SINGULAR STATE PAPER.

Znstructions transmitted-to the Director SERVILLOI
by General BU;NAPAETE, the 18th Brumaire, in
the Fifth Year of the French Republic, being the
same as thane transmitted the 21st of the same

Month to the Directory.
Rome, divested of its two-fold species of au-'
thoritv, by a nation which would not haveachiev-
ed • its conquests, but for the advancement of li-
berty and reason, we abhor with a mortal hatred,
which no measures can extinguish, and which one
measure alone can soften into flexibility. . This
implacable haver!, active, but prudent in its de-
clarations; works with an indefatigable zeal by
all those means which promote its advanCement,
and these are far from being despicable ; and if
• France When victorious over Europe is formida-
ble,- it may he supposed that it will be peculiarly
so to the Cisalpine Republic.-
In vain has France attempted an interchange of.
good offices with Rome, and no,twithstanding
that certainty, I myself have considered it very
dangerous to destroy that power ; I have with-
held its ruin, of which I had the means .in my
hands, apprehensive of increasing • its power
amongst us, by destroying it in its second child-
hood ; and I have ,exercised the most profound,
yet the most cautious, reflections respecting the
state of those remains. of human superstition,
and the conduct which you have seen me observe
towards the Pope have resulted therefrom.
The people of France itself, 'as well as „those all
over the Belgic provinces in Brittany, Normandy,
Languedoc and Provence, are far removed from
those lights of reason which direct the govern-
ment. Philosophy alone regulates the one, and
prejudices, but above all those of religion, en-
slave the others. •
But as the strength of Government depends on
the will of the people, it follows, that without
it we cannot accomplish our wishes, and that it
becomes necessary to elevate the minds of the so-
vereign people, in order to employ the whole of
their force and abilities. •-
If such is the state of France, in Italy it is even
worse, because there exists an absolute opposition'
between the philosophy of the Directory, and the
opinion of the people in religious matters, and
that to such a degree, that you know the excellent
reasons which yourself opposed to the public to-
leration of different religions.
'These reasons were prudent, and experience has
proved to he Directory of the French Republic,
that the public spirit of the Cisalpine Republic is
still in petticoats. Such is our-situation with re-
spect to Rome, and certainly it offers many diffi-
culties ; the powers of Europe increase them un-
ceasingly, by thickening the clouds of error for
the purpose of securing to themselves the fidelity
of their subjects. These serve to uphold tins old
and decrenid idol, whose worm-eaten throne would
De overturned by-its own reet, it not suppor,,,l toy
these different subjects.
This old idol shall be annihilated ; this liberty
and philosophy detnand ; - but when and how, po•-•
licy alone will determine. Ott this account, you
know that the fare of Rome is a subject of 'great
consideration; and you can attempt nothing by
yourself alone; but the Cisalpine Republic ought
to assist, us to prepare its people to despise the
CatholiC Doctrine, to make them desirous of the
ruin of this religion, and to engage then by mo-
tives of personal interest in its destruction. Af-
terwards, in order to alienate their regard from
the clergy, deliver those over to the ignominy of
quackery; the tricks of which. can be exposed by
your writers. During this time, you should pro-
pagate the philosophical principles over the entire
Papal territory.
France places the greatest confidence in you,
in respect to this affair, because, by speaking the
same language, possessing the same habits and
the same genius, your philosophers ought to de
stray superstition by all those means which are
afforded by a great influence over the heart, the
genius, and the spirit of the people.
There might occur an event, in my opinion very
disagreeable, which would oblige the French Go-
vernment and its Allies in Italy to exceed' those
limits, and to depart from that prudence 'which
policy has imposed, and this would be the death
sit' Pius VI.; it is to be ttished that he should live
even two,years, to give to philosophy the time ne,
cessary to complete its work; and to. leave this
Lama of Europe without a._successor ; but if be
should (lie before that period, 7 presume that the
wishes of the Directory would be to permit him to
have a successor. Policy arid secret obligations, to
which it is obliged sometimes to stibmit, may con-
strain them to have recourse to this measure in pre.
ference to all others; before that happy period shall
arrive in which it will be supported by the gene:,
ral influence of public opinion, but before this
arrive at its. height the Pope
,may die, in Which
case I repeat,. that I have reason to believe the
Directory would consent that he should have a
successor. The election of this personage is a
negotiation of the highest importance ; for the
motives which may influence therein the different
Towers of Europe place in this election peculiar
interest.

This event, which every day may come to pass,
has demanded of the precaution of he Directory
to take those measures which should anticipate
all its effects ; for this purpose, when it should
occur, they have already dispatched a General with
French troops into Lombardy, that he may march
With all his force into the State of the Pope, and
afterwards to place 3000 men in the garrison of
Milan, and two thousand' in Mantua.. You will
send thither the Polish Legion, for which:purpose
it is placed under your orders, and in that situa-
tion they will await those of the Directory.
The Minister of the French Republic will con-
salt deliberately with the Cisalpine Directory re-
specting the presentation of a candidate for the
Pontifical dignity and this MiniSter will forma-
lize•his demands in the conclave, which ought to
terminate the election in the space of eight days.
The troops will march towards Rome,.it ne-
cessary, to support the demands of the Directory,

will impose on-, the Court of Naples the
most strict prohibition from nied,!)in,g in the ne-
gociation of Rome during the vacancy- of it't;. See :
and if Naples should send trolps into the terri-
tory of Rome, the French have orders to resist
force bi- fci r ce. •
I kntlw that the Directory of the French Re-
public. has flattered ,itself with the hope, that, in
the midst of these contests, the Romans may re-
volt: I believe this to be an atEtir easily accom-
plished, and so I have said to
.the Directory ; but
the people of Rome are much more enlightened
than those dispersed throughout its-States.

On the Other hand, the extirpation of the Pope-
dom is not solely the object of these negotiations
at Rome, butt also the overthrow of all
_those coun-
tries poiioned by Catholicism; it will therefore he
necessary to correspond even with these, in or-
der to estimate how far we can proceed with
them, Without endangering the advancement of
our views: Before two years the extinction' of
the Popedom may be impossible, but it may he
necessary in four ; and the people are most impo-
litic who propose such weak measures as to per-
mit a Pope to live, deprived of his temporalities.
In that case, some Monarch would possess
himself of this idol—which would adore aitd en-
Slave ; ,by the respect paid to it, he would attract
the hortiage of ail the Catholics ; and, instead of
destroying, the Pontifical power, would increase
his strength with the ruins of-that State ; which,
in its turn,. would re-establish and support its
own.'

The Directory require, that the Pope should ab-
solutely perish when an opportunity ofirers, and when
with him his religion can be deposited in his tomb ;
but whilst this Lama of- human superstition is allowed
to exist, it necessary that it should reserve a
sovereignty of its oWn, but held at the discretion
of France, for the purpose of undermining its real
security, and to allow it to retain .only as much as
ought to be posses"sed by a people already enslaved
bypiperstition..

. .
The wise memorial presented to the Directory
by the citizen Sieyes on the 30th Nivosc, in the
fifth year of the Republic, is to he the basis of the
policy which should prevail on this occasion, and
I have transmitted a copy thereof to citizen
Moscati.

The forces of the Pope are not to. be feared by-
the Cisalpiue Republic, notwithstanding that,
with the greatest facility:he can send -24,000 men
into the field. Our Minister in Rome has orders
to impede its enlistment and its discipline.
However, although there is..nothing to be fear-
ed from the Cisalpine Republic in this respect,
(here is a great deal to he suspected, in the midst
of a people peculiarly superstitious, deaf to rea-
son, and involved in intrigue. From this motive
I have frequently resisted your solicicitations re-
specting the punishment -of any, because great
.criminals as they are, in some respects, never-
theless they are very ,useful instruments in demo-
lishing religion, because having been Priests, their
example holds the most dicacious influence over the
people.

In order to destroy religion, you must imitate
the -4c,nduet of France, but with prudence : you
must excite discord aniongst the Priesthood, find
them, and of those form Apostles of philsophy.
Disperse these new philosophers amongst the
people, and their persuasions will have more in-
fluence than a thou Sand periodical publications.
Chastise those Bishops Who. may endeavour to
disturb those missionaries of liberty, and 'repri-
mand those fanatics who refuse to assist them.

I have been very prolix upon this subject, be
cause it is of the highest importance.

CARLSRUUE, DEC. U.-Our Prince has pub-
lished an Ordnance relative to the landwehr, in
which he obsorves, that the efforts,and sacrifices
required by existing- circumstances, are not con-
fined to the completement of the army 'of the
line, but must also extend to the formation of a
landwehr. By the articles of this Ordinance,
the landwehr is only to be raised during war, and,
is to consist of 10,000 men, 8,000 of whom are
to act with the troops of the line in the field, and'
2000 to remain at home. All. males born be-
fore lig!, and' who have :not 'completed their
40th year, are to form part of the Luck-chi-. The
males boro in 1791, 2,3, and 4, are reserved for
the completement of the army of the line. By
another article every individ.ial of good constitu-
tion is bound to serve in the landwehr, though
the Director and Counsellors of the Circle may
grant exemptions for various causes. The men of
the land vehr are to clothe and equip themselves ;
but if ir,;:tbility be satisfactorily proved, then it will
be done at the expellee of the Treasury. The
'Committee of each Circle appoint the cap-
tains and Officers of superior rank, subject to the
confirmation of Government ; and these Officer's
again are to choose the subalterns.. Muskets will
be furnished to the landwehr at the -expence of
the State. When the landwehr is formed into
battalions, it will have the same pay, be subject
to the same discipline, and placed 'on the same
footing, as the troops of. the line. The whole of
them must be. organised by the ISt of February,
1614.
