of muficians, preced-

the places defkined for the fete; they shall flop in
the temples and the othermonuments of the Place
de la Concorde, to perform concerts and chaunt
hymns in honour of pe e. An noon a flotilla of
barges and boats, adorned in a uniform manner,'
and bearing fimilar flags, (hall fail up the river
from Chaillot to the Temple of Commerce.—
On board of thefe barges and boats the failors of
all nations (ball join in the fete. They (hall be
welcomed by a difcharge of artillery. The barges
(hall difplay a variety of naval evolutioas before
the Temple 6f Commerce. The Temple (hall re-
' found with flourithes of trumpets, and fongs of
rejoicing. At five o'clock the illumination of the
bridges, of the quays, and of Place de la Concorde
ball take place. Dances ILI: begin at the fame
time in the halls prepared for the purpofe in the
Place de la Concorde..
At fix o'clock will be difplayed a pantomimic
fpeaacle in the grand Theatre. All nations (hall
appe-s armed, the one againfl the other, and the
teems will be diverfified by a fucceflion of military
evolutions, affaults, marches and combats. This
is to form a piaure of the horrorOof war. There
miferics ceafe ; a difcharge of artillery announces
the happy event. The military conftruttions which
decorated the lower part of the Theatre are de-
flroyed. The milder light which illuminates the
fcene, leaves in profpea the Temples of Peace, of
the Fine Arts, and of Commerce. A hymn to
peace fiicceeds—a ballet compofed of all nations re-
conciled doles the fpeaacle. At nine in the even-
ing a grand difplay of fire-works on the river, in
the Temple of Commerce, diverfifies the nppear-
ance of the Feftival. The barges illuminated then
go through various evolutions : and the reft of the
night is fpent in dancing.
The FIRST CONSUL, on the night of the arrival
of the courier who btotight the Ratification of the
POPE'S Concordat, made a prefcot of three fnuff-
boxes, fet with diamonds, to the Plenipotentiaries
whom the Pore employed on that oecafion.
THE LAST Two Yr rots.—The 16th Odlober is
a day which will long be famous in the feflivals of
the French Republic. On this day General Bo-
NAPARTE arrived at Paris from Egypt. Two years
have fiace elapfed, and thefe two years have fur-
nillied to France a greater number of glorious
epochs than the moil renowned empires of the
world can prefent during many ages of fplendour.
When a comparifon is made between our Felon
fituation, and that in which we were two years
ago, it is enough to be Frenchmen to be fired with
fentiments of exultation and enthitfiafm ; and to
give way to refpea and afloniibment, it is enough
to be men. .

Who was the true Republican, the fincere friend
of his country, the man devoted to the revolution,
who did not forefee then the deftralion of his dear-
dl hopes, the total eriation of the principles of
liberty, the debafement and perhaps the diforgani-
xation of the focial body ? Victory herfelf had for
fome time abandoned our flandards ; the coalition
of the Powers of Europe watreore firietly united ;
the flames of civil war again raged in La Ven-
dee ; a phrenfy feemed to have foxed the Legifla-
tors themfelves ; the law of hollages,that of forced
loans, and various others which It is affliding to
think of, attefled the difregard of public faith and
filled the heart of every Citizen with dillruft and
defpair : The fyftetn of terror, ever on the watch
to refume its empire, began to re-appear under the
molt hideous fhapcs ; a few months more and our
liberty, our glory, and our indepenclance were
' gone for ever.
Such a change has taken place in our fituation,
that when that jult deferibed is recollected, it ap-
pears that the memory mat go back fcveral ages,
and it is but two years! BONAPARTE arrives!—
What exertions, what fuccelles, what profperity
enfued! Ye who remain unmoved by the prefent
condition of your country, anfwer if you let any
value upon aconftitution at once favourable to li-
berty, and to the permanence of the power which
governs ?—Do you think there is any thing in the
fudden creation of four armies for the palfage of
the Alps, for the deliverance of Italy, for the vic-
tory of Marengo, for the trophies railed upon the
Rhine and on the Danube ? Have you heard of the
pacification of La Vendee, of the retreat of the
Ruffians, of the peace of Luneville, of the tran-
quillity of the interior, of the union of parties, of
the oblivion of former animolities, of the revival
of commerce, of the re-eflablifhment of the finan-
ces ? Have you reflected on the difarmament of
England, the reflitution of your colonies, the jut-
Lice you have procured for your allies, the enfran-
chifement of the Milanefe, of the honour of giving,
at your pleafure, a government to Tufcany ?
Would you have believed, in fine, that in lets than
two years the fame decade would have witnellcd
the publication of a glorious peace with England,
with Portugal, and with Ruflia ; that in leis than
two years you would not have an enemy on the
face of the globe, and every :tate in Europe would
be proud of your alliance and your ft iendfhip ?
Let the iath July then, and the t fah Odoher,
• be for ever facred epochs for the Republic ! The
• one we owe .o the genius of the nation, the other
to the genius of a great man ; the one conquered
liberty, by the other liberty will be confolidated ;
• the one produced a total change, and by the other
• every thing is confirmed. Ltt there be engraved
in knees of gold in our annals, and in the annals
' of every nation alive to heroilm, to the grandeur
and the dic.ity of the rights of man!
