The baron Storkham, biftu p of Caatope
.''CJl.P' ... &c, Uas arrived
lor the bejitfVr of the water. A diltm
guilhed pcrionoge in the diplomacy, who
is here for 'he tame purpofe, allures ns,
that during the courfe of rhe laft month,
the Emperor, ;nconl'eq lerce of the rtqueft
made by the Diet ot Kat'dbon, required of
the Directory to order the Frtrtch troms
aj
to withdraw from all the German Empire,
as far as the country of Liege. The Di
rectory replied, that by the treaty of peace
concluded with the Emperor, the integrity
of the German Empire had been atknow
ledeed, bur ihe country of Liege, having
been united with France, could not be cor
fidered as a part of the Emp re, and that
the Directory in agreeing 10 its integrity,
had no intention-of reftonng any country
that had been umted with the republic,
and formed into a department, utile fs the
treaty of peace with England Ihould lead
to other d Ipolitions. But the Emperor
contends, that the French Could not unite
thele countries to their lerritories until they
were formally ceded ; that in agreeing to
the integrity of the German Empire, the
country of Liege was comprehended, thm
he would recommence the war (doner than
fuiFr any other cO;iftruiion to be put
upon it.
BrtrtWemy, one f the Director, d f-
pliyed much prudence in endeavouring 10
ptrluade t is colleague that it was impofli
ble to underftand this article in any other
way thm that in which the Emperor under
ft.iod it. The difcullion on ibis article
was fo warm, that on the 27th of June
the treaty had near'y been broken oft at

Barthelcmy's oprni n, fo th.it Liege and

Bavaria 70.000 Prulfians are encamped
