ON AN ARTICLE IN TliE INIMITEUR.

Hva.a.unaft, APRIL 17,—For a series of years
past, the tyrant of France imposed upon the world
by lying Bulletins—trod shamefully upon the
rights of men.. aiming at nothing .less than the
ditTosion'of universal slavery.

of the brave people of Getmany, menaces and in-

In one of the diloniteurs just received, we find
the toll Owing phrase concerning the insurrection.
at Thenburgh :---We had the simplicity to con-
tent ourselves with sixteen millions to re-buy
the English nicrchandize—it shall not be-so this

It were useless to refute the charge of our being
rebels ; the world knows that we were taken by
surprise, robbed of our free and Constitu-
thm—of personal safety, liberty, and- property.—
Not even the slightest ground .of justice can be
alleged for, such an act. 'We were not at war with
France—had never offended her : on. the contrary,
our treasures and . our houses were laid open vo-
luntarily, or forcibly, to feed and assist her troops•
We rejoiced—we illuminated—westing TeDeuin
—we gave balls—splendid entertainments, when
it was required, or ordered from Paris. •
Seven miserable • years of slavery have cost us
• the inntrense of.almtist seven millions sterling.
Still all these sacrifices could not preserve our
happy Constitution, nor even procure the advan-
tage of being ti eget! With any kind of lenity or
regard, which are not uncommonly shown by gen-
tlemen or:the high road, partieularly when they
are satisfied with their booty. -

to have been simple enough to content• himself
with, avowing, that it should not be so for the

Infamous, infamous avowal! So, yOu arc not

You will, over and above what you have already'

ranny for that) of the last morsel of bread they
may still be possessed of..
You wish to drive them to the last refuge of de- .

After the unfortunate battles of
,Jena and Lu-
beck, General ;Monier advanced with
.15,000'men
to Ilamburglh At the distance of about eight
Miles, at 13ergedoff, he wrote ri very polite letter,
to the Senate of flauthurgl4 communicating his
Imperial orders, and the urgent necessity for ovetr-
pying Ilaniburgh militarily,. but that lie ,would not
interfere with its gocernment ; -on the con-
trary, be pledged his Word, and that of his Mister,
that our independence; property, persons, &e.
should be protected'. • • ,

The subject of the demaqd for English pro-
perty and goods will warmly debated in the Ge-'
.nerai Assembly of Citiiens, anti with the dissent
of setae few only who are not in trade, the fol-
lowing resolution was carried;—
" That althungh no resistance could he 'made,
still it was out. duty to protect the English pro-
ptietor, who burl eonlided.his property into Our'
hands ; anti that it would redound infinitely more
to our honour to lose our fortunes, lOACII, in
bettertimes, Ulla by good' character, might be
gat again, than to suger the individuals of a great
commercial, liberal, 'grateful, protecting nation,
to partake in our misfortune,,, by the faith t.:hich
had been placed in the protection of our Govern-
ment."

The whole amount was afterwards 'settled with
Mortier for sixteen millions ready cash, although
the value of English property u.A by no means so
much ; but, there was nu bargaining, since the
General got a share. • a
The public in England, and elsewhere will now
be convinced, that in his dealings with liamburgh,
the simplicity or the Emperor was not 56 very
great, at least it was by no means equal to that of
thrusting himself with 550,000 men into the heart
