- Mr. Cowan, . . -
YOU will oblige a correspondent by mlerting
the following extract of, and remarks on, an address
of the Executive of the French republic, to the
Spanish nation. 0 |
it Ancient an<? natural allies of France, dtgnihec
r " people, generous and loyal nation, &c. Sec.
'• We have not both of us the fame form of go-
. « vtnmtnti France is forever a republic, and you
» have placed in the hands of a fugU man, the au-
| <> gufi elcpofst of year latut. But it is not the refem-
<■ S/anct of conjlitutions that forms between two na-
" /inns the firmefl political tie : the truest and bell
" alliance consists in their national interest*, aid
" above all, in the honourable profeflion of the <■
" fmne principles of morals, loyalty and umverfal
' " joftfee, Sic. 1 ' cc
In the golden days of Genet and Fauchet, the
. rtverfe of this dodrfne was held up to our citizens
3 as the only found faith. It was the interest of
France to, inspire oar citizens with such a hatred a
gain 11 all monarchies, as to indispose them to endure
any. fort of conned ion or treaties with crowned
heads. It was the interest of the French to pre
vent the United States from fettling their disputes
with Great-Britain, because, as she wished us to
I make a ™ common cause" with her in the war, (he
, naturally saw a greater profped of bringing us to
join in the war, while the old dilputes with
o land werq unsettled, than in a (late of things where
'in these difference* (hould be amicably adjafled hy
treaty. Her minifteis and her minions of course
° 7 attempted to dired the nation's will, by propagat- '
o ing political sentiments and dogmas, co-operative
0 rowards views upon this country. A favourite
7 piinciple among these abfti aft philolophcrs was, that P
republic! ought not to form auy treaty of amity or e
commerce with Hogs t and that, refcmblance in forms
of government was the best basis of friendfhip, al
-4 liance and intcreourfe between nations. We now
* perceive, that as it became the interest, so it was
the avowed policy, nay, theory, of the French di-. P
re&ory t® propagate a different fentirncnu In the .
1 address, they set out with the proportion, that
4 though France is a republic, and Spain a raonar
-2 chy, in which the king i> " the aoguft depoflt of ln
* the laws," it is not a refeuiblance of conjlitutions that
forms between two nations the firmefl political tie.
Thus, it isfaid, and so it will be with us, as long
3 as we are prone to accept as proper, those fenti- P'
A ments which the Biitirtl or the French find it con- P :
yenient to inspire. Common reason will tell eveiy
'* man, that every nation has enough to do to take P'
care of itfelf: and a very small knowledge of po
io litict is fufficient to convince every man, that inter- F.
6 efi is the great objed of every government on earth. P 1
' 7 The above dodiine, as laid down by the diredory tc
of France, U a Angular demonstration, added to ""
>6 other proofs, of the danger we run in greedily em
>6 bracing foreign dogmas. Many people were, for 1
!* some time, diftradedly delighted with tlubs and
.5 fraternity } and some were almost enamoured of the
' guillotine. These, and fomc better and wiser thai u
>7 these, adopted the principle, that a republic (itauld
hold no friendfhip, no treaty with a monarchy '
All this delufivc fanaticifm, and, in many, this '
, 0 philanthropic error, will, if they proceeded from ''
[2 imitation of the French, ccafe, when the rotation of'
la every year for three years patt, has brought for. '
ward, for fre(h imitations, modes of political faith,
direftiy the reverse of such as had, like a dress, f '
~ been a little while belore in vague, and are now t!
out of fafliion. Clubs are now abolilhed in France, l '
not as here by contempt, but by law. "Refem- 1
33 blance of constitution" is not now the>beft tie be- J
tween nations in France ; and we find our good ally 1
Jq and fitter republic, drawing closer the bonds of ami
;c ty and eternal friendfhip with her good and " na- 1
57 tural «lly" the kind of Spain ; who, "king, is "
very well: but ar. the fame time,' thir;">.Ugufi: de
posit of the laws, is, by hereditary "-titfe, one of 8
J the In;ii\ abfulute misters of his fubjefts that our a
3.3 ' republican filler could have found in Eurbpe. J
j France is right in. so doing, if her interest leads
s ° her to it. All that can be inferred is, that the U- (
j nitre) States have the fame right, when their inte
rests leads them; and that Frantt, or her roiuiiler )
$o here, k t<i have no pretence to objed to the c*ercife 1
of it, so long as we so exercise it an not lo violate J
the rights of France.

35' GENERAL PICHEGRU'S' CAMPJIGNS. ]
14 . ,
10 This very interesting tfork contains a number of
curious anecdotes, a few of which we have ex- (
traftcd.
50 s 1
Ina briik engagement which took place between 1
33 ; Cotirtray and Ingeimtinßer, the 20th regiment of <
12 cavalry {offered their cannon to be takm. Gene- 1
ral Pichegru gave orders that neither this regitnent, :
■to nor any other that thou};! lose their cannon, should ■
60 be fnpplied with any till they had taken an equal
mimtxr from the enemy. Within three days after 1
thisutrarr, the 20th regiment took four pieces frem
the enemy. ;
90 In the engagemont between Moreau'sdivilion and
troops, near Lincclles and Blaton, fifty ]
ef the enemy's hyfe made their way into out park 1
of artillery. Some B c 'gian recruits, who were left <
to guard the park, threw down their arms and fled.
Our cannoneers snatched up their rmilken, and plarv I
• l 7 itJ lUemUlues the am«u»iitloii waggons, fi
red upon the troo'pers, and killed several, and ton
•pelled th<f remainder to take to flight. This pre
sence of mind saved the artillery of that division on
*■(9 this occasion. ,
During the siege of Ypres, a (hell fell on the :
knapsack of a soldier of the second battalion of La
ct. Conezf, which cut the (traps of his knapsack, and
'»r. a pot of batter that he had placed above his
nec<JTafiej. This volunteer, who was a native of
Liinoufin, was not at all affected by the danger,
but, looking eagerly at the fragments, cried in his
provincial dialed, " Ah I grand Di, mourt toupide

leading fiom Jloufficlaer to Hooglcden. TWe ie.
giment of Latojir, which is one of the fined rai
ment of dragoons in the Emperor's service, ad»a n .
ced along the road, covered with their cloaks. The
chief of this defni brigade, not feeing the uniform
of the Auftrtans, thought it wa» a detachment of
our cavaljjjr ; *ud when his njes' were preparing to
fire, he eried, " Stay, (lay, I think tbey belong , 9
11s." The commanding officer of the dragoons an.
fwe red, 'Yes, we are Trench. But what do you
do in that dangerous position ? You will have the
whole army of the enemy upon yon. Take n r
advice and change your position.' Ai he finiM
these words, he discovered his uniform. Our offi
inilantly gave orders for his men to fire, and i
sharp engagement ensued. An entire (quadron n f
the enemy were '.eft on the field. The road *3.
covered with the carcaflcs of men and horses. The*
carnage wai (hocking.
Through the whole of this campaign our bifan
try flood the shock of the cavalry with perfect ft ca *
dinefs. There was no aharge in which ihey were
broken or thrown into confufion. This is the in
credible steadiness of pur foot soldiers, which haa
made our armies invincible. Its conduit will f orm
a period in the history of military tranfaftions.
The moment the infantry fuffer tbeicJelves'tobt
broken by the horse, they expose thetnfelves to be
«ut to pieces But if they have the courage to
main firm, they feldorn or ever fail of gaining the
advantage. TJie cavalry of the enemy have often
beeh fcen to charge our foot,on the full gallop. The
firfl rank of infantry difcharjred their mulkets and
presented their bayonets. The second and third
kept up a constant fire, and the horses were com
pelled to retire with loss. If our battalions had fuf
fered themselves to be broken, the cavalry would
have made a terrible carnage, and we could have
fuccceded in no enterprise.
Gafpard Thieric, colonel of the 9th regiment of
Hll (Triis, was reconnoitring with his regiment; »aiL^
placing feme Lro»p««~ In-u STftTJow way,
he propofsd to draw the eaemy into it, by provok
ing them to a&ion, and afterwards flyinjr before
them. He ordered his hussars to insult the enemy
in every possible manner. They accordingly advan
ced pretty near the Auflrians, calling ihem the
(laves of despots, and giving them such other names.
The abuse was returned by the enemy, who re
proach* J our troops with being compelled to take
paper food, with killing their king, and me'ting
down their church-bells. Tbey, mean while, fnf.
pcfled the snare, and could Bot be tempted to move.
One of our hussars, at length, losing all patieoce,
galloped up and killed an Austrian trooper with a
pistol (hot; but the enemy, instead of being drawn
to seek revenge for this insult, cried out Bravo !

A hussar of the 9*h regiment, whose name was
Petre, was sent to a village itj'-Brabant, to protect
| the inhabitants from marauders. A party of these
I entered the place, and fcarchinjr for concealed ef«
fefts, dug up a small box, in which all the inhabt
, tants of the village had deposited their money. Pe
! tre arrived at the very moment when they were car
fi i"ying °ff their booty, and drawing hii f»bre, by his
intrepidity and firmnefs, he induced the plundered
to take to,-flight. He called together the inhabi
' tants, who opened the box in hi« presence. Itcon
' tained ninety thousand livres, and Petre was desired
to take what he pleased from it. Petre thanked
' them, and only added " I have done my duty, and
you owe me nothing, but 1 would advise you to
' hide your money better in future."
It rarely happened that the emigrants fuffeted '
themselves to be taken alive, especially in any great
numbers. The brigade of Jourdau, however, took
S Putty-fix belonging to the Legion of Rohan, the
r greater pertot whom were convi&ed of emigration
and condemned to be (hot. Among them was a
young man from the Department of the Pas-de-Ca
lais, who declared lie had been diiven to quit his
' counijf on tie grea;elt extremity, and to escape
from the fury of Lebon. He heard his fentencfi
with of an innocent man ; and hav
' ing begged pcrmifli™ Jo w.ite to his brother who
C was serving among the Emigrants, he expressed
