Pafwan Oglu against the Porte. I add not ;
without the most sensible griff, that the J
gr ateft partofths People of Europe seem
to behold the expiring sighs of Helvetic Li- '
perty, wiih the fameftupid Stare, that the
limplc Inhabitants of a Village regard, at a
public (how, the fictitious fpedacla of a i
dwarf combatting a Giant—l nevertheless <
except from this censure all Classes of the i
English nation, in whom this aggrefllon j 1
has caused such an indignation against the ; I
French, and a ftntiment of sympathy so ge- I t
neral and so strong in favc iir of the unfoi tu- j I
that had their rffiftanee bee" pro- I
longed a few days, a Subscription truly na- '
tional would have been opened to have ena- 1
bled'tl.enri to futtairi so unequal a contest. '
I doubt not, Sir, that the news of their ca- <
Mfirophehas p oduce !in America Gr.iilar '
impreflions.— I well kn-w that even before 1
this lali dreadful event, your Citizens, who '
at firft offered to Heaven their fincereft j 1
prayers that France might take her rank a- J
tnong free nations, have not been able to re- i '
frain from beholding as the mod abominable | 1
tyranny that which the Revolutionllls of j '
the day dare to call by the sacred name of 1
Liberty. ,The only confolatipn I experience '
in the preftnt moment, is, in thinking on
theihree people,who refill with so muchhor- 1
ror the empoisoned doCtrines of the French ; '
they are in truth the only three free people
in the Uv:ivrrfe ; the little Cantons of Swit- i
Zetland, the people of Great Britain, and t
those of theUhited States of America. How i
I delight to repose myftlf on this i ea. Ho- t
mage and glory to recal liberty ! It behoves i
ail those whq ari her true votaries to tear f
the malk from timfe base impostors, who
have dared to feixe on her Itandards, to '
blaspheme her name, and who would have
made her cdious if ever true liberty could '
have been rendered so jl
I believe I forgot to mention to you that 1
before the attack of the Pays deVaud, Men- f
gaud the new French Ambassador had exerted
his utmflft efforts to divide the members of 1
the Diet, and to break the bond of Helvetic c
Union.
* It fuccecded only in regard to Bade, and t
there merely so far as to caule an insurreCtion t
of a part hf the people, who leized on the ar- ]■
fenal on the rßth'of February, at the very a
moment when it was important to march to c
the relief of Berne, Fribourg, and Soleure, i;
the revolutionids. of Bade, who at the fame f,
time poflefftd themselves of the government, „
recalled their representatives frem the Diet t;
and.peifun<lfrl themielves, that by I'o signal tl
a fen-ice they had insured their claim to the si
everlading gratitude of France. But Heave n
you to ju'dge of thieir furprlle, wlien having t(
reclaimed a certain quantity of Brafc* that tl
they pe fie fled in the Ai-fcual of.-Berne, and J
which they prelumed the French had taken C
by miltakc, Mengaud answered theni'on. the v
l?.th March, " That he begged leave to con- t
gratukte tlicni upon tbe attention which they v
paid to every thing' tint related to tlieir own tl
interest, without feeling the lead anxiety "
about the carts and folicitudcs of tlie French «
Republic, aud without confiderin ;■ that his n
troops had m f,re neeel than they of tiie arti- y
ties reclaijnsd, for the tonqueli of freedom and r<
the maintenance of the Helvetic Republic." r
This was, not all ; for a few days after, h
this fame ?elei>gaud brought fcr.vard another fci
affair that had bee a long Gnce fettled, relat- ti
ing t» two citizens of Balle, againd whom g
France pretended llie had realons of complaint h
and who had fuffered a verdict with whkh a
Mr. liarthlemy had declared himftlf l'atisfied. tl
His fuecejpp affected to conGder this verdift ai
asan.aCtof deriGon,demandeda new hearing si
of the cause, and added " that he could not di
- conceal that he ihould confideras their accom- n
plices every person who should dare to raise tl
a voice in their favor." It was to this mef- si
sage that the new National Assembly of Bade tl
answered by laconically demanding if they gi
were to underdand by these words the perfoui w
of the Witnesses and of the Lawyers ? ra
It i., evident that a sentiment of indigna- cc
tion and rage forced from the Badois this re- m
ply, and I Ihould not be adonilhed if the re- w
morse yhich they have experienced from fee- ge
ing their confederation betrayed, dionldcar- fe
ry them veryTpon todifplay the fird signal of lc
repeiltance and vengeance. Sooner or later th
the insurrection mud burst out; never wHI ve
j ranee be able to restrain the general despair ty
r i the Swiss, but l>v a numerous army. lo
they are much too eiAiufted to pay such an Ei
army, and the country cannot furnilh its sub- R,
liUence. Whenever this army becomes en- tn
fee4)led, or removes to a didance, the Swiss itl
wjU know how to regain their independence • th
ahhough they are for thegreateft part -.nn- D
qui (lied, divided, plundered and disarmed, it or
itl out of the power of France to subjugate G,
thf.n ; and if llie does not succeed. in de- co
ftroyi.-ig their morals and national charadter th
liberty will again spring from her alhei.

, dated tlvc 10th of March, wherein he rejects c '
as a signal calumny, the supposition of a pro
. jest to conquer any part of Switzerland. No! j t
fays the General, the French Republic -wifha j t
to appropriate to tyrfelf nothing which belongs 1
, to the Helvetic Confederacy.
t A denial so formal calined the mod fufpi- 1
t cious Genevans,and they mutually reproach- |,j
i ed themselves, for having given way to such \ _
: unjust suspicions of the views of the Pirec- . L
t tory towards them, wlien Defpyrtes, the
: j French resident at Geneva delired a conlitlen

. I highest in the public opinion, to whose con
i GdeVation he submitted the lignal advantages , £
they would derive from being incorporated I
. with the Great Nation. Observe, the fame
turn of phrase is preserved which the agents
, of the Directory adapted three months before
• with the American Miaifters, that France did '
. not male the demand, but thought it would be
, more delicate that the offer should came from J
; j them. Delportes added that if they had tiie ; ,

. j ticipate his wilhes, in expreifitig it as their f
. J voluntary and spontaneous delire, lie wasau
f j tlioriled to grant them the mod advantageous '
r conditions, among others, exemption from *
all military requilitions during the pa I'.at 1
war, the preservation of their warlliip, of '
their academy, of their hospitals, and of j
their property individual and national, Sec.
The citizens he addressed hinifelf to might j
indeed have demanded, upon what- ground j
the French Republic was likely to hj,va a t
• more sacred regard for this lecond treaty,) t
. than for the promises wliicli the had. formerly r
i made, never to make any attempts on their c
■ political independence ; promises to whfcli t
i die had given thegreated folemnityaud. pub- i
, licifcy by fufpendiug the dandard of Geneva r
: by the fide of that of the United States of 1
| America. But they contented themselves t
with requiring from him an explanation of p
the nature of those dangers to which a rffu- t
, sal would expol'e them. " I will not diffem- t
ble, replied he, that Geneva would)>e treated r
as a slate againfl which France has heavy b
causes of complaint."
Their condernation was. at she highodex- f<
treme ; but the danger of the monient united
the citizens of all parties; not one voice was P
heard to comply with the define of France ; (
and the aflembly of the people appointed a f 1
commission composed of all tlie magistrates n
indiscriminately, to deliberate on njeafures '*
for saving the Republic. Unanimous in the c
refolutipn of defending the independence <4'
their country, and above all never to make a
the faerifice of it voluntarily, these commif- w
Goners resolved to accede to all the other de- t'
mands excepting that one : such was thfc 1
tenor ot a note in which they anniui.cul to
the resident of France, toward; t'l-ru Wvf v
March, "the difpolition of" t'lje people of t!
Geneva to enter into every arrn!: ir
which might be agreeable to the Great.
tion, with one fmgle referee ; a reserve 'cf f
which they alone could property appreciate
the value, tiiat of their political independence. r '
" The resident, enraged at this note, which 11
was, ill effeA, a redoubled thb 71
measures ofjrigotir for the blockad.- ofGeneva, I
which, Ghee the occupation, of Savoy, is fur- *1
r<mnd'-d on every fide by the iVench territo- r;
ry. He went farther—he informed the in- «
habitatys that it they did not chufe to ne'jo- f (
ciate with good grace-with him, they might al
treat with the victorious army, then at their lr
gates." As they had declared to him before- »
hand that they would not have recourie to i
any physical refinance against open force, but '1
that they would prefer the peril of such an t{
attempt to the dilgrace Of erasing themselves G
from the number of sovereign and indepen- ni
dent dates, this menace neither intimidated P 1
nor disunited them. It is truly remarkable, »l
that at this period, when it was not to lie ti
filppofed that the resentments arising from fe
their political diflentions were quite extui- P 1
gui (lied, and under tV distress of a blockade,
which ruined the lower clafles of people by
railing the price of provisions, the fear of be
coming Frenchmen, and the ardour to re
main Genevans, was such that not a voice
was railed, not a whisper was heard, to fug
ged a wifli of union with France. For some
few days the Genevans had a gleam of hope ;
letters were received from Paris which stated,
that the conduct of the Directory was' uni
verfaily censured (even by the Jacobin par
ty) that every one there blamed this fcanda- t) '
lous abuse of power against the firft state of .
Europe, which had acknowledged the French W
Republic, the firft with whom it had made a
treaty of peace, the firft who revolutionized C °
ttfclf to pleale France They added-that
the lalt remains of lhame would restrain the '
lJirectory, that all the memb.rs d.d not agree Z'
on the expediency of this attempt, and that
Geneva would yet be saved if she could fut
ceed without a rupture to reach- the end of n °

the evening that they permitted, or rather
that they ordered the coinmiffioners to alTem-
| ble. This body, no longTr hefitafed to de
, i cree, that it was time to treat of the union of /
Geneva with France. And the Relideiu!
wrote tlit 'i.- x* day to Paris that Geneva was
j in the height of joy -and hippinefs and that tie
e Genevan branch was worthy to figure in the
French fasces.
There is on; anecdote which is worthy of
I being preferv. d, and ought to serve as itef- I
: foil to the jacobins of all countries. The rl
! fijft ail of authority of the French general
on entering Geneva, was immediately to re- «
-pair % to two Genevan jacobins and "
■| to dilTolve theli* locictics. You v/ill com- "
prehvnd the cause, fir, when I mention that "
'. thele revolutionists who had n.ot ceal'ed for ~
fix years to exult in the principles, the vie- •<
torics, and the magnanimity of .the great
t nation fbewetf themielves to be the most dei- "
i perate in th ir resistance, when thev law that "
1 their own connfry wus doomed to be the vk
. Tim of thefc principies ; and as the jacobins
poir-fs every where an eminent degree ofen
' erijy they ould have been disposed to redeem
1 their pad d-'lulions and their crimes by fly
• ing to arms and facrificing themselves in 9 '
1 refiflancc which could have been of 110 avail.
I The refideijt of France, app re hen five of the
' tonl'equences of their despair, offered to the '
f party oppressed in 17.94., to avenge them of
- the innocent blood wjiich had been filed jit
- that epoch. But they rejected this offer on
i recolleaing that no blood had been Ihed but
-1 by the exjirefs orders of the Reiident Sou
lavie the predecelfor oi him who now propo- y<
. fed to them to demand an account of it. in
i Whatever may be the cauie, the members "
i sis these jacobin clubs are hitherto the only y(
Genevans who have experienced the leaftper- g!
ional vexation on the part of the French ar- i "
my. Their consternation is that of rage, 'la
while that of the other citizens is gloomy, in
concentrated and silent.
I have jufi received the treaty of union ex
acted at the point of the French bayonet, and
which.fchg councils of Paris will doubtlcfs ra- -J
tify at this moment, as an aft perfeftly free.'
The following is the firft article : ™
Thg French Republic accepts the wish ;
pi die ci tizens of the republic of Geneva for ~
their union with the French people."
" The French Government, considering
that the undernamed I. Mallet du Pan, F.
P'lyernois and I. A. Duroveray have pub
licly written and intrigued againlt the French
republic., declares that they never can be ad
mitted to the honor of .becoming French citi.
zens. 1 n.-ed not tell you, Sir, how rmich' p

this brilliant reprobation in the death war
rant of my .unhappy .country- lam inform

for leveral days the conclufidn of the treaty,
and that it was not without difficulty, that F
iny fellow citizens obtained that it Humid be
mferted not in their name > but-in that of
France, and as one of her wilhes. Alas!
they ha-ve, however, but too nrtich reason
to reproach me for having negociated and VV
ligned a treaty in 1792, which disarmed Ge
neva and Switzerland, and which was so
promptly violated by the employers of Gene r- T,

treaty was in itfelf, I shall never pardon mv
