| FRANCE. ; 
General BUONAPARTE, after having 
arranged the affairs of Italy, conformable 
to the treaty of Udima, has repaired to 
Radftadt, to prefide at the congrefs to be 
held there, for the purpofe of concluding 
a treaty with the princes of the empire. 
The day before he left Milan (Nov. 14) 
the addreffed the army, and informed them, 
that in feparating himfelf from them, he 
could’ only be confoled by the hope. of 
foon finding himfelf again among them, 
ftrugeling againft new dangers. ‘ Sol- 
diers,” faid he, ‘* when you {peak of the 
princes whom you have fubdued—of the 
people who owe to you. their liberty—of 
the battles you have fought in two cam- 
aigns—add—in two more campaigns; we 
foall bave performed fill greater achieve- 
ments.” 
‘Before his departure, he alfo addreffed 
the provifional governments of the Cif- 
alpine and the Ligurian Republics. 
Confidering the violence of the mea- 
fures adopted by the Triumyirate, onthe 
4th of September, the Republic has en-- 
joyed a ftate of greater tranquillity than 
might have been expeéted. The almott 
general acquiefcence of the people in thete 
meafures, can hardly be attributed to ter- 
yor, for though the aflumption of power 
may refemble that of Robefpierre, it has 
been fwayed by a milder arm, and en- 
forced without the effufien of human 
blood. The definitive treaty of peace be- 
tween the Republic and the Emperor, has 
been ratified by the two contracting par- 
ties, and public affairs appear'to be car- 
ried on with energy. A declaration has 
been publifhed in fome German Journais, 
by the Count d’ ANTRAIGUES, relative to 
the papers faid to be found in his port- 
folio, in which he afferts, that there was 
nothing in them which indicated. any 
thing like a confpiracy, though the Tri- 
umvirate had founded the crime of Gene- 
ra! PicHEGRU upon what appeared in 
them. In that declaration, however, the 
Count makes no difavowal of the principal 
paper in queftion; he does not even refer 
to it directly or indireétly. 
Another declaration has alfo been pub- 
lifhed by Faucne Bore, printer to the 
King of Pruffia, at Neufchatel, faid to be
