After •:ating that they had made known the existence of
the Confederacy to M. d'Albiiii, at the end of the year
IROO, that they hail at first fixed a general rising for the night
of the Ist February, 1801, but that not h..witlq receiv.ll a reply
to a letter, in which they had sol;cive I iieconairy aid, they
were forccel to put off the riiing to th•e o•glt of the sith March ;
before that time, they were inform. ••t the c•mclu.n.o of the
treaty of Laineville on 9th February. That M. d'Albins Own
declined all concern in their affairs; that the French peon.
m•nt began to suspect the existence of the confederacy; and
that, seeing thenieleecabsildui..ll by tile wield, they wei•
forced to remain quiet :ill a favourable oppintunity should wire,
which opportunity was now affordol then, by the war between
France and Eneantl. They pra•e,.l, "We think we are US-
t fled in sti..pwing this to be the favourable moment by the
f4.loWii.;;
" Ist. Tne fortresses of the country, though welt supplied
with amniundi. 41, 6,i tiller!, and ahnu,t e•airely un-

" 21. The, la,el toners of France are now dis cruet from the
extremity of Italy to the north of Germany, and consequently
cannot be 'suited ,s'on enough to oppose to tic at first a suffi-
cient Puce to 'tide the insurrection in its cradle.

" &I. The pen& of these countries are its much as possible
irritated again+t the French, sn that we have reasoe to flatter
ourselves that net only the majorlti, but the peneiality of all
the Ciarhlnane people will ►e on our side, and so much the
more, because thorn even who were formerly partisans of the
Revolution, seem; their hopes frustrated, acknowledge their
error, and the perfidy of she French promises, and sigh (or their

" 4th. The force of the Confederacy .s much more eonsider•
able than it was in 1801, for then we. reckoned 0:11. lio,ooo,
whereat' now we are upwards it 17°,00(!, and we may be- car.
tam that, by the other anal.ennt-ins who w.ll join u., the num
ber will exceed 300,0u0 before ten days elaine after the insur-
rection besides, nor country abound, in grain awl etoreoona
ofall kinds, se that we have no need to purchase them else
where, at least at first

" sth. There exists in the interior of France, andchiefly in
the neighbouring departmegts, another Confedeacy, called
the Unrsins, which only wait, for a favourshle moment to visa
140 iii order to overthrow the press it Got 2risinetit, and to re-
establish the Republic and Constitution of 1795, ur of the
year 5 • this Confederacy, which extemis it: ramifications
throughout France, is infinitely more numerous than ours, but
t,o dispersed to be abl ts unite, unless an external shock af-
ford then an occasion; they rely much on partisans among
the troops : so that we have room to believe that the enemy,
occupied by internal troubles, which, as Ills been agreed with
the Chiefs of the Unmet, at Witten Fontaine, near Rocniy,
in Champagne, on the 15th of Feb. 1801, will immediately de-
clare themselves after the insurrection of 1110 coniuvrel nnun-
tries, will not be able to oppose to us any vary consnlerahle
force.

's 6th. Holland, oppressed like us be her pitiless conqueso,
reduced from the rank of a &avert:en State, to that et a tribu•
use province, reined in her corninernri slog equally for her
deliverance, and are ere sure, that the mutt uc r.se, al:
that countty will unite with us to throw oq the rre.cli yoke,
and rest we its ancient piosperity."
These motives, the importance of which it is ea., to sse,
make th, hope th.it the present war between His M.ipt•tv the
King of Great Nut ill), and the French Government, will fur
lush us with en occasion so long de,iied, to break the fetters
that have enslaved us for eight or nine years, and to pin an
end to the calamities which French lawny hat heaiteil 111),141
tr.; and it was in this h.ipe„ that we made, 0:1 the '.l9th May,
the he•t opening of our proietts to Nfr. T., I.e, His Malestr's
Min..ter to the Prince wt liege, who has niformst.l us that he
would acquaint his Government with it, and szto.l us theit re-
ply. In the expectation of that reply, we hay: recumnienerd
our aol have P. organised the oiuhslenscv, rah violet
that, .horrid that reply be favor/able, as we Witter annul., it
w id, we ma., without further delay, adopt such a system 01
aftivity, as that the insurreniou shall take place before the
winter.

The two pi Lures we have the honour to annex to the pre
cent, contain, first, the detailed account of our forces ;
second, the sketch of the protected military organisation. In
referring to the nieninrial which our Charge d'Affaires then
transmitted to M dated the 19th Deceentiv, IS:N,
and which, accontin; to the assurance of the iartsr, Wit to
Mr. Wickha in, Minister Plenipotentiary with the roilviceil
armies, these two picture: will suffice to make known to woo
the present state of the confederacy. It reinain. for us only to
pre you a sketch of the manner in which we design to have
the insaireztion take place, aid of the inilitaiy operations that
are to follow it.

The rising will rake place in all the country in the same
night, which remains hi be determined upon; we shall begin
by surprising, in that night, by different divisiint. (the force of
which wilt be proportioned to that of the garrison), all the

which we shall acituaint them with tho exitteoce and

the Confederates, under pain of hong heated ea
.At ths came time we shall proclaim the abolition of all th.s in-
direct imposts, such as the duty of registry, the stamp duty,
co.tion ditty, patent., right Cdpassage, and all the ground

shall be empliweri in paying the troops, and to the e‘poicer o!
