' An eftafette. arrived to-day with letters from it«-
\f, and from Trent on the iStli* whfch announces
1 that -flothingof consequence had happened vp to
th« 17th, on which day there was 3 fmil! affui» at
Monte-Baldo, nearihe Lake of GardS, which cott
. the"f rench zoo in wounded and prifonei s.
Reports upon what lias -parted hefofe Mantua,
fay, that on the 7th and Bth, tjie French ereftcd
p some batteries opposite the gate Molina (on the
road tif Vienna) and Fort St. the road
to Legnano) from which the city is fcparated by
1 a bridge of 27 arches, with three dravr-bridges.—
' The artillery of the fortrefs killed many men ; but
they succeeded in eftablifiiing some mortars and
cannon, which played the next day on the city,
and continued until the 12th, when their ammuni
tion failed them, and they seemed rather to be
making a blockade than a siege.
We learn from Verona on Ihe I jfth, that a great
number of wounded have been brought there ;
the French fuffered mod near the Molina Gate ;
" it appear* they have abandoned it, and now confine
themselves to maintain their position on the point
of St. George, where they do not fear the fellies
as trie gatrifon.
Thi? Florence Gaisette assures us, that the loss of
General Beaulieii on the 30th of May was at lead
7*ooo in killed, wounded, and prifoneri. He lolt
his Camp equipage, his baggage, and his artillery,
and retreated with only 3000 men, and on the road
to Trent. Buonaparte's accounts does not make it
so difaftrcus.
Letters from Piacenja, of th# loth, announce
the continual passing of French Troops to reinforce
General Buonaparte s 400© men went by on t'ne
7th, and 7000 were expedted from Tortftna, roak
ing probably part of Kellerman's army.
HERMANSTADT (Hungary) June 11.
As the Grand Seig?iior heard of the suc
cesses of th? French in Italy, he sent a courier to
Vienna to allure t'!ie Emperor of his pacific dis
position. The Emperor in consequence has drawn
all his troops from the frontiers of the Turkish
dominions, to fend them to the Rhine and to Italy.
The Grand Seignior is fuppafed to have pursued
this coHtiuft with the view of deceiving h : e Impe
rial Majesty ; for he is afiembling large numbers of
troops on the German frontiers, under pretext of
quelling a pretended rebellion of the Pacha of Wid
din, and the fortrefs of Belgrade never was better
furnifiied with troops and proviiions ; so that it is
really fuppSfed the Turks are only amusing the
Court of Vienna, in order that they may attack it
with the greater advantage."

to Germany. As the king's daughters were ex
pressly excepted, in that article of the trtaty with

FROM THE MINERVA.
! POLITICAL TANATICISM.*
* nIT i3 c ne ° f the strangest truths, if that can be
b Jltange which is very tomrmn, that men are never at
f a lois for good exi.afcs, to apologize and jullify all,
\ their deteltable conduct.
t When vhe British commandos in America want
cd to vent their spite and vengeanee againfl the A
mencans, for rcfiflhrg the tyranny ot their govern-
J rnent, ihey fixed on them the odious epithet of R t
- M, which, according to th»honourable fa-uage laws,
3 ol war, juftified a greater degree of ieventy to
"-els them, than towards other enemies. This
, r wat a. very convenient apology for starving Ameri
e can pufoiifis, (tabbing them, j'nfuiting them, freez
t ing t„em, and crouding them by thousands into
r holds of ffUps, to Wt«cd itif c^ion , and perish by re
- giments. r 1
i 1 his also was their excitfe for burning towns,lay
• ing waftc the 6e!os, and abusing the helpless inha
j bitanta—..old men, women and children. Com
i plaints that such treatment was contrary to the laws
e o- war, were answered with, " You are damned
- rebels—it is good enough for you 1"
, When the queen regent of the Guises in Friince
, bore a spite against their rivals, the great Conde,
- Congni, and their party, and wiflied ;o get rid of;
- Jhera, they called in the cause of God and holy re
s 'gion to jullify their villainous measures. Their
1 ccs were proteflant; and h;reU:s—to murder them !
- ' would be doing Ofid service. This roused the pal
ions of their fanatic followers—" Come, let ns a
fvenge .hetdufeof God and holv chsrch." The
*• - i
i fatal tJrd-r was tfiven, and thirty thufu-.
wete .ificilinated.
When Peter ;hc Hermit vha fcir?

the e.rofs, to rally a faiatic he d for

detestable followers of a fa I(e prophet.
yfms of murderous zeal spread over n: •
dured for ages, Thoiifands felj by ;|,
millions by famine and peilili-nce, in
of defending Jefuj Chrill.*
Now, a new 1 species of foflaticifm b -
French nit ian—a zra!to m'ahs : all the world
tiint—z real, as wild and rdiciilonsas that "tV-iel
the Hermit, to recover Jet ufaiejn wl■ of

See the following proclamation df Buo.iapsrtc oi
June 16, to the Italian*.
. " A misled multitude, whd hare no real means of
refinance, proceed to every kind of cxcels, refute to
acknowledge the republic, and menace the army
that hap triumphed over so many kings."
Observe, reader, the French genera! callsthep«o>
pis a mi/led multitude. Now, this was preaffely ;ht
language of Burguyne, in his proclamatii to thj
Americans—a deluded people. The eommtlfioncrj,
Jo««son, Edkn, wbo came quite acrol* tfte At.
lantic, to offer the Americans peace, on condition
of fubmifton and furrendety of the leading ttcu f it

duke gf Brunfwick, and prince Cobourg, in their
proclamation t<J the French people, used the fame
fort of language. Tyrants are all alike—tuts won« Ji

fully ascribe their.resistance to delujion.
But, fays B u«n apart e, these people have no rej
me mis of defence. Juii so Burgoyne told the Ame.
ricans, and I'aidfo Gage, Howe and Clin:o:i. " It
v£a» impuiftble to relist the Bri.ilh forces andmarf.
nefsito attempt it." But the Ftench geuerallhould
reflect, thav if the people*have no meifls of de
fence, there is no glory in conquering them, but a
gt-eat deal of meanneft in infultwg and opprejjing
them.
And what have these mijled people done I for, if
m'tjled, they are not crim unl, and dclerve tu pu
nilbment. Why, tliey rtjuje to acknoiuieJgc tht rf
public. A horrid crime thi6, not to like ihen'«on<
querers. J till so the Americans rervfed toridtnoi*.
leege the authority of parliament to l/rnd tk<m in all
cafet -whatfeever. They w filled the iiruilh force*
—they would not, sr.d did not itibmii. After a
good deal of trouble, we got rid of parliament, fe»
neralt and troops, and jull so the ppople of Inly
will do, with the French.
" But, fays Buonaparte, these people " iatdJcß >
the army that has triumphed over so many kiagJ."
Ah, here the proud despot comes oijt. ®tati
refill an army that bai conquered kings and princc#
and nobles J Alloni/hing inl'nlence ! The very name
of filch a brave set "f fellows ought la infpiityo#
with terror—you ought ta fall down and Motlkip
them.
" The 'insanity of tbefe people, fay* Buoiupartt,
defer ves pity." Yes, insane indeed, not to i«!
happy under French government, lhit demand)ill
the raorey, proviftuns and horses, necefary to tup
port an army of too,coo mem One wouldih::is
they might as well pay tithes to priettst.
" The Geaeral in Chief," (now fcr farwJi

This ia the gcntla.language of
