pared to draw fome inferences
from it. 1t was as fplendid as
ulual. The Firff Conful made
his appearance, and faid, on his.
entrance, to the Englilh Ambaf-
fador, who was ftanding beGde.
M. Markof, " We have been
at war for twelve years. The
King ofEngland fays, that France
is making immenfe naval pre-
parations. He has been led into
an error. In the French ports
there are no preparations Of any
magnitude. The feet is gone to
St. Domingo and the colonies.
With regard TO the ports Of Hol-
land, to which the meGage like
wife alludeS, there are only the
preparations for the expedition
under General Victor, and all
Europe knows its deltination is
for Louiiana. The King fays
further, that between the cabi-
nets of Paris and London, diff
ferenceS continue. l know of
none. 1t is true, that England
ought to have evacuated Malta,
and Malta is not evacuated
and as his Btitannic Majefy has
bound himfelf by the mott folemn
treaty ever entered into, it isim-
polible to doubt Of tbs fpeedy
evacuation Of that iiland. And"
added the Firt Conful, " thofe
who would attempt to frighten
the French people lhould know
that it is poAible to kill, but not
TO intimidate them" During
the courfe Of the evening, when
the Fir(t Conful happened 10 be
near NJ. Markof, he faid to him
in low voice, +" thar the Britilh
Miniltry wiihed to keep Malta
for five years more. Such pro
polal was infulting, and no trea-
ties ihould be entered into which
il was not relolved TO obierve.
Al the conclufion Of the Afem.
bly,, when the Englilh Ambafa-
dor was about TO retire, the Firf
Conlul faid 10 him, g Madame
the Duchefs Of Dorfet has fpens
the unpleaiant part Of the year at
Paris. 1t is my hncere with that
fhe may allo fpend the agreeable
feafon. But ifit lhould happen
that we really mutt go to war,
the refponGbilty is excluhvely
with thole who deny the validity
Of their own contracts, Gnce they
refuGe 70 oblerye treaties which
they had concluded" Thele
words of the Firlt Conful require
no comment They explain
completely his preient opinions,
his paf conduit, and his refolu-
tions for the future. Ii is fufi
cient 10 compare them with the

every liberal and enlightened
mind. Whatever potion it may
contain, carries with it a fuhcient

ing Golemn treaty, for the fake
of advantages, which will be
maintained, and the facri6cc of
which the honor of France and
the faith of treaties forbid
When a man reads this menage,
he thinks himfelf transported to
the times of thole treaties which
the Vandals made with the de-
generate Romans, when force
ufurped the place of right, and
when, with a hafy appeal TO
arms, they infulted the antago-
nilt they meant to attack. In
the preient fate of civilization
there is refpe6 which great
Monarch, which polilhed peo-
| pie owe 10 themfelves, were that
refped no more than 10 Geek a
plauGble pretext for an unjult
war. But in this intance every
thing is precipitated, and rePug-
nant to decency and TO juhice.
An eternal war would fucceed
a dreadful contef, and the more
unjult the attack, the more irre-
concilable would be its animoii-
ty. Such a novelty will doubt
lelS excite the dilapprobation OF
Europe. While even the Eng
lilh, whole national pride had
not entirely blinded them, Ggh-
ed at this profpea, did the Times
call the peace of Amiens an ar
mifice, and in doing 70 pafed
the fevereft fatire on the govern
ment it defended, and the rapid
fall Of the national funds is the
frlt prelude to the misfortunes
which may follow, as the revenge
due for the wound given to all
locial rights. The French are
lefs intimidated than irritated by
the threats Of England. They
have neither been difpirited by
their reverleS, nor elated by their
victories in a war 10 which
there appeared no termination,
they faw all Europe confederated
againlt them. Their conltancy,
their courage, and the prompt
activity of their government,
broughtit 10 4 concluGon. This
war would have a different Object.
France would contend for the
liberty of the States of Europe,
and the facrednels of their trea-
ties ; and if the Englilh govern
ment be determined 10 make il
a national war, perhaps her boat
ed formidable naval ltrength
would not be fufficient to decide
the refult, and to fecure the vic
tory.-The French, ltrong in
the iulfice of their caufe, and in
the confidence they repofein their
government, do not dread the
new expenfes and new Gacrihces
which fuch a war might render
nccefary. Their fyifem of fl.

FOR fome months a war OF
newspapers and of the prefs has
been kept up between France
and England. This feemed
merely the dying embers of an
extinguilhed conRagration f; the
alt confolation of a defperatc
party the food of fome low paf-
fionS and few hungry fcribblers.
The French government was far
from attaching importancetofuch
matters. notwithstanding fome
difficulties in the complete execu-
ton of the treaty Of Amiens, they
till believed they might rely on
the good faith of the Britilh gov
ernment, and directed their at
tention foley to the re-eltablilh-
Gent Of the colonies. Relying
upon the lacrednefs of treaties,
they fecurely difperfed the re-
mains of the French naval force,
which had been given a prey 10
the Engliih feet. In this htua-
ton, luddenly appeared a folemn
mefage from the cabinet Of ST..
James's, and informed all Eu-
rope that France was making
conGderable preparations in the
ports Of Holland and France /;
an addrels was voted by Parlia-
ment, promifng to the King of
England fuch extraordinary
means of defence, as the fecuri-
ty of the Britilh Empire, andthe
honor of the Three Crowns,
might require. From the fud-
den appearance of this meaage,
people doubted whether it was
the effect of treachery, of lunacy,
or of weakness.
Let any one cat his eye over
the eports Of France and Holland,
where he will find only detached
naval preparations defined for
the colonies, and confilting only
of one or two line of battle fhips
and few frigates. On the 9TH
er hand, let him look at the ports
OF England, filled with a formid-.
able naval force. On fuch a re-
view, one could be tempted to
