ACTS OF THE COVERNNIENT.
PLUVIOSE (FEB. 13).
MESSACE OF THE CONSULS) ADDRESSED TO THE
LEGISI.ATIV'E BODY AND THE TRIBUNATE.
The Continental Peace has been signed at L sine -
v; It is such as the French People wished.
Their first wish was the limit of the Rhine. Re-
verses never shook their resolution—ViCiory
never added to their pretensions.
After liming re,established the antient limits of
Gaul, they had to give liberty to the People who
were united to them by one common origin, and
by the community of interests and of manners.
The Liberty of the Cisalpines and of Liguria
is secured.
After this duty; there was another; which jus-
tice and generosity imposed.
The KING of SPAIN had been faithful to our
cause; and had suffered for it. Neither our re-
verses, nor the perfidious insinuations of our
EneMies; could detach him from our interests—
he Will have a just recompense, a Prince of his
Blood will sit on the Throne of Tuscany.
He will remember what be owes to the fidelity
Of Spain, and to the friendship of France : his
roadsteds and his ports will be shut against our
Enethies, and will become the asylum of our Coni-
mote and out Ships.
Aim/a---and it is that which is the pledge of
Peacc--'-Austiia, henceforth sepatated from France
by Viiit regions, will no longer feel that rivalry,
thine heart-burnings, which, for so many ages,
have occasioned the torment of these two Powers,
and the calamities of Europe.
By this Treaty, every thing is settled with re-
sped to France—it will no longer have to truggle
against the forms and the intrigues of a Congress.
The Governnient owes the expression -of it
satisfaftion to the Minister Plenipotentiary who
has condufted this Negotiation to this happy
termination. There remain neither interpreta
tions to be feared, nor explanations to be de.
mantled, nor those 'equivocal arrangements, in
which the Diplomatic art deposits the seeds of a
new War. •
Wherefore was not this Treaty the Treaty of
a General Peace ? This was the wish of France !
This the constant object of the efforts of the Go-
vernMent !
But all its efforts are in t ain. All Europe
knows that the Britannic Minister has endeavour.
ed to frustrate the Negotiations at Lustesii 11r!
In 'rain an Agent, authorised by the Govern-
ment, declared to him' on the gth of Odober,
i Soo; that France was ready to enter with him
upon a separate Negotiation. This declaration
only obtained a refusal, under the pretext that
England could not abandon her Ally. Since that,
when this Ally consents to treat without Rug.
land, that Government seeks other means to de.
lay a Peace, so necessary to the'World.
It violates Conventions which Humanity had
consecrated, and declares War against miserable
Fishermen.
It raises pretentions contrary to the dignity
and the rights of all Nations. The whole Com.
merce of Asia, and of immense Colonies, does
not satisfy its ambition.- All the Seas must be
submitted to the exclusive Sovereignty of Eng-
land. It arms against Russia, Denmark
,and
Sweden, because Russia, Sweden and Deny:esti
have secured, by Treaties of Guaranty, their
Sovereignty, and the Independence of their Flags.
The Powers of the North, unjustly attacked,
have a right to reckon upon France. The French
Government will avenge with them, a common
injury to all Nations, without ever losing sight,
however, that it ought only to fight for Peace,
and for the good of the World.
