FRANCE.

TRIBUNATE, 3 PRAIRIAL, (MAY 23.)

t
(

Dam:, Ut the namr. of a Speciai Commiflion. made
a Report on the official Papers connefted with the
latr Negociation with England.
ile began his fpeech by endeavouring to (hew, that
fince the conclutirm of the Ti eaty of Amiens, the al.
lies of France ;Ltd the bell founded reafon for com-
plaints. The Cape of Good Hope remained long
ties orid the period (Updated in the hands of Eng-
land. Egypt was not given up to Turkey, and Malta
s Lcognized to be independent, was not evacuated,
agreeably to the terms of the treaty. Still, however,
the orator contended, that it was not in France that
the brit cry for war was heard. Oa the part of Eng-
land negotiations were required when there was no.
thing to fettle. The confequence of there negotia-
tions was, that a rigid inquiry was neceffarily infli-
tuted into the caufes of mutual complaint and re-
crimination. He accordingly drew a (ketch of the
conleft, to which, by the confpiracy formed againft
the Revolution, the French people were expoled.—
The French had been called on to encounter the
greatell danger ; their liberty and independence had
been menaced with dellt ation ; but the grand feel-
ings of liberty had animated and fopported their
exertions. He referred to the contemptuous manner
in which the fir(' overtures of Bonaparte were re-
jeCted, and triumphed in the dirappointment of the
haughty language in which the rejeCtion was con-
veyed. The confequences of the refufal were not
verlooked. Thcy were drawn and depiEled in the
croft glowing colours. Marengo was not forgotten,
and the battle of Hohenlinden attelled the circa& of
the rejeetion of the proffered views of peace. From
the events that preceded the Treaty of Amiens he
paired to the confideraiion of thole by which it had
been followed. The whole of the early eaufes of com-
plaint, derived from publications which had excited
the indignation of the Firit Confhl, the flay of a cer-
tain defcription of the emigrants in this country, and
the circulation of defamatory produElions in France,
were particularly examined. He alluded to the com-
plaints made againft France for invading the indepen-
dence of weaker Powers. He -contrafted the ag-
grandizement of France in Europe, with England
sn India, and contended that the balance was much
in our favour. He was more pointed on this fubjeCt
than any real lover of the upright and honourable cha-
rasher of this country could have wifhed that he was
borne out by flatemeots. From this part of his pic-
ture it is impoflible not to turn afide volt regret, that
events (hould have taken place in our Indian dorni-
rions, to give a pretext for accufations In readily to I
be embraced. He appealed forcibly to the pride and
the fpirit of the country in the profecution of the
conceit in which France was involved. " French-
men," Paid he, You have heard what is Will
to you, or rather what is required of you. Will you
confent to ftibmit to a yoke fo offenfive, and fojuflify
pretenfions formerly unheard of. And who is the
individual fo pufillanimous—fo much the enemy of
your glory, as to dare to give you this co lofty ? Far
from me be fuch a thought. If you are capable of
)iesuing so Nos ruggentons, your magiflrates ought
to be fluent. In vain will they endeavour to per-
fuade you."
The Orator, in the conclufion of his fpeech, re-
marked, that England could only inflift flight wounds,
while the French could attack the heart of Great Bri-
tain. It is poffible, added he, that France may
terminate this war in one day, and how many years
will not be necefrary to force us to demand peace ?
It is above all things neceffary to (hew to England
that the never (hall attempt to treat France as the
Princes of Afia, and to calculate the extent of her
opprelEons by weaknefs and timidity."
The further dircuftion was adjourned till the rub-
fequent day, when Boissv d'ANGLas delivered a
very eloquent fpeech, of which we give a abort
abridgment:
He began by declaiming again(' the ambition of
England, to which he imputes the renewal of hoftili-
ties, and by extolling the folicitude and fincerity of
the French Government in its endeavours to preferve
peace. He then proceeds to (hew that England can
have no hopes of any continental alliances, and her
condue, and the exorbitancy of her demands through-
out the negnciation, mull excite again(' her the in.
4ignation and the of every other Power.—
.Againft her pretentious to Malta he inveighs with the
bitterea acrimony, and Ass, .1 is it to be experned
that the Grand Scignior can tamely fubmit to an
nfurpation equally oppofite to his intereft and to his
fecurity ? Is it to he expelled that the Emperor of
Germany, who, by the pofreilion of 'crielle and of
the city of Venice, that Venice, In long the only
commercial city of the world, is enabled alfo loon to
become a maritime power, can be fo blind to his in-
terefts as to content to an order of things which, by
(butting him up for ever within his territorial parti-
tions and his ports, would forego the advarrage which
one day he may promife himfelf of partaking with us in
the commerce of the Mediterranean t Is it to be ex-
peEted that the King of Naples will volurrat ily content
to that ufurpatinn of the Englifh, and that he Ihould
become the vaffal of an illand of which he In lately
held the Sovereignty ? As to Praia and Span, they
are tpo much our friends, they are ton teligietis obfet.
vers of treaties not to behold with indignation that vio-
lation of the law of nations. I fay nothing of the Nor-
thern Powers. It is not among them that England
is likely to meet with allies. Ruffia will never forget
that not very long fence the beheld before Crontladt
the infulting fleets of England, and the allies of Co
penbagen are (till obferved to fmoke
As vainly has the hoped to re-kindle among(' us the
rage of parties and of anarchy, to excite new divi-
firms, to foment frelb detturbances, to prepare new
crimes. In theft attempts (h (hall not itic..eed ; non
will the interior of the Republic be mole attentive to
her call than the external p•iwers. The only (hit WC
that henceforth than exitt among Frenchmen se. ill be a
rivalry in alacrity and in courage. Frenchmen will
all of them take up arms ; for England is the enemy
of them all. Es en thr.fe whole the has for lime
years fucceeded in flattering by her prornilit will not
hefisate to rejed throe promifes, now that a more hu-
mane Government has battened to Itrctch out its
arms to them. They will khow that England is
%shell the process than when fhe
more dangerous
lights; they will r.ot Ir.f.t the recolleftion of that la
Vender, where French bio4.d flowed In lbockingly
and fo km& from wcur.ds indidied by t'se hands of

Frenchmen; of that la Vendee, excited by the Cabi.
net of London, favoured as long as it was weak, de-
ferted as loon as it became wrong, and Always kept
up to that point where it was thought neceffary it
fhould remain, in order to balance the Republican
forces, without either being able to conquer them,
or to be conquered by them ; of that la Vendee, in
fhort, where every thing was calculated, directed,
commanded, and paid by England, even to tie di.
vilion of the leaders among the rebels, and the bar-
barous meafures by which the two parties rendered
themfelves but too culpable . . . They will not
lofe the recolleetion of Qttiberon, where the Englifb
indemnified themfelves with fo much cruelty and
perfidy, for the defeat of thole of whom they had
armed the hands, by hindering them from efcaping
from their conquerors, and by driving them away
with cannon thot from the very veffols from which
they were difembarked. All of us, notwithflanding
the difference of opinion that may have to long di-
vided us, cannot help recollecting Toulon, which the
EnglA disc not occupy, in order to fuccour the op-
preffed, as they pretended, but folely to burn our
magazines, to take or to burn our chips, and which
they haftened to evacuate as loon as they had ac-
complifhed thefe fhameful objects. We cannot but
remember Lyons, that capital of French indultry, the
liege of which, and the events which provoked it ;
the defence, the attack, the furrender, the demoli•
tions, the buntings, the horrible maffacres of which
were decided on in the Cabinet of St. James's, and
directed by its llipencliaiies; and we (hall find in thefe
lecolleetions and f i many others of a fimilar nature,
which it would be too long and too painful to revive,
motives without number for repelling with new and
redoubled energy the attacks of fo cruel an enemy.—
Ah—l fwearby our own glory,by the intereft which
each of us feels, by the happinels which we enjoy,
by all the ties that bind us equally to a country
which we hold it fo honourable and fo dear to love,
the Englilh (hall find none but enemies amongft us.
They thall not introduce amongit us the horrible
Icourge of a civil war, and although they fhould once
more caw upon our coatis all the brigands to whom
they now conk& that they afford an afylum, they
fhould not have the little, but horrible advantage of
organizing upon our public ways robbery and 21E41E-
nation. In vain do they ezpelt that, in order to re-
pulfe their attacks, we (hall be compelled to retort to
revolutionary means: no, they are millaken. Thefe
times are no more. The revolution is finilbed, nor
can the war renew it. The revolution is at an end;
our flrength, our fecurity, the hopes of our happi•
nets and of our (need's, the pledge of the peace of
the Continent, the expellation of a general peace,
are now contained in dick words--The Revolution
is fini(hed.

'0 But they fay, to intimidate us, " that among
them the war is popular :"—Popular! Where can it
be fo ? Is it in Ireland? Are not tile Irifh tired of
the yoke that oppreffes them ? Do they not loudly
call for the deliverer, who is to reflore them to their
ancient rights? Is it at London ? But does not Lon-
don behold with concern, and even with difcontents
a war, the poffible refult of which may be, the bank-
ruptcy of its Government, the ruin of its Bank, and
conlequently the abfolute ruin of the majority of its
inhabitants ? Can it be imagined that, in that eaten
-
luting city, it has not already been felt, that, if war
fhould be declared, almoft all the ports of the Con-
tinent will be fhut againft Englith commerce ; and in
the country Rill more than in the towns, the miferies
of war will be feverely felt. In the country mull be
railed that numerous militia, whom the fear of an
invafion, and the uncertainty of where it will be at-
tempted, will call to every point of the coaft, and
thus tear them away from all the purfuita of agri-
culture ? How then Call the war be popular in the
country? Indeed all parties look upon it with dread.
The friends of liberty, as neceffarily flrengthening
the defpotifm of Minifters, as rendering the power of
the King abfolute, as fufpending and loon annihilat-
ing the privileges of the people ; nor do the friends
of Government dread it Ids; for they dare not anti.
cipate how far, with the refponfibility which Govern.
ment is contradling, it will be able to refill our Cue-
eds, or to brave their own reveries.

But in France. if not in England, the war is fuse
to be popular. The Government will be feconded
bribe general affent, and by the aid of each indivi-
dual. The glory, the intereft, and Lapliners of every
Frenchman are involved in its fuccefs. For it is evi-
dent that the war will not only be direeted againft
the nation in general, and the Government, but
againit each individual. Is it not our agriculture
which the enemy would deltroy ? Is it not our com-
merce they would cripple ; is it not our towns they
would demolifh, and the country they would impo.
verifh ? Do they not hope to increafe our taxes with
our expences, and thus dry up the fourees of our
profpei ity? But I again repeat it—thefe odious hopes
(hall be all fruftrated." He then concluded with
conjuring his countrymen to be unanimous; afruring
them that unanimity would infallibly procure them
fuccefs—that the war mutt be (hort, and that vittory
would arm them with the falutary power of con-
demning thole to enjoy the (sweets of peace, who had
fo imprudently broken it.
