I have the honour of acquainting your grace,

Brigadier General] Alava, the officer, appoint

preparations were immediately made for disman

an island that gnarded the mouth of the harbour,
and embarking the ordnance. By the morning of

ROTALISTS OF LA VENDEE.
ADDRESS
Of the Chiefs of the Army of La Vendee to his
B r itannic Majesty, brought to England by
one ofCharette's Aids-de-Camp.
§IRE,
The Rbyalifts: of La Vendee are about to lay
their feiitiftirtits, their wishes, and their hopes, at
the feet of the greatest and most generous of sove
reigns. For these three years palt, we have not
ceaied to combat for the re-eftablifiiment of the
throne and of the altar. Whilst France, either the
vidtim or the accomplice of the tyrants, by which
{he is governed,threatens, since that period, as well
with her principles as her'arms, all the (tates lea
gued against her, a handful of Frenchmen, faith-
Jful to their Gud aud their king, brave all dangers,
lurmount all obstacles, in order to restore happiness
to their country and tranquility to Europe.
Sometimes conquered, and oftner conquerors, our
defeats as well as our victories, have cpft the ar
mies of the Convention more than 300,000 men ;
but unfortunately, such an important diversion, in
favor of the combined power*, has hithert# served
only to exhaust our means, and to weaken us, iri
itead of procuring us the assistance whi.h we liad a
right to expedt, as well from found policy, as from
the promises of those who were allies of the cause
which we defend. At last we learn that the white
flag is floating on the coast of Britanny ; the Roy
alists of La Vendee have resumed the arms which
they had for a moment been induced to lay down,
in conf/quence of a formal promifethat efforts should
be speedily made for the re-establishment of Roy
alty.
Not only deceived in our expeditions, but threat
ened in the persons of our chiefs, feme of whom
have been basely massacred, others arreftetj, in vi
olation of treaties, our battalions are again assem
bled, and feveial vidtories have already signalized
the new Campaign which we have recently opened.
It is thus, then Sire, with those arms in our hands
which are destined to combat the enemies of kings,
that we present ourselves before your majesty, and
that vie folieit you te unite your armies to ours, to
concur in the re-establishment of our lawful sove
reign on the throne of his ancestors. Long, too
long, has the blood of England and France been
flowing; the two nations feel the necessity of a just
J and honorable peace; but fucK a peace can only
be procured from a monarchy. Did an opportuni
ty more precious to your majefty J »heart ever ocesr ?
Did oneeverexift moreglorioMS than that which now
presents itfelf,for concurring in the re-eftablilhment
of a King upon the throne of France ?
Such Sire,are oufwi/hes,-fnch alfoare ourhopes;
and your Royal heart is too magnanimous to fnffer
us to be disappointed in our expeditions. Rely
■ ing on the generous protection of your arms, we
viil continue to combat your enemies and our own.
Acquiring an accession of strength from assistance
thus powerful, our soldiers will become, if possible,
more powerful than ever. Until the arrival of that
happy epoch, we will not cease to address our vows
to Heaven for the preservation of your Majesty's
life, and for the welfare and prosperity of your fub
je£U. With thrfe sentiments, joined to thofe-of
the most profound refpeft, we beseech your majes
ty to believe us ever.
Sire, your most obedient and most humble
Servants,

ExtraS of a letter from a citizen of Pennfyfoania, to 1
his friend in Majfmhufttlu
" It will give pleafuie to all friends to the peace
and prosperity of our country to k.now that at the
late eledtion in Philadelphia, and in the state gene- j
rally, good men were ele&ed who are friends, to the 1
federal government, and true republicans. 1
" I do not feci apprehenfivc of danger from the
evil designs of those who aim to deceive the people
by their great but falls profeffions ef patriotism, J
for I think, the rovders .of our federal rnlerß now ap- 1
j pear so maeh like thr tils jacobins in France, who 1
have cauied Jb.muth misery in that country that ■
our citizens view them as dangerous; this being '
tine cafe, our good rulers will receive the firmed i
fuppott of the people. Hie abulive and ftandalotis |

well known to the "people, will lerve to ilrengthcn
the government and to ihcre*fe the public 'abhor
rence of such unprincipled men, whose only aim is !
to serve themselves.
" You «ill be convinced when Fauchet's letter '
shall be made public (il what we can learn about it
is true) that its falling into the hands of our go
vernment is a circumUanee that forms one of the
brightest links in that chain of Providential inter
ferences, to which the people of the United States
are indebted for their existence, as a free, sovereign,
independent Republic."

I PARIS, September 11.
The Primary Aflerablies of Versailles, as well as
1 those of the diftridts of that department, have ac
-1 cepted the constitution, but rejedled the decree of
: the sth Frudtidor. They are in no hurry to com
' municate this intelligence to the Convention,
(though it ought to have been made known some
1 time ago) on account of the proximity of the
1 place.
• All the walls of the houses have, for fame days
■ past, been covered with bills of different colours,
white, red, and yellow. Here flicks an appeal to
• the of 1789, which no patriot of' 1795
1 will give himfelf the trouble to read ; there," advice '
■ to the republican troops, which the republican
■ troops will be furc not to follow, milefs they wish
1 to pass for Janizaries or Scirri. in another place,
. the committee of publ'c fafety flatters hungry falks
s wi»h ths h»pes ®f a speedy meal ; and further on,
, the departmental administration kindly invites the
1 Sovereign to repair to the Primary Assemblies,
> to sign the Minute of his approaching regene
- ration.
> The following curious passage is extracted fiom
1 a pamphlet lately pablifhed at Paris, entitled,
- A rapid Jhetch to jlx the opinion of the people to the
' Primary AJfctnbUes :
" The Orleans fadlion, led by the metaphysician
? Syeyet, and the Chancellor Latouche, who is now
' at Paris, again rears its head : It is supported by
a numerous party, composed of certain members
of the Convention, and of all those who h::ve pur
chased national estates, who expedl to find a protedl
or ia the head of the house of Orleans, having
thro' kia father, dipped his hands in the blood of
Louis 16th, would necessarily luffer all those crimes
t* which he weuld be indebted for the tin one, to
pas* unpunilhed."
Ssptember 13.
The fedlions of this city continue to difplsy the
fame energy in opposing the decree of the yth
Frudtidor, for the re-eledtion of two thirds of the
Convention.
Paris is now a great constituted authority, be
fore which even the Convention seems ocraiionally
to humble itfelf. It must be confeffed it is with
great regret that it acuftoms itfelf sometimes to
drink the hitter cup of truth. Whatever its repug
nance may be, the fedtions appear to be inexorable ;
a great majority persevere in declaring strenuously
against the decree of re-ele&ian. This obflinacy is
founded on considerations by no means flattering to
the deputies.
Several of the Primary Assemblies of tin's Com
mune have sent deputies to the camp, who have
been received by the troops with open arms. A
report was in circulation yesterday morning, that
the deputies from the ledon of Thcrmes had been
arretted. Fortunately for the peace pj ?r • r ;xl\
and for that of the Convention, {he h ■ ><;• 1 , •>•-■}
to be falfe.
" Ever united in sentiment," said the citizens
of the arsenal to their armed brethren, " vre (hall
ever purftte the fame line-os condudl : Are we not
children of the fame country i We eitablifh laws ;
you defend them : You repulse oar enemies ; we
deliberate, and repulse our tyrants.'!
The soldiers answered this address with demon
llrations of joy and fraternity ; they expressly de-
clared that they would neirher use powder uor ball
against the Parisians. A great uumber of the sec
tions have declared themselves permanent, among
whom are the fe&ions of Le Pelletier, the Place
i Vendome, Suburb of the North, the Champs
Elyfees, &c. &c.
Several of the factions ha»e, this day, appointed
commiffioncrs to go arid fraternize with the soldiers A
in^ he camp near Paris.
Leharpe has been chosen for this ptirpofe by the
fetlion of Butte des-Meulins.
We are aflured, that a divifjon of the army has t
written to the Convention, that it did not mean by
its acceptance, to fan&ion the dccree of the sth
fru&idor. It acknowledges, that if tlie armies, i
as composed of Frenchmen, are entitled to vote on
the CMiitraft, according to which they are to live ;
on their return into the bofosi of their country,
they cannot, as composed of sol j: —= ♦•lr- - -
