Frankfort, October 24, 1805.
FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of Land, 14
ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peas vines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them,) trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very easy ascending hill, for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within three hundred yards. There is also five valuable coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or cast iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office.
Lexington, December 4, 1805.
N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

JOURNAL OF DR. COWDERY COWDERY (Concluded.)
May 3. —The bashaw and suit went very early this morning to the great Marabewt [of whom some particulars have been before mentioned.]—He was to continue with the bashaw during the contention with the Americans. He now assured the bashaw that the American frigates would be destroyed; and that the gunpowder of the whole squadron would be so damaged, that the Americans would not be able to fire a gun. He agreed to attend the bashaw, to keep the balls and shells from hurting him. He received large sums of money from the bashaw.
May 14. I received a note from capt. Bainbridge, stating the inconvenience which the officers laboured under by being in close confinement, and by breathing unwholesome air. I spoke to the bashaw on the subject, and humbly solicited that our officers might be removed to the American house. The bashaw replied that the war between him and my country at first was about money; but now it was whether him or his brother should be the bashaw; and that the Americans had bound themselves to his brother in such a manner that it was not in their power to make peace with him; but that his brother and the Americans were determined to take Tripoli and take off his head. He swore by the prophet of Mecca, that if the Americans brought his brother against him, he would burn to death all the American prisoners except me; that my life should be spared, because I saved the life of his child, when very sick. He went off in a great passion, and mounted his horse. His mamelukes and guards, to the number of about forty, attended him, and he took a ride to his country palace. They returned about sunset, and the minister of exterior relations and the bashaw were in private conference.
May 19. —A spy employed by the bashaw, arrived from Malta and Syracuse. He brought news that the American squadron failed for Alexandria in Egypt about 20 days before; that it consisted of 4 frigates, 3 brigs, 3 schooners, 24 gun-boats, 6 bomb-ketches, and several transports; that they were to take on board the former or ex-bashaw, and to proceed along the coast of Tripoli and take the principal towns; and then to attack and take the town of Tripoli, and put it in possession of the ex-bashaw. The bashaw and his people seemed much agitated at this news.
May 21. —The Bashaw with his attendants rode into the country. According to custom he took with him on a mule, two boxes, said to contain twenty thousand sequins (forty thousand dollars.) But I did not believe they contained that sum. They were light. I had lifted them both; and they were always carried to and from the mule by one slave. Another mule was loaded with packages of the bashaw's clothing. The bashaw always went thus provided, through fear that he might be served as he served his brother the ex-bashaw, who was denied a return to the castle when the present bashaw usurped the throne. During the absence of the bashaw, his eldest son the bey, had his amusement. He ordered two carpets spread on the fourth corner of the castle. On one of the carpets, the bey and his attendants seated themselves, with a band of music, consisting of 20 men with tamborines, and one with a sort of drum. Murat, his uncle, and myself were seated on the other carpet. Three large negroes were brought and ordered to perform before the bey. The music then struck up and the three negroes commenced the negro dance, with many ridiculous airs, whirling round, shaking their heads and roaring like mad bulls. This continued about half an hour, when they appeared to be raving mad. They ran about as if to tear in pieces every body they met. One of them made a leap at me, but was prevented from reaching me, by the bey, Murat, and another Turk, who jumped between us. Two other Turks caught hold of the negro and held him, when I, by the advice of the bey, went to the top of the north end of the castle, where I could see the sport in safety. During the frolick, I saw those negroes chase several Christians; and I was told that they often tear all their clothes off, and hurt them much by biting, &c.
May 22. —I was informed, that in a letter which the bashaw received the day before, it was stated that
Hassan Bey and his army, were taken in Derne, by the Americans and Sidi Hamet, the ex-bashaw. I was desired not to mention it, because it was a great secret; and the bashaw did not wish to let his people know it. I was also informed, that the bashaw called a council of his chiefs, and proposed to put all the American prisoners to death, but it was agreed to postpone this measure for that time.
May 23. —Twenty five of our men were sent with a cart for timber into the country. The wind from the desert was very heavy and hot. The men almost perished in the sand, which flew and drifted like a snow storm in our country. They stopped through fatigue, and asked their driver, who was a Turk, for liberty to drink at a well which was near them. The Turk replied that they were Romakeeps , (Christian dogs) and said they should have no water. He gave them all a severe beating with a large club which he always carried with him to drive them with and made them go on with the cart, which the poor fellows had to drag loaded with timber, through the burning sand. They returned towards night almost perished.
May 24. —At night the bashaw dispatched a boat with powder, musket balls and money, for his troops who were collecting to oppose the approach of his brother Hamet, the ex-bashaw. The eldest son of Hamet was confined in the castle by order of the present bashaw. The bashaw was so much agitated at the news of the approach of his brother, that he this day declared, that if it was in his power now to make peace and give up the American prisoners, he would gladly do it, without the consideration of money. His funds were so low, that his steward run in debt for the supply of the kitchen. He gave his mamelukes and domestics, and myself, but one meal per day. The rich Turks in town took turns in supplying his few troops. He heartily repented for not accepting the terms of peace last offered by our country.
May 26. —Three frigates in sight. At about 11 A. M. the smallest came near in, and hoisted the banners of peace. The bashaw asked his head men of the town, who were with him in his gallery, whether it was best to hoist his white flag. All except one (the charge de affairs for Algiers) declared in favour of it, & of making peace if possible. They expressed great contempt towards the Algerine consul for his advice, and said that whoever would advise the bashaw not to hoist the white flag at such a critical moment, must be his foe, and not his friend. The Algerine consul disappeared and left the castle. The Spanish consul soon came to the castle; and the bashaw sent him in one of his handsome boats, with Shons Hammad to the frigate. They returned at evening with the joyful news of a prospect of peace. There was a visible change from gloominess to joy in the countenance of all the Turks.
May 27. —Both Turks and Christians were all anxiously looking out for the frigates. It was said that col. Lear had promised to come on shore this morning and that the Spanish consul was preparing a dinner for the gentlemen who were expected to come with him. We were all agitated alternately by hope and despair. The terrace and every eminence in town, were covered with people of all classes and ages, who were looking for the wished for peace-maker. But not a frigate nor a sail have in sight during the day.
May 28. —All looking out again for our squadron. A brig hove in sight in the morning, which we all at first thought was the flag ship. On discovering it was a brig, a gloominess again appeared on every countenance. The Turks began to think that the frigates had gone to fetch the whole fleet, which they had heard consisted of sixty sail of different sizes. They thought that the flag of truce was only a plan of the Americans, to find out the force of Tripoli, &c. But at sun set three frigates and a brig appeared, which revived our hopes. The bashaw shewed the greatest anxiety for peace. He was sensible of the danger he was in from the lowness of his funds and the disaffection of his people.
May 29. —Three frigates and a brig bore down upon the town and displayed the ensigns and signals of peace, which were immediately answered from the castle. The Spanish consul, Pajah the Jew, and several Turks went on board, and did not return till late at night, when it was reported that the negotiations for peace were going on rapidly.
May 31. —The Spanish consul &
Shons Hammad went on board the commodore, and returned at night. The bashaw sent me to inform capt. Bainbridge, that peace was agreed on, which I did to the great joy of the officers.
June 1. —The truce continued. Capt. Bainbridge went on board the commodore and returned at night. Our men were still drove to hard labor, and our officers kept confined.
June 2. —I received a letter from capt. Bainbridge, stating that the terms of peace were agreed on, and that we should soon go on board the squadron. I immediately read this letter to our crew, who were so overjoyed that many of them shed tears. They were still drove to hard work, and many of them flogged.
June 3. —The articles of peace were signed, and salutes fired from the frigates and batteries.
June 6. —I bid the bashaw a final adieu, at which he seemed much affected.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The wood used in Tripoli is brought in on jack-asses; six of them carry about half a cord.
There are many remains of antiquity in Tripoli. There are nine pillars to the portico of the house in which the American officers lived. They are of marble, and have the appearance of great antiquity. There are many columns of Roman and Grecian architecture, wrought into the corners of some of the houses, without form or regularity. The streets of Tripoli are narrow and dirty, and the houses present a dead wall. Many of the houses are partly composed of broken marble, full of engravings and inscriptions, mostly defaced.
Marriages are proclaimed in Tripoli, by one or two old women, who run through the streets making a most hideous yelling, and frequently clapping their hands to their mouths, similar to the American Indians in their pow wows .
The following principal articles of faith, constitute the religion of the Turks:—That there is but one God, and that Mahomet is the messenger of God. Their commandments are but five in number, viz: 1st. To pray five times a day. 2d. To fast in lent, or ramadan . 3d. To give alms and perform the works of charity. 4th. To go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. 5th. To keep the body clean.
Four other points are deemed to be of importance though not of absolute necessity to salvation, viz: To keep Friday as Sabbath; to be circumcised; to drink no wine; and to abstain from swine's flesh, or things strangled. Many of the inhabitants of Tripoli strictly adhere to this religion.
[We have now completed the publication of all the extracts we have made from Dr. Cowdery's journal. They have occupied a considerable portion of the paper for some weeks; but they have been of two interesting a nature to be tiresome. Dr. Cowdery has in contemplation to publish a pamphlet or small volume, to be entitled "The American Captives in Tripoli, containing the particulars of the capture of the Philadelphia frigate, a general description of Tripoli, with the adjacent country, its curiosities, &c. and a sketch of the customs and manners of its inhabitants—to which will be added, the journal at full length, kept during his captivity, & an appendix containing the treaties and general relations between the United States and the Barbary powers." Some accurate views and drawings will be attached to the work. Edit. Bal.
TWENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN.
Schauenbrunn, Nov. 15. Prince Marat and the corps of marshal Lannes, yesterday overtook the Russian army at Hoffbrunn. A skirmish of cavalry took place; but the enemy immediately abandoned the field, leaving 100 baggage waggons in our hands.
The enemy had effected a junction, and the dispositions for an attack made, when an Austrian flag of truce advanced, and requested permission for the troops of the Emperor of Germany, to separate themselves from the Russians. Their request was acceded to.
Shortly after, the baron Wintzingerode, aid-de-camp general to his majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, presented himself at the advanced posts, and offered to capitulate for the Russian army. Prince Marat intended to consent to it, but the Emperor of France did not approve of the capitulation. The Emperor did not give his assent to it, because this capitulation is a kind of treaty, for the fulfilment of which, M. Wintzingerode did not shew his powers from the Emperor of Russia. In the mean time, his majesty on ordering his army to march, declared, that if the Emperor Alexander, who was in the neighbourhood, should agree to a capitulation, he was ready to ratify it.
General Viallanes, commanding the cavalry of Marshal Devoust, has entered Pilsberg, gen. count de Palfi has written a letter to which marshal Devoust has returned an answer. The two letters are subjoined.
A body of 3000 Austrians have entrenched themselves in the position of Waldemunchen, on the borders of Bohemia, gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers, at the head of three battalions of dismounted dragoons, marched against that corps which precipitately abandoned their posts.
He had arrived on the eighth at Trinity, in Bohemia, and expected to overtake the above corps.
Marshal Ney has been appointed to take possession of the Tyrol. He acquitted himself with his usual intrepidity and sagacity. He turned the forts of Schauritz and Newmark and soon made himself master of them. In his office he took 1800 men, a band of colors and 15 field pieces.
On the 6th, at 5 P. M. he made his entry into Inspruck. He there found an arsenal filled with artillery, 16,000 muskets and an immense quantity of powder. The same day he entered Halle, where he also took possession of very large and valuable magazines, of which he has not given an inventory. The archduke John, who commanded in the Tyrol, escaped by the way of Luchthal. He ordered a colonel to deliver the magazines into the hands of the French, and to recommend to their generosity 1200 sick who were at Inspruck.
To all these glorious deeds has been added a scene which has touched the hearts of all the soldiers. During the last war, the 76th regiment of the line, lost two standards in the Grisons. This loss has been for a long time deeply lamented by that corps. These brave men knew that Europe had not forgotten their misfortune, though it could not accuse them of cowardice. These standards, the subject of such noble regret, have been found in the arsenal of Inspruck. One of the officers recognized them, and they were immediately surrounded by the soldiers. When Marshal Ney restored them with the usual ceremonies, tears trickled down the cheeks of the veteran soldiers. The young conscripts were overjoyed at having assisted in retaking those standards which were wrested from their elder brethren in arms by the vicissitudes of war. The emperor has given orders to have this affecting scene commemorated by an emblematic engraving. The French soldiery entertain for their colors, an attachment that borders on veneration. They regard them with the same affection, as a present from the hands of a mistress.
General Klein has made an incursion into Bohemia, with his division of Dragoons. He has every where observed the Russians to be held in the greatest detestation. The depredations which they commit, causes the loudest lamentations. The irruption of these barbarians, who have been invited by the very government itself, has almost erased from the hearts of the Austrians, all affection for their prince. "We and the French (says the Germane) are the children of the Romans; but the Russians are the descendants of the Tartars. We had a thousand times rather have the arms of the French against us, than such allies as the Russians with us." At Vienna the very name of a Russian inspires them with horror. These hordes of savages are not content with pillaging for their subsistence, but they carry off or destroy every thing. The poor peasant, who possesses nothing in his cottage but his rags, is even robbed of them. The rich man, who occupies a palace, has no hope of appealing them with his riches; they plunder him and leave him bare under his naked roof.
This, without doubt, is the last time that Europe will invite to her protection such dreadful allies. But should they be capable of doing so again, they will have to pay them for riding even their own dominions. For a century to come it will be impossible for an Austrian prince to introduce a Russian army into his territory. It is not to be supposed that there are not in these armies a number of well educated officers, whose manners are mild and whose understandings are enlightened. In speaking of the army, we always allude to the habits of the soldiery.
CAPITULATION
Proposed by the Russian army.
It has been agreed between the general of division, Belliard, chief of the staff, provided it should receive the sanction of his serene highness prince Murat, grand admiral, marshal of the empire, and lieutenant of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy—and M. the baron of Wintzingerode, major general of the armies, aid-de-camp general to his majesty the emperor of the Russias, provided it should be confirmed by his majesty, viz.
There shall, from the signature of the present conditions, be an armistice between the corps of the army under the orders of his highness prince Murat, and

the Russian army commanded by the general in chief count de Kutusow.
The Russian army shall quit Germany, and immediately commence its march by the same route that it took in entering it, in which case, prince Murat consents to suspend his march into Moravia.
The present conditions not to have effect until after having received the ratification of his majesty, the emperor Napoleon. In the mean time the Russian army and the corps of prince Murat, shall remain in the positions which they at present occupy.
In the event of their non-concurrence by the emperor, four hours notice shall be given previously to the breaking of the armistice.

Letter from general count de Palsi.
His royal highness the archduke Palatine, in his quality of supreme, civil and military chief of Hungary, has charged the undersigned to declare, that his royal highness has established along the western frontiers of this kingdom, a cordon of troops, supported by small detachments of cavalry, composed of invalids and recruits, with the sole view of arresting the marauders of the Austrian army, who may be found there. It cannot, therefore, be supposed that he has any hostile views, these detachments having positive orders to retire on the approach of the French troops to the frontiers.
As these small detachments, which should not be considered otherwise than as scouting parties, are to fall back on the approach of the French army, his royal highness has given to the hospitals, to the houses of education, to the pensionary officers, and the individuals employed in arranging the accounts of the regiments and military hospital, to remain in their places, persuaded that the general, or commander of the French troops, will not refuse to grant them the necessary protection, and that he will give orders that the detachment of the French army which shall enter Hungary, shall not commit any excess, provided no kind of opposition be made to them—and that in consequence of this declaration, the undersigned will have many important points to discuss with the general or commandant of the French troops.
He requests him to grant a meeting on parole, in a boat in the middle of the Danube.
He waits for his answer, and has the honor to be his very humble servant.
LEOPOLD, count Palsi, Major general commandant at Pressburg.
ANSWER Of general Debousi to general count de Palsi.
I have laid before his majesty the letter which you addressed to the commandant of my light cavalry. His majesty has charged me to make known, thro' you, to his royal highness the archduke Palatine, that he is ready to respect the neutrality of the Hungarians, and to forbid his army to enter the frontiers of Hungary, if on his part his royal highness the archduke Palatine, and the Hungarian people are willing to withdraw their troops, to make no insurrection, to continue to supply Vienna with provisions, and in fine to conclude between them, the archduke Palatine and his majesty the emperor of the French, a convention tending to maintain a harmony between the two countries. I am authorized to permit any officer to pass, whom his royal highness the archduke Palatine may wish to send to my sovereign, to treat upon this basis. I shall feel myself happy in thus having an opportunity of doing a favor to your countrymen, and promoting the welfare of a people possessed of so many estimable qualities as those of Hungary are.
I have the honor to be, Mr. General, Your very humble servant,
(Signed) L. DAVOUST, Marshal of the empire, and one of the colonel-generals of the guard of his majesty the emperor and king.
DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.
BRUNN, November 15. Our Court Gazette contains the following official account.
OCCURRENCES OF THE WAR.
A courier who arrived on the 14th November, to his majesty the emperor and king, from the commandant in chief of the Russian army, count Kutusow, brought the joyful news of a complete victory which had been obtained over the enemy's division under the command of marshal Mortier, between Stein and Weiskirchen, near Krems.
The following are the particulars extracted from the report made on the field of battle:—On the 9th November, the Russian army passed the Danube.—Its rear was pressed by the enemy till it arrived at Stein, and the commanding general received on the 9th and 10th to pass over the bank of the Danube, and
to burn the bridges.—This was the more necessary, as we had received certain information that the enemy had re-established the bridge at Lintz and that already one division of their army was on this bank of the Danube. On the afternoon of the 10th the enemy approached our fore posts in the neighbourhood of Dierstein, drove them back with a superiority of force along the Danube; from Weiskirchen to Stein, and on the approach of night our army could with difficulty maintain themselves on the Stein. It was determined, therefore, to attack the enemy on the morning of the 11th, at Weiskirchen, in three columns, preserving that order as much as possible in a country covered with vineyards. At Weiskirchen, he had assembled a number of vessels to cut off his retreat.—The happiest results crowned this determined enterprise, executed with as much prudence as steadiness in valor. The enemy was defeated and those parts of his division who could not save themselves in some of the ships, were either killed or taken prisoners. The number of the former cannot be ascertained with exactness, but the following is a list of the prisoners:—The chief de brigade, Grain D'Orge, 3 colonels, 1 lieut. col. 36 superior officers, & 2000 men, among whom were the 4th regiment of dragoons. Five canoes were taken. Marshal Mortier, who commanded the enemy's division, is missing. He is thought to be dead. The loss of the Russian troops is in proportion inconsiderable. It consists for the most part, of wounded, among whom are a general and several officers.
But this brilliant and victorious day cost an excellent man his life. Lieut. field marshal Schmidt, who had been given as quarter master general, to the Russian army, died the death of a hero, after he (as general Kutusow remarks) had contributed to the victory, and had attacked the enemy both flank & rear. The loss of this man, who had served 40 years, and during the last war acquired a distinguished reputation, will be deeply felt by the sovereigns both of Russia and Austria, who know well to appreciate merit. His name is his own monument.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 7.
By the Truxton arrived from Lisbon in 36 days, Paris papers have been received to the 12th December.
On the 14th November, Bonaparte entered Vienna. The Russian army proposed to capitulate with prince Murat, who agreed to permit them to return to their own country in safety, through Moravia, but this capitulation the emperor Napoleon refused to confirm, because it wanted the signature of the emperor Alexander, who was then actually in the neighbourhood of the army.
Ministers plenipotentiaries had been appointed by the emperor of Austria to treat of a general pacification: Mon. Talleyrand was appointed on the part of France—and not the least doubt was entertained of a peace being established between the two countries—and if the Russian army ever reach their own country, it will be owing to the clemency of Bonaparte.
On the side of Italy the arms of France appear equally victorious.—One of the late bulletins from gen. Massena, announces the capture of 6000 cavalry and 1200 infantry under the command of prince De Rohan, after a desperate engagement.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 7.
Message from the President of the United States, respecting the violation of Neutral Rights; the depredations on the Colonial Trade, & Impressments of American Seamen.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
In my message to both houses of congress, at the opening of their present session, I submitted to their attention, among other subjects, the oppression of our commerce and navigation by the irregular practices of armed vessels, public and private, and by the introduction of new principles, derogatory of the rights of neutrals, and acknowledged by the usage of nations.
The memorials of several bodies of merchants of the United States, are now communicated, and will develop these principles and practices, which are producing the most ruinous effects on our lawful commerce and navigation.
The right of neutrals to carry on commercial intercourse with every part of the dominions of a belligerent, permitted by the laws of the
country (with the exception of blocked ports, and contraband of war) was believed to have been decided between Great Britain and the United States, by the sentence of their commissioners, mutually appointed to decide on that and other questions of difference between the two nations; and by the actual payment of the damages awarded by them against Great Britain, for the infractions of that right. When, therefore, it was perceived that the same principles were revived, with others more novel, and extending the injury, instructions were given to the minister plenipotentiary of the United States at the court of London, and remonstrances duly made by him, on this subject, as will appear by documents transmitted herewith. These were followed by a partial and temporary suspension only, without any disavowal of the principle. He has, therefore, been instructed to urge this subject anew, to bring it more fully to the bar of reason, and to insist on rights too evident, and too important to be surrendered. In the mean time, the evil is proceeding under adjudications founded on the principle which is denied. Under these circumstances the subject presents itself for the consideration of congress.
On the impression of our seamen our remonstrances have never been intermitted.—A hope existed at one moment, of an arrangement which which have been submitted to, but it soon passed away, and the practice though relaxed at times in the distant seas, has been constantly pursued in those of our neighbourhood. The grounds on which the reclamations on this subject have been urged, will appear in an extract from instructions to our minister at London, now communicated.

A CARD,
To the Editor of the Palladium. Sir—In November or December last, you gave publicity to the presentment (as it was termed) of the grand jury of Louisiana, in which the character of Judge Easton was wickedly and unjustly assailed.—In the "Kentucky Gazette Extra," of the 30th of January, a vindication of Judge Easton made its appearance; I had flattered myself that your sense of "equal and exact justice," would have induced you to give it a place in the Palladium—But having waited a month, and not seeing it appear, I have, as a friend of Judge Easton, to request that you will give it an early insertion—It is too long for one paper, let it commence in one number, and be continued and concluded in another. This reasonable request, I have not a doubt but you will comply with—for it is no more than just, that a man should be defended by the same "medium thro'" which he has been attacked—There are always two sides to a subject, and a perfect knowledge of both are necessary to the formation of a correct and impartial decision.

PARIS, December 2.
M. de Stadion, late minister from the emperor of Germany at the court of Russia, and M. the lieutenant-general count de Gouy have been presented to his majesty the emperor of the French at Brunn, as plenipotentiaries of his majesty the emperor of Germany: They are invested with powers to negotiate, conclude, and sign a definite treaty of peace between France and Austria. On his side the emperor of the French has nominated M. de Talleyrand, (the minister for foreign relations) whom he has invested with powers to that effect. It is to be hoped that peace will be the result of their negotiations; but this ought not to diminish in the least the zeal of the soldiers or of the nation: It is, on the contrary, a new motive for the conspirators to accelerate their march, in order to justify that well known adage, Si vis pacem para bellum. His majesty has given orders to the ministers of war and of the interior to relax nothing in their preparations.
