FLORENCE, Oblober 7.
THE fu'.render of Rome and Civita Vecchia took
place in consequence of a convention concluded be
tween Gamier, general of division, commanding T he k rench,
Italian, and other troops, and commodrre 1 rowbridge,
commanding the Englilh squadron whicli formed the block
ade of Civita Vecchia. In consequence oi this aft an
Englilh detachment has been debarked, and has taken pol
fefiion of this latter place. The city of Rome was put
under the protection of gen. Bourcard, commander ol the
Neapolitan troops. The French garrison has retired with
honors of war, and repaired to Civita Vecchia, from
whence it is to embark for France.
Paris, Oblober 24.
The municipality of the Far to their fellow citizens,
18 th Vendtmiaire, Oblober 10.
We haflen to gratify your impatience by transmitting
to you the details given to us by gen. Buonaparte, during
the visit which we have just paid him, together with thole
which we have collefted from pcrl’ons who accompanied
him.
In the beginning of Thcrmidor a large squadron of An
glo Turco Ruffian (hips and transports appeared before
Aboukir, with 22,000 troops to be disembarked. They
eflcfted a landing at Aboukir, and the fortrefs was taken.
Buonaparte affeinbled his army on the 7th Thcrmidor,
and gave battle to the Anglo Turco Ruffians; iß,oco of
them were either killed or drowned; the remaining 4000
took refuge in the port of Aboukir, which was surrounded
by cur army, and compelled to lurrender on the 14th.
The captain pacha and several Englilh were among the
prisoners, who informed the hero of Italy, the conqueror
of Egypt, that the crnperoiV’of Ruffin and of Austria had
renewed their declaration of war against the republic; and
that barbarians, emerging from the north, had invaded the
Italian slates. The foul of our hero was so deeply touched
at thefc melancholy tidings that lie immediately took the
refolntion of returning to Europe. Fie communicated his
cefign only to gen. Berthier, chief of the ftaff. lie ordered
vice admiral Gcnteaume to arm the Marion and Carriere
frigates, and also the Avil’o la Revanche and l’lndepend
ance, without making any communication of his projeft,
which lie did not attempt to execute till after he had se
cured the possession of Upper and Lower Egvpt, and the
pav of the army for -a year.
This being done, Buonaparte addrefted a sealed letter
to all tliofe whom lie intended to take with him, with in
ftruftions not to open it but on a certain day, at a given
hour, on the seashore.
The 4th Fruftidor was the dav appointed. All tliofe
who had received the letter attended at the appointed place,
and opened the letter, in which they found an order for their
immediate embarkation. They do not lose a moment, but
leave their baggage in their lodgings, and their horles on
the fliore. Having arrived on board the ftiips prepared for
the voyage, their names were called over. Two strangers
were found among them and relanded. They then weightd
anchor and let fail, but contrary winds did not permit them
to get out from Aboukir till the 7th Fruftidor.
Previous to his departure gen. Buonaparte left a letter
addressed to gen. Kleber, with orders that it lhould not be
opened for 24 hours after his departure. The letter con
tained his appointment to the chief command of the army
of all Egypt during his abi'ence, and an order for conferring
on gen. DelTaix the command of Upper Egvpt.
The mod diftinguiftied persons in the suite of gen. Buona
parte are, gen. Berthier, chief of the ftaff; Larne and Mu
rat, generals of division; the general of brigade, Marmon;
the general of artillery, Andreoffi; the chief of brigade,
Beffieres, who commanded his guides; the three philolb
phers, Bertholet, Monge, and Arnaud; a great number
of officers, fcveral Mamelukes, a few Arabs, and his guides.
On leaving the anchorage of Aboukir our travellers could
del cry but one frigate, and they arrived on the 9th Ven
demiaire at Ajaccio, without having seen any enemy’s (hip.
Contrary winds detained them there till the 13th; our hero
did not pal’s that time unemployed; lie found his native
iiland divided, but he loon reconciled all parties, and won
them unalterably over to the holy caul’e which we defend.
After this triumph lie i’tt out on the 16th. Fie was but
ten leagues eliftant from Toulon, when, in the evening, lie
perceived an Englilh squadron of eight fail. Should they
fail back to Corsica, or attempt to make the fliore, was the
question propoied :n council. Buonaparte loon decided it:
“ Be not alarmed,” said he, “ Fortune will not abandon
me; let us make direst for the coast.” Signals were given
accordingly, and the frigates veered immediately eastward.
The Aviib, that could not fee the signals, remained be
hind in the midst of the enemy’s fleet. But the genius of
Buonaparte ftili befriended him; every fail was' let, and
he was soon out of danger.
1 he other three ftiips arrived at 9 in the morning at St.
Ranheau; about noon they were permitted to enter; and
at 2 Buonaparte, his companions and suite, arrived at
Frtjus, auiidft an immense concourse of people, who liaft
rned to 1 eho.d him, from the neighboring communes.
Transports cf republican joy ami entluifiafm broke out on
every fide, r.r.d nothing could be heard but cries of Vive la
republipie! Vive Buonaparte!
On the 17th, at 6in the evening, this immortal general
left Frcjus for Paris, in company with gen. Berthier and
the three philo.oohe rs.
On ti e t Bth gen. I.afne, who walks with two cratches,
and gen. Murat, whole neck was penetrated by a ball, let
out with an the crews at 8 o’clock in the morning for
Toulon, from whence thc-y are to proceed to Paris. °
Be not alarmfd, ye fathers and mothers, ye wives and
I'dtcrs, for the lhfety of your liufbands, jour children,
vnur brothers, who compose the brave army of Egypt. Be
no: alarm®!; these worthy ohjefts of your affection, of
your tenderness, of ymir attachrticnt, and your esteem,
i’uffer no other privation than of tidings from you. Their
general has given us the moft fatisfaftory account of them,
and if they have not written to you themselves they were
only prevented from doing so by the precipitation and fe
crel’y which necelTarily attended the departure of Buona
parte.
Be therefore under no alarm; the brave army of Egypt
will enjoy their triumphs; we fliall triumph ourselves in
every point, and every where an according voice will unite
with us in crying, Vive la republique! Vive Buonaparte!
Nantes, Oblober 28. Yesterday, at 4in the evening,
a body of Cliouans, to the number of 6 or 700 men, ap
peared at Oudon, and took polleffion of the inhabitants
houses.
The following night they attacked the post of Aigre
feuille, computed of 30 men. The sentinel cried, ®ui
vive? They answered, Royalifs . He fired upon them,
but the Chcuans fell upon and knocked him down with the
butt ends of their muskets; they then entered the corps
dc garde and killed a few soldiers. These who escaped
reported the business to the municipality of Nantes.
October 29. This day, between 4 and sin the morn
ing, a numerous troop cf Chouans penetrated the city of
Nantes by different places, crying, Vive ie rci & la re
ligion. ImVnediately the getter ale was beat; the citizens
eagerly ran to arms; the alarm guns were fired, and seve
ral partial engagements took place in different quarters.
A number of persons were killed or wounded. Among
the killed on the part of the Chouans is one of their chiefs.
We vigoroullv repulsed them. They quitted the city al
most as soon as tlit-y had entered it. They were purified
towards Rennes.
We have just heard that the corps dc garde of la f/lace
du Bouffiay lias been disarmed by the Cliouans, who threw
open the prifor.s and let the prilcners escape.
Report cf citizen Daverfi, forming part of the rein
forcement sent to the pof of Refines, relative to the
attack upon Nantes.
He declares that, arriving at the corps de garde, at the
distance of two gun (hots from the barrier, and having
found the officer, tl e one belonging to the reinforcement
demanded why a sentinel had not been placed at the bar
rier; he answered that it was not his duty; upon which 12
men of the reinforcement paraded all night before the bar
rier in order to- guard it.
At a quarter before 4 a number of men appeared at the
barrier. vive? was exclaimed; they answered, Co
lonne mobile . (a moveable column.) Then the officer
went out with two men to reconnoitre; the two unfortun
ate men were killed and the officer taken. A difeharge of
at k-nft 200 muskets was fired at the remainder of the
guard, which was answered; but finding the impossibility
of defending themselves they retired by la rue Noire, and
the Chouans, as well cavalry as infantry, entered by the
main road.

before ns face the evident proof, as he deemed it, of his
