Thk PRINCE DI COBOURG. TheMirefchal Prisce of Saxe Cobourg, Gene ral and Commander in Chief of the armies of his Majesty the Emperor, and of the Em- pire, to the French. The Declaration which I made from my head quarters at Mons, dated the sth of April 1793 is a public testimony of my personal fentimencs to reftsre as soon as poflible,peace and tranquil lity to Europe. In it I manifeited in a sincere and open manner, my particular <4efire that the French nation might have a solid and durable government, founded on the unihaken basis of julticcand humanity, which might ensure peace to Europe, and happiness to France. Now that the result of this declaration is so opposite to the effe<sU it ought to have produced and which proves but too plainlythat the senti ments which have dilated it have been misun derstood, it only remains for me to revoke it entirely, and to declare formally, that the llate of war which fubfifls between the court of Vi enna and the combined powers and France, is from this moment unhappily renewed. I find myfelf therefore forced, by the predo minating influence of the circumrtancesj which the most guilty meil persist in dire&ing to the overthrow and deftru<slion of their country, to annul entirely my former declaration, and to make known that a state of war so unfortunate, being renewed, I have given the neceflary or ders for commencing it, in concert with the al lied powers, with all the energy and vigor of which victorious armies are capable. The celTation of the armistice is the firfl hof tileftepthat the unfortunate combination of e vents has forced me to make. There will there fore only subsist, of my former declaration, the inviolable engagement, which I again renew with pleasure, that the most exact discipline will be observed and maintained by my army upon the French territory, and that every breach thereof willbepunifhed with the utmost rigor. Thefincerity and loyalty which at all times have been the principle of my anions, oblige me to give to this new address to the French nation all the publicity of which it is susceptible, to leave no doubt of the consequences thafnayre fultJxain ' Given at the head quarters at Mons, the 9th of April, 1793. ; The PRINCE de CO BO U KG. j United States.

In private lite, a liian Jofes his virtue when he loses his reputation. Suspicion, however unjust, yet if it be gene ral and continued, is a corrupter of the virtue that is fuTpefted. Let the government do what it may,, £U»:der fallows it like its iba dow. How long it is poilible for a free go vernment thus to be tampered with, we sue in a fair way to Jearn by the event. It must be co;ifefled in candor and justice towards the scribblers and mifchief-makers of the day, that thole per/ons are the greatest enemies of law, who have the greatest cause to be enemies—such persons may fay, they are armed in their own defence, the Jaw hav ing struck the firft blow. Men oppreifed with debts, gamblers who venture all at a throw, men of principles unfit to obtain property or power in orderly quiet times, find it easier and more pleasant to attempt to change the times than their own conduct and principles. Vet some of this description are the noisiest clamorers for a fuper;or purity in the admi uiftration of public affairs. Nothing that is done is good enough to suit them. They are afraid of bad principles creeping into the ad ministration of the government. Why lhould not those most diflruft human nature, who, upon looking into own hearts and lives, find the very worst evidence agaii ft it.
