introduced, when the 1.11 of there Citizens fead the

Crrizaw OaaTOas OF GO MMMMM ENT -The docu-
ments which you prefent to the Tribunate will prove
an eternal monument of the moderation of the French
people: they will (hew Europe and pollerity how far
the Firft Magifirate of France carried his love for
Peace. Although, according to all probability, the
confecinences of the war be lets formidable for the
Republic than for its enemy, the Tribunate fees with
pain that fuch a fcourge once more threatens humani-

preciate the CHIEr Cow su l.'s efforts to avert it. Our
'confidence in Government is funilar to that which'
the nation entertains—it knows no limits."

NOTE.

The Chancellor of the Empire having received the
orders of the Emperor relative to the invitation made
to his Imperial &Netly by the two principal Con-
tra/ling Partiec to the Treaty of Amiens, to accede
, in quality of guarantee to tb-s Treaty. fo far as re-
lates to the Order of St. John of Jerofaiem, and their
relloratiott to the prilleffion of the Viand of Malta
and its dependencies, is authorifed to give to the
communications of the 22d of October the follow.
ing reply)_

~ Elsa
Majefli the Emperor, from the moment of
his acceflion to the Throne, has constantly (hewn 10
ftrong a defire to feize every opportunity which pre.
rented Well of giving to the two principal Contract-
ing Parties to the Treaty of Amiens the molt tine.
quivocal proofs of his fincere defire to do whatever
might be agreeable to both of them, and to contri-
bute as far as was in his power to re-eflablifh and to
eon& m the continuance of the peace existing betwixt
them, that it cannot now be fuppofed that his inva-
riable fentimeats on this point can have fuffeted any
change. On the other hand, the two Governments
are too equitable not to acknowledge that it is beyond
the Power of the Emperor to yield to the demands
made to him, in virtue of the loth Article of the
Treaty of Amiens. which fixes the future ellablith-
ment of the Order of St. John of Jerufalem, fine
it is, under every confideration, impoffible for his
Imperial Majeßy to accede as a guarantee to Ili-
pulations which are not only contrary to willies ex-
preffed relative to the Order, honoured by the intereft
he felt in their favour, and the proteCtion he had
pledged himfelf to give them, but which would be
inconfiftent with what had been agreed upon anterior
to that Treaty betwixt his Imperial Majefly and one
of the two Contraaing Powers, with refpea to the
faid Order, and relative to the independence and
neutrality of the Maud of Malta.
" This confideration, as important in izfelf, as it
is necetrarily fupported by confiderations of a diffe-
rent kind, has obliged the Emperor not to accede to
the pre(ling requetb, which have been made to him
on the point, by the Court of London, in lithe of the
ardent defire of his Imperial Majelly to comply with
the vases expreffed on this fubea. The difpofitions
which that Court has manifefied to accede to the
wifhes of the Emperor. with refpeft to the Order
and the Mead of Malta, and the readineis expreffed
by the French Government to concert meafures for
promoting the fame end, have not failed to be felt
with correfponding liniments of gratitude by his
' Imperial Majeßy. But, he obstacle which oppofed
his compliance with their wifhes was not weakened.
fince the public and formal aitt continued fill con
tradiziory to the knows and expreffed intenior, or his
lmpesial Majelty, and that it was for this at that
his guarantee was f 4icised. Sin, however, one of
the principal diffi 'Mies i. iensoved by the nomination
and acknowledgment of the Grand Matter, his Ma.
jelly the Empei or, &firms, of giving to the contras
-
tug parties to the 'f eaty of Amiens the cleareß proofs
of his friendfhip, and wifhing to omit nothing on his
part which can tend to confolidate the ghneral tran-
quality of Europe, has determined to popofe to the
two Governments the only plan "thief'. r
under
R-
ing circumllances, can furnifh the pnffibility of wav-
ing the demand which they have mutually made. and
this plan would be, that the two contraaing Powers
(hould form a Convention, or fome other ad fup
plementary to the Treaty of Amiens, by which the
sods Article of the raid Treaty relative to the Order
and the hand of Malta might be modified, altered.
and completed, with refpeet to (event of its difpofi-
tiont, agreeably to the Ripulations of the firll ar-
rangement agreed upon by his Imperial Majelly ;
which, by this means, being fully and formally re-
elkabliffied. would receive the fame fanaion as the
Treaty. of which they would then form an integral
pan. If the two Powers believed that fuch a fup-
plementary article could be agreed upon, his Majefty
the Emperor would bean to accede to it in quality
of Guarantee, and to %hare the obligations attached
to fuch a charaaer with the Courts of Vienna, Ma-
drid,Naples,and Berlin. His Imperial Majetly would
do this the more readily, becaufe, in complying with
the wifhes of the two Powers, he would only follow
the impulfet of his own feelings on this fubjeft, from
which he is defirous of giving them manifeß and
reiterated proofs of his good will, by concurring in
all poffible cafes with their willies.
The Chancellor, by order of the Emperor, that
in this affair no delay might be fuppofed to arife on
the part of the Court of Ruffia, haßens to fubjoin a
Projet of the Articles which may fern as the balls of
a fupplementary aet alluded to above, in cafe the
two Powers lhould be inclined to accede to it.

" On the 12th inf. orders were fent for the French
troops in Italy. to advance and accupy Ancona, Ci•
vita Vecchia, Tarention, and other Sea Ports on the
Mediterranean and AdriAtic Seas. On the fame day
initruaions were forwarded to all French Agents in
Italy, to infibi upon the fequearation of all Englilh
property.
"The Cordon of so.ooo Auerians at the frontiers
of Italy is complete, but orders have been lent for
!Soo° mrre troops to join it. This has offended
M u ear, who ha, demanded new reinforcements from
France. Not Obly the Italian troops, but the French

Confcripts defert in bands 01'20 or 33, over to the
AuariAns. Generals Vaavisar PULLY, and Fco '
RFLLA, agree only in their hatred to MURAT, whn
furpaties, in infolence, even his brother•in•law. The
demand of occupying Sicily with French troops has
been refuted for the third time.

" The renewal of the war has mired general dill
content. millruk and fufpicion. Numerous arrells
have taken place; the Temple is as crowded as in
the moll brilliant days of the Direftory—Many emi-

Chiefs are laid to occupy a dungeon vacant by the,
poifoning of Touissalar at BeCtncon."

and to def. t the ambitious and mcfchierous deigns ot the enemy,
ha I thought it expedient to give orders for calling out the Stipple-
mcnory Militia, and ha Mikity had thought proper to acquaint
the:lHour( with hit intention. Lord H hart than inovcd an M-
aras to his Majcft7, troialting hint for his mutt gracious conunu-
nits lon.

Lord R sem** complained, that the families of perfons frrving

agrees° an Addrels to his Msjefly. When the Bill fhoeld be read
i its next (tap. the No:de kart would thin have an opportunity
of m king his objettions to it.

Lord R contended for his right to (peak an the fubjed
even at that time, and caprefred his difapprobation of the manner
in which important alterations had frequently h.en made in the
Militia by the other Haute, without even an ides that they Ihould
be c.invaffed by Members of the Houfe of Pcen, many of whom
were Go exteriorly intrrefted in that fervice.
