FROM Till MOIIITIOIt.

The Englilh Journals of the 4th of Auguft di-
redly excite the people of London to the ntaffacre
of M. Orro, and no public meafures are adopted
to put a flop to this licentionfnefs, or to pundit
men who leek the deftrudion of facial order.—
What ! is it credible in an age of high civili-
zation like the prefent, in the midft of a city fo
enlightened as London, and among a people fo
cultivated as the Englifli, that crimes are permit-
ted which infpire us with fuch indignation and hor-
ror when we read of them, even in the hiftory of
Caribs and the MA favage -tribes ? The events
of Ralladt had already (hewn us how little certain
agents of the Engin Government regard the
facred character of an Ambeffador. The 3d of
Nivofe (24th of December), as calculated by the
foi-diraitt Archbilhop of Aaaas and Dor item, fuf-
' Aciently proved that there was nothing, however
facred in the rights of nations. or in the law cf
nature, which certain Englifh agents would not
dare to violate. We fay certain agent: of England,
for GOD forbid that we (hould attribute to a-King,
whole private virtues all England acknowledges,
atrocities and crimes which belong to fome
wretches of the character of Mr. W—; and if
any fhould be difpofed to treat this affertion as er-
roneous and calumniatory, it would be eery for
us to give authentic proofs that fevered affalEns,
excited and hired by Mr. coming from
England, have been feized at Paris, and detained
for feveral months in the Temple. It is not at all
their own declarations that we depend upon, but
original, incontrovertible documents. Next to the
character of an ambaflidor, there is none more
facred than that of prifoners of war. The fame
journals, however, inculcate the expediency of af-
falinating prifoners. If ever the violent editor of
the T—, who, in his left numbers, has difplayed
a foul more atrocious than that of KIRA'', flsould
have any dire& influence, what would remain
facred in England ? The Miniflers of Religion
would be =fund on their altars, the King upon
his throne, and men of property in the tuba of
their polleffions ; for the people which would be-
' gin with the murder of an ambafrador and prifo-
, ncrs, who are under the faith of their honour, '
would not Rop in their career till after they had
run the whole circle of crimes.—Do not the Eng-
bib Minifters, the Members of Parliament, and of
the High Courts of fullite, feel that in coffering
the lot-difent Bifitop of Amite., DUTIML, and
Gioacils, to (hew thernfelves publicly in London.
is to avow the sd of Nivofe (a+thi of December) ?
That to fend aftiffins from London by Ham-
' b",..glitdi Lb * sonamilronn of an Englills Minifler,
.) to 3615nate the Fiat? Opissv t, is, by

exciting crimr,,, to endanger the lives of all Sove-
reigns, of all Miniflers, in Ilion of all men who
exercife influence over nations? In finer why
do they not feel as well as fuller, that the Jour-
nals, and the Minifterial Journals, excite to the
maffacre of the prifoners, and menace Citizen
OTTO ? Is it not to fill Europe with horror ? If
I had the honour of being an Englifh Officer, I
fliould regard as a perfonal infult the provocation
to affaffinate prifoners, and I fliould make it my
particular bufinefs to punifh thofe miferable fcrib.
biers who are big with crimes.
We ought here to remark, that this language
is not that of the Morning Chronicle, nor of the
other Journals acknowledged to be conduEled on
liberal principles. It proves, that what has hap-
pened in France would happen in England, if a
revolution took place in that country. The men
who, hired by the Government, would at firft
difplay all the fury of their minds in fupporting
the caufe of the exifting Government, would, when
the Government was overthrown, ardently em-
brace the moft intemperate party, an endeavour
to caufe their former opinions to be forgotten, by
advifing and executing the moil unexampled
crimes, which at the epoch of a grand revolution
difhonour its caufe, and produce calamity and
death to the trite friends of liberty.. We will, be-
fore concluding, make one other obfervation. It
is, that we arc allured that the refpeEtable Mr. Au-
Disavow, and the other Members of the Englifh
Miniary, have been highly difpleafed at the fool&
and atrocious condui of their Journalifts, and that
they have refufed to hold any intercourfe with the
Bifhop of AItRAS and DUTHEIL.
AUGUST t I.
A Lieutenant in the naval fervice, returned
from Egypt, where he was foam time a prifoner
with the Englifh, writes from the Lazaretto at
Marfeilles, under the date of July 23, that an Enr
lilh cutter which left Aboukir about the Both of
June, informed the Captain of the flag of truce in
which he came home, that the inhabitants of Ro-
fetta had mallacredtheEngliffi garrifon of the place.

BREST, AUGUST 4.
The Englifh Journals fay, and repeat it conti-
nually, that the combined French and Spatyjh
fleet is ready to fail from this Road. We oar,
them our thanks for thefe obliging informations;
without which, we here, mould be ignorant of
this departure, which no circnmftance appears to
indicate. But the reafon is, we do not fee throne;
Admiral Coanwsi.Lis's telefcope. Honour to'
the famous Englifh opticians who make his fpy-
glalres !—How they approximate objets !—No-
thing fbort of the talent of fuch an able artift could
have enabled the Admiral t 6 perceive our whole
fleet at anchor in the Oster Road Well—He has
feen it, however. With all (peed he announces
the intelligence to his Government; they imme-
diately publifh it, and the news, from London,
reaching Paris, finally travels to us, being every
where received as certain. We might, as wit-
flees' confirm the fad, but to the difgrace of the
French optical glaffes, or of thofe optics which
GOD has given us, we own, that we always ima-
gined we law the fleet in the Inner Road—Admiral
CORNWAL LIS will have thettooldinefs to excufe this
Hain miftake of our's; we undoubtedly not
have made it, could we have viewed our fleet
through the flea end of his glafs. (We Mean by
Atoll mid that which throws the objea to a great
diftance.)
