PROCLAMATION.

BATAVIANS,
The Firft Chamber of the Legiflative Body, by
a feeble majority of two voices, has this day pro•
nounced the fufpenfion of our Proclamation of the
t4th of this month, by which the Batavian people
are invited to approve or rejea the Con(litution
juft prefented to them.
This refolution in perpetuating an order of
things, which has carried the higheft degree of
confufion into public affairs, (and tend) uniformly
to the advantage of fome particular individuals,
while it caufes general ruin) has no other object,
' but to prevent the people from pronouncing freely
upon an objedt of the greateft importance, and to
excite a civil war.

We have thought, under thefe difficult circum.
fiances, that it was our duty to oppofe thefe deter-
minations; and to prevent, by efficacious means,
the fatal confequences. We have taken meafures
to prevent the future meetings of the Legiflative
Body, until the people have pronounced their
opinion.
Citizen Batavians, however hangers we may
be to any kind of cenfure, we could not, we
ought not to fuffer that the voice of a nation
fhould be eztingufhed, . and that a fcw indi-
viduals fhould niftily pronounce upon the will
of the people before it was known. Our only
object, and our only defire is that it fhould be
manifefled. It theft be one fupreme law; we
wait it without fear; firm in the convhlion that
we have confidered with difintereftednefs your
welfare. Weigh calmly, maturely, and without
pafflon, the projefl prefented to you, judge for
yourfelves, and rejea with difdain all foreign in-
fluence.

Batavians, you are about to pronounce upon
your deareft interefts, upon thole of your children.
Chufe what will be moft for your advantage.
May the meafures taken for. your tranquility give
you confidence. It will not be difturbed. We
:hall be able to reprefs the malevolence of thofe
who do not fear to cover themfelves with igno-
miny in wifhing to fetter your wills.
The Direaory orders that this Proclamation be
Ruck up in all ordinary places.

HAOUB, SEPT. 24 —The new revolution is now

LUMEN, Sgpr. 2.-It is faid, that come bat-
talions of the French troops will march to Am-
fterdam, as many perfons there are very much dif.
fatisfied with the late meafure of the Direaory,
and the Direaor VAN %I/INDEX, who did not con-
cur in it, has thus a great number of partizans ;
there are likewife friends to the oppofition in many
other towns. It is not doubted, however, but the
moft vigorous and effeaual meafures will be taken
by the three Direaors, to reltrain and fupprefs the
fpirit of party.
The day before yefterday an official account was
received at the Hague, that the Departmental
Government of the Tete' had refuted to publifh
the Proclamation of the Direaory of the atb, and
protefted againft the fame.
