It is remarkable that the day w hicli the

Buonaparte has appointed Fourcroy, the ;
celebrated chemist, a number of state, in !
the-department of finance. Probably it is
thought, that in the present scarcity of mo
ney Fouro-ay may be able to raise the fup
plios by applying- his chemical knowledge
towards the multiplication of specie ; and
that by discovering the philosopher's stone,
he may produce that gold and silver which
the econ-r, rusts cannot obtain.

" By the brilliant course of ti&ories av

the various kingdoms and states of Italy
have been delivered from the ravage* and
the tyranny ©f the French.
" The throne of Naples and our friendly

" he French expedition to Egypt has
j been checked in its career by the exertions
I of the Turkish 3n-ns, aflilted by a small de

j gallantry of :heir heroic commander.

quis cf Wcllefley, and the consummate (kill
and valour of his Majesty's Generals. Offi
cers and Troops, the British pofTeflions in
tht quarter of the globe have been benefici
ally extended, and effe&ually fecuted.
By the descent of his Majesty's forces,
and of his Ruffian allies on the Coast of Hoi- j
land, the Dutch fleet has been happily res
cued from the power of the enemy : and
although the season, peculiarly unfavour
able to military operations, produced the
riecclUty of relinquishing an enterprize so
fortunattly begun, and prevented the ac
compli/hment of his Majefty x s views, yet i
the refwh ofshat expedition has been pecu

Paris, 2 Nivofe, 8 year, Dec. 39, 1799.
Sirs,
VVe have received your letter; it does
not juttify your conduct.
Courage and virtue prefcrve States ; cow
ardice and vice destroy them.
You have violated tlielaws of hospitality. ,
—-uch an event could not have happened
among the most barbarous hordes of the de
fart. Your fellow citizens must forever re
proach you.
ihe two unfortunate men whom you
Have delivered up will die illustrious; but
their blood (hall work more evil on the
heads of their persecutors than a whole ar
my could have done.
(Signed)
BUONAP A RTE,
HUGHES BERNARB MARET,
The Secretary Stau.
