is absurd to imagine that a Treaty could

the French territory, whilst France is under such

proclaiming to The people how much and how many
are the efforts and sacrifices on their part yet neces.

dence of their country.
The Congress was to open in two days, according
this calculation yesterday or to-day. Nothing de-

fact, neither the tope of safety, nor tree honour,
esrepein our union. All good citizens can and
hare unly une ohject,—that of putting an end to
our resentments. Necessity disarms even the most
noble courage. - '

The voice of reconciliation is heard every where,
because the expression of all interests will vangnish
all parties, and will triumph over their passions, be-
cause all parties are composed of Frenchmen.
The benefits which France may expect depend upon
an intimate union with the King ; for if the nation
is not irked to its Monarch, we should not ieceive
from the N'rvereign any guarantee of our indepen-
dence, becatise we should give none of our repose.
Whatever may be its reverses, a great people may
still, by the voice of its King, reclaim and cause its
rights to be respected ; because justice is out of the
reach or-misfortune. The wise of faction is justly
repelled—it cannot even be heard.
There is, therefffre, a limit to the mifortones of a
State, in whtch-nettessity prescribes the sacrifice of all
passions, and le attention to the general safety.—
True duty and patriotism must unite us as a barrier
around our Monarch, whose knowledge and high
virtues have been long known to us. Our country,
in resuming its rank amongst the States of Europe,
will'find in its fidelity a durable prosperity.

FRANKFORT, JULY 25.—A letter from Spires, of
the tith, announces that Landau has surrendered,
and that the Allied troops are to enter it on the 25th.
Gcsros, Jur.y It--The fortress of Gaeta, in the
kingdom of Naples, still holds out. The Governor
is a French General, named MOntigny. This garri-
son is composed of adventurers of all nations, French,
Corsicans, Poles, and a small number of Italians, not
exceeding 400 men. These soldiers are men greedy
of plunder; every thing induces a belief, that they i
would willingly try to embark with the riches which
Murat had deposited at Gaeta as a place of security ;
but the port is so closely blockaded by the English
squadron that it is difficult for the smallest boat to
elude their vigilance. The Sicilian troops blockade
the place by land. According to various statements
there are provisions in it for six months.
