_the 6th, the allied army paffed the Danis 
Mountain, which the fnow, that had fallen 
during the preceding week, had rendered 
dangerous; and fome baggage and horfes 
were loft on the march. This army foon 
after affembled at Coire, and. after two 
days’ repofe, it was the intention of the

From the field of war, we are next to 
direct our attention to the civic contelts of © 
the. French legiflators. On the roth of 
Oétober, the meflage of the Dire€tory, an- 
nouncing the different victories obtained 
by the armies being read, Gaudin extolled 
the valour of the republican troops ; and 
expreffed his ardent wifhes that ther tri- 
umphs would be crowned with /peedy peace. 
Boulay de la Meurthe, on the fame occa- 
fion obferved, that ** The councils muft 
fuffer no petty pafhions to difunite them ; 
every thing muft yield to the national 
grandeur, and to the importance and fa- 
crednels of their funétions.—That they 
muft, by ufing nobly the victories they 
had obtained, and repelling the impudent 
and the perfidious counfels of an unbri- 
dled ambition, and of a fanaticifm falfely 
revolutionary, elevate themfelves to the 
great and jult ideas of a diplomacy truly 
republican, and confequently founded on 
the rights of men, on the reciprocal inde- 
pendence of nations, on the real force, the 
character, the true glory, and the happi- 
nefs of the French people.—That, they 
muft then, by the nature and condition of 
a treaty of peace, and by their vigilant fi- 
delity in obferving it, become to all other 
people a model of wifdom, as they had 
been of courage and felf- devotion.” 
Echaflerieux, the elder, joined in the cele- 
bration of the gallant exploits of the ar- 
mies, and coincided in the pacific fenti- 
ments expreiied by the preceding fpeakers. 
<¢ Lut us (he exclaimed) be juft and mag- 
nanimous towards all; mark out the end 
of our war and our victories, and ftop 
there’; leaving to the force of opinion to 
roll round the earth the revolutionary car.

which are eternally faithful ;—thofe of 
We fhall then

painful reflections.”’ 
It was decreed, that the armies of Hel-

that a feaft fhould be held throughout the 
republic in commemoration of the great 
actions which marked the end of the cam- 
paign; and that the Direftory fhovild 
make known to the council the different 
traits of heroifm, that the national rewards 
appointed by law might be carefully dif 
tributed. 
The Executive Directory fent a meffage 
to the Council of Five Hundred, on the 
13th of Ottober, on the finances, which 
fiated the amount of the receipts of the 
7th year of the Republic, at 475,000,000 
livres.—The expences of the year had 
been taken at 726,000,000; and the Di- 
rectory were of opinion, that they would 
not fail fhort of the eftimate, The deficit 
however, they ftated to be 240 inftead of 
250,000,000, and deducting from thence 
110,000,000, as the arrear of receipts, the 
actual deficit was 130,000,000 (about 
5,400,000]. fterling). The Diregtory mot 
earneftly prayed the Councils to take mea- 
fures for filling up this void without delay, 
as they would wilh to prevent the annihi- 
lation of public credit. This meflage was 
referred to a commiffion of feven members, 
with inftrudctions to make a f{peedy report. 
The Executive DireCiory, in the month 
of Otober, iffued an arréte, in confequence 
of the government of Hamburg having, 
contrary to the laws of nations, delivered 
up Napper Tanpy and his unfortunate 
affociates to the Enghith. The preamble 
to the arréte ftates, that the imprifonment 
in the dungeons of Hamburg of Citizens 
Napper ‘Tandy and Blackwell, naturalized 
Frenchmen,and attached to the ferviceof the 
republic, as likewife the imprifonment of 
Citizens Morris and Corbell, and their de- 
liverance into the hands of theagents of Eng- 
land,is an attack upon the rights of nations, 
and a cfime againft humanity, a flagrant 
offence againft the French Republic.— 
Therefore the Dire€tory, among other ar- 
ticles, ordered that the confular and diplo- 
matic agents who refided at the govern- 
ment of Hamburg, fhould forthwith leave 
that city and territory.—That a general 
embargo fhould be laid upon all fhips and 
veflels carrying Hamburg colours, and 
that. were then in the ports of the republic. 
We now proceed to give an outline of a 
change, which took place in the rulers of 
the French government, on the 9th of No- 
vember, which day will form another in- 
terefting epoch on the annals of the re- 
public.
