From this famp'p of the language used by
Mr. Genet to the government, as avowed by
himfelf, under circumstances which certainly
did not lead him to exaggerate his own im
proprieties, it is easy to discern what has been
the true complexion of his deportment. It
is cafy to perceive, that it was more lifce that
of an Eastern Bashaw to his slaves, than like
that of the Minister of one, to the govern
ment of another sovereign and independent
nation. It appears, that instead of endea
voring to convince the Psefident of the fup
pofed-ertor of his conftru&ion—he has pre
ferred the stile of complaint, rcmvijiavce and
unhandsome imputation. Want of regard to
France, and a Sacrifice of her interests to those
of her enemies are petulantly charged; ar.d
Mr. Genet, willing to become the inftru&or
of the government, undertakes to lelTbn the
President about the vievJSy the dejires y and the

After all this, he has the modesty to call

His Majfjly's mojlgracious SPEECH to ioth Houses
oj Parliament,
ON FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1793.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
THEI firmnefs, wisdom, and public spirit by
which your concluft has been eminently diftin
gnifhed on the many Important occasions which
have arisen during the present fcflion, demand
mv peculiar acknowledgments.
Your firm determination to support the cftab
lifhed constitution, and the zealous and general
concurrence in that fenume.nt, which my fuh
jefts have To strongly ahd seasonably manifeft
ed, could not fail to check (very attempt to dis
turb the internal repole of these kindoms ; and
you will, I doubt not, in your several counties
encourage the continuance ot the fame vigilant
'attention to that important object.
The rapid and signal fuccefles which in an
rarly period of the campaign have attended the
operations of the combined armies; the resec
table and powerful force which you have ena
bled me to employ by sea and land, and the
mcafures which I have concerted with other
poweis for the effectual profecutiovi of the war,
afford the best profpeft of a happy issue to the
important contest in which we *re engaged ; It%
is only by peifcvcrance in vigorous exertions,
apd by endeavoring to improve the advantages
already acquired, that we can hope to obtain
the great end to which my views are uniformly
dire&ed, the restoration of peace on such terms
as may be confident with our permanent securi
ty, and with the general tranquillity of Europe.
Gentlemen of the lloufe of Commons,
I rcrurn you my particular thanks for the
chcarfulncfs and dispatch with which you have
granted ithc neceflary supplies, & I am happy to
refle# that you have enabled me liberally to pro
vide for the exigencies of the public fervire in
a manner so little burthenfoine lo my people.
My Ltrji arJ 6f*t/cmt» t
The Ml which you have formed for
the government of (he territories tu India, jud
for the regulation of our commerce w::h.that
part of the will, I doubt not, (retire and
augment fhetmporrant benefits which we
already derived irom those valuable potfefiions.
It has been impoilible for me 10 fee without
concern the cmbanaliment which has lately ari
sen in the (late of commercial credit, but the
steps which you have taken to prevent the pro
gress of that evil, appear already to have been
produ&ive of veiy faluiary consequences ; and
while they have afforded a drifting instance oi
yrxkr attention to the interefls of my pdoplt,
their effrft has furnifhed additional THMQfc
believe that the distress which has been felt pro
ceeded from a concurrence of temptoraffy cautes,
and not from any diminution ot the real wealth,
or any failure in the permanent refoijrces of the
country.
I have much fatisfa&ion in refle&ing on the
effr&ual pint ftion which I have enabled
to afford to the trade of my fubjftts finc'e the
breaking out of the war—l am at the fau• e rime
persuaded that if our commercial interests had
unavoidably been atfc£ted to a more considera
ble extent, it would not have be.cn forgotten
fhat we are contending for our future security,
and for tfe permanent preservation of advan
tages the mod striking and the mr.ft valuable
which any nation has ever, by the blefling of
Providence, been permitted to enjoy.

Intelligence has been received here, that on
the 12th inft. a bo<iy of about 10,000 French
troops attempted to difl>dge the advanced pdfts
ot the Sardinian army at Raus and Authion in
the county of Nice, commanded by the Gene
rals Baron Colli and Baron Deller,*, and, after
an engagement which lafled near 8 hours,-with
out interruption, were repulsed on all fides,and
driven into the vallies, with the loss of abont
800 men killed, and 1500 wounded, besides a
number taken prisoners. The loss on the part
of the Sardinians amounts to between 40 arid 50
killed,and about 200 wounded.
O S T E N D, June 28*
The Auftrians have been unfortunately beaten
at Arlon ; they loft abont 1500 men, their bag
gage and magazines. Letters from Paris men
tion, thai the rebel army had been defeated by
Gen. Biron, with the lofsof 7.000 men, all their
k a ££ a g e and artillery. Ido not vouch for the
truth of this report, but I know lhat it comes
from Paris. If Valenciennes be Recently de
fended, it may hold out a month longeT. As
yet the besiegers have not opened any battery *
nearer than 300 yards ; but they talk of begins
ning another parallel—a third.—Sorr)«~ people
report, that the King of Brutfia's army on ihe
Rhine is so reduced, that were it not for .the
Auftrians who are with them, they would be
obliged to abandon the neighbourhood of

" Our administration," said the orator, " ha»
raised some cavalry, confiding of the late No

missioners had ordered to be arretted. It has al
so raised a battalion of 800. men, as badly or
ganized, and in which the rich have been pfe
ferred to the Sans Culottes. It ordered the fal
lowing infeription to be put on the colours,
" War to Anarchists !" So that our department
is completely in a state of counter-revolution,
and fupporfed by an armed force. This is not
all: the department declared that it acknow
ledged no longer the convention. The doin-i
monalty of Dole could not forbear its cries of
indignation, and the department has resolved to
fend an armed force to deprive Dole of its can

a civil war will break out."

was alarmed at the piogrefs it might make, if
the most vigorous measures were not taken.
He proposed the formation of a camp, which
might be a nursery of warriors, a kind of a se
