But the bridle of the law must not remain uiolated by the voice of rtni'en. It is above all to you, simple men, whom the machinations of the iW disposed have too 0 te " astray, to render you the wnftru ments to their views which are fubverlive o the order ellablilhed by the conftitut »•!) and the laws. 1 lie perfidious men ! they feign to com p am ot you, and they wife only to irritate you; they unteafinglv retrace to you, the tni c lets of the revolution ; hut they never e you, that by your oppvlition, they were «e principal authors of them. ill i pea king to you of your interests, they ream i.t ol their own, and they with only o re-occupy their antient usurpations. And what ! would it be for the re-eftab of r;V ot th? nimcs ' of the car-ties, and y ' that thcy wifl) to arm 'ranchman agair.fl Frenchman ? Good and honefl iiil-.abiisi.nt of the coh;i try, how could y..a r.,yrct fuclt afyllcm, or call it to tuittd without indignation. f Citizens of all tha llateS, inhabitants of the cities and of the fields, could you have forgotten that your political regeneration was touching and jfubti.me to you, from the firft moments of the revolution ? J No, fucs impressions cannot be effaced, and you would not now refurae those chains which you broke with indignation. You will not l'ubmit yourselves to them with impunity, you who, at every epoch have ser ved the revolution : vengeance would await you. And you too, lethargic"men who fay the revolution without erithufiiftn but without hatred, do you believe that your fur,pic indif ference would not bo-cast up as a reproach to you .by your insolent vanquilhers. Your interest above'all, is to ward off from the French foil tVis torrent of miseries, w hich would inundate it, if certain criminal hopes could be realized. T,et civil difienlions cease, then, that we ni 'V have no other cares lel't but those of re pulling the external i-,e. Citizens, in the nudft of a terrible war, which, perhaps, cannot much longer exist, and at the close ofadifaftrous adm.niftration, you fuffer, without cioufet ; your represen tatives groan at it, and they vyill labor with out relaxation ta prevent the renewal of the evils which have accompanied many epochs of the revolution. They will know how, in concert with the regenerated dire&6ry, to gather, when it 'hall present ttfi If, that peace' Worthy of the trench people and of its allies. Rut that peace, the object of your pri.y ers and oi ours, that p-.-ace which mult re cal to tlit French territory abundanc* and profperny, do not go to comin.t it, or to throw it «t a«iiitanctf, by civil troubles ; and it these yet remain 'f.iei ilktS for you to ke, let them be tor your country, and nut intut tinjj one an -tiler's throats; Ah what J the French blood would again flow lor a cause other tl'an that of liberty; and theie are men infinlible enqugh to hope tor happiiK-ls in the conilqucnecs of a civil war!

And you who were the blind instruments in aifailinating chi republicons, your artisans and cuitiva'.oii whom they reckon amoug the aflaflin bands, return to your woikiiig tools and your ploufchs ; lay down those arms wliicTi yoA wJuld turn against your country: ycur tranquil retreats call joy back, and your Solus ol fuiililk-nce mult not be converted into field, pt' xarnage. ex-nobles, parents'of emi grants, and piogei.itor3 of itbels, you who have so great an influence upon the, mi series of your country ; you who might pre vent crnui, but who toui l i to it io often, bear n mind that you ire tbiJ clay re fpou * • ble for the: tranquility of the ii.t r\o?: 1«» • bour then to maintain it, lor it is at th;s price alone that yc'u will one day be admii. ted into the great family with ali lij? rights of its other children, Let the departments i: 4cfttjl Ijy Cbouan liitrie return to order, it' they Willi to re turn to their common rights ; let tSofe de partments, as yet Grangers in civil troubles, continue to merit an honourable exception ; let internal a word, be iblidly re eflabliflied, and we*lhall soon relume with out, the attituee of viftoiy. [This address difplay® the situation of the republic in'deep sombre : the profpedt held out of the veturn of peace, which eon liitutei iu mod prominent topic, and the llriking cqu tefy of tfie government iowardj that unhappy body of men the ex nobility and gentry, a thing entirely novel, present to us ttriking indications of the weak flatu of the present authority. Tbe war, the perfeeution of the loyaliftt, and moll other leading measures of the republicans, have evidently become unpopular ; yet it is by these means alone that the republican form has fubfifttd or can subsist in France ; ho stility to those measures, therefore is truly enough afligned by the revolutionists to Royalifm, and their bending in any mea fare to the imprefiions ol the popular cla mours, is a proof that those clamours have fwolu to a degree which no longer admits of their being contemned. After a careful perusal of the fiies of se veral Paris papers, ( which come .down four days later than had beeh received in Lon don, at the date of our last accounts from thence) we have been able to extra ft little information of leading importance. They abound, however, in accounts of the inter nal distresses of therepublic; these are bare ly meritiontd ill outline, all the different editors appearing studiously to avoid detail. It appears that popular difturbancts exilt to a greater or less extent in almoil every department : in some they call out with great fury for the execution of " the Tri umvirs," Talleyrand, Scherer, <tc. in others, religion is made the preuxt of infurre&ion, and io otheis they openly display the white banner.
