The ORIGIN and PROGRESS of the FRENCH
REVOLUTION, fun 1788 to 1816. -

[l',-IR7' 117.3

In 1798 such Roman curiosities as- were not
sent Gum Rome to, Park, were sold there, and
Switzerland beit►g treated as a compered country,
the Canton of Berne capitulated. Then the Di-
rectory violdted the Constitution, and planned the
Expedition to Egypt and India. Buonaparte em-
barked at Toulon with 40,000 troops, and on the
9th June he arrived at and took Malta, leaving
4,000 men there. On the 21st lie sailed for Alex-
andria with 400 transports, and on the sth July,
having landed his troops, he took it by storm.
His transports were placed in the inner harbour,
and his ships of war, under Admiral limeys, were
anchored along the shore of Aboukir Bay. His ar-
my proceeded to the Nile, and ascending its banks,
suffered much from the extreme Lear. They were
met and encountered by the Mawalukes, who
govern Egypt, and on the 23d July they took
Cairo. On the 26th the Matnalukes fought them
near the pyramids, when 2000 of them were
killed, 400 camels, and 50 cannon taken. Admiral
Nelson, who had followed him to Malta, appeared
on the Ist August with his Fleet at the mouth of
the Nile, and attacked the enemy at sunset. He
fought till day-break, took nine ships, burnt one,
blew up another, in which 1000 men were lost ;
two ships and two frigates run away, but were
afterwards taken. The King of Naples met him'
at sea, and the Turks joined its against France.—
A Rebellion broke out in Ireland, and General
Humbert landed at Killalee with 1,100 men.—
Lord Cornwallis attacked him, when he laid
down his arms. On the 12th of October
Sir John Borlace Warren took the ship La
Hoche, of 84 guns, off the west coast of Ireland,
with four frigates 2nd near 3000 men ; the other
ships, with 5000 men, escaped ; but on the 25th
he took another frigate. A negociation was now
opened at Rastadt. The Neapolitans took Rome,
and the King of Sardinia retired to that Island.
The French took Naples, and in 1799 the Laz-
zaroni rose against them, but was nearly exter-
minated, The war was renewed on the Continent
and its Switzerland. The French were defeated
in Suabia and Italy. Suwarrow, a Russian Ge-
neral, joined the Imperialists. He was raised
from the ranks by his learning, courage, and me-
rit, at more than 60 years of age. On the 26th
April he attacked Moreau and defeated bins, with
the loss of some thousands of men, four Generals,
and 80 pieces of cannon. The French and Spanish
fleet joined. On the 24th June he defeated Mac-

donald, having seven horses shot under him, and
he fought with only his shirt on. The loss tit the
French was immense. At Acre, in Syria, Mama-
parte was also defeated by Sir Sidney Smith.—
He was there sixty-nine days, when he was
obliged, after eleven attempts to take the place by
storm, to retreat ; leaving eight Generals, 85

Officers, and hall his army behind him : Philli-

peau, the Engineer, was his comrade and assis-
tant. Bonier, Roberj,, and Dehry, the Fi ench
Envoys, were aas,inated :in their return twin
Hastadt to Paris. Stiwarrow lett Italy and went
into Switzerland, thinking himself deserted by the
ilusttians. On the 27th the invaded hol-
land ; and on the 30th took the Dutch fleet in the
Texel. On tic 2Lth, linonaparte vanquished the
Tut ks in Egypt ; awl on the I,lth of August the Di-

iectoi y in Paris announced that be and his princi

ial Officers were arrive;! in ',ranee, and that he had

left Egypt in a prosperous state ; which, when
General Klehea's letters were picked up in the
Mediterranean, was proved to be false. When
he came to Paris he arrested and imprisoned his

friend 13arras, and assumed the Government of
France. Arena attempted to Stab him in the Con-
vention. He, the AhheSaieyes, and Ducos,were ap-
puinted Consuls, and on the 17th they transported
many Republicans to Guiana. Timm° Saib, in the
East Indies, made overt urea to Ripaud, at theMauri-
tilos, of friendship, and was watched by the British.
Gneral Harris marched against him, and on the
27th March defeated him. On the 24th of May
he took Seringapatam. In December a new French
Constitution was formed, and Buonaparte became
absolute. He proposed peace to us, but on such
terms as obliged us to reject them. In 1500 the

defection of Ru,sia appeared, and a campaign
was opened or the Rhine. Buonsparte placed an

Army at Dijon, and with another crossed the

Alps to GClithi, entered Milan, took Pavia, re-

stored the Cisalpine Republic, and forced Genoa
to surrender. lie defeated the Austrians at
Montebello, and claimed a victory over them at
Marengo, though they were masters of the field
for nine hours. lie there lost 12,000 men, which
,brought on an armistice.

SOLEM QUIs DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1818.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. They remain altogether silent re-
specting the Conspiracy. The following are Ex-

tracts:--

" PARIS, JULY 13.—The Duke of Wellington
dined yesterday with the Count Mole, at a coun-
try-house of the mother-in-law of his Excellency,

near Arpajon.

"On the 6th inst. arrived at Bar le Doc, 18
horses, chosen from amongst the best breeds in
Russia. They have been sent by the Emperor of
Russia as a present to the Duke de Reggio.
" The King received the Ministers, Marshals,
&c. yesterday at St. Cloud. In the afternoon his
Majesty promenaded in the Bois de Boulogne.

" During the last month the number of births
at Bordeaux was 248, and of deaths only 149.
" The Queen of Wirtemberg (sister of the
Emperor Alexander), has founded at Stuttgard,
with the consent of the Kiog her Consort, a large
establishment for the education of females of the
superior classes, without distinction, of birth.

" The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will,
during the ensuing winter, reside in the Chateau
of Mont-brillant, in the kingdom of Hanover,
which has been got ready for their reception.

" The Grand Council of the Canton of Fiihurg
has rejected, by a majority of 61 votes to 42, the
proposition for the restoration of the Jesuits in
that Canton.

" VIENNA, JUNE 30.—The Emperor and Em-
press of Austria made a public/entry on the'2lst
inst., in the evening, into Karlstatt, in Croatia.
" INIAYENCE, JULY 14.—Workmen are actively
employed on the fortifications of Coblentz, which
is to become a fortress of the first class.—
Cologne is also to be made a fortress, and the
phn for that purpose is beginning to be carried
into execution. It is to become a grand place
d'artnes for the Western Provinces of the Prussian
Monarchy. •

" STUTGARD, JULY 6.—The Queen of Bavaria
passed through here yesterday, on her way to visit
her Majesty's mother, the Margravine Dowager
of Baden.

"The great majority of the inhabitants of the
Communes of the kingdom of Wirtemberg are
now understood to have pronounced in favour of
tl►e King's Projet of a Constitution which the
late Diet rejected. Some of the Members of
that Body who were against it are now i❑ its
favour.

" CARLSRUHE, JULY 7.—The King of Bavaria
has passed through here on his way to join the
Queen his Consort at Baden:
" STOCKHOLM, JUNE 26.—General the Count
Gustavus de Zcetvenhielm, who has been
pointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Ple-
nipotentiary from Sweden to the Court of France,
will set out immediately to proceed to Paris.
" HAM/WIWI(' JULY 4.—lt said, that the King
of Sweden has addressed a Rescript to the Com-
mittee of the States of the Kingdom, in which
his Majesty proposes to sell the Island of Saint
Bartholomew, in the %Vest Indies, and to apply
the produce of the sale to the liquidation of the
old debt of Norway."

The Conspiracy at Paris begins to assume
such a character of authenticity is no longer to be
doubted, except by those who have some interest
in casting a veil over the imputed authors, or those
whose incredulity must make them appear abso-
lutely ridiculous. The Times and The Morning
Chronicle, which were at first sceptical, appear
now to be thoroughly convinced of the reality of
the Plot, but The New Tinier still affects to treat
the whole as a fabrication by the Agents of the
French Police. We do nut wonder that the
Editor of The New Times, of whose principles and
motives we think very favourably, should still be
unwilling to believe that Lis favourite Ultras

„
Could be capable of engaging in any c°"anirl
sieve that they nor d° injurious to the Throne of France,

sla
capable of making those efforts to restore tbeem
order of things in Frances which they c6lllAcfier,
might be%recovered by a younger marl' .gip
therefore, making use of MoNst BUR fora Cer
time, it is probable that they looked tO"Itio,
the Duke of ORLEANS as the great Clia°lP
for the Ancienne Regime. These Ultras nat'ird,
look with detestation and horror on tile led
spring of the Revolution who have been vese
with titles which they disgrace, and bare ben
lifted into power, or continued in empinYn'eut'uo

such miscreants to share in his Counsels' sgti.,
sentiments must be common in every part of
it
rope where a sentiment of loyalty prevails'
is therefore no wonder that the Ultras sh°°
even wish to dethrone a King who could
part his confidence to the Agents of 3 gefoi

society, or the instruments of an Usurper, hi,
spread misery and oppression wherever his 811)%
tion could find scope for exertion. Such feel”(
may naturally be expected to arise in the wiadsild
those who venerate an ancient monarebY'
such we presume must be the feelings of the
•Lig
graded people of Sweden, under the Prcse ,
state of their affairs, which can hardly be
truth
ceived to exist, though the mel.incholi i
is too well known. But if the French 1/I'l3o
have suffered any of the Jacobins to love t
least participation in their Counter-rerolaii°llilry

views, they may be assured that they e PrePja.
