bourg, Gens. Buonaparte, Jcubert, and Andreoffy, made
their appearance, under repeated shouts of numerous fpeCt
ators, “ Long live the Long live Buonaparte 1
Long live the French Nation!”
Gen. Buonaparte being presented to the Directory by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, tbe latter delivered a speech
of confidtrable length, wherein, after having palled an in
genious eulogium on his talents, virtues, and exploits, he
obi’erved, that anew enemy was calling upon him: “ T his
enemy,” he said, “ is celebrated for his hatred against the
French, and for the inlolent tyranny he exercises over all
the nations upon earth, let the Genius of Buonaparte
make him soon expiate his hatred and t\ ranny, and dictate
to the Tyrants of the Sea a peace worthy of the glory of
the French Republic.”
At the end of this speech Gen. Buonaparte delivered to
the President the Emperor’s ratification of the treaty of
Campo Formio, and addrefied the Directors in the following
terms:
“ Citizen Directors, The French People, in order to
be free, had Kings to combat. To obtain a constitution
sot nded on reafoir they had to overcome the prejudices of
eighteen centuries. Religion, Royalifin, and the Feudal
Syflem, governed Europe’ for twenty centuries past j but
with the peace which you have concluded begins the era of
Representative Governments. You have succeeded in or
ganizing the great nation whole vast territory is circum
scribed only by thole limits which nature herfelf has tiaced.
You have done more. The two fineft countries of Europe,
once celebrated for the art*, sciences, and great men they
produced, fee the Genius of Liberty rife from the tombs
of their ancestors. 3 hey are two pedestals on which fate
is going to plaCe two powerful nations.
u 1 have the honor to deliver to you the treaty signed
at Campo Formio, and ratified by his Majesty the Emperor.
This peace secures the libecty and prosperity, and the glory
of the Republic. When the happiness of the French people
shall be firmly fettled on the basis of the best and. wil'eft
laws all Europe will be free.’\
This speech was received with the moft cnthufiaftic shouts
of applaule, and answered by the President of the Diredto
ty, w.lO concluded his harangue in the following manner:
44 Citizen General J Crown so glorious a career bv a
conquest which the great nation owes to its outraged dig
nity. Go, and, by the puniftiment you infiift on the Ca
binet of London, strike terror into all governments which
shall dare to doubt the jlbwer of a nation of freemen. Pom
pey did not-disdain to crush a nest of pirates. Greater than
the Roman General, go and chain down the gigantic pi
rates who lord it over the lias; go and punish in London
crimes which have remained unpunished but too long. Nu
merous votaries of liberty wait your arrival; you will find
no enemy but vice andwickednefs. They alone support
tne perfidious go\ eminent; strike it down, and let its down,
fall inform the world, that, it the French people are the
benefactors of Europe* they are also the avengers of the
rights of nations.” L
At the end of this speech the President and all the Mem
bers of the Directory gave him the fraternal embrace; and

ExtraSl of a letter from Plymouth , December 12.
“ At 7 o’clock this morning a llgnal for puniftiment was
made on board the Cambridge guardlhip in Hamouze, and
repeated immediately afterwards by the Marlborough, of
74 guns, at anchor in the found. Soon after —— Evans,
a corporal of marines, and John Dixon, a seaman, late
belonging to the Saturn man of war, who were tried on
the 27th of July last, and condemned for a mutiny on
ooard that ship, were brought from Hamoaze in the Llam
bridge’s lafeach, attended by an armed boat from each ship
in xhe harbor, &c. and put on board the Marlborough,
where they remained until 15 minutes past li o’clock, at
which time they were run up at the foie yard arm, where
they hung for one hour, during which time the armed boats
continued to row round the ship, and several gun boats
were cruising off and on during this awful feene. The
above men were a part of eight belonging to the Saturn,
Condemned for mutiny, three of whom were executed on
board the ship on the 2 lft of August last; but the crimes of
Evans and Dixon being of a more atrocious nature than
the others they were sentenced by the Court Martial to be
hanged in chains after execution; which sentence being
afterwards deemed derogatory to ‘the authority of a Naval
Court, it was referred to the opinion of the Twelve Judges,
who, it is undeiftood, have not sanctioned the judgment
of the Court, and which has been the cause why the fate of
tliofe unhappy men has been so long suspended.”
