TUSCANS,

THE French. People is united to you by the ties of- attach--
7-tient, founded on mutual esteem. They respect your man--;
ners and your habits, and are persuaded that the virtues of a
people depend on a perteef consistency between their charac-.
terand their laws. The Prince who is to rule you, gives
you notice, that he is on the eve of assuming the rents of
'government. - You preserve a just degree of respect for those
Institutions,, and the Memory of Princes who have raised
yoUr Country to the highest' summit of glory. The first use-
which' Louis (he F ta sr makes of ,his authority., is to con-
firm the work of their wisdom, by giving assurances to the
Enipire of the continuance of all the Laws, and all the Insti,
tutions which they formed. Youi Country is the favOiiiite
abode of Arts and of Science ; the Monarch who is to reign
over you; is ,an object of esteem to Europe by Iii:; taste for
the -Sciences' and the Arts ' by. the success with which he
cultivated them, as well ashy the virtues which.. render men
just, and Princes beneficent I •
His accession to the throne is to you a presage of the con.,
tinuance of that glory „which. hitherto 'has rendered Tuscany,
distinguished under the Emilie-Of the Medici and ofLeo-
poldi • his Minist;lnapp.kaelis tp,treceive the path of your
Fidelity. the Oath he himself has taken• to render ydu
happy is alreddygi§tere&A 1-letrYen.., Tuscans, front the
moment thati av}intectthe command among you, it has been
my object tomak Yotrsi.-tijoY the Blessings of Peace.—The
most .rigid .-discipline has prevailed among the Troops ; re-
spea.for fersons and for Property has been maintained ; and
never have .Srou' been. .called upon to make contributions
which the- wants of my Army, calculated With the' utmost
'economy, did not demand,pf you, The marks of your At-
tachment have sufliaiently repaid•me for my labours.. Your
King will endeavour to remove the evils which have sprung
tt-om War.--Surround him with your love, and you . will
. ever experience the blessings of his paternal -solitititde.
'Tuscans, you ought to behold in the French a people, at-
tached to you by friendship— a People which, while 'they are
firmly attached to Republicanism, know how to respeet
Monarchical principles among a People who live under a
Monarchy. •

Bout.daNg, Auc. 6.—The .English have re:.
tired from our Coasts, but they are still in view,
cruizi►?g in the offing : they have attempted nothing
yesterday or this day. They have sent home five
of their bomb-vesSels, which 'were much damaged
by the violence of the firing in the affair of tie
4th.- We had but two men very slightly wounded.
It was well worth while to throw twelve hundred
bombs, and to send us. Lord NELSON' !

" CITIZEN GENERAL,

‘i The under Prefeet of the distriA the Mayor,
and Adjunds of Bali/4 ne, owe, in' their own names,
and in the name of their fellow citizens, the testi-
mony of their admiration and gratitude to. the brave
flotilla placed under your orders at the ,acivanced
post nearest to England=-they pray you to transmit
it to the seamen and'iOldiers, who so 'worthily re.:
presented the irrerich army 'and nation on the 4th
of August. fiWshave speo, Citizen General, with
-what unalter4e..-constan with' what invincible
courage, your(ieompanions::in arms have sustained,
notwithstanding,, art inferiority in forces and in
means, which would discourage any other . than
Frenchmen-r-a bombardment of fifteen hours, clite6tc.
by the man who,has tarnished hisname with his two
viEtories over the civilization and liberty of the
seas. We have seen all the fire of the arena's of
England extinguished in the .waters Which bathe
our coast, without having - struck so much as one of
the brave men charged with our defence and the in-
vasion of England. How should they. indeed strike
the heroes; who, under the auspices of the -genius of
BONAP4RTE,and of. the flag of LATOUCHE TRE:
VILLE, are hastening to spring upon that land,
,which, for the -space of twelve years, ha: cherished
the war, the divisions and the 'm'onopoly which de-
vour Europe ? .
,‘"Citizen General, we are Charged by our fellow
citizens'to assure you, that you will here_ find none
but good Frenchmen-,=we 'should be so the more in
proportion, as we are near to England." •
