tion of all other states, cannot afford any pretext for continental discussions; and its union with France cannot possibly produce any remonstrances by which peace is likely to be endangered. Should England succeed in creating discord on this subject, no alternative will be left his Imperial and Royal Majesty but to prosecute with vigour the unjust war that will be declared against him.

-Enjoying the satisfaction of having res'cued a state which threw itself into his arms, he will have in his favour the goodness of its canse, the public opinion, and all the motives of dignity, neighbourhood, and benevolence, which have hitherto induced him to protect Genoa.Far more important considerations of great interest to all Europe, excepting England, co-operated on this occasion in the resolves of his Majesty. France, which, by her political and geogra phical situation on the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas, is destined to check the usurpa- | tion of the ocean, and to vindicate the rights and independence of the maritime powers, has not coasts so extensive as England. Without enlarging her continental possess sions, she will obtain, by the union of Genoa 6000 scamen to supply the place of those whom she lost during the late war, and will thus be enabled the better to cope with a state, the sole object of whose efforts is to usurp the dominion of the scas, which exercises an universal monopoly, which strives to make with every nation commercial treaties in her own way; which is extending her power in India caly with a view to employ it against Europe; which violates all the rights of neutrals, and which will not conduct herself with more moderation towards them till France shall have acquired a formidable wavy- -Were the English to restore Goa to the Portuguese, Ceylon to the Dutch, the vast possessions of Tippoo Saib to his heirs, and the Empire of the Mahrattas to its independence, it would better become thear than to remonstrate against the union of a narrow tract of coast, which is already surrounded by the French territory. Bat these exaggerating alarmists, who will infalHibly raise a prodigious outery against a measure which they have themselves rendered necessary for Genoa, for France, and for the security of Europe, will, it is to be hoped, not make any impression on the wiser cabinets of the Continent. To all the states of Europe the situation of Liguria must be a matter of indifference. They have long seen that this country is separated from their territories by the dominions of his Imperial and Royal jesty, and, from its position, can

have no communication with them bút by sea. They are already accustomed to the intimate relations subsisting between the Genoese and France, to the mutual interests and mutual operations which have rendered the two nations indivisible. Their union must appear to all Europe the inevitable result of their position.. It cannot excite any mistrust in the continental powers, as it will not add a single battalion to the French army; as the gradual decay of Liguri forbids the annexation of its te ritory to be ascribed to wishes of ambition, so there is it a court that ought to entertain any alarm concerning the intentions of his Majesty, after the prin ciples of moderation he has manifested, in accepting the Crown of Italy only till such time as the tranquillity of the south of Europe shall be restored.-England imagined, that while she was conquering India, and plundering the Sovereigns of extensive and epulert kingdoms, the distance of these unexampled usurpations world. escape the attention of Europe.

A few thousand more seamen will be sufficient for the equipment of ten ships which Françe is building in the midst of the war, and will be the best guarantee for the preservation of any future treaty between her and England, It is beyond a doubt, that, if at a moment of peace France has succeeded in placing her marine on a respectable footing, there will be no danger of a renewal of those hostilities which England thought proper to commence against France in May, 103, of which the expedition against Denmark, and capture of the Spanish frigates, furnish, a farther demonstration.- -Europe will not then any longer be perpetually disturbed by the efforts of a government which is incessantly endeavouring to a the Continent in favour of its design upon the seas, and which has in vain granted 5,000,0001. sterling to procure assistance.The measure of the Genoese cannot, therefore, in any point of view, opi pose the smallest obstacle to the negotiations with which M.

Proclamation of Prince Fugene, Viceroy of Italy, Arik-Chancellor of the French Empire, to all the People of the Kingdom of Italy, given at Milan, October 1, 1804.

People of the Kingdom of Italy, the Cabinet of Vienna has deʼermined upon war, both against you and the French people. That cabinet has dared to say, that the war has been provoked by France and Italy. Undoubtedly it will not be easy for it to make you credit this strange calumny. People of Italy, you know whether, during the last five months, Austria has for a moment ceased to collect forces under your eyes, to victual her fortresses, aid to menace your frontiers. You are able to judge whether the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, though informed of all these hostile preparations, whereat you were justly alarmed, has not been in a manner deaf to the statements of the injustice ard faithlessness of the Cabinet of Vienna. You know whether, at the moment when you were daily threatened with seeing your territory invaded, Napoleon did not refuse to hearken to your alarms, and to order suitable military dispositions to dissipate them. In a word, you know how often you have been surprised, alarmed, and have even complained of the patience of Napoleon Napoleon would not believe that war was possible. He demanded explanations: he did not recal his arabassador: he considered the residence at Paris of the Ambassador trom Vienna, as a pledge that the House of Austria wished for

peace and hence it was that the armies of that House, taking advantage of the generous confidence of Napoleon, invaded the territory of a prince of the empire, of a prince guilty of the unpardonable crime of having remained faithful to treaties, and of having continued our ally. Unaccountable blindness, which has led the Emperor of Germany to compel those states to take refuge under the protection of the Emperor of the French, which he had at his coronation been bound to protect and defend. The cry of the Bavarian people has been heard by Napoleon. Napoleon is gone to put him self at the head of his armies. Soon shall the crime perpetrated against Bavaria be avenged. After a few efforts, peace, which has so often been granted, and so often offered by Napoleon, shall be secured for a long period. People of the kingdom of Italy! I am in the midst of you, such as my august and dearly beloved father-in-law, who has placed me here, has wisher that I should be. On my part, I will take care that your property shall be respected, and your laws and constitutions preserved. Unquestionably, even with the greatest valour, there is yet cause for a people, still without defence, to apprehend those misfortunes which are inseparable from the state of war. Rely upon my zeal for the performance of all my du ties: rely upon the sentiments of my heart, which I have declared to you. People of Italy, I will remove from you all the inconveniencies which I possibly can. I expect from you, zeal, attachment, and courage. You know the unlimited confidence which you all ought to place in that part of the French army, which, is destined for Italy. You know the confidence which is due to the darling son of victory, to whom the Emperor has entrusted the care of defending you. People of Italy Napolcon relies entirely upon you: rely entirely upon him. Napoleon has on his side the God of Armies, always terrible to the perjured. He has in his favour his own glory, his genius, the jus tice of his cause, the valour and fidelity of the people of Italy. Our enemies shall be vanquished. THE PRINCE EUGENE.

BAVARIA -Address communicated to the Bavarian Troops by the Emperor Napoleon in General Orders, dated October 5, 1805,

Bavarian Soldiers,I have placed myself at the head of my army, to deliver your country from an unjust aggression. The House of Austria intends to annihilato your independence, and to incorporate you ́ with its extensive dominions: but you will

The corps of Marshal Ney was at Koeffingen. That of Landes at Neresheim; Prince Murat, with his dragoons, stood on the Banks of the Danube. The men were in perfect health, and burning with desire to engage the enemy. -The enemy had approached the entrances into the Black Forest, where it seems they intended to make a stand, and prevent our entering. They had fortified the Liler, Memmingen and Ulm were also fortifying in great haste. Our patroles assert, that the enemy have stopped their proceedings, and appear dismayed at our unexpected movements. The French and Austrian patroles have frequently met; a those meetings we have taken prisoners forty men of the regi ment of Lalour cavalry This grand and extensive movement has brought us, in the course of a few days, into Bavaria; it has enabled us to avoid the Black Mountains; the line of Close rivers, which, running parallel, flow into the valley of the Danube; the difficulties of a state of operations which would always have been flanked by the entrances into the Tyrol; finally, it has placed us several marches in the rear of the enemy, who has no time to lose, to avoid his total destruction.

Events press upon each other with the greatest rapidity. The second division of the corps of the army under Marshal Soult, commanded by General Vandamme, which from the rapidity of its progress, halted but two hours at Nordlingen, arrived at Donauwerth at eight o'clock in the evening, and carried the bridge, which was defended by the regiment of Colloredo.
