at* Bayonne, when a grand council* *
was to be held on the lubjecl of the
Confederation of the Rnine. Sx
or feVen hundred Frenchmen had
been kilted in the suburbs of Mad

were under arms in Valencia—the
fame in Cit a lonia-—armed at their ‘

spirit of universal revolt from the
French domination. Every lubjtd
