XJ.DY AND TUE TRIBUNAI F.
The Peace of Cont..n.mt has been Zr
Luneville. It is inch as the French people jefacd.
Their fird with e..as the boundary id the Chine.
Their reveries did not Alter their in lination ;
their viaories ought not to unlaic their pones-
(ions. After retiring the antient limits of Gaul,
it belongs to them to rellore to liberty, nations
which were united to them by a common origin,
and the ties of interell and mann n,. The fice-
dom of the Cifalpine and I.igta ian Republics Is se-
cured. Next to this duty, th_r was aliother which
jnftiee and gerierofity preectibed to them.
King of Spans has been taithttil td our cattle, and
has tuffered for it. Neither *.or icscares, uor the •"
perfidious infinuations of out enemiei, have been
able to detach him from our interells. He alail
receive a jolt return. A Prince of his blood is to
be placed on the Throne of Turcany. He will re-
member that he owes it to the fidelity of Spain,
and the friendfhip of France. His roads and his
ports will be fink againft our enemiest anal become
the alylum of our Commerce and OUT edit's. Ant:
tria--and in this confills tha pled;,ii of peace—
Autiria, henceforth feparated from Franc c x.
tenfive regions, will no longer entertain thaifrival-
(hip, and thofe trientments which have for foasany
ages been the torment cithofe two Powers, and
produced the calamities of Europe. By thWtrea-
ty every thing is concluded as to France." She
will have no longer to contend with the
ties and intrigues of a Congrefs. The Govern-
ment owes a teftimony of fattsfaaion to the Milli-
ner Plenipotentiary who has cor.duaed this nego-
tiation to to fortunate an Wile. There rem.d.ts
an interpretation to be dreaded, no explanation to
be demanded, nor any of thofe equivocal *difpofi-
thins, in which the art of diplomacy depofits the
germ via new war. Why is it that ibis treaty is
not a treaty of general 'pacification l This was the
with of France ! this was the conasint objea of
the efforts of ks Government I but all its efforts
have been in vain. Enmplknows all that the Erie
tith hfinifiry have done to prevent the recede of
the negotiations at Luneville. In rain did an
Agent, authorized by the GOvernment, declare to
them on the gth of October, t Bco, that France was
ready to enter into a kparate' negotiation with
them. Ilk declaration was nniwered onlj. by a
refufal, ander the pretext that England could not
abandon her ally. Since that period, and after
that ally had contented to treat yr:shoos
this Government fecks for other means of poftpon-
ing a peace which is Co necefrary to the whole
world. It violates a Convention, confeerated by
humanity, and declvres war againfl fithcrmen.—
It advances pretentious contrary to the dignity and
rights of all nations. All the cortunerce of Alla,
and immtnie colonies, are no longer fulficient to
fatisfy its ambition. It is necetfary that all the Peas
fhould be fubjeacd to the exclufive thvereignty of
England. It arms again* final,
,Elcrimar-k, and
Sweden, becaufe 4uffie, Denmark; and Senders
have, by treaties, mutually guaranteed their fa-
vereignty, their independence, and their Cags.—
The powers of the North, unjoftly attacked, have
a right to rely on the affiltance of France. The
French Government will with them avenge op in-
jury common to all nations, without at Any time
forgetting, that it ought to contendonly for Peace
and the happinefs of Use world.

tors of Government arrived, it will be received to-
morrow at two o'clock.
