Draguignon , May 9.
Temporary fucceffcs, due to
numbers rather than courage,
have opened to the enemy the
road to our frontiers. They
menace thofc of the department.
If they wifh to force th m. they
(hall find their tombs ; of this
they have feveral times had fatal
experience; but it might be
poffible tnat malevolence may
profit by our momentary rever
ies to excite trouble. You are
magiftrates of the people ; you
ought to know what are your du
ties and what your refponfibih
ty. It is in difficult moments
that our faculties ought’ to be
enlarged, ar-d that our devotion
ought to bcunhmiited ; w muff
fet the example of lactihccs.
Prepare your fellow citizens to
defend themfelves with the ener
gy of a free people ; fhouhi our
facred territory be proLned, Jet
every man be a foldh r; let eve
ry thing be ufed for arms,,
ftiould we be in want of them.
Our mountains, our pohnon,
place us in a (late to defend
omfelves with our (ingle means ;
we (hould be invincible, for i. is
our freedom* that we defend.
At your voice let that love of
the country which produced
our fuff r ucceffes, awake in ad
haarts ; let every one rile, and
be re,idy to obey that terrible
cry which I am about to caufc
to be heard—To arms !

and to re-conquer beyond the
Alps, that brilliant theatre of
French valor. Confcripts! the
hour of battle is come; your
hearts bum to equal thole old
(oldie»s, fo many tunes conquer

to lupport privations, and to
brace the fatigues infeparable
from war. Never (o.get that
