TRIAL OF JAMES HADFIELD.
Yesterday came on in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster, the trial of James Hadfield for High Treason. The court and all passages near it were excessively crowded at a very early hour. At nine o'clock the four Judges of the King's Bench arrived, and the prisoner was brought into court. He appeared to be calm and collected, and was neatly dressed.
Proclamation being then made by the officer of the court, the panel of the names was called over, and the following gentlemen were sworn upon the Jury:
Luke Flood, Esq. Foreman. Thomas Bullock, Matthew Oliver, Peter Adams, Thomas Windle, John Grant, Charles Rich, Webb Mallard, John Warren, Thomas Bingham, W. Blackmore, and William Watson, Esquires.
Proclamation being made a second time for the witnesses to give their attendance, the clerk of the crown read the indictment, which charged James Hadfield, that he, being a natural born subject of our lord the king, but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the devil, as a false traitor, with the love and obedience which every faithful subject ought to pay to his majesty on the 15th of May, in the 40th year of his majesty's reign, at the parish of St. Martin in the fields, maliciously, traitorously and wickedly imagining and compassing to put to death our lord the king; and to fulfil that wicked purpose, he, the said James Hadfield, did procure and obtain a certain pistol, gunpowder and leaden bullets, with an intent to shoot at, kill, and assassinate our said lord the king. There were two other counts, charging him with going to the theatre secretly armed, and with shooting at the king, with intent to kill the king, against his allegiance, against the peace of the king, his crown, and dignity. To this indictment the prisoner had pleaded Not Guilty, and put himself upon the country, which country the jury were.
Mr. Abbott opened the pleadings on the part of the prosecution.
The Attorney General then rose, and addressed the jury:—The prisoner, as they had heard was indicted for High Treason, a crime of the utmost magnitude, and involving in its probable consequence every thing which was most sacred in the institution of civil society. The oaths charged in the indictment were all repeated against the person of the king. He was first charged with procuring a pistol, &c. He was next charged with going secretly armed to the play-house; and lastly, he was charged with firing a pistol against the person of his majesty, all of them with the same intent, namely, that of killing the king. Upon this subject, of which the jury had probably heard much in private conversation, it was their duty to discharge every thing that they had to hear from their minds, and attend only to the evidence which they should that day hear upon oath. It was his intention, if he could, to state correctly what that evidence would be. He should endeavour to do it concisely and truly, for the purpose of giving them a correct view of the whole subject; and of facilitating them in taking a view of the whole case, by concentrating the several parts under one distinct point. The crime charged was that of imagining and contriving the death of the king. The law made that imagination and compassing criminal, if it were manifested by any overt acts. The law made firing at any person a crime of a capital nature. The evidence would prove beyond a possibility of doubt the facts, and he would produce them evidence to show the conduct of the prisoner both before and after he fired the pistol. He would trace him from the time of getting the pistol, and procuring the powder. He would trace him from two o'clock that day, when they would find that he procured two pistols, but let one behind him for a reason which they would hear from the witnesses. He would trace him from thence to the time of his going to the theatre; he would show the conversation which he held respecting his intention of going to the theatre, he would show, that he concealed the arms, so that these near him did not think that he had any, until the moment he used them. At that moment he was thrown over the orchestra, and he should also produce evidence to show his conduct at that period. From circumstances that had passed, he was left to suppose, that the answer of the case would be, that he was in the unfortunate situation of being afflicted with insanity. It would therefore, become his duty to state to the jury what he considered to be the law of the case. He apprehended that by the law of this country, if a person was completely deranged in mind, so as not to know what were the consequences of his actions, and incapable of discriminating between good and evil, that such a person could not commit any crime because the will was wanting, a certain portion of which was necessary to the essence of every crime; but grievous indeed would be the situation of every man in this country, if those who had labored under occasional fits of insanity were to be excused any crime that they might commit. In the case of idiocy, of complete privation of reason, the person stood excused, because he was not blessed with the faculty of judging between right and wrong; or of an infant who had not obtained reason sufficient to enable him to judge between right and wrong; but when they were weighing the result of an act in the court of criminal jurisprudence, the jury would examine what degree of in-
telligence the person committing the act possessed at the time of doing it; thus persons of weak understandings have committed crimes, and have been punished for them, because they had sufficient knowledge to know the nature of the act, although their understandings were below the ordinary standard. Thus again, in the case of a child, they did judge not from his years but from his capacity. If it showed that he had a knowledge sufficient to judge of the nature and consequences of the act, though not a complete view of it, yet that had been constantly held ground sufficient to find those guilty who were of very tender age. He took the law to be the same with respect to insanity. He took it that it had been so laid down by persons, for whom they who stood there had been used to pay the greatest regard:—Lord Chief Justice Coke, in his plea of the crown, says, "that a non co-poss mensis could not commit treason, but that it must be an absolute man's act." And Lord Chief Justice Hale, in commenting upon this passage, says, "that the true way of judging was in the case of an infant; and according to this doctrine was the decision in two memorable cases in the state trials." The first to which he alluded was the case of Edward Arnold, who was indicted for shooting at Lord Onslow. There was not a doubt but that the man was deranged; and as with respect to Lord Onslow himself, what was the opinion of the court in that case? That the prisoner had a steady regular delirium, and took all proper means to accomplish his object, and had therefore discretion enough to make him an object of punishment. The court, in summing up, stated that the fact was proved beyond doubt; but whether it was malicious, must be deduced from the nature of the insanity. That if the prisoner was under the visitation of God, and knew not what he did, he could not be guilty; but that, on the other hand, it was not every particular insanity would serve for excuse; but it must be one which deprives a man of reason, and left him in a state of not knowing more than a brute or an infant the nature of the action he committed. Therefore the jury would decide as to that fact. Such was the reasoning of Mr. Justice Tracy on that case. That law had never been contradicted, but adopted in succeeding cases.

Vix ea cunctis Diis Ilocut.
It is a bad way of serving a good cause to endeavour to disguise those faults by which it has been lost. It is now as clear as the day, that the two French Generals perfectly succeeded in imposing upon the Austrians in respect to their military plans and the state of their armies. The skillful manoeuvres of Moreau and the audacity of Buonaparte on the one side, and the inconceivable security of the Court of Vienna, and its Generals on the other, have produced the disastrous result of the campaign. The fate of Italy is decided; and Austria is forced to a peace by the destruction of its army of Italy, the surrender of all the strong places of Piedmont, and the defensive measures to which the army of Suabia has been reduced. Every one attempts to explain the causes which produced the incomprehensible disasters of Italy. For this purpose each has recourse to systematic suppositions.
We now present those positive incontrovertible facts, which throw full light upon the simple and natural causes of those melancholy events which we have now to deplore. Amongst the causes, some belong to the political system of the Court of Vienna, and others are the consequence of the character of Melas.
The Court of Vienna, as is well known, did not permit the re-establishment of any of the Sovereigns of Italy, and was consequently obliged to disperse its garrisons over that vast extent of country, in order to restrain it. It had 30,000 men spread in various parts from Roule to Ferrara, to command the respect of the inhabitants of the Papal territories, which it expected to retain notwithstanding the wishes loudly proclaimed by the subjects of the Sardinian Pontiff. If it had restored the people to their lawful rulers and had employed these 30,000 men to defend the entrances of the Alps, and of Switzerland against the army of reserve, and that of General Mincey, it is evident to the eyes of every military man, that the Cispalpine troops could never have passed the mountains, nor have descended through the valleys. An excuse is set up for it on account of its ignorance of the state of the army of reserve. But is a cabinet excusable for being ignorant of that which all the public know—which all the Gazettes published? And even in a doubtful case, should it not have taken the most common precautions of prudence? Nothing, however, of that kind was done. As far as we have seen. The enemy was already master of Piacenza, when 10,000 men from Parma came to reinforce the garrison, which consisted of more than 6,000 men.
The faults committed by General Melas are not less astonishing. He had two parts to take: Either to collect all his scattered divisions, and concentrate them between the Tenaro and the Po, and wait for an opportunity of falling upon the Cispalpine army, if it undertook any siege; or to march against the enemy, without giving him time for fortifying himself on the right side of the Po, to secure his magazines, and to re-establish his communication with General Vukassovich. The latter part was what he determined on; but why not march with all his forces? Why confine himself to sending 4 or 5,000 men to reinforce? When we observe that
the latter, with 20,000 men, kept the victory in balance during the whole day with various success; when we consider that he only yielded to numbers, and, after having been turned on his left, we surely may presume, that had Melas arrived in person, and with all his forces to the battle of Calleggio, the loss of which prepared the disasters of Mincio, it would have been attended with a success very different from what it had.—We will not revert to the essential fault of Melas in losing fifteen days in vain parades upon the Var; but confine ourselves to this simple consideration, which is clear, positive, and obvious to every reader.

BALTIMORE, August 22.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
UNINFLUENCED by any expectations that may have been given through any improper or inaccurate publication in the public prints—but conceiving it a duty we owe to our fellow-citizens, the board, after having spared no pains to acquire a full knowledge of the state of the health of the city, especially of that part called Fell's Point, both by personal inspection, as well as by collecting all the information we could obtain from the Physicians and other inhabitants on the said Point, are now enabled to lay before the public a candid statement of facts:
Westward of Jones's falls, the city at present is uncommonly healthy, notwithstanding a few solitary cases of sudden deaths have lately happened therein. On Fell's Point, we find an inflammatory fever now exists—it first made its appearance along the water next the cove, between the inspection house and the canal-way and progressing gradually up Bond and Fleet-streets, and thence spread in various directions into other adjacent streets. We have no hesitation in declaring it to be entirely owing to our own local sources of filth, vegetable and animal putrefaction and miasmatic effluvia within and around that part of the city, particularly the foul shore of the cove abovementioned, and not to any imported or human contagion. This being also the unanimous opinion of the faculty in that part of the city, strongly points out that the means of prevention in future, under favor of Divine Providence, are in our own hands, and that a rigorous and energetic execution of the nuisance and health ordinances must, and we have no doubt, will take place.
We are happy in stating, that in our visit to Fell's Point yesterday, we found that since the fall of rain on the 17th instant, there seems to be a suspension of the contagious influence of the atmosphere, the number of new cases having greatly diminished, owing to the coolness of the weather, and an uncommon high tide, with a fresh S. E. wind which is washing and cleansing the said foul shore. Finding it difficult to ascertain with accuracy the number that have been taken sick and that have died since the commencement of the disease, we can only say that the physicians, one and all, informed us, that but a small number, comparatively speaking, of their patients have died. But being desirous to deal in facts and not in conjecture, we called upon all the practising physicians on the Point and obtained from them the actual number of their patients at present, and among them the number of those which in their opinions are dangerous. The total number of sick being 115 Supposed dangerous 12 This compared with a daily return of the burials, which we shall continue to publish from this day forward, signed by the secretary, will enable our fellow citizens to judge for themselves; as it is the mortality of a disease that ought to designate its malignant nature, and not the number of the diseased. As occasion may require we shall give further information of its operation; and we earnestly recommend to all concerned, cautiously to avoid all exciting causes, among which are, intemperance in drink and diet, catching cold from thin clothing, night air or rain, and violent exercise or labor under a hot sun.
Thus, fellow citizens, you have now before you an undisguised view of the real state of the present disease—whether we are censured by some for being too candid, or by others for not using a more terrific name in describing it, is with us no consideration. Placed as we are, as guardians to watch over the health of the city, the faithful discharge of our duty alone has governed us, and we trust always will.

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING AUGUST 25.
We have received a New York paper of this morning, containing the trial of Hadfield; — part of it will be found in this days paper.
This morning a fire broke out in the sugar-house of Mr. Edward Pennington, in Rice-Street—and did considerable damage before it was extinguished.
The Editor of the New-York Daily Advertiser, promises a translation from a Paris paper of an interesting detail of the trial of the ship Pigou, containing a lengthy speech of the Commissary General, together with a late maritime law of great consequence to merchants and underwriters, which has never been published in America.
The following MARINE article we copy from an Eastern paper:
Wind at S. W. Butter cheap and market plentifully supplied with provisions!!
The Duke of Kent who failed from Halifax, (where he has been for two years past) on the 3d inst. for London, has had a speech made for him by Duane, published in the Aurora, said to have been spoken lately in London, on the Divorce Bill!!
N O PUFF.
The modest Duane tells his readers, that he receives letters "admiring the ABILITY [Quiz] with which the Aurora is conducted. This equals Hopkins & Razor Straps.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in St. Thomas, dated July 30.
"The Governor of Guadalupe has sent four privateers and 400 men against Curacao, to bring to reason the Governor, of that Island. The consequence of this extraordinary expedition is not yet known."
Ebenezer Saunders, who was convicted of robbing the mail, and imprisoned in the jail of Annapolis, lately put a period to his existence by laudanum.
The United States Schooner Enterprize, Lieutenant Shaw, has lately taken two French privateers, viz: the Schooner L'Aigle, mounting ten guns and 80 men, and the Schooner Flambeau, of twelve guns and 98 men. The Flambeau engaged the Enterprize nearly two glasses, when having her foremast shot away, and the Enterprize being about to board, she struck her colours. L'Aigle was engaged 15 minutes, and had several killed and wounded; among the former was the first lieutenant. During her last cruise, she has captured American property to the amount of 295,000 dollars. The Enterprize in both these actions lost none of her crew.
The spirit displayed by the enterprising capt. Shaw of the Experiment is applauded even by our Jacobins. (Those of foreign birth only excepted), to have taken two armed vessels of force, equal to their own, in fair battle, and in one short cruise, has fallen to the lot of but very few naval commanders of any country. Indeed a history of the many instances of courage displayed by our countrymen both in battle and in re-captures, by skill, united with bravery, would have no parallel in the naval affairs, even of Europe.
It was worthy of remark that those very Jacobins who on the first appearance of the letter to MAZZINI, called it "ever and anon" a forery to injure the character of Vice, P. O. finding that Mr. Jefferson could no longer escape from the charge, have had the unparalled effortry at last to justify its malevolent contents.
Thus it has been time immemorial with all ignorant Slaves to mere found, or to the most barefaced pretention.—If any worthless individual could find money enough to pay for either a daub of his "effigies" for a Sign Post, A Printer or a few Puffs in a Jacobin Paper, with "friend of the people" annexed—the monster hence forward might devour a roasted child, and kiss his neighbours wives daily, and he would still find wretches who would cry out for such incontestable evidence of Love for the People. History is fill'd with damning proofs of such venality in the Jacobins of all ages from Absalom down to Robespierre and even to the present moment.
INTERESTING.
In the case of the Danish ship Mullenfels, captain Paul Boyesen, from Philadelphia to Amsterdam, with a valuable cargo of sugars, coffee, tobacco, &c. captured by the St. Albans British man of war, and carried to Halifax, where the ship and cargo (except a very small part) have been condemned on the following grounds, viz:
The several parts of the cargo claimed by Messrs. Wilson Hunt, Wilcocks & Co. Henry & Boggs, and — Day, were condemned upon nearly similar grounds. In the case of Wilson Hunt it appears by his letter to his correspondent in Amsterdam, that a Mr. Saikeld, one of the house of Messrs. Barclay & Co. of London, had previously shipped property to Amsterdam on account of that house; and with regard to the property on board the Mullenfels, the letter of Mr. Hunt stated it to have been subject to the sole direction of Messrs. Barclay & Co. and upon that ground the Judge decreed it to be a trade carried on with the enemy by a British subject, and thereupon condemned it.
In the case of Messrs. Wilcocks & Co. their letter to their correspondent in Holland stated their property (the not in such strong terms as that of Mr. Hunt) to be subject to the directions of Messrs. Baring and Co. of London, and the Bills of Lading specified the Coffee to be delivered to that House, who were also requested to give their approbation to the correspondent appointed by Messrs. Wilcocks at Amsterdam, and upon these grounds the Judge did not think himself warranted to distinguish between this case and that of Wilson Hunt.
In the case of Henry & Boggs, the property was shipped to their order, but the Bill of Lading being endorsed to Messrs. George Barclay & Co. of London, and the Judge conceiving Mr. Henry to be a British subject, that part of the cargo was also condemned upon the ground of its going to an enemy's port.
In the case of — Day, the Judge considered him to be a British subject, and as the proceeds of the property was passing through Amsterdam to his brother in London, a condemnation was also adjudged on the ground of its being a trader between a British subject and the enemy.
The claim of Mr. Bohlen was also rejected, though upon grounds different from the former cases. The Judge asserted him to be a Dutchman, and the property being divided into three separate consignments, deliverable to persons who were to be advised at a future period how to dispose of the proceeds. The court condemned the property as belonging to the enemy.—In this decision he said he was also justified, by a letter from a Dutchman in Phila. to one of the consignees, a house in Amsterdam, containing directions to ship property on his account and risk, to Mr. Bohlen instead of himself, to make it appear Bohlen's property, as he had not resided a sufficient time in America to become a citizen.
The respective property of Messrs. Tarafon and Thunn was condemned on the ground of their being Frenchmen, notwithstanding all that was urged upon the ground of their citizenship and long residence in the United States.
The ship was condemned upon the ground of her having been purchased in an enemy's port, and no bill of sale or regular conveyance from the Frenchman that purchased her at Guadalupe.
It is unnecessary to make any remarks on the acquired part of the cargo.

THE KING AND HIS BEARD. A certain King was once cut by his Barber in shaving. He was very angry and forthwith swore that if any Barber should thereafter draw his blood, he should instantly forfeit his life. Nothing could be more unfortunate; for who would have even a king on such terms? But the king's beard grew notwithstanding his oath; he thought it grew faster than before. Whether this was owing to the encreased heat and effervescence of his system, or was a mere conceit of his imagination, I leave for more learned philosophers to discuss at their leisure. But the fact was, his beard grew on, and nobody was found bold enough to shave it. Neither could the king on any account recede from his oath. The wise men of the nation were called together; the important case was submitted to them; and great wealth and honours were promised to him who should relieve the king. The sitting of the wise men continued a long time. The discussion was very learned and very profound on the obligation of oaths; their different kinds, means of dispensation, &c, &c. and the debate was animated by the promised reward. But still the beard encreased with a slow and steady growth, and regarded not the counsels of the wise men. At length the following report was agreed on and formally made to the king by the venerable President of the assembly—"that after discussing the subject committed to them in every possible mode; after searching the libraries of the learned and exhausting the forms of logic, it was solemnly concluded that his majesty had made a very rash and unfortunate oath, but no remedy for it could be discovered." Alas! said the king, is this all that human wisdom can do, to inform us of the ills we already feel, and confess its inability to lessen or remove them. The assembly of wise men was dissolved, and they all went home without the promised reward; but each was conscious he had made a very conspicuous and honourable figure in the debate. This was a great consolation to them; but none to the king.—The king's wife who was greatly mortified at the growing deformity of the beard, proposed that since the wise men had failed, an assembly of fools should be called, to try what they could do. The reward was doubled, for, although fools were as plenty in his majesty's dominions as elsewhere, it required a strong temptation to induce them to own themselves. After all, the assembly was but thinly attended, and it was generally thought that those who did attend were not the greatest fools—the greater the fool the more unlikely is he to discover and acknowledge it; the discussion was short, and the result the same with that of the wise men. Alas! cried the king, is there so little difference between a wise man and a fool! The one talks a great deal and reasons profoundly, but does nothing, the other does as much and says nothing about it. The Beard by attending on all these discussions has become almost intolerable. I will leave the matter to my wife, said the king, in a fret; she is midway between the wise men and the fools. She advised him to shave himself—God bless me! I thought the king could not have himself;—pray who told you so; I have said no such thing. We sometimes plague ourselves for deep and learned modes of attaining an object, when simple ones are at hand.

CHANSON.
"Ton amour, O Ri le chérie."
Life of my life, thy charming smile, With rapture fires this throbbing breast; For thee, thro' day, I'd bear each toil, And watch, thro' night, to guard thy rest. Fearless, O seek my calm retreat, I'll deck each grot, each bower for thee, And, 'till this heart shall cease to beat, Thou shalt be all the world to me. Tho' winter dear, with howling storm, Drive from the plain the vernal bloom; Thy cheering smiles, thy angel form, Shall make a spring, mid-winter's gloom. And should the storms of life arise, My foul shall never know despair; I'll look for comfort in thine eyes, And in thy arms forget each care. My life, my Zimia, when thou'rt near, What transports in my bosom roll! Thy name, thy gentle voice to hear Is music to thy shepherd's soul. How quickly throbs my anxious heart, My life, my Zimia, when thou'rt near; But fore'd, dear maid, from thee to part, That heart would burst with deep despair. * See No. III.
Extrait of a letter from the private Cabinet of Tippo Sultaun, taken from a very rare and official work published at Calcutta.—We shall continue our Extrait.
Seringapatam, the 2d of April, 1797, the 5th year of the French Republic.
CITIZENS REPRESENTATIVES, YOU cannot be ignorant of the friendship my father and myself have ever entertained for the French. I sought every opportunity of proving it during your former Government and I have done all in my power since the commencement of your revolution to make known to you the sentiments of my heart. From want of opportunity and of intercourse with persons acquainted with your customs and manners, I have not been able before this time to inform you of my intentions. A fortunate chance has sent me citizen Ripaud (one of the officers) who at my request, has answered all the questions which I put to him. I consider him to be worthy of my confidence, and from what he has told me, I perceive it is now the moment for me to revive the friendship which I have always entertained for your nation, I acknowledge the sublimity of your constitution, and as a proof of my sincerity, I propose to your nation and to you a treaty of alliance and fraternity, which shall be for ever indissoluble and shall be founded on republican principles, of sincerity and of good faith; to the end that you and your nation with myself and my people may become one family; that the same oath may bind us for life or for death; that your enemies may be mine and those of my people; and that my enemies may be considered as yours. Thus do I with henceforth to treat with my allies. You now see my disposition towards your country, when I shall receive a proof of yours, I will fulfil my promises, but Citizens Representatives, I will not fulfil these engagements with you until I see your forces as well naval as military actually arrive in India. During the last war (it is with regret that I am obliged to recall to your memory the disasters which my friendship for the French nation has brought upon me.) I maintained with zeal and courage, all the pretensions of the French. The English, the ambitious English, not having sufficient confidence in their own strength and courage to attack me singly, formed an alliance with the Marattas and the Nizam, and attacked me in every quarter. At the very moment when I was on the point of conquering them, the French army under the command of M. de Coffigny, received an order from M. de Buffon to abandon me, though I had paid them well, and they were in want of nothing; but what filled me with indignation was, that those orders extended to M. de Lally, who commanded a body of French in my pay, to withdraw himself with his party, this I opposed and on just grounds. From that moment, my army became disgusted. Reduced singly to my own resources, and abandoned by my allies, I was compelled to make peace, with the loss of half my Dominions, and three Crores and thirty thousand Rupees in specie. Behold what have been my losses, Representatives! What is past is past: I have cited these truths in order to apprise you, that if I should declare war against your enemies, I will not be deserted, nor shall you have the power of making peace without my previous consent, nor without including myself and my people in the treaty. For the security of our reciprocal friendship and good faith, it is necessary to stipulate one preliminary condition. It is this, as my people are ignorant of the customs of the French Republicans, and as the Republicans are equally unacquainted with the customs of my country, if one of the citizens of either party should violate the customs of the other, he shall be reprimanded immediately by his own superior, without any interruption of the good understanding and harmony, which ought to subsist between good allies. I insert this clause, although Citizen Ripaud has assured me, that the observance of the most severe discipline and of respect for the laws exists in the Republican army: Mine shall always be conducted in the same manner. I require also that the commanding officer shall always consult
me on every measure which he may undertake for the destruction of our common enemy, because I am acquainted with the country, its customs and manners. This is a reservation that he cannot consider as offensive. Happy moment! the time is come when I can deposit in the bosom of my friends, the hatred which I bear against these oppressors of the human race. If you will assist me, in a short time, not an Englishman shall remain in India; you have the power and the means of effecting it, by your free negroes, with these new citizens (much dreaded by the English) joined to your troops of the line, we will purge India of these villains. The springs which I have touched have put all India in motion, my friends are ready to fall upon the English; for every thing here rely on my discretion. Your enemies, as I have apprized you, shall be mine. Now you are apprized of my designs, delay not to inform me of yours, but make no promises which you cannot perform. I have retained citizen Ripaud to answer your letters, and I will give him a salary worthy of the situation which he holds near my person. I entreat you not to be offended with him, but on the contrary to approve of what he has done, and to quiet his apprehensions of being considered as a defector of his country and of his colours, (a laudable motive which interests me for his welfare) I request you to authorize him to remain in his present station with me for the service of his country, of your colonies, and of myself. I detained him, nor did he consent to remain till after much solicitation, being extremely attached to the island of Bourbon, to which he belongs. In case you should consent to my propositions, it is necessary you should know the extent of my power to assist the French Republic, and its army.
