He had projects mom snit .far your glory and
for your prosperity ; the inconstancy of the element

if his great designs.
" The Emperor prefers the happinessof the peorl:
to glory too dearly bought. He has therefore re-

mounced all plans of aggrandisement ; he .has con-
sented to' sacrifices painful both for himself and for
us—in a word, he has accepted all the conditions ei
peace proposed to him by our enemies. -

peace, if those same enemies had not thought fit to
deb), it. They defer esigning,a treaty, the basis of
which they have themselves llaid dawn ; and during
this delayf they perfidiously endeavour to make .you
doubt of the pacific intentions of his Majesty.
" No Frenchman can be deceived by theM., , His
Majesty has declared to the Senate', to the Legislative

you feel what honour and your country require of

proud attitude which becodies a great people ; if you

which they have proposed, the only Means of obtain-

SPIRE,DECIMER SI.
An the troops are in motion in our deliartmenf, a
large corps is going to march to the Lower Rhine I it
will be commanded, they say, by the Marshal Duke
of Ragusa. Several corps of cavalry are also depart-
ing to ascend the Rhine. Every thing chews that a
considerable force wilt be assembled in Alsace. A
corps of Russians and Austrians, said to Je com-
manded by General Tolstoy and Count Colloredo,
arrived come days ago in the grand duchy of Baden.
They are the troops which were before Dresden.—
, They have made a shew of passing the Rhine in our
neighbOurhood, but it was soon evident that they
only wanted to amuse our troops, and prevent their)
from going to other points. The enemy's corps has
since taken the road to Rastadt, and continues to
ascend the Rhine.
UPPER RHINE, JANUARY 2.

_ .
The enemy appears to. hesitate, since he sees we
are prepared to receive him. On our side, our con-
f4denciincreases with the continual augmentation of
our forces. Troops of every kind are arriving.in the
departments, Vosges, Jura, and Doubs.
It is said, that in a few days a formidable army
will be assembled at Langres, to act against the
Allies. The energy of the inhabitants will not fail to
accelerate the enemy's retreat. _
