commending the insertion of the following passages,
which may enable your Readers to form a just con-
ception of the principles of this loyal and consistent

6 At the time the Sardinian, Tuscan, and Papal
Envoys were at Paris, to settle a definitive Treaty of
pace, accounts were received that the French army
in Italy had received some slight checks, the conse-
quence of which was, that the Envoys above-named
refused to sign the Treaty. They were, of course,
ordered to leave Paris immediately, se averse were

should hold the helm of the French Republic; con.
