An impious war threatens toembnee,

ut they wish not to apply force till af

of purfoafion and jultice.
The promoters of these troubles are
the senseless partisans of two men, who
neither know how to honor their rank
by virtue, not their misfortunes by ex
ploits. They are despised by those fo
reigners whoieJbtred they have armed,
without them with an
interest of their cause.
They arc also traitors fold to the
English, and the instruments of their
fury, or brigands who only seek in ci
vil difeord the maintenance and impuni

To such men the Government owes
<u> account of its actions, no declarations
of its principles.
But Uicte are citizens dear to the

J,t is to rejjair this injustice and these
errors that Government, founded on
the ficrevi bafi* of.Hbe;- and equality,
and a Representative system, has been j
proclaimed and acknowledged by the
i.ptioti, Jr* conihnt will; liN ih? id
le red and glory of the Chief Magiftl.tes
it has chosen, will be to heal all the
vyounds of France.—Already an assu

have emanated from them.
” Thus the disastrous law of the forced
loan, and the Bill more disastrous law of
hostages, have been revoked. The in

and to their families. Every day is and

It has been effected without any foreign

The army is fomewnat better fop
plied forfotr.e days pall, but the promi
fod remissions of money does not arrive,
though it'is announced to have set off.
Clothes are aflually wanting, and in the
meantime thecold is redoubled.—The
enemy, however, appear disposed to let
us remain tranquil ; every thing ap
pears to indicate this, since it has gai
ned its important objedl by the
of Coni. Already it appears that they
are going into cantonments in Lombar
dy. If this (hall turn out to be true,
the army, with numerous reinforce
ments, may repair much of our loss,
and render important services in the
next campaign; bat ad time ought to
be loft in reconstituting this body,
which has been broken up and exhausted
in such various ways.

with an enterprise and wisdom more
admirable even than the success, are
! entitled to the gratitude of their coun
tr?*
The following are the principal
traits which illultrated this day :
The 1 :th of the iiue, and the ijth
light, who to the moment of this attack
had refilled all suggestions to mutiny,
both by example and by hunger, were
however on the point of difbmding,
when the order to inarch was given.—
They all inarched to a man ; but they
said, We were about to depart to
“ leek for bread in France; but we must
“ prove that we will never abandon
4< our post in the moment of battle.
r< Alions I Let us conquer the enemy.
,c Afterwards, if our hardships continue,
u we will execute our plan.” They
found abundance on their return.
At the attack before Nervi, a bat
talliou of the 73d, and 300 men of the
16th light, having reached the en
trenchments of the enemy, were dread
fully cut up by cannister (hot, and were
beginning to retreat. General t)ar
naud ordered two companies of the
grenadiers of the 3d, supported by the
whole body, to advance, which they
did with intrepidity, fufFering a terri
ble fi re; but thereby gave time to the I
others to rally and return to the charge.
Os fix officers, tour were disabled. A
subaltern. named Klin, received a ball in
the calf of the leg; he got his wound
dre fled, and returned immediately to the
field of battle, without regard to his
weakness by the loss of blood and agony.
It was only by the command of the
Adjutant-General that they made him
retire.
GENOA, Dec. 6.
The bartle which took place the day
before yesterday on the ftiore of tht
Lavant continued all the day. The
Austrians had carried the heights, and
there formed entrenchments. Two fri
gates had landed about 300 Ruffians on
the road of Chiavari. The enemy
were in great force. The division oi
St. Cyr fell upon them with unexam
pled ardour and impetuofiry. The
enemy v ere beaten, and put to flight in
every quarter. The fire was warm,
and well fupportrd from break ot day
till eight; the bade took place 3 miles
hence, and with increoible obstinacy
and fury. We saw every thing that
palled from the tops of the houses and
tteeples : the thunder of the cannon and
muiketry did not cease a moment; we
were stunned and frightened by it,
General St. Cyr proceeded in perlon
to the place where the engagement was,
and did not return tiii the evening
with the moll fatisladlory intelligence.
Many Austrian prisoners were brought
n here; the Ruffians were cut in pieces.
The French had about 300 men killed
and wounded. To-day, it is said, that
the armies are again engaged, but the
enemy have retreated a great way.
We hope that the divilion of Watrin
which is to turn the enemy by the’
mountains, will entirely clear us of
them. You have no idea of the valour
oi the French troops. Withontcloaths,
breaa or pay, and inferior in numbers to
the enemy, they fight like heroes.

LETTER from the Burgnm.tfiers of the
fret and impenul etty oj Hamburgh, to
the confuts of the French Republic,
Citizens Corfuls,
Whatever may be the prejudices you
entertain against the Magiliraces ot the
city of Hamburgh, they, however, can
not avoid congratulating you on .the
late events which have taken place at
Parts. In beholding the whole nation
entitled to the fairell and molt codlolh
tory hopes, we may at ieaft be allowed
tolhare in them, and offer up our vows
for their accomplilhmcnt.
You are too enlightened and too just
not to be convinced of the fmcerity of
our fentiment* in this refneef, or to
doubt for a moment, that vve are ever
impressed with the moft fenfib'e interest
in what relates to the prosperity of the
F'rench nation.
The unfortunate event of the arrest
and delivery up of four Irilhmen, the
fatal source of a variety of misunder
standings and unjust persecutions, seem
ed to have irritated the Directory to
such a degree, that it would not even
perceive hmv irreproachrVe has been
theconduClwe have adopted, and how
charadfertfed by the moft scrupulous
regard and deference for the Govern-
ment of the Republic.
A fatal-concatenation of circuniftances
does not, it is true, permit,us fatisfadlo
rily to account for what we have
done; but fliiL,every one of those cir
cuniftances proves that it was in spite
of our efforts to the contrary ; and that
it, during a ferics of years, we have
S’ en the itrongeft proofs oi attachment
s o the Republic, it is at leafl not an un
pardonable fault in having, in a critical
and difficult Case, repoled our confidence
in its generality >n i moderation.
However, to the minds ol just & equit*
able men, facts alone should fpcak ; it is
in order that you may make them known
we take the liberty of transmitting ti*
>ou the moft exadl details upon the
fubrcl.
Among the four men, named Napper
Tandy, Blackwell, Morris, and Peters,
there are only the two former who can
merit your attention. Morris and Pe
ters were conftantiy regarded by the
Legation of the Republic as me un
doubted fubjeCts of Great-Britain.
In no adt whatever, or by any decla
ration official or not official, has it been
said that the two persons named Morris
and Peters were in the fervfoc of the
Republic, or belonged to it either in
civil or military capacities. The Mi
niftcr has not even demanded their liber
ty, either nominally or individually.
All the aiffs and minillerial notes are
confined to demanding explicitly the
liberty of the two individuals named
Napper Tandy, and Blackwell.
History offers no example of a belli
gerent power’s being aurhorifed to
proteiS, in a neutral Hate, the avowed
fubjedls of its erciny. To confer on
’ f u i a right, i t has hitherto been nccef
fary that the individual fhouid belong
to such belligerent power either in a
civil or military capacity.
li ou too just, Citizens Consuls,
and, we are allured, incapable ol impu
ting it to us as a crime that we have
delivered up two men who inconteftibly
belong to another nation, and were ab
solutely foreigners to the Republic.
It is only as to the fadls which regard
the arrest of Napper Tandy and Black
well, that we need to apply ourselves.
Allow us, in this place, to refer to
the precautions which the wifdotn of
Citizen Grouvelle, Miniftcr of Repub
lic at the Court of Copenhagen, judged
neceflary, with regard to them a pro
caution wbich, had it been adopted by
the French Legation here, would have
fpartd us all the troubles and all the evila
w hich paflion, error and prejudice, have
excited against us on their account.
That enlightened Mtnifler who doubt
ids too highly respected the Government
of Copenhagen to apprehend the lealt
violence, thought it neceflary to their
fafsty, precartuufly lituated as they
were, and to avoid the weil-founded and
legitimate demands of the British Go
vernment, and to withdraw them fretn
the search and requisition of tfie Mini
ster of that Court, to afford them an
asylum in his own house.
They arrived here, and by the moft
inconceivable species of folly, made ufs
ofa flratagem, by they rauft; have
been fen Able they were fore to expose
themselves. I hey knew, they perceived
that all French Republicans enjoyed
not only the moft perfidl faiety in our
