In Germany the tall il initiations of the treaty
r f Luneville are carrying into effect. Prnifia, Ba-
varia, all the Secular Prini..l who had poffellions
cr, the left bank of the Rhine, will obtain on the
right bank fuitable itidtmnitiee. The Houle of
Auftria finds in the Bifhoprics of Salzburg'', Aich•
lieu, Trent, and Illixen, and the greatell part
of Pau, more than it had 101 l in Tuleany. Thus,
bs the happy cooperation of France and Rutile,
all permanent intereas are conciliated,and from the
bofom of that tempell which leaned ready to over-
whelm it, the Germanic Empire, that empire lo
ncceliary to the equilibrium and the repofe cif Eu-

A French Ambatrador is at Conaantinople,
charged with renewing and fortifying the ties
which attach us to a power which Items to be
threatened with deftrutlion, but which it is our
interell to fuflain, and to lupport the foundations!
by which it is upheld. The Britilh forces are flat;
is Alexandria and Malta. The government had
a fair right of complaint, but it has received intel-
ligence that the veffels which are to convey them
to Europe are already in the Meditciyancan.
The government guarantees to the nation the
peace of the continent, and it is permitted to en-
tertain a hope of the continuance of maritime
peace. This peace is the want as well as the de-1
fire of all nations. For its prefervation, the go.
vernment will do every thing compatible with na-
tional honour, efrentially connected with the drier
execution of the treaties.
But in England, two parties maintain a contet
for power. One of thole parties has concluded
peace, and appears defirous of maintaining it.—
The other has taken an oath of eternal hatred to
France. He nee that fluctuation of opinion and of
enurdels which prevails. Hence that attitude, at
the fame time pacific and menacing. While this
contca of parties continues, meafures of precau-
tion are what the government is called upon to
adopt. Five hundred thoufand men ought to be,
and (hal he ready to undertake its defence, and
avenge its injuries. Strange neceffity which mile-
rabic paflions impofe on two nations, whom irate.
yell and inclination mutually prompt to the culti-
vation of peace. Whatever fucccfs intrigues may
experience in London, nn other people will be in.
vnived in new combinations—the government Lays
with conlcions pride, that England alone cannot
maintain a it•siggle againa France. But we have
tter hopes, and we believe that in the Britilh ca-
binet, nothing will be liftened to, but the countels
of wifdom and the voice of humanity. Yes, doubt-
lefs, the peace will daily be more confolidated
The relation of the two governments will affume
that character of goodwill which is fuitable to their
mutual interefts. A happy repofe will bury the
recolleelion of the long calamities of a Jiiatar(.tis
sear, and France and England, rendering their
happinef, reciprocal, will deferve the gratitude of
the u hole world.
