MESSAGE OF Tilt .REPITELIC TO Tilt LECIS-
„ . LA.TIVE BODY.

" LEGISLATORS,
‘‘ The Republic triumphs, and its Enemies.
again implore its moderation. .
" The fame of the Vi6iory of Hobe/dine/en
has been heard throughout all Europe, it will
be reckoned in the number of the most gloriots
days wbich`'have illustrated French valour ; but
it had scarcely been considered as any thing b)
oar defenders, who never consider thegnselve, as
having conquered, but Nvhen there remain no
longer any Enemies of the Country.

" The Army of the Rhine has passed the
Inn ; every day has there been a Battle, and
every Battle has been a triumph. The Gallo.
Batavian Army conquered at Bamberg ; the
Army of the Grisons, amid snows and ice crossed
the Sphigen to turn the formidable Linin of the
Mine. io and the Adige. The Army of Italy has
carried the Passage of the Mimi° by main force,
anti. blockades Mgnoa.—ln short MOREAU is no
.moue than five 'days march from Fierma, master
of an, immense Country, and of all the Maga-
zines of the Enemy.

Then was it that PRINCE CFIARLES asked
an, Armistice, which was granted by the Com..
'tnander in Chief of the Army of the Rhine, the
terms of which accompany this.

'Count Co rittz E 1., the Plenipotentiary of
the EMPEROR at lameaville, has declared by a
Note of the 31st Dec. that he was ready to
open Negotiations fora separate Peace. Thus
is Austria'freed from the influence of the English
Government.

" Government, faithful to its principlesi and
to the, wishes of, Humanity, reposes in your
bosom, and proclaims to the .whole of Europe
the intentions which animate it.

ig The Left Bank of. the Rhine shall be the
limit of the French Republic. It makes no pre-
tensions to. any thing on the Right Bank. The
interests of Europe will riot allow that the Em-
ZROR should pass the Adige. The Independ-
ence of the Helvetic and Batavian Republics shall
be secured and 'acknowledged. Our Victories
add nothing to the pretensions of the grench
People. Austria must not exped from her de..
feats what she could not obtain by her Viftories.

" Such are the invariable intentions a Go_
ernment : It will be elle happiness of Fiance to

.
restore Peaee Grirninnp her glory
will be to free the Continent fronl the avaricioui
and maliguantlenim Aitf *Eqland. .

" If good faith` shauld again he d.ceivai we
are at Prape, at rittrniz, and at Fetice.
Such ardour and such success- entitle bur
Armies to the, complefest gratitude of the Na-
tion. Government would willingly find new ex-
pressions to immortalize their exploits, bat there
is one which,, by its simplicity, will ever be
worthy of the sentiments, and of the courage of
the Vierfeh Soldier.

" • The Government proposei Me following
four Laws.

Ist.- The Army of the Rhine;
2& The Gallo:.Batavian Arrny;
. The Army of Italy, .
4th. The Army of the Grisons—have detc,ry_
ed w.ll of their Country." , " "

This Mtssnge•was carried to the Legishttive
Body by the Councillors of > Stale, REGkIER,
in! BAU DEAU, ST. Cm, The Legislative
Body returned the following Message by way
of answer :
" CITIZEN CONSULS,

" The greatest public joy was testified by the
Legislative Body, when they heard the i_somrauni-
cation you have made to therni

". They now see . those (lays of prosperity
dawn "which Peace-secures to so gr:at and so ge-
nerous a Nationi,

" Peace—Peact is the cry of all France, and
it is amid ,these, triumphs th:tt our Nvardorq than-
selvesare heard to call for it.

t‘ Ifany thing can console the Philosopher for
the shedding of human blood, it is carnage not
prodneed by ambition-: it is battles fought only
ibr the repose of mankind. Thanks to our brave
Armies : thanks to your ‘riz.doln and your firm-
ness !

,c First Magistrates of the Republic, in de-
positing its sentiments in your bosom, the Le-
gisLtive Body fulfils a duty which is dear and
sacred to it. It speaks to you in the name of all
Frenchmen."

The Conservatory Senate replied to the Mes-
sage of the Consulate as follows :
".CITIZEN CONSULS,

" The Conservatory 'Senate have received the
agreeable news which Government have by their
Message communicated, with that satisfiletion
and pride with which the glory of our arms in.
spires all r'renchmen. They see with the most
lively atisfaCtion, in the last Armistice, in, our
vielories, and in the moderation of Government
the sure pledge of a Peace so lotig and so'ardently
desired."

When PRINCE CHARLES resolved, on the z2d
of December, to send Count de MEERrELD to the
Head-quarters of MOR'EAU, for the purp.,e of
demanding a Suspension of Arms for forty-eight
, hours,. he at the same time dispatched the Prince

The Ato'niterir of thiS claY'cOntaio-3 vetprong
detail of the various movements of the conspira;-
tors against the. Chief Consul; The POliee had
constantly kept a watchful eye von their proceed::
ings; and a Report was,daily transmitted by the
.Pretest or Police to the GoVonment:
•
From these details it appears; that the violent
Jacobins, who are denominated the Enrage's, had
so early as Auguir last begun ro siir, and had con
ceivecl the design of cutting off BONAPARTE..
'They are
,Stated i‘ to be meditating an attempt
that they,are instigated to without being aware
of it, .b) another Fat-lion in the pay of a Foreign,
.Country.„'
In a Report dated the a rsi of SepteMberi the
Prefeft of the' Police informs the. Governinent,
that a person of the name of CEEAP EL LE bad dis-
closed his *purpose to one Ln votst E R; whom he
believed to be welhAiSposed to the execution of
it.. This LAvoiSrAli, a .joiner; he informed of,
the.whole plan. A disturbance was to be _excit.
ed at the door of the theatre when BONAPARTE'',
was coming dut. CHAPELLE. had all his
companions instructed. On the day that was to
:be fixed he w4s to come to the ale-houses where
they.used to meet; that dar.;ng the confusion'
that Was. to be excited, thoSe chosen for the put--
pose should stab the Chief Consul:. The Con;
spiiatorS should then repair to tbe Place Pic.
toire, and. the Hotel de Tolouse, and seize all the
papers, &c. ; that if this plan did not succeed,
so determined felrows were to way-lay the Chief
Consul on his, way to
.Malrnaison; and fire into.
his carriage the first favourable opportunity.—.
This conversation WAS communicated by.LAVOI- •
S'EER to one LEROE,, it shoemaker, rue St. Ho-
pore, who gave information to General 'CAVVA- •
R.ELLI, and by,diredion of the ratter, LAVOI.
sr ER pretended to fall in with CIE Ap E L 's pro.
jetis, till at last it was thought proper to arrest:
him.

In another Report of the iath Septemberi the
Prefea of POlice states, that. the Enrages seemed
to be employed meielV as the instruments of over.
turning the present Government. He' says, the
Royalists'tamper with.these men, bat .cautiously
and With prudence: Some overtures and advances
Were nude to them, and theiPrefed of Police is
certainly, informed that one RE L offered
Money to a person whom he thoutihr lived by the
party, .gave him francs, telling him always' to
go armed with pistols and poniards ; that. the
Royalist. Cathe would quickly triumph,".

It was suapeded that the Enrages were sup_
flied with 'money by Fri.tx larprta.atiza,
ANTONViTEe and other Ex;.Deputies.
It is stated,. that In the end of October a par..
eel of the Enrake; had endeavoured to get through
the grille, at the mouth of the sewer or aqueduti
near the bridge of the Thuilleries, but having
opened the first, they 'were obstrueted by the se-
cond, and then gave up the attempt,.
M wd, r, the 'Naturalist Member of the Conser-
vative Senate,. had beep sent for on the first dis..
