IN the pi esent circumstances of Europe, I
feel the necessity of appearing in the midst of
you, and of making known to .you my senti
ments. " -V ; . ; ' ,- ' ;'-
1 am about to quit my capital to put myself
at the head of the army, to carry a speedy
succour lo my allies and to defend the dear
est interests vf my people. ' .
The wishes of the eternal enemies of the
continent are accomplished ; war haybegun
in the heart of Germany. Austria and Rus
sia have united with England ; and our ge
neration is drawn anew into all the calamities
of war. A few days ago, I still hoped that
peace would not Lc disturbed ; menaces and
outrages found me iriipassible ; but the Aus
trian army has passed the Inc, Munich is in
vaded', the Elector of Bavaria is driven out of
his capital ; til my hopes nre vanished.
" It rs at this instant that the ickedoess jof
the enemies of the continent has unveiled it
self They were yet apprehensive of the
manifestation of my profound Iqvc of peace;
they were apprehensive lest Austria, at the
sight of the abyss which they had dug under
her footstep, should return to sentiment of
i'ustice and moderation ; they have hurried
ier into war. , I am grieved, at the blood it
will cost Europe ; tjut the French'h'ams will
obtain anew lustre from it. '
Senators, when at your desire at the voice
of the whole French people, I set the imperial
.Crown upon my head, I received from you,
from every citaen, the engagement lo main
tarn it pure and unsullied. My people hve
given me in evejry circumstance proof of
their coimdence and their love. 1 hey will fly
under the colours of the Emperor and of km
t army which in a few day swill have passed the
frontiers.
Magistrates, Soldiers, Citizens all wish to
maintain the country free from the influence
of England, who, if she prevailed, would,
grant us only a peace surrounded with igno
miny and shame, and the principal conditions
of which would be the burning ol our fleets,"
the fillmg up orjr pons, and the annihilation
of our industry.
All the promises I have raada to the French
people, I have kept. The French people, in
their turn, have taken no engagement with me
that they have not surpassed. In this circum
stance, so important for their glor and mine,
they will continue to merit that name of
Great People with which 1 saluted thew. m

claics, however, that he had no pow
ers to treat with the Bafhaw of Tripoli ;
and he contradi'Ss the invidious and ridicu
lous tale, which was rooked up by one of
the tciicrai prints ot Bolton ; that Col.
Lear had been prompted to conclude a
rath and premature treaty, through a jet
h'tis apprehenfion Ictl the Baflaw fliould
appeal to the fuperior gencrofity of Gi
neral Eaton, and led he Ihould run away
with all the honor cl the negnciation.
Col. Lear is faid to have concluded the
treaty from a fear left the Ealhaw fhould
execute his threats of pmtii g to death the
American captives, if luch was rea'ly
his inducement, the conduct of Col. Lear
certainly nceJs no other juHification.
The lots of three hundred Americans is
not furely to be put into competition with
a ranfom of fiitv thou fand dollars and
even the rijk and danger of fuck a cataftro
fbe ought not to have been encountered

the iiegociarion until the gallant Eaton
had rai.fomed our rrifoncri with the

nish privateer Floiide Mays, Lissard, carried
into the west end of Cuba and libelled.
" Schr. Nelson, Thompson, of Newbern,
N. C. from Jamaica for Charleston, with
rum and Si 3,000, cash, taken by theSpanish.
privateer Vengeance, Antonio Hie, master,,
sent Into Maritl and plundered of his mo-,
ney ; vessel and cargo libelled.
. achr. Letitu, irankhn, of and from Phi
ladelphia for. New-Orleans, taken by the
privateer Vengeance and sent into Havanna.
M The brig Sally, Barry, arrived at Havan
na the day capt. Sammis sailed, last .from
Laguira, had been plundered off the west
end of Cuba by two privateers, one under
Frenclt and the other under Spanish Colours.
' " The abuses on the commerce of the ti
nned States in this quarter, are increasing
from the increased number of privateers, and
the idaathey have that in consequence of the
variance which they euppose exists between
the government of the United States and the
court of Spain, they will be' justified in ma
king captures,
. Certificates of property are a necessary
requisite to every bill of lading, and sea let
tered, vessels are viewed with great suspi
cion by the court of admiralty in this island. t
The treaty between the United States and '
Papain ia not taken into consideration, except
in vessels when it will militate against the
captured. The laws are such as to occasion ,
great detention and delay in prize causes, and
the disposition of 'the government, und the
judge of Admiralty is such, and the intrigues
in every department are so frequent and in
tricate that an American stands a poor chance
for justice; and if he eventually obtains the
liberation of his vessel, when he comes to
take possession of her he finds her plundered,
the. necessary consequence of delay, which
is too frequently caused fur the express pur
pose of giving the privateers an opportunity
of doing it.
" From the long habit they have been in
of depredating upon ' American Commerce
with impunity they absolutely consider It
free plunder, and unless sontt measures are
taken by our government adequate to the evil
(which are to make the people of this island
feel the misery they would be exposed to
without our commerce) we expect their abu
ses win increase rather thaa diminish.
