The French troops have received orders
to evacuate Helvetia. Thus the wifties
of a people, who have for a long time
sighed after entire independence, are ful
filled. Citizen Strapfcr has made known
to theminifterof foreign affairs how much
this loyal and generous conduct on the
part of the republic, fills the Helvetic na
tion and their government with gratitude.
May this nation, which hiftory has al
ways exhibited as a model of energy,
courage and good morals, rally around
their governu ent, and make a facrifice of
all their paflions to its imereft, its inde
pendence, and its glory. [Moniteur.

ADRIANOPLE, June 17.
We experience all the evils ot rebelli
on and military anarchy. Twenty thou
sand Albanians, under the orders of Hake
Pacha, were charged to protect Romelia
from the bands ot robbers who defolatcd
the country, and from the enterprizes of
Guirgi Pacha, whom the Sublime Porte
has declared a rebel, and deprived of his
dignities j but Hake Pacha, instead of
keeping the field with his troops, left
♦hem at Adtianople where he neglefled-to
pay them, though he had received large
sums tor the purpose, and had levied con
tributions upon all the towns ot his Pa
chalek. This condud roused the spirit
of insubordination in the Albanian gar.
tifon, and when they learnt that Hake
Pacha was replaced in his government by
Omer Pacha, they penetrated by force
into the palace of thedifgraced command
er, and pillaged his treasure and his pro
perty.
Omer Pacha, in order to preserve A
drianople from the irefh afts of violence
which the Albanians might commit, re
solved to fend them from the city, after
having put their pay in a courfeof pay
payment; but he hjtd not time to com
plete this evacuation.—Scarcely had he
been inverted with the government, when
he was difgraccd like his prcdeceflbr, and
3000 Albanians who remained at Adria
nople, not relying any longer upon the
payment which Omer Pacha had promised
them, got pollertion of his son, and threat
ened the city with pillage j but were forc
ed at length to ictire.
But the removal of the Albanians can
not ensure the fafety of Adrianople. They
have announced* that thev will not re-
H
leafc Omc/s for., till they have received
their pay, and the unhappy father has
already ineffectually delivered up to them
all his treafurcs, without being able to
complete the ranforn of his son.
The country round Adrianople is now
at the racrcy of his garrison ; they re
venge themselves upon the feat tered and
defencelefi inhabitants for the difappoint
•*ment they experienced themselves in their
defigns.apon the city. They commu
nicate their spirit ot revolt to the other
Albanian troops, to whom the defence of
Romelia had been entrusted, and in the
midst of these seditious movements, the
party of tht^rebel Guirgi Pacha increases
daily. I|Hr|
This chief is only seven leagues from j
Adrianople; it isfaid that he has already
8000 Albanians wish him, who, under
pretence of arrears of pay being due to
them, have formed the plan of attacking
this city; if we do not ranforn it by a
contribution of 8000 purses. The bands
of robbers assemble again—Adrianople is
patting itfelf in a (late of defence; and
the inhabitants are resolved upon a vigo
rous defence. But if the country be ra
vaged, if the communications be cut off,
if the Portt cannot adopt efficacious mea
sures for our protection, nor rely upon the
fidelity and difeipline of the troops to
whom our defence is entrufled, it is diffi
cult for us to look to the future, without
the deepest affliction. [Monsieur,
We learn from the frontieis of Turkey,
that Adrianople is in the power of the
rebel's of Romelia, and that 20,000 Ja
niffitrics have been assembled in haste, at
Constantinople, to oppose their further
progress. It is added, that these troops
committed at Constantinople, the greatest
cxceflcs, and that every measure was in
consequence adopted to accelerate their de
parture,

Private Correspondence.
Paris , July 21,
“ The politicians here, as well as at
London, are full of the scheme of divid
ing the Turkish Empire, supposed to be
on the eve of execution. Some time ago
you were informed in a letter from Paris,
chat French troops were about to embark
for the Morea. lam assured from vari
ous quarters that 11,000 men have actu
ally filled from the ports of Italy on
this destination. A very (hort time since
5000 failed from Leghorn, and it was
not concealed there that they were going
to take possession of the Morea. People
expect soon to hear of the success of this
expedition. It is well known here lhat
the French government has left no intrigue
unemployed to gain over the court of Pe
tcrlburg to the plan, and the other great
courts of Europe rauftof course secure ad
vantages in this partition. England a
lone will derive none; and while her ri
val obtains every species of aggrandize
ment, (he will be obliged to acquicfce.
Indeed the French government is at little
pains to conceal the (lender esteem in which
the present administration of England is
held. The “ system of firmnefs and
conciliation,” of which ministers talked
so much, is treated with ridicule. The
people of England are not aware how
much the nation lofcs in the eyes of fo
reigners, how much the legitimate influ.
ence of our country is impaired by the
charaCler of imbecility universally aferib
ed to the miniftcr. lam thoroughly con
vinced that Buonaparte, if he had set his
mind on any scheme of ambition, howe
cver desperate or unprincipled, would be
as little retarded in his design by the re
manftrances of England as by those of
the Duke of Wirtemberg, or the Syndics
of the city of Hamburg. I could give
strong inltances of the little refpeCl with
which the French government treats the
refpedable Mr. A ldington.
“ It is reported, however, that these
movements of the French in the Levant
have madefomc impression on the Englith
government, and I am informed on good
authority, that ohiets haveljeen sent out
v not to evacuate Malta.
i( It is generally believed here that the
firm and names of government will un
dergo a speedy change. The articte in
the Bulletin de Pans, a paper which is
conducted it is said by Regnaud de Sr.
Jean d‘Angely, a counfcller of state, feeins
to have been intended to prepare men's
minds for if. This or any change what
ever which Buonaparte may delire, will
be effected without difficulty. Buona
parte is supposed to have taken Charle
magne for his model, and he is desirous to
combine his personal glory with the resto
ration of the empire of that Prince, a
plan that is so calculated to dazzle the peo
ple of France, and to flatter their vanity.
Ail this is very well for Buonaparte, who
with freeks and caprices that seem to be
tray a little mind, pOlfdfes a capacity of
the most unbounded compass, a true spirit
, of command, and an unparalelled vigour
and perseverance in the pursuit ot his ob
jeds; but who will hold together the
mighty empire of this modern Alexander ?
What is to be the end of ail this ? May
. every Frenchman a(k with disquietude.
Is it pnflible that an authority so person
al to the individual, a government found
ed on no solid basis, which has struck no
root, or acquired no can expire
without a convulsion, or be transferred
without a ftfuggle ? It is well for the
French that they are not much troubled
about the future* ,
