AROUSE, AMERICANS! AROUSE!
UNION, at the present moment, among the Federal
ists, is of vail importance* Every engine which Jacobinic
lury could poflibly invent has been set at work. The very
Ghosts of Marat and Robkrspierre are at this moment ~

cal. Fortunate for us if our dwellings arc not (hortly
wrapped in flames, our wives and our little ones either pol
luted or maflacred, theexercife of our holy religion prohi
bited, and every species of deftrudtion hurled around 11s.
At the very moment when our countrymen are combating
with the perfidious French, and bleeding at every pore,
there are AMERICAN as well as other French cmiflaries
placed in the very bosom of our country. The torch is now
ready to be lighted. The explosion may poflibly be near;
but we swear by the LOVE OF INDEPENDENCE that
nothing (hall survive its wreck. Moderation has been and
(hall be our motto, but no longer than we can with fafety
adopt it. After that comes VENGEANCE.

LETTERS intercepted by the FrendrGovernmcm.r
Prince Pignutclli to the Chevalier Prioca, his
tan Majejly's Minifler. fl
Naples, O&ober ?*
PROVIDENCE is at last wearied with favoring criineß
and the cause of Kings fliall no longer be blighted'jfi
the ru e hand of capricious Fortune. The battle of AbtrS
kir is the signal which ought to awaken the ehergv of E®
rope, and the Englrfh Nation enjoys a glory to vvhVufoJ
otlier powers might have aspired, had not particular i J
rests prevailed over the general interefl: of Europe; but wsß
maj how assert, that Sir Horatio Nelson has diflfipated tha B
charm which seemed to have fuhjugated every country: tva I
while I write this letter I fancy I hear a pleasing mro 9 ■
circulating over every point of Europe, and annountXß
its several dates, that with prudence and
each contribute to the downfal of that Regicide Govu,B
ment which is the Scourge of Kings, and the OpprefToretl
‘Nations. I
I fliall repeat to von what Sir Horatio Nelson Lid to tit I
King, my master, when his Majesty deigned to goonboail
the F.nglifli Admiral: “ Sire, a Revolutionary Cover:.*
ment is a torrent swelled with audacity and crimes, hr.
When a dyke is opposed to its inundations its fhgnar.t vat.
ers dry up in the immense meadows which it had overflow
ed; it soon retires to its antient bed, and is then no mere
than the feeble flream it appeared at firft.” Yes! you may
be assured that the French Nation has fmifhed its clii'valrie
career, and that the brilliant dc-flru&ion of its marine mull
neceilarily produce the decay of its continental power.
r I he English have set an example which ail Governments
ought to follow; they have struck the clay feet of the Co
lufius, and it is ftiaken.
You may assure his Sardinian Majesty that the ir.o!h
greeable news has just reached us from Berlin; I
however, inform you that this Court accedes to the Coali
! tion; French influence still reigns there, and the indecision
of the Cabinet of Berlin appears to communicate itfdfto
that of Vienna; but great events will perhaps determine
the conduft of these two powers, and those decisive event*
are preparing by the vast genius of Prince Repnin. I need
not obieire to you, that behind Prince Repnin we may
perceive they powerful Empire of Russia, the Ottoman
Porte, and ail the strength of Great Britain.
Tlie Ruffian AmbalTador has written to the Chevalier B
Afton, that he has made no impression on the wind of I
Frederick, and that he even renounces the projeft of de B
taching the Court of Vienna from its fyfiem of timid tern* fl
porization; but that if Naples declares herfelf, and that if E
you’in Piedmont continue to dig, in the fiience of a pru- B
dent circumlpedfion, the grave of the French, he will then B
anl'wer for a great Revolution in the .fyfiem of Europe, fl
and that, when once the campaign commences, it will not fl
terminate without producing fome very unexpected changes. H
Upon the receipt of these dispatches a Council was held ■
in the Queen’s Library. The Chevalier Addon, with that ■
logical eloquence which even his secret enemies admire, ■
developed all the ctrcumllances which seem to alture fuo ■
cefs tc the Coalition. He clemonflrated the value of the ■
Triple Alliance of the North, in protecting us by a ■
of power which might enable us to hazard effenfive opfik* I
tions with the moil perfect security. Fire but one gun, ■
said he frequently, and the Congress at Rafladt is inftandv ft
clifTolved; the Imperial and German armies are in motion. I
If Prussia remain neutral, at leaflleVffier pay dearly for I
neutrality with France. The of the R** I
publicans in Lombardy, Ecclefiaftical States, and Pi* J
edmont, this Minister likewise observed, were futh as to 1
induce him to rely with the greatest confidence on the fuc* 1
cefs of the campaign. 1
I am convinced that I ffiall fulfil the intentions of tw
King, my mailer, in afTuring you, that the deliverance**
Italy depends at this moment upon the interefl which hi*
Sardinian Majefly may be inclined to take in thecaufeo
his friends. Our country mav once more become t
grave of the French Nation, if the Piedmontefe, {fill brave
e-ven under the weight of the fetters with which that Rc? 1 ’
cide People has loaded them, conspire, in the filtnce o
their servitude, the death of their tyrants. ‘ _
We know lie re that the Members of his Sardinian I
jefly’s Council, who are circumfpedf even to timidity,
volt with horror at the idea of perjury and assassination,
if the Treaty of Alliance which binds his Majesty
French Government was a political tie which ought to
relpedled. Was not that treaty tudlated by the opprt
power of the Conqueror? In concluding it did you r
yield to the hard neceflity of the moll unfortunate c>rc
fiances? Such treaties are injuries which ought t 0
venged with the fiifl favorable opportunity that P re e •
itfelf. What! while your King is a prisoner in “
tal, and furrour.ded with bayonets, can the partial
of .the soldiers of your tyrants be called aflaffination- ,
the- veak, then, no legitimate refcurce agamft °??‘ c
