Bourdeaux, Oet. x 3.

General Conful—The Peace of the Continent
had prepared that which guarantees the liberty of
the teas; and it is to the wifdom of your Govern-
ment that the univerfc is at lafl indebted for re-
pute. There is but one fpecies of glory which now
remains for you to acquire. By the rapidity of
your triumphs you have proved to aflonithed Ett-
' rope what can be done by a Nation of Warriors.
Shew it now what an indttfli lolls people can do un
der the adminifiration of a Hero who has earned
the title of Pacificator ! Was is not on her com-
merce that England founded her power t Was is
not ftom her commerce that the procured fleets,
armies, and treafure ? Ours, difcouraged for ten
years, and now almoll annihilated, at your voice
will revive. Let the fignal be given, and France'
now without an enemy, will loon be without a
rival. In the name of the Merchants of Bourdeaur,
the Members of Council, (Signed)

Citizen Minitler—The events of war having
brought me back to Cairo after the affairs before
Alexandria, I found myfelf included in the Con,
vention, according to which the divifion of the ar-
my which was at that place, is now on its return
to France. Having failed from the coat! of Egypt
on the 4.th of Augult, I did not reach Toulon till
this very day. After we had been (everal weeks
at tea, the want of water and ptovifions obliged
us to mit into Malta. While we lay there a fri-
gate arrived, carrying to England the news of the
reduCtion of Alexandria. ,On the 28th Augidl,
the General in Chief, forced by the abfolute want
Of every kind of fubfiltence, definitively treated for
the entire evacuation of Egypt. I was informed
that this divifion of the army, like the other, re-
turns with its arum and baggage. The French
troops were to begin to embark in a fortnight af-
ter the figning of the treaty.
Not knowing, Citizen Minifler, whether you
have had intelligence of thiS event, thought
it right to inform you of it, that you may make
the difpofitions you than judge to be neceffary.
Health and repel, Laoroitios.

tions have been laid abroad of a Peace which em-
braces all the countries and fens of Europe, and
the molt diftant parts of the world ; which enable&
tortured humanity again to breathe, and affords
you a diflant profpeEt of reaping the fruits of roux
