 11th, mentions the report of an action on the 3d, in which the French are stated to have lost 8000 or 12,000 men. This report probably originated in the action of the 5th, which we some days ago knew to have taken place, and the result of which was so favourable to the Austrian arms.
Though the foreign papers contain no details of the action of the 5th in Italy, we are happy in being able to add, that intelligence has this morning been received from Vienna, by Allestte, which comprises this interesting account.— SUN. It appears that the action was as highly favorable to the Austrians, as it was honorable to their military character, as far from waiting an attack from the enemy, they actually stormed the French camp. The enemy lost a vast number of men in killed, wounded and prisoners.— 1-2. By our private letters from Hamburg of the 19th instant we learn, that with the exception of 12,000 men, composing the garrison of Kehl, and 3000 that of Manheim, the French have no force on the right side of the Rhine.
The Archduke had his head quarters on the 10th still at Eugen, six leagues from Schaffouse, and was making great preparation to enter Helvetia, to add the two powerful divisions making by generals Bellegarde and Hotze.
Massena's head quarters were temporarily at Rhenau, a little way from Schaffouse, but was so embarrassed, and appeared to little certain of maintaining it, that he demanded his dismission.
It is believed that gen. Hotze was at Rheineck, but this was not quite certain. The Archduke had sent him a reinforcement of 15,000 men from his own army.
On the 4th gen. Hadick entered the Engadine, after a very warm action, in which he took three pieces of cannon, and made 300 prisoners. Our private letters add, that the Prussian Ministers had quitted Rastadt, and that the French Ministers were inclined to establish themselves at Seltz. Twenty thousand French troops, it is said, are to be entrusted with the defence of Kehl, which is to be attacked by 30 thousand Austrians, while the Archduke penetrates into Switzerland, with the main body of his army. The Austrian troops are already in possession of almost the whole of Schaffhausen, and part of the neighbouring Cantons; but they have not yet been able to cross the Rhine, as the French have removed all the bridges. It is to this quarter we have now to look for very important military operations. The first battle that takes place on the Swiss territory cannot fail to be followed by consequences of the greatest magnitude. The Russian troops are advancing by hasty marches into Italy, where 100,000 of them, it is said, will soon be assembled; one column of Russians was expected at Verona on the 7th.
Lord William Bentinck is going out envoy to the Russian army in Italy, whither his brother, Lord Frederick will accompany him. Orders are issued for the immediate recall of the British troops now in Portugal, the security of that kingdom being no longer endangered by the machinations of the French Directory; general Tarleton, and his military suite, are expected home early in the next month. The 13th March was a melancholy day for Constantinople; almost two thirds of the suburb of Pera being laid in ashes by a dreadful fire. The hotels of the English ambassador, Mr. S. Smith, the Austrian internuncio, Baron Herbert, and several other magnificent edifices, were entirely consumed. The number of houses consumed is estimated at 1300.
RASTADT, March 31. The Austrian army never distinguished itself for gallantry more than in the late battles. The Archduke exposed himself to the fury of the enemy's fire. He caused Gen. Baron Stander to be arrested and conveyed to Vienna, and two officers to be shot at the head of the army for cowardice. It is said, that the cause of arresting Gen. Stander was that officer's keeping in his pocket for 3 days an order of the Prince, which directed him to send 10,000 men to the assistance of Gen. Hotze.
TUSCANY. Extract of a letter from Florence, March 22. "Every thing announces an approaching revolution in this country. French troops have been constantly marching from the 16th inst. to Lucca, and Count Manuelli, the Tuscan minister at the Cisalpina government has informed the Grand Duke, that the French have finally determined to make themselves masters of Tuscany. Ten thousand were assembled at Bologna under the command of Gen. Vignole, in order to carry that measure into effect. This information has been confirmed from several unquestionable authorities, and has thrown the court into the greatest consternation. "An extraordinary Council was held on the 9th, and sat the greatest part of the night. The foreign ministers were informed by the government of the expected arrival of the French army, and that it was impossible to guarantee the safety of their persons. Prince Corfini, and many other persons of distinction, have fled with their most valuable effects from this city. The Marquis de Manfrèdina proceeded on the 10th to negotiate with general Scherer. The departure of the Pope for Cagliari is
agreed on. The code of it being so long deferred, was an apprehension entertained by citizen Rheadard, that he might fall into the hands of the English, the consequence of which would have probably been more dangerous than his residence in Tuscany. "Pius the VIth, has during his abode at La Chartrouse, complied with the dictates of the Councillors who were near him, in some very extraordinary instances. It is certain, that he sent a consulatory brief to all the French emigrant bishops in England, and a declaration to his vicegerent at Rome, the Prelate Boni, disapproving of the Civic Oath taken by the Clergy and the Ecclesiastical Professors of the National Lyceum, and ordering them to retract it, under the penalty of excommunication."
GERMANY. Instruck April 4. The Government here has published officially the following intelligence: On the 31st of March the enemy made the fifth attempt which he has made since the 26th, to force the position of the Austrians on the Adige. But in the attempt the enemy lost 11 pieces of cannon, a number of ammunition waggons, 2000 men killed and wounded, and a column of 6000 men, who, seeing their retreat over the Adige cut off, laid down their arms. Colonel St. Julien took possession the same evening of the town of Rivoli, and thereby re-established the communication between Verona and Roveredo. The French troops have retired to Peschiera and Mantua, where general Scherer has his head quarters. The French troops have entirely evacuated the Tyrol. In their retreat they pillaged and burnt Nauders, Molo, and Schluderns, and set fire to the bridge over the Inn, near Finstermünz, to cover their retreat. At Nauders they took away the sacred utensils and plate from the Churches, broke the statues, and tore the pictures of the Saints, and committed every kind of excess.—Women who had taken refuge in some stables were burnt in them, together with the cattle."
PARIS, April 1. The Prince of Conde's head quarters were removed on the 16th of February, from the city of Dubucz, in Volhynia, and will be transferred to some place in Lithuania. The Helvetic legislative body decreed on the 21st March, that the 18,000 auxiliaries should be taken by lot from among the National guard. General Keller, who distinguished himself in the French service at Offend, has at present the command of a considerable body of Swiss troops, extending from Constance to Reinegg.
April 17. The free riflemen of Helvetia have assembled on the frontiers, and are form an auxiliary body that must prove highly useful against the corps of Tyrolean chasuers, against whom they are to act. The Oligarchs of Appenzel, Fribourg, and Unterwalden have been conducted to Huntingden. The king of Prussia has just renewed his edict against the emigrants. They are expressly prohibited from entering his majesty's dominions unless they have his special permission, or at least an authority from his cabinet minister.
In pursuance of an article of the 15th gen. Massena is definitively named commander in chief of the armies of Helvetia and Germany. It is stated that he is invested with very extensive powers for the re-organization of the army, and that he is authorised to appoint provisionally the generals of division and brigade, as he may judge necessary. We learn that general Lecourbe is to succeed provisionally Massena in Helvetia, but it is not known whether he is to retain the command, or whether it is, to be definitively given to Moreau, who now commands a division of the army of Italy.—The army of observation is suppressed, and is to form a division of the army of the Danube.
LONDON, April 5. Extract of a letter from capt. Harkham, to Evan Nepean, Esq. "Centaur, at Sea, Feb. 16, 1799. "SIR, "I have the honor to inform you, that in obedience to your orders I proceeded to Sallo Bay in his majesty's ship under my command, and having been joined by the Cormorant alone, of the Squadron under capt. Bowen, I at length, after beating against heavy gales of wind from 28th January till 9th February, reached Sallo Bay, in which twenty one Swedish and Danish merchantmen, but no men of war had been in sight of Sallo since the 2d February. Having looked into Fangel Bay and Tarragona, also, where Lord M'Kerr, in the Cormorant, took a Tartar, and drove another on shore, I proceeded to Majorca, and at day light the Cormorant took a fleet laden with oil, and I chased two large xebecs and a letter, all privaters in the Royal Spanish service; one of which, La Virgen de Rosario, I captured at two o'clock, mounting fourteen brass twelve pounders and ninety men, the other two escaped by the wind shifting at dark when within shot.—The same night the Aurora joined and proceeded for Tarragona, in consequence of intelligence I received of two Spanish frigates being bound there with Swiss troops from Palma. On the 15th I fell in with the Argo and Levithian, and the next morning flood in for Sallo Bay.
Finding the frigates were not in the neighborhood, I attacked the town of Cambrelles, and the Spaniards having quitted their guns on a tower, sent the boats in under lieut. Groot of the Centaur, who, after dismounting the guns, burnt and captured as per margin (a)—La Velon Maria was taken in the offing, from Aguilas bound to Barcelona. The Proserpine frigate, consort to the Santa Teresa, taken by the Argo, after having escaped to Palmos, has since, I am informed by captain Bowen, hauled close into the bar of Barcelona.

W. 3 leagues, a brig and two xebecs in the S. E. quarter appearing suspicious, I hoisted my colours to them, when the brig and one of the xebecs hoisted Spanish, upon which a Moorish brig in tow was cast off, and L'Espoir hauled to the wind in chase; it was soon perceived they were armed vessels, but not being so fortunate as to weather them, we exchanged broadsides with both in passing: L'Espoir being tacked, soon brought the xebec to close action, which continued for an hour and a half, when a favourable opportunity of boarding her was embraced, and after a sharp contest of about twenty minutes she surrendered, and proved to be the Africa, commanded by Joseph Subjado, in the service of the King of Spain, mounting fourteen long four pounders, and four brass four pound swivels, having on board seventy five men and thirty eight soldiers from Algolamus, bound to Malaga. Lieutenant Richardson, in whom I have much confidence, all the officers and seamen of his majesty's ship I have the honour to command, behaved with the same courage they have done on former occasions. During the action the brig (which, I have since learned, mounted eighteen guns) fired in force and anchored. I enclose a list of killed and wounded, and am, with respect, James Sanders. List of the killed and wounded. L'Espoir—2 seamen killed, 2 ditto wounded. Africa—1 officer, 8 seamen killed, 1 captain, 2 officers and 25 seamen wounded.
A NEW IMPOSTER. London, April 13. The following Proclamation is said to have been issued by Buonaparte on the 21st of December '99 to the inhabitants of Cairo. Perverse men had succeeded in misleading a party amongst you. They have perished. God has ordered me to be merciful to the people; and I have been clement and merciful towards you. I have been inclined to gain you because of your revolt. I have deprived you for three months of your Divan.—But this day I restore it to you. Your good conduct has effaced the stain of your rebellion. Scheriffo Vlemas, Orators of the Mosques, cause the people well to understand that those who, through any levity, shall become my enemies, shall find no refuge, either in this world or the next. Shall there be a man so blind as not to see that all my operations are conducted by destiny? Can there be a man so incredulous as to doubt that every thing in this vast universe is subject to the empire of destiny? Instruct the people, that since the world has existed, it was written that, after having destroyed the enemies of Islamism (Mahometanism) and destroyed the Crois, I should come from the farthest part of the west to fulfil the task that was imposed upon me. Make the people see, that in the sacred book of the Koran, in more than twenty passages, that which has happened was foreseen, and that which shall take place has also been explained. Let those then whom the fear of our arms alone prevents from pronouncing imprecations upon us now charge their dispositions: for in offering prayers to heaven against us, they solicit their own condemnation. Let the True Believers then offer prayers to heaven for the success of our arms. I could call to account each individual amongst you for the most secret sentiments of his hearts; for I know every thing—even that which you never communicated to any person. But the day will come when all the world shall see it proved that I am commanded by orders from above, and that all human efforts are of no avail against me. Happy those who in good faith shall be the first to attach themselves to me! BUONAPARTE.

By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, June 18.
By Arrivals yesterday.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Nancy, capt. Swaine, from the coast of Fumas and the Island of Defolation. She sailed from New-Bedford where she belongs, on the 19th of February 1798, for the above places, where she obtained her cargo of Elephant and Sperm-whale, oil, valued at 50,000 dollars. Left the Island of Defolation on the 13th of January last. February 21, spoke the ship Sierolene, 40 days from Milford Haven, bound to the coast of Fumas, then in lat. 37, long. 32. March 18, arrived at St. Helena, where they were treated with uncommon civility and attention by the Governor, English East-India company, &c. where they left the following English vessels:
The Lord Gambier, Dano; Henry Dundas, Carinthians; Dover Castle, Jampson; Good-Hope, Hulton; Admiral Gardner, Bradford; Atlantic, Howard; Bushbridge, Dobson; Vajuna, Thomas; Georgiana, Lee; Mals, (whaler) Jock; another whaler, a Portuguese ship, and a ship just come in supposed to be the Alexander.
May 9, at 7 A. M. was captured by the French privateer Reliance, Capt. Duceu, of 14 guns, and 72 men, from Guadalupe—put a prize-master and 10 men on board—took out of the Nancy, the mate and 11 seamen, and ordered her for Guadalupe. Two days after took the brig Mehitable, Orne, from Surinam, to Newburyport, and ordered her also for Guadalupe. On the 16th of May, these two vessels were RETAKEN within 15 leagues of St. Martins, by the United States brig Eagle, and carried into St. Kitts. The same day, the United States brig Richmond, Capt. Speaks, commenced a chase of the above privateer which continued 14 hours, when the latter being near the rocks, took the advantage of the night, and got off. The same night this privateer went into St. Martins, where her American prisoners, 32 in number, were driven from on board over the sides of the vessel like so many cattle, several of whom were bayoneted as they were getting out. This base and savage conduct was preceded by every species of cruelty and robbery, on board; for they were without hat, shoe, or a farthing of money. When they were landed, they were driven into a Church, the door of which was broke down for their admission, not being able there to get the key from the Sexton. In this Sacred alter their hellish career was continued—They tore cushions from the pulpit to lie on, made pillows of the Bibles which they found in the pews, and otherwise scoffed at every sacred erection to the Church. The next morning, they were permitted to see the commandant who appeared to be displeased, because the captain of the privateer did not give the prisoners their clothes. He gave them a passport to go to a neutral island.
This intelligence is not exaggerated—We have it from the lips of Mr. Matthew Ray, mate of the Nancy, who was put on board the privateer, affidavit of the truth of it; Mr. Ray got down to St. Thomas under convoy of the George Washington and Pickering, in co. with the fleet—June 9, in a gale, left it—Two days after saw a rudder cask—supposed some of the fleet must have been wrecked. June 13, in lat. 38, long. 71, at 9 A. M. heard the report of 3 cannon, to the W. S. W. At 11, saw a brig bearing S. S. W. with a schooner in possession, supposed to be a prize to an American brig.
Mr. Ray further informs, that the Reliance had captured 13 vessels, all of which were American except an English Letter of Marque from Liverpool to New-Province, and a Danish vessel from Hamburg to Jamaica; and that eleven of them had got in safe.
We have here to observe, that the Nancy is the first American vessel that ever made a voyage to the island of Defolation; and but one English ship had been there.
The ship John, Freeman, sailed from Port Antonio May 10, in company with the homeward bound Jamaica fleet of 200 sail. Left the fleet June 6, in lat. 23. The convoying ship Jamaica, had captured an American Schooner under Danish colours, in a contraband trade; and classed several privateers out of the fleet. June 14, spoke two whaling Schooners from Boston, in lat. 38—one of them (Capt. F. Atwood) had caught a whale, from which he got 60 barrels of oil. Captain Freeman saw several whales just off the Hook.
The English ship Empress of Russia, for New-York, left the fleet before the John. Passengers in the John—Mr. A. Livingston, of New-York, and Edward Campbell of Philadelphia.
We have nothing by the ship Friendship, capt. Harnett. He sailed from Christian-Flade on the 10th of April, where he put in distress.
His Britannic Majesty's frigate Boston, capt. Douglas, arrived at the watering place yesterday afternoon, having seen the remainder of the American vessels to the latitude of safety. She is to take in some provisions, and proceed to Halifax.
Capt. King of the Brandywine Miller, failed from Oporto on the 17th of April, in company with the ship Pomona, for Alexandria. Left there brig Atalanta, of Norfolk, to sail in a few days—spoke nothing. The brigs George, of Philadelphia, and Jane, of Boston, are both captured and carried into Vigo, the latter, vessel and cargo, condemned; and part of each of their crews are now on board the B. Miller.
The brig Elizabeth, from Virginia, five days before Capt. K. failed, appeared off the Bay, took a pilot on board, and was captured.
Capt. Bourn left St. Croix June 2, in company with 10 sail, most of them for Philadelphia. The Jefferson, and a brig, both of Philadelphia, were armed.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in New-York, dated 4th April, 1799.
"Sixteen hundred pounds has been voted by the Merchants at Lloyd's (exclusive of the five hundred guineas before subscribed) to purchase a side-board of plate as a present to captain Tuxton, for his gallant conduct in the engagement with the Insurgents."
The Aurora a few days since, gave circulation to the following notorious falsehoods and calumnies, taken from the Richmond Examiner, an infamous paper, printed in the capital of Virginia, as the Aurora is in the capital of Pennsylvania.
Of Mr. William Smith, minister from the United States to the Court of Portugal, it is observed "Mr. Smith was Generalissimo, of that band of Brothers, in the first Congress, who bon ht up the certificates of the old Soldiers, and then funded them at twenty shillings, which is the cause of our present national debt."
This national debt is a charming engine, wherewithal to amuse, abuse and mislead a certain part of the community. The statements concerning it, are always adapted, true or false, to the object attempted by these patriots. At one time it was Sedgwick who began the debt; at another, Hamilton became its Father; and now it is William Smith, and his band of brothers in the first Congress.
It will be remembered, that the national debt existed previous to the meeting of the first Congress; that it was created by our revolutionary war; and that nothing more was done by Congress, than to provide for its payment in the easiest, honestest and simplest mode; That the scheme proposed by Mr. Madison, for the same purpose, while it would have inundated the country with oats, had the misfortune to be visionary and impracticable, besides being glaringly vicious and corrupt in principle.
Notwithstanding all this is well known to every man, who understands any thing of the subject, yet an outcry is still occasionally sported, and the system of calumny kept up, left those who have been deluded by it, might on reflection return to their senses, or obtain more correct ideas upon the subject.
It ought also to be remembered, that it was stated, and not controverted by any the most impudent bob-tailed politician, at the time; that Mr. Smith so far from increasing had decreased an ample private fortune, by his attendance in Congress—and of this proofs luminous as day, were ready to be exhibited.
The Aurora also propagates, from the same libelous paper, that "Mr. Smith lately got nine thousand dollars, for his outfit, in going to Lisbon, over and above a salary of nine thousand more, and that now he gets thirty thousand additional, for going to Constantinople."
The fixed salary for ministers of Mr. Smith's grade, is nine thousand dollars per annum, and as much more for an outfit; but nothing can be more abominably false, than the assertion, that Mr. Smith is to receive thirty thousand dollars additional, for going to Constantinople. I have taken the trouble to enquire, into this fact, and find that he is not to receive a single cent.
What ought to be the punishment of the inventor (Gallender) and the propagator (Duane) official libels upon government, and calumnies against individuals? Ought grand juries to sleep, and justice shut her eyes? Of what events are such a torpid state of things, and inattention to such flagrant offenders, the harbingers?
MILITARY ANECDOTE.
Towards the close of the last century, when marshall Catinat invaded Piedmont, it was of the highest importance to the present king, then duke, to march in time for putting Turin in a better posture of defence. To this end he dispatched count de Santena, then a major, and since general, with a few hundred men, to Avigliano, an old castle about three German miles from Turin which commands the road and valley of Soufa. As the French army, which consisted of thirty thousand men, was forading by, Santena refused. Catinat was so surprised that he provoked at this insult, sent, to the castle, threatened to hang up the commanding officer; who returned him for answer, he should never have him alive, and that till the artillery should be brought before the castle, no surrender was to be expected. Catinat, now more inclined, ordered a battery to be erected, and summoned the castle a second time. Santena answered that a breach must first be made, which being begun he offered to capitulate. Catinat sent a lieutenant into the castle to settle the articles of capitulation; but as a preliminary condition demanded that the soldiers would be made prisoners of war, and officers hanged. Upon this Santena took the lieutenant into his chamber, shut the door, and conducted him between two barrels of powder, with two lighted
matches lying by. Santena taking one of the lighted matches got upon one of the powder barrels, and desired the lieutenant to follow his example, adding, that since he must die many more of the French should take a spring into the air, before all the Piedmontese in the castle should lose their lives. The lieutenant so little relished this compliment that he begged of Santena to lay aside such a desperate design, promising to do all that lay in his power for obtaining an honorable capitulation for the garrison. Upon this assurance the commandant dismissed the lieutenant, who having made his report to Catinat, the marshall said, "I must see this man of such extraordinary spirit and resolution;" and allow that he and his men should march out with their honors. As Santena passed by him, the marshall said, "that he did indeed deserve to be hanged; but to show him that he could esteem courage and bravery in an enemy, he should dine with him that day." At table some French officers upbraided Santena on account of the duke of Savoy's forming a league with heretics against the most christian king. Santena remained silent some time, till at last he asked the marshall whether he would allow him freedom of speech? Catnat consenting; he replied, "That his master had indeed, for self defence, taken arms against the king of France, and had entered into alliance with heretics, such as the English and Dutch; nay farther that his master was for doing something worse, and had sent to Constantinople, to negotiate a league with the Turks, but his most christian majesty had unluckily been before hand with him there. Catinat laughed at the officers, who had forced this keen repartee from Santena, saying, "this might teach them never to insult brave men under misfortunes. However, Santena, by his extraordinary behaviour had the good fortune to obtain for his master a suspension of arms for some days."
