and their Allies, and the French who supported Bo-
naparte? Ought they not, both from honour and
interest, to be severe against the rebels, and soften
to faithful Frenchmen the burdens of a war which
they have suffered in common with all Europe
" This is so evident, thee probably the Allied
So-
vereigns would not hesitate to make the distinc.
unless perhaps its application seemed to them to be
difficult, anal yet never was the line of separation be.
t ween the gond and the had more clearly defined.—
Twelve hundred thousand individuals accepted of Bo-
naparte's Constitution! Here then we have the ad-
berents of Bonaparte. Let the war taxes fall chiefly
upon them : Europe and twelve millions of French-
men will applaud the deed. And who ate those
)200,000 who• signed the Asiditiona Act ? ilitt;
lirsi piece, the Army, afterwards the Chambers, the
Council of State, the corrupted and corrupting Ad-
elinistratien, the unfaithful Magistrates, and finally'
pert of the acquirers of national domains.
66 The latter, by spreading false reports, and this.
sentineling threat, and defiance, were the more cut-
kable because thee was nothing .to disturb them c•—
the Constitutional Charter, the Law, the King, every
thing guaranteed their property. Such is the list In
question. It should seem as if fleetest had permitted
this Champ de Msti, and all the documents connected
*ill it, that. all Europe might know the enemies of
the repose of the world. These considerations are
so dear that they must strike every person.

" Here therefore is the simplest 'Wiled u f

iug the object of punishing the rebels, he sparing as
much as possible the faithful French and friends of
the peace of the week,. It will he laid down as a
principle, and deleted by the Allied Sovereigns, that
in the necessity under which they are, of demanding
from France war contributions, to indemnify them
for the enormous charges occasioned by Bonaparte's
usurpation, they insist that every subscriber to the
additional act, shall pay a contribution triple of that
of every faithful Frenchman.
.6 Thus for example (the principle being once ad.
milted) in a given department if two men pay each a
thousand franca of coutribotion, and if the ear tax
i, raised our the department to half the annual impo-
sition, the Frenchman who has been faithful to the
King will pay 500 Reaves, and the subscriber to Bo-
staparte's Constitution !SOO francs.
" It may be said that many public functionaries
only signed Boneparte's Constitution to preserve
their places. But is it not just then, since it pleased
them to purchase their places at the expence of their
own honour and the interests of the country, that
they should suffer In their interests ? Is it not just that
the acquirer of national domain, whose property the
Win' Tres consolidated, and who has made sacrifices
to support the cause of Bouaparte, should pay a
lereer contribution ?"

VIENNA, JULY 128 - -When the intelligence of

!rite Paris Papers of Monday last are tome ti I
band, iucludiug the Gazette Ojficlei& of that dey.—
The measures of the present French Government are!
of the most enigmatical sort. NVe lately had a De..;
tree for increasing the army to an extent • which els-
peated to accord very little with the confident ex-
peetations of peace, or the ditiiiiiished resources of I
France—Now an Ordinance appears, signed by
Louis and his Minister at War, ST. CYR, stating,
that as the actual force of the kingdom far exceeds the ,
amount necessary for a state of peace, and is out of •
proportion with the resources of the kingdom, a plate I
of reformation has been determined upon, Uhioli la!
specified at length, and that this reformation or re-1
duction is to commense with the officers " who from
their age and infirmities are no longer fit for active
sorvice," and who are to retire upon pensions. If
the discharges are to be confined to this class of per-
sons it is indeed a reformation, but no reduction of
the military strength of France, as the 'timber of
ieffectives are to be greatly augmented. This, how-
ever, may be a mere scheme to get rid of the dauger-
ties spirits, whose iqfirtnitg to ?^rre the lying may lie
considered as incurable. But this will not satisfy !
those who are calling out. for the as to be applied to
the root Alas ! they consider not the weakness of ,
the hand from which they expect such vigour—they I
know not the difficulties that 'thud in 'the way of
Radical Refortn—they know not that Princes are ig-
norant that it is the policy of Kings and the per-
fection of Generalship, when the popular storm can-
not be controuled, to sail with the current, and that.
the danger is not iii granting the wishes of a people
but in thwarting them.
The expectation is repeated that the Allies mean to
respect the integrity of-France. Upon whet evidence—
is this expectation grou tided ? Every thing betokens
the contrary. The sieges of the frontier fortresses
that have, not surrendered to else Allies, are stilt
pressed with the stalest vigour. By Brussels Papers
to the 13th, and Frankfort to the 10th, which
nr-
livcd this forenoon, we find that Valenciennes has
been ander the necessity of capitulating, and that
Thionvi:le, and Itocroi, are suffering
great privations in conseyeence of the strict blockade I
of the Allies, notwithstanding the white flag has
been long flying oil. these fortresses. The Prussians,
Lod the troops under the King of the NETHRRLANDT;
are those vt ho continue these operations, long after
the ostensible causes of the war have; ceased to be
grounds of hostility, and in defiance of every thing
that bas the appearance of justice and humanity.
The Prussians, taking advantage of the disorganized
state of France and its Government, appear to have
pressed their conquests as far as Laen, which, ac-

arms, the garrison, like that of Mosters,.being on
