SENT INTO THE NEAPOLITAN STATES.

Head-Qprters at Florence, April 1.
Soldiers—You have advanced to combat the
Neapolitans; they have laid down their arms he-
fore you, and your pretence has been fufficient to
procure what your valour was prepared to com-
mand. A King, long blind to his own interefts,
has concluded a peace with the French Republic,
and has driven from his ports the enemy of France,
the enemy of Europe, the infatiable and perfidious
Engin. You are on the eve of entering peaceably
into a territory which you were prepared to feizc
by force ; you are about to occupy the Neapolitan
cities. Concord, confidence, friendfhip open their
gates, and you will maintain them in fpite of the
influence and the efforts of the Cabinet of St.
James's. You will difplay in your conduit that
moderation, that noblenefs, and that generofity
which are fishable to the national charaller. Re-
fpetl a Government now become the friend of
the French Government. Refped the religion, the
morals, and if it is necelfary, even the prejudices
of the people among whom you are to live. Con-
fider always that it is worthy of you to hold out
an example to the world, but that you are not in-
haled to become its reformers. Soldiers, it is
you that for ten years have fullained, with arms
in your hands, the glory of the French Name ; to
you it belongs fill to fupport it, and if poilible to
augment it after victory. Europe has fufficiently
learnt to dread you, let it' now begin to cherilh
you. Let it now be fail by the world, that you
are equally diffinguifhed by your focial virtues as
you are confpicuous by your military achieve-
ments. The Government has its eyes upon you.
It will diftinguith thole corps who, during peace,
fecure among hangers refpeet and affeEtion,
as it has diftinguithed during war thole who have
(hewn thensfelves molt terrible in combat. You
will find in your turn among the Neapolitans,
every fentiment, and every kind-office of friendfluip.
Efface every former remembrance. But deftruc•
tion awaits the whole nation if their perfidy thould
induce them to (pill a tingle drop of French blood.

Inform the Tuscans, by a Proclamation, that a
Prince of the Houle of Spain, the Ally of the French
Republic, is come among them furrounded by the
bleffings of peace. On this day, which fixes the
fate oithis country, it is fit that all patlions fhould
be extinguifhed—that all recollections fhould be
effaced—that every other consideration fhould be
loft in thole fentiments which you owe to your
Country, and to the Government that is to confli-
tute its happinefs. I exiled, Gentlemen, from your
care this happy refult. Employ for the attain-
ment of this object, all the influence arifing from
your perfonal chars ter, your ferviccs, and the au-
thority with which yon are invested. You will
then have worthily fulfilled the confidence which
I have repofed in you; and you will have acquir-
ed a juft claim to the protection of your new
Prime. I have the honour to falutc you.
