From the MonITEUB.
Speech of Mr, Regnaud,
France is invulnerable in ail parts of her
imnisnfe territory ; (he has nothing to fear
from her advanced polls either in the wind
ward islands, or in the indies.
England is every where vulnerable, and
without apprpaching near her, we can in
flict upon her deep wounds, the conference
of which would be cncrcaflng distress, or
violent rcnvulficn.
Our fleets at lireft, Toulon, and Roche,
foit are armed and in readiness to pais the
ocean ; our flotillas are already to accompany
t!icf< fierce children of war, whoknow noob
ftaelesj inasmuch as they have overcome what
ever had aftonithed the moil intrepid.
We continue to have on our coast soldiers
who dwell in/ camps instead of cavern?,
become as intrepid Teamen as they were brave
soldiers.
While during this time the English popu
lace are in arms, dtfturbed, fatigued,
weakened and difeouraged.
Our rcfources and revenues arc equal to
our expences, and we have no need of any
other extraordinary rcfource than what is
drawn from our territorial riches.
While in England the intcuft pair! to
the money lenders, absorbs every possible
means of completeing their levy en mr£e,
which weakens the ration without defend
ing it.
While this fltuauou is prolonged, and
(
't *
’ -f £V«t. XIX. No, 9 ?a
the Englifb cabinet look for the advantage*
which arc to rcfiilt from it, danger and
shame are equally their Jot.
Need I fpcak of those fccret expeditions,
which have far these three month* impofvd •
thc'crejl of the people ol England,
and winch" Have, terminated in ridiculous
and fruirlcfs attempts. .
Have they embarked fame troops, (0
strengthen the garrison at G J braltar, de
ttroyed by epidemics ? Or do thev wilh to
canduft fume iccruits to the Indies ? Or
foms reinforcements to Ceylon, where the
English have loft a great deal ? Or are they
rather dt/pofed to fend feme thousands of
men to Jamaica, to repair the ravages
made by the yellow fever to fortify the
garrisons in the Eug’.ilh colonies, threat
ened by 3 or 40*0 men, which can be sent
egamftthem from Martinique {Sc Gaodaleupe.
When these ordinary meafurcs fhali have
been arranged, the gov eminent is then left
to think on the formidable armaments which
are threatned by France.
Forfome time and with great mystery,
they have announced the of vtf-.
fds loatlen with Hones to fill up oar ports,
and tire ihips baldly launched our
flotillas. *
Ami in Ibort, what other expedition «,a
the English attempt? Da they desire de
barking on our wellern coast, to try how
the national guards, united to our garrisons
in ti ne of peace,, would receive them on
their arrival «n<J prevent their return,
Lords of the ocean for two years pad,
thtir fleets have wearied the ocean and the
Mediterranean j their foldicrs have not
dared to repose in any place; prefect al
every coast, they have only call out robbers*
Instead of these vain and delusive expedi
tions, fappofe, gentlemen, the 2,8*000 me*
at Bz-cflj rhe 5,000 at kocuefort, ihc 12,000
at Toulort, and the 25,000 in ths Tcxel,
(bnald proceed, in one party, again ft Ire
land, avid Jamaica, or the Indies; 01 Tap,
pose that 200,000 men, which the vcflels
of our flaulhs c-Juld carry, -Thould pass over
in one night, threaten and arrive at the op
pbfue bank, where their impatient courage
has for a long time wished toflgnalise irfdf ;
fuppifewhir is flill more fim -le and cafy,
that 53 frigates, and 60 vessels of other
defcrlpcioas, which have been htiilf, armed
and equipped in the Apace of two years,
(bould fail in small squadrons, Icour the fca«,
dry up the fource# of proTperity and life,
by the aid of which England can alone
maintain her exiftencc; were hut a fault
part of those fuppoficions realized, we
(h)iild every where fee these terrible dan
gers uncountcrpoifcd against England.
It was then with this impression of th*
honor of bis people and his own ftrengtli,
that the emperor found a motive far once
more speaking the language of peace.
It is with such vast plans, the probability
of whose fucccfs amounts almost to certainty,
since that which olf-rcd no danger, w: s
productive of real fucccfs: it was with
this vast and extensive view which embraces
ths whole extent of his resources, and ail
the poflhle means of unfolding them, that
his ;n;jj -fly has taken a step difgraccful to
am* nation governed by any other chief,
difgracefui to any leader having the com
mand of any other people.
Bur can the confidents in the ifiue of the
war with England be shaken by any uncer
tainty with refpeft to the continental re
lations of France I
If this had been the case, gentlemen,
what could his majesty have hoped from
a step taken under fach circumstances. The
hiftory of hr, life at lefts that nobody knew
better than him, .how to take advantage
of a favorable opportunity,
If the continental war had aflamed a
threatening afpeft, Napoleon well knew that
he had no other pa/t to ad tha a the terrible,
though ncceflary one, of throwing a fide
the fcabb ird of his sword always vkiorioas,
and make his new lance of Achilles shine in
the eyes of the world, inftcad of debating
the just pride of his fortune by propositions,
which, dictated by fear and preferred
through weakness, would have promtfed only
hamiliatibftin their consequences.
Happily, under this afpecl of our foreign
relations on rke continent two years have
produced coflioHng and honorable ameliora
