FOREIGN NEfVS. Received at Savannah by the ship Go.- den Rule, Capt. Boyd, in 39 daysfrom Liverpool, LONDON, September 28. Second Declaration of the Court of Vienna to the French Court— tranfmit tedfrom Vienna to Pa rii, on the jd of September , - 1805. THE Court ofVienna yields, without delay, to the request which the emperor of France has made of a categorical expla nation reipedling the motive of its preparations. The court of Vienna has no other motive than that of maintaining peace and friendfhip with France, and fecuri’ng the general tranquility of the continent. It has no other wish than that the empe ror of the FYench may entertain corresponding sentiments. The maintenance of Peace, however, between two States, does not merely consist in their not attacking each ocher, It depends not less, in reality, on the fulfillment of those treaties on which peace is founded.— That power which tranfgrefles in so efiential a point, and refu fes to attend the reclamations to which iuch a conduit gives life, is as much the aggreifor as if it openly and unjustly attacked the other party. The peace between Austria aid France was founded upon the Treaty of Lunevdle. One of the articles of that Treaty stipulated and guaranteed the independence ofthe Italian, Hel vetic, and Ba.avian republics, an** left them at liberty to choose their own governments. Any ineafures, therefore, which tenc. to compel these States to chule a government, Constitution or so- Vereign othto wife than according their to free will, or ctherwiir than is confidant with the main tenance of a real political inde pendence, is a breach of the Peace of Luneville, and it is the duty of Audi*!a to complain cl Uith o violation.. ’ PETERSBURG:— (Georgia)— -Printed by BURKE & M'DONNELL. A wish to maintain reciprocal friendfhip, to acquire confidence to lecure the public tranquility from great dangers, may, under critical and delicate circumstan ces, induce the reclaiming party to adopt precautions, to shew great moderation in complaints, and to defer the di’fcuftion of them to future negotiations.— This conduft does imply any contradi&ion of the stipulations of the treaty ; but that power which goes farther, which refu fes all explanation, w'hich avoids all mediation and employs me nances instead of the means of reconciliation, forgets as much the laws of fneirtlihip as the sa cred rights of peace. The maintenance of general tranquility requires that each Power should confine itfelf wiih in its own frontiers, and refpeft the rights and independence of other Hates, whether flrong or or weak. That tranquility is troubled, when any Power ap propriates ro herfeif a right of occupation, protection, or in fluence, when that right is nei ther founded on the laws of nati ons nor on treaties—when fire (peaks after peace of the right ofconqucftj when fhc employs force and me nances to prelcn be laws to her neighbors, and com pels them to frgn treaties of al liance, conceflior;, fubjugationy or incorporation, at her will i— when (lie, above all, in her own Journals, attacks every Sove reign, one after another, with la; guage oftenfrve to their dig nity ■, when, finally, (lie sets her fclf up as an arbitrefs to regulate the common inrerefls of nations, and wishes to exclude every other State from taking any part in the maintenance of tran quility and the balance of pow er. One she would exclude because it is too distant j ano ther because it is separated by an arm of the sea from the Con tinent i and evading an Infwer to the remonftranccs of the Pow er nearefl the danger, aflembies troops on their frontiers, and threatens them with a rupture if they place thcmfdves in a Hate ofdefence. Under the circumftanccs, it becomes neceflary for other Powers to arm, to support each other, and to join in maintaining their own, and the general secu rity. Thus the military prepa rations of the Court ofVienna are provoked by the preparati ons of France, as well as by her negleifi of all means of securing and maintaining a true peace, and future tranquility. All Europe knows the fince tity of the wish for peace which his Imperial Majesty has delay ed, and the punctuality where with he has fulfilled the obfiga ilons of the Tr eaty of Lunev ft ft; that sincerity cannot fail to bt recc-gniled in the great conces sions made in confequericp of of the injurious extenlion given f? that Treaty in Germany and* SATURDAY, December 7, 1805. in the not less great moderation, with which his imperial Maje;- ! ty has conduced hims If on the ! hrft departure of the Trench Re public from that treaty, in ref pe6t to the concerns of the other Republics. While thele chan ges were aferibed to the necessity of securing from all danger the difclolure of the plans for the reftoraiion of Monarchical Gov ernment in France, hus Majsfty made fio difficulty to recognize the Hate of things which, to wards the end of the year 1802, was established in Italy. His Majesty’s confidence in the views of the firft Consul was confirmed by the obligations which the latter owed to the Italian Republic in his chara&er of Prefldent, by his frequent and solemn aflurances, before and after his elevation to the imperial dignity, that he was far from entertaining any plans of farther aggrandisement or of en croachment on the indepen dence of the Italian States. In fine, by the pledges which he had given to the Emperor of Russia, particularly with refpedt to the indemnification of the King of Sardinia, and the gene-” ral arrangement of the affairs of 1 Italy. All their cenfiderations con curred in exciting and cherifli i ing in his Majcfty J s bosom the hope that the consolidation of the new Empire of the French would speedily bring back the poficy and proceedings of its government to a system bf de portment compatible witii che balance of power and the fafety of Europe, and sometime after, when the firfl: reports of new meditated changes in the States of Lombardy, induced the Am bassador from the Court cf Vi enna, at Paris, to demand expla nations upon this fubjedl; his Majesty, by the officialafiurance communicated in the name of the Emperor Napoleon, was confirmed 111 hi* hopes that the Italian Republic would not be united with France, and that no inovation should take place which might p ovc injurious to its po litical independence. Europe will decide whether thele promises have been fulfill ed. The Emperor has not cea sed to demand their execution as the correfpcndence evinces, which took place between the two governments, and also the official and ostensible propofi t.ons which were tranfmititd’ to the Atnballador, Count Philip Cobentzel j and though the , notes in which the Emperor Napoleon communicated his in tentions as to die Vftabiiihment of a kingdom of Italy, were ac companied with threats and mi litary preparations • though eve ry thing, at the very time, indi cated what events have lince confirmed, that die Emperor of the French was refolded to ac , cotnolifl; these innovations by • f .r/-f 1-1 ‘.!

He rested latisfied with refuting the: charges which furnifhed a pre text for thole menaces, and with exprefiing Us hope, that the principles of reparation and independence, which had been confcc.rar.vd by the treaty, ihouM be carried into complete execu tion by the definitive a:rar-:>:- merits, which the Emperor Na poleon left to depend upon ulu rior negotiation with the Conns of Sr. Peterlburg and : .m-aon, at die period ofthe re-cllabli.fh ment of Peace. These negociadons were in ladt, the only hope which re mained to his Majesty of fo ctcdlng, by conciliatory means, in maintaining peace, and ulri mately to restore repose to Eu rope, which from its northern to its southern extremity, labor ed under alarms excited by en cerpiizes, which momentarily in created, both in number and magnitude. His Mijefty the Emperor cf the French had made a pacific overture to the King of Eng land, in terms which pretended to preclude the latter from the right of taking any concern in the important inteiefts of the Continent. This riftridtiori, combined with the relations ex isting between the King of Eng land and the Court of St. Pe tersburg, induced his Britannic Majesty to have recourse to the mediation of his Majesty the Emperor cf Russia. Notwith- Handing the suspension of all official relations wuth France, his Majesty did r.oc helilate to employ his mediation, to efif patch an Ambaflador for tha-- purpose, and to make applicati on to the sovereign of France ro furnifh him with paflports. The hopes, however, to which these pacific steps gave birth speedily vanished. At the ve . ry moment when the requjfix paflports were tranfrfiitted to the Ruffian Negociator, to enable him to proceed on his journey to France, frdh attacks were made on the political existence of other independent States in Italy. From that instant the Emperor Alexander conceived that his character must have been com pro mi fed as a mediator.—. On the other hand, French ar mies were rapidly assembled in Italy, without any regard to the promises given that no military preparations should take place in that country. An encamp ment oi thirty thouland men ii tiie plain of marengo, was spee dily followed by another en* camnmcnt of forty thoufancl men on the frontiers cf the Ty rol and the pro vinces.
