[No. 15, of Vol. IV.] MANIFESTO of the Government at Brux rllks in aniwct to the UuUi*tivn cj u-uf v/t 1/« pirt oj f ranee. PROCLAMATION, (concluded-) THESE meafnres, which France seems now to have forgotten, were quoted to the prince? ot the empire as an example proper tor them to imi tate 111 the refpe&> ve ffates, anr3 with which the defpoiic agents of the French government wouiti be fatisfied. We (hall avoi<l taking notice of all the calami ties with which France is aHli&ed, we should leave to time the disclosure of the machinations perpe tually recommended by a set of insidious writers jn their dangerous publications, were it not evi dent that, at the moment of the intended aggres sion againlt these provinces, a resolution is taken to ipread tfce poifcu of a ftduftive illusion on the pretended advantages of the French conflitution, with a view to make those pat takprs ot u who may be deluded Uy this means ; but it is neceii'ary that the people who aie confided to our govern* mem be reminded and informed that the king dom'of France groans at this time, in the name of liberty, the moil hateful ftavery, every fpe cics of vice, of the molt unhridl&l paflions, and of a species of »ns»(£by whico ts without example; that rights and property ate abolilhed ; that the holy religion which we profefs is there trodden under toot ; that altars arc profaned and polluted ; that their trur ministers are deprived ot their juil rights, ill treated, peifecuted cv n in their retreats ainoi.g foreign nations, and replaced by intruders who have no million from the hieraichy of the Church ; that the pallors of the people have even been deprived ot the diltincbve vestments by which they were known to their flocks ; that in a jmonftrous code, rights have been extolled which man cannot enjoy in foocty, and which he tacitly renounces, by being boin in civilized af fociattoii* ; that, purfuaut to those chimerical rights, attempts have been made to abolifn, ov. r turn, and confound those real rights which have been tranfmnted under the protection ot the fun damental laws of the kingdom, from generation to generation, to those venerable dalles 10 which the French nation had in every refpett, the highefl obligations ; that real property has given way to the name by seizing the eilates of those who had Wen folcmnly inverted with them by time, by the laws, and by an uninterrupted poflVflion a hundred times renewed and confirmed by the trud representatives of the nation ; and all thii under the deceitful colour ot an equality of chi merical rights, not exiftingin faff, and annihilated, if it could for a moment ertift, by that variety o! ' character, ttnpreffed on all mankind at their birth, by they share, in very unequal proportions, inoial faculties, the very diiproportion or which has always determined and will ever determine the afcendeney of genius, itrenglh, pattcnce, in dullry, and economy over the oppolite qualities, together with all the advantages which may law fully arise hom them, and which may be trauf " letted like every other species of property. Finally, it is necvflary that the faithful fubje&s .ol 1115 inajefty be intoimcd tha - , while pains are .taktp 10 <. xiol the pie tended glory and profpeiity oi the kingdom of Fiance, lately the moil flouriih iiig in Europe, there is now no commerce, nocu * culation of I'prcic or goods, no public force, no jullice, uo police, and that the pnilofophical per secutors of all those who are not of their i.ft, kpow no bounds to their exedjes, which they ex cite their people to commit, except a taticty ol crimr«, Who, a s t rth-Sy could be so blind 01 stupid a ,to p.ace the leatt confidi nee in the promises and in the iufidious afl'urances made by thole tyrants , to thofc nations whom they wtlh to subdue, thai they will refpett their property, their religion, their rights, their privileges, and their conftitunon ? Tyrants, who, fwee they have usurped the public power and force in France, have trodden under foot, with an affrontery and audacity hcuhertq un heard 01, the mo ft solemn public treaties, all rights human and divine, and every thing which is held ! m.qft sacred all over the world ; who, the moment they, thould bee me the mailers ol one province, would Icize, a* they Have done in their own tiy, the estates ol the clci'gy and nobility, and the property ot the cili7.cn-. Once mote, having never haa any inclination to meddle with the internal government of ail) neighboring Rate, we fnould not have entered on these ?ffl 6ting details, relative to objects which are foreign to the government with which weaie rntiuftrd, were it not that French writings and French enjiflaries, and even the recent adts ot the 11 w leg»flature of France have a tendency to ren der a fylb-m ol innovations whether good or bad for the French nation, certainly and decidedly ruinous to the people under our govern ment ; bccauf" it is lubvofivf of all that political organization delineated by a conftiiution which tTicv love, whtch the lovereign has engaged to maintain, and on which lhe o? Belgium has tor ag. been founded. It was our du.y to warn the people of the im minent dangeis with which they are threatened. We have laid belere them tinths which all well meaning pcrfons will acknowledge to be ftnking; «n<t ib©v "will, of courle, use their uttTioft endea vour* to roarnmn peace and public tranquility with'n tKcf? proyittces, and wo (hall thoic an tnemirs to the (late, and treat thtm as iuch, who ftia!l attempt to disturb them.

The flame lectn low to have reached this par t. O! may it worl ip the resolutions of you my country men, lo 1; audable an undertaking. Pnlymni, the father of the celebrated Epam londas, is f«iid to have spent the molt ot the lot une he could give his lon upon his education he Lquel ol his life lhews to what infinite advan age it was applied. Would this noble spirit in L ine vour bosoms, would ye devote p -rt oi im noperty which mult be their'sat your diliolution o their education, you would not only diicliaig. !ie duty of parent?, but that of men anxious to he profperitv of our country—ye would make ; nore weighty, a more inirinlically valuable dona ion to the community by such an application h;in by bequeathing 'he molt affluent, the molt ex (-(five foitunes. Your children would be th 'iops ol )our old age, an honor to themselves ant n ide of their cuunti \. Wcie men to think astht ncient Spartans formerly did, refpefting the edu ation ot youth, no conlideration could prevail oi hem to omit a inattci of such public utility.— That wife and prudent people conceiving the Spar an youth to be more immediately the childret »f their country, th;;n those of their refpettive pa ems, eitablilhv d seminaries, into which they ien :i their,yon.h —In re tlwy iei.iai:ied until the ag> 'Imaturuy, under thecire ol able millers, an< rom hence", as the inclination of cach tiiiefted aunched into the employmeni ot their country. 'J he wisdom o the Terlians in the mai.jge ncntof their children has been no less admired L'hey did nor permii parent.- to dtliow what edu ation they pl'-;<fed-on litem ; but obliged tbcm tt rnd them to Ichools bounded at the pnbiic charge, vhe<e tliey rece-vd f.-ch mil; ullion, as was deem- BJeccildiy to lit them toi the virious ernploy nt nts ot their country.

A moment's attention must convince you, that no provision you can make lor your children, will more amply answer your wi flies, more amply repay the toils and diificulties which mult be encountered by youth in the at tainment ot any, kind of knowledge, than a jjood and virtuous education. P A R 1 S, May 10 THE houfeof the Jacobins is to be fold, therefore they must seek out for another spot ou which to hold tbeir fittings—with a changeof place, it is hoped they will change their mca fnrcs—The universal cry is, the Ja cobins have ruined France — havs latlely moved that the protec tioi: of the State (ball be put into the hands of what they call a national le gion, to be conipoled of Invalids ! Thry have again revived the absurd idea of transferring the French crowil to the Honl'e of Brttufviick —a fliort time will determine at what value this precious diadem is to be elHmated. A bill has been ltnck up in all parts of the town, intituled, a petition of ten millions of the French nation ! it is however only signed by fix Jaco bins ; it recommends depriving M. De La Fa v htt e of all military com mand ; it fays, his victories would be more ruinous than onr late dil'graces { so that it appears every thing is to be wrought for Francs and Liberty by magick, or rather the c;u:fe is to work itfelf. Rochambeau is said to be 110 less than a.traitor ; that he is in an infamons league to enslave both France and glanders -, —the proceedings at Lijle'- are spoken of, as, in some cases which could be named, worthy of imitation! The subsequent observations have a re trofpeil to the Man'tfeflaiS ijfucj by the House of Auftr'ta aiid their General in the Brabant 'tne provinces, to jnJUfy the combination of that ."id certain o ther continental powers againfi the re jormedgovern;aent and anjhtiition oj France. Nothing can afford a clearer proof that governmental reformation is far behind national reformation, than the principles which the Governors gene ral in the L'ow Countries have dared to publish Kdilfeminate in their pro clamations. XVe there find aliertions [the nioft falfe, imputations the moil fianderous, and the denial of fatSs the molt notorious, 'l'liey deny, for in- Ihncc, that the emigrants have either he'en protected or tolerated in Ger many ;and that the French travellers and residents in those dominions have been infolted, abused and plundered. This audacious impudence that can cooly deny fa<fts known to all Europe, is not new in their fyllem of politics. What is molt aftonilhing is, the deli berate coolness vvitli which defpotifin pnblilhes the catechifin of its faith, and repeais the ancient creed, at the present period as it would have done 3o years ago. The sacred name of God is iauroduced to fandtion their worse than Gothic abuses of true go vernment, the perpetuity, we may fay, the eternity of the molt absurd institutions, couched under the res pedable appellation of fundamental laws, but in l'a<ft annihilating the rights of men, who have taciiiy re nounced those rights, merely for the benelit of aflbciamig together, and living under a defpotifin, that has made them its abfoiuie polieiiion and [Whole No. 357.] properly. Ami these aie the base principles which ait- preached up to Jr'.urope at nearly the dale of tlie eighteenth ceimiiy. L O N D O N, .May 8 The letters by the Flanders mail delivered yedetday confirm in evfry refpeit the 1 total defeat of the Freucti in the two actions before Touruqy and Mons. In the annals of the French hiitory, we believe their troops never met with similar disgrace, which is. heightened by the cruelty of their conduct towards their officers. Tha Romans made it a practice to admin iiter every soothing comfort to their Commanders under misfortune, —;he- refined manners of the new order of men in France make the Turks their example. [Eng/ijh Triumph.] At the af&ir of" Alois, aco French emigrants were present, but without: arms and without commissions ; and their conduct was so tiilpleaiing, that they were ordered to cjnit ftions in 24 hours. Those (liil remaining irt the Low Countries are seen every day passing through Br:i(fc.'<, pu thpir way to join the Princes, for fear of being ttruck out of the military roll. This instant orders are jfl'ued to the emigrants to <]uit Liege, Montmedy and Trevet, to prevent the eleifloiates from being attacked on their account. Ext raft oj a letter from Haerlevi, May 11. " We have received accounts from the Auftlian Netherlands', that the approach of the army of M. de la Fayette had made fomechange in the polition of the Aulhians,»ho had re tired from the polls they had taken poUeflion of; and that as M. de la Fayette advanced by bally marches towards Namur, the AnUrians drew in all !heir ourpolfs, and had fortifi ed themselves within the Citadel ; that a very serious rencontre had taken place between an A u [Irian detach ment and foine of the troops under M. de la Fayette, in the neighbour hood of Charleroy, in which it is laid each party claim the victory.
