loveli all:people, especially the simple and "virtuous
inhabitapts ,of the -mountains'." The, second is
haughty, menacing, and full .of rancour. He. had;

true shape. • . .
" You solicit the proteltion of the French Army ; render
yourselves worthy of it."

The Tyrolese never sacked the prote6lion of the
French Army. They knew. too well what this pro-
/et-hum meant. They had been, informed by the
Italians, what seas of blood and tears it had cost
them s and they were infinitely more inclined to re-
jeet it than to "-render themselves worthy of it."

" Since' tho majority of you is well,disposed, compel the
handful of heal-strong people to submit.n

It is proper to explain what BOONAPARTIS means,
by well-disposed and headstrong. The, well-disposed
•
were those who were inclined to rise, in, his favour,
'against their Legitimate. Sovereign. He says they
were the majority; and in this
,he lies. The head-
strong were those who, full of honour and full of
love for their country, had taken arms to defend it.
He says they were few in number•; and in this he
lies again.! For these head,strong,peciple .compri 'zed
all theTyroles.e youth, wbo had risen in a body, a
numerous and formidable youth, who in despite of
all the menaces of BUONAPARTR, continued to de-
fend themselves with intrepidity, and even cut to
Titus a French column of twenty-five thousand
men, commanded by General JounEaw. React the
rest of &lie Proclareation : the whole is cut ions.

" -You fish for puce; the French tight for it."

It was then the love of peace which brou&ht the
French into Italy, where they had neither been in-
vited, nor provoked.by, any at 'of hostility;. and
where they themselves exercised, every; species' (if
hostility, even towards their: friends and No,
no ; it was not the love. of peace whiCh led BUONA-
PARTE into this tranquil and happy country ; if it
was not the thirst of blood, it was, at least,. the
love of booty, and he continued to give proofs of it
from the commencement to the conclusion of the
campaign. No invasion of the Gauls, from'the time
of the Romans, was ever marked by a more out,
rageous and insatiable cupidity of riches and plurrder,

" -We do not come here to aggrandiie ourselveo.

On whom did be expel to iinpose ? vvto dM not
see, from the-first, that the French entered Italy, not
only as robberS, but as cOnquerors ; and that Buo-
NAPARTE himself began with laying the foundation
of that Cisalpine republic, formed by the spoils of
the Emperor, the Pepe, and the States of Venice,
which is since become a 'kingdom in his hands; and
of which he now calls himself the master ? BUOyA*
rAnTit, in saying that he wished not to aggrandize
himself, is just as sincere as the "first authors of the
Revolution, -who declared to the world that they
would never make conquests, and inunediatelyiu-
i'aded a great Tao of Europe

General ! : But BUONAPARTE, become First Consul,
held a very different language: he seized on Pied-
mont, and several other States of Italy, and he an-
nounced'pretensions which filled &trope with: ter-
ror and dismay. But even these pretensions pert)
nothing to those of IitJOICIPARTE beccinie Emperor !
He overturns thrones at pleasure; or he ereds
them :' he removes all limits; he contrasts or ex-
tends them from Caprice : he ,has already placed
crowns on the heads of five Qr six of his vagrant
race : from Petersbargh to Naples, riol Sovereign

to say how wide the confusion which lie prdposei
to introduce may yet extend ! He nolonger wishes

even hear of limits for Europe, or for any of its

it is a fury, a rage of subversion ; it is a real ratti-

Never eras the word generosity worse applied-
Generosity towards our enemies consists in treating
them kindly when in our poWer, and in softening
for them, as winch a$ possible, the severe rights of.

rAratt towards. the Tyrolese. Read the following
paragraph of hi, Proclamation, and you will 'see
'that, so lar front . there being any genero,ity' in his
condua, there is not even common humanity.
