at Lyons. The Treaty nt Luneville had confe.
crated the exifience of this Republicybut the men-
tion there made of it was rather an allufion to its
approaching exiftetice, than an aCtual declaration
of its eftabldhment. The Cilia!pine Republic, oc-
copiedlucceffively, and withqut any interval, by
the French and Imperial armies, had not yet been
able to govern herself. It was the duty or tFe
French Government, after having, by the fuccefs
of its arms, effeeted the freedom of that c9untry,
and having made all the Powers of the Continent
recognize its independence, to call it to perform
the Era obligations which that fituation inipofcs
upon every people anxious to enjoy it. The pub-
lic voice in Italy, and the folemn reprefentation:of
the Provifional Authorities, had, in different cir-
cumftancee acquainted the Firft Conful that the
general confidence which this people placed in him,
was fuch that they were unaninaoully damns of
receiving from him both the benefit of a definitive
conflitution, and that of the firft choice of their
magiftrates. The Firl Confid was anxious that the
willies of that nation fhould be accomplifhed in a
manner conliftent with the principles of their in-
dependence. He affembled the principal citizen,
and colleCled their opinions and fuffrages ; and
from thofe opinions and thofe foil-rages refulted
the conftitution and the choice of the magillrates
by whom they are to be governed. The govern-
ment of the Republic felt that the tranquillity of
Europe was conneeted with that of each of the
States which. compote it. After devoting all its
efforts to the termination of the war by which it
was fo long ravaged, it wilhes that the influence
of its widow fhould extinguith, amidft all the na-
tions within the fphere of its alliance, every prin-
ciple of diftridt, uncertainty, and agitation. The
molt enlightened citizens of the Italian Republic,
refleilting upon the variety of elements which mutt
enter into the general aggregate, eafily perfuaded
the whole of their fellow citizens that rivallhip',
pretenfions, and peipetual feuds, if hot harmo..
nixed by an afctndancy foreign, and particular!?r
fuperior to all the paltons to which they mtia,
give birth, could not fail to prodoe diforderi
hcient to dcitroy the trangnillitY of Icily, and,
even to difturb the repofe of all Europe. Ftillf
impreffed with the juftice of tltele fentiments, they
thought it incumbent upon theM to reprefent to
the Firti Coati!, that their country, in the firft
moments of hi organization, fhould be aired of
the maintenance of her independence, enlightened
with refpea to the dangers infeparable from the
commencement of her political career, and wifely
direfted in the choice of the means by which the
may fucceed in preferving herfelf againft any at-
tack which may be made uponher external I.:eeri-
ly, atsd the confolidition of the inftltutions the
has eftablilhed. Such, Citizen, are the minks of
an Extraordinary Confulta of the Italian Repub-
lic at Lyons. t requeft you will communicate to
the government to which you are accredited, the
notihcation which I have the honour to tranfrnit
to you refpedling them. I have no doubt that In
this event it will fce only a new proof of the de-
fire which inceffantly animates the Government of
the Republic, of confolidating, by all the means
in its power, the general tranquillity of Europe,
and of giving a permanent guarantee to the ues
which =ilea its different States.
