SOME

STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS,

FRANCE.

In July 1799.

COME important changes have taken place among the Rulers of the French Republic fince our last publication.

The firt fymptoms of hoftility to the Directory appeared in the Sittings of the Council of Five Hundred, on the Fifth of June, when a meffage was fent, defiring information upon the fituation of the Republic, and expreffing fome furprise at the filence which the Directory had hitherto obferved. An addrefs to the people was at the fame time drawn up, ftating the dangers and difficulties to which the Republie was expofed, declaring that the refponfibility of the Executive Agents fhould be enforced; and that while the Council were determined on their part not to tranfgrefs the limits prefcribed by the Conftitution, they were refolved at the fame time that the Directory fhould not exceed theirs. To this meffage of the Council of Five Hundred, the Directory returned no answer. On the 16th, the United Committees moved, that another meffage fhould be fent, defiring an anfwer to the preceding one; and that, till it fhould be received, the fitting fhould be permanent. This was refolved upon, ard immediately communicated to the Council of Ancients, who alfo voted their fitting permanent. At feven in the even. ing the Directory fent a meffage, in which they ftated, that they were engaged in drawing up an anfwer, and that the documents fhould be furnished on the next day. But the Councils, upon the obfervation of a member that fome movement against the national reprefentation was expected, refused to adjourn. They then proceeded to annul the nomination of Treilhard to the Directory, as contrary to the 136th Article of the Conftitution. Gohier was appointed in his ftead. the next day a communication was made by the Directory, in answer to the meffage from the Council of Five Hundred on the Fifth of June. This communication was fhort and unfatisfactory, and indirectly accufed the Council of calumniating the Directory. The Council refented this with great fury.-Bertrand, of Calvados, in a very animated fpeech, defended the legiflature, and commented, with great feverity, upon the conduct of the Directory-Boulay, of La Meurthe, denounced Merlin and Lepaux, characterising the former as a man of a trifling mind, the latter as a fanatic. He hinted at the

I

On

neceffity of ftriking a blow, if they did not refign. Another member moved for a de cree of accufation against Merlin.

The Council refolved, on the 17th, in the afternoon, that every person who should make an attempt upon the fafety and liberty of the legiflature, or any of its members, fhould be outlawed. In the evening a meffage, figned by Barras, communicated to the Council the refignation of Merlin and Lepaux. Roger Duclos and General Moulins were appointed to fill their places.

Lucien Buonaparte, in the name of a Committee, on the 19th, prefented a report upon the conduct of the Directory, and on the finances. Upon this occafion, a member denounced the embezzlements of Scherer, and the falfe calculations of Ramel, the Minifter of Finance. On the 20th, one of the districts of Paris congratulated the Council upon the energy it had difplayed, and accused Reubel, Merlin, Lepaux, Scherer, and François de Neufchateau, as authors of the tyranny which had exifted. On the next day a report was prefented upon the measures to be adopted at the prefent crifis. The Prefidency of the Directory being vacant by the refigna tions, Sieyes was appointed to that feat.

The New Directory, on the 27th of June, fent a meffage to the two Councils, giving an account of the ftate in which they had found the Republic, upon their admiffion to power; they did not diffemble the dangers by which it was furrounded. "It was but too true," faid they, "that a fatal fyftem, that ill-founded prejudices, had removed from public functions and employments citizens beft qualified to maintain the high deftinies of the Republic; that almoft all the adminiftrations confifted either of weak and inefficient men, or of enemies to the Republican Conftitution, and that of courfe it was neceflary that they fould be new-modelled. It was allo true, that, emboldened by the weakness or connivance of the public functionaries, the robbers who infefted the interior of the Republic, had appeared with new audacity, and defolated feveral departments of the Weft and South-the purchafers of national property were attacked, and travellers and public vehicles were no longer fafe on the highways--And that the produce of the taxes were pillaged at the dif ferent places of collection, and on the way to the treafury-all thefe crimes too were

committed

committed in the name of the Throne and the Altar."

ITALY.

In our last we had only time to notice the entrance of the Auftro Ruffian forces into the city of Turin; the following are the leading particulars of thefe movements. On the 26th of May, General Melas, having firft paffed the Seffia, and encamped on that river, broke up from this pofition, paffed the Stura, and advanced in fuch a manner against Turin, as to bear with his left wing upon the Reggio and Barfo; and with his right, behind Madonna della Campagna. At nine at night all the 12-pounders and howitzers were fo kept in readiness, that the town could be bombarded from all fides after midnight, and the entry into it rendered easier. On the 27th, the city of Turin was fummoned to furrender by General Vukaffovich, who commanded the advanced guard; upon refufing, fome fhells were thrown into the city, by which one of the houses Situated near the Po gate was fet on fire. This induced the well difpofed inhabitants to open that gate, notwithstanding the enemy's oppofing it. Two fquadrons of the 7th huffars immediately forced their way into the city, and purfued the flying enemy as far as the gate of the citadel, where upwards of forty of them were made prifoners. As many of the French troops as were able, threw themselves into the citadel; whereupon General Kaim's divifion occupied the city, and was ordered to manage the blockade of the citadel within the city. In the arsenal, and on the ramparts, were found upwards of 360 pieces of cannon, befides a confiderable quantity of balls and bombs, more than 600o cwts. of powder, and other artillery stores. The French left behind them an hofpital with 215 fick

men.

Upon the Allied forces entering Turin, the French cannonaded the city for one hour from the citadel; they repeated the cannonade again from day. break till five o'clock in the morning; but a convention was afterwards entered into, by which they engaged to refrain from further, hoftilities against the city.

After thefe fuccefsful movements of the Auftro-Ruffians, the affairs in Italy for a fhort time appeared to turn in favour of the French arms. On the 16th of June, General Victor reached Placenza with his divifion, where he attacked the Auftri ans, fought them for fix hours, and repulled them with lofs. Part of them threw themselves into the caftle, whither 15 pieces of cannon had lately been con

veyed from Pizzighitone: the remainder paffed the Trebia, and retreated to the caftle of St. Giavanno. On the 27th, the Austrians attacked him, but were repulled. About this time General Macdonald advanced, and drove the Auftrians from Modena and Parma, and proceeded to Placenza, which he took, with a view to make himself master of the paffages of the Po. General Moreau haftened from. Genoa, and entered Tortona, defeating the Allies, who loft 4500 men, in killed and prifoners. But thefe advantages were tantalizing; for Field Marshal Suwarrow, perceiving the intention of the French Generals Macdonald and Moreau to join their whole forces and attack his own fcattered troops, immediately collected a large body of them at Aleffandria. On the 15th of June he marched from that city. In the mean time General Macdonald had fallen upon, General Hohenzollern, and had obliged him to cross the Tidione with confiderable lofs. General Ott had alfo been obliged to retire from Reggio to Placenta. On the 17th, the French attacked General Ott, and compelled him to fall back, when the arrival of the army, under the command of Field Marthal Suwarrow, enabled him to gain fome little advantage over the French, from whom he took one piece of cannon.

On the 18th, the Auftro-Ruffian army marched in three columns to attack the French. Thefe columns moved at twelve o'clock. The country about them was perfectly flat, and very much interfected with ditches and rows of vines. It does not appear that the French occupied any particular pofition. The Ruffian grenadiers attacked, on that afternoon, an advanced corps of two battalions, with two pieces of cannon, at Caffaleggio, and took them prifoners. The French line retired behind the Trebia: but it was too late in the evening, and the Austrian troops were too much fatigued to make a general at tack, which was ordered for the next morning. The Trebia is the most rapid river in Italy. The diftance from one bank to the other is near a mile; the intermediate space an open fand, divided by feveral streams, which, at this featon of the year, are fordable any where. The French occupied the right bank, the Allies the left.

On the 19th, while the Allies were pre paring to refresh themselves previously to the proposed attack, the French began a very heavy fire upon the whole line, and croffed the river." For a moment they fucceeded in turning the right_of_the

Ruffians

Ruffians at Caffaleggio, and obliged them to fall back; but at this inftant Prince Prokration, who had been detached with the fame intent on the left of the French, fell upon their rear and flank, and took one piece of cannon, and many prifoners. The French, however, did not give up their object. They gallantly renewed the attack upon the village of Caffaleggio, but were always repulfed by the obftinate valour of the Ruffians. The attack upon the centre and left was equally violent, and alternately fuccessful. For fome time the victory was doubtful; but at night the whole French line were compelled to relinquish the attack and recrofs the Trebia. It was the intention of Field Marshal Suwarrow to have followed them the next morning; but the French army retired in the night.

On the zoth in the morning, the Allied forces croffed the river in two columns. The Ruffians on the right marched to Settima, Montaruno, and Zena, where a number of wounded and the guard were made prifoners. The left column, compofed of Auftrians, marched on the great road from Placenza to Parma, as far as Ponte Novo. On the 21ft, the army moved on to Fierenzola, General Ott was detached with a corps of Auftrians in purfuit of the French: feveral prifoners were made by him. He reported, that the French army were retiring in two columns, one upon Parma, the other upon Forte Novo; and Prince Hohenzollern advanced again to Parma. Seven pieces of cannon, four French Generals, and about three or four thousand prifoners, according to the account of the Auftrian commander at Melas, fell into the hands of the Allies in this affair, whofe acknowledged lofs was however not lefs than 5000 in killed and wounded.

About the fame time, the important citadel of Turin furrendered.-It was agreed

that the garrifon fhould return to France immediately, to be exchanged for an equal number of Auftrian prisoners. Field Marshal Suwarrow was expected to march on the 24th to Aleffandria, in order to cover the fieges of that town and of Tortona. General Macdonald retreated in perfect good order, by Forte Novo, towards Leghorn and Genoa.

GREAT BRITAIN.

On the 12th of July, after the royal affent had been given by commiffion to feveral bills, his majefty put an end to the feffion by a speech from the throne," Stating that the favourable appearances which he announced at the commencement of the feffion, had been followed by fucceffes be yond his moft fanguine expectations-that the progrefs of the Auftrian and Ruffian arms had nearly accomplished the delivery of Italy from the degrading yoke of the French Republic-that he had the fatisfaction of feeing that internal tranquility was reftored in his kingdom of Ireland-that the removal of the only remaining naval force of the enemy to a diftant quarter muft nearly extinguifh even the precarious hope which the traitorous and difaffected before entertained of foreign affiftance : but that his great reliance rested on the experienced zeal and bravery of his troops, and on the unfhaken loyalty of his fubjects in both kingdoms: that its ultimate fecurity could alone be infured by an entire union with Great Britain. He concluded with obferving, that it was impoffible to compare the events of the prefent year with the state and prospects of Europe, at the distance of a few months, without ac. knowledging the visible interpofition of Divine Providence, in averting those dangers which threatened the overthrow of the eftablishments of the civilized world."The parliament was then prorogued till the 27th of Auguít next.
