muitlplyinr her means, either of conti
nuing the war, or of making an advan

Tn consequence of the great diffi

completing the crews of the frigates
now at Chatham and Sheerness, or
ders were given to disarm the Chris

crew. That vessel will be re-equip
ped a9speedily as possible. We can
not omit relating this fact, although
the conclusion to he drawn from it,
is very unfavorable to us. Such
measures were not necessary, when
we had the ability of procuring sea
men from the Mediterranean, the
Adriatic, the Baltic, the U. States,
and even from the coast of France.
We plainly perceive, the disadvanta

I Ibcita, July 9, I8J3.
, 1. The commander of the allied forest
is very anxious to call the attention
of the officers of the army to the differ
ence of their situation when they were
placed between Portugal and Spain, and
1 that in which they will henceforth be si
tuated, between this and France.
1 2. AH military precautions must be
taken, and every exertion be made to ob
i tain intelligence aBd to prevent surprise,
i The Generals and superior officers, and
the commanders of the detached corps
, will take eare to preserve a regular and
constant communication with the corps
| to the right and left, and also with the
rear guard ; and must be mindlul that
1 the soldiers, as well as all those who are
attached to the army, should not absent
1 themselves from their respective corps
1 and cantonments on any account white*
ver;
3. These precautions are rendered ab
solutely necessary to the army, as all the
frontier territory is in possession of the
-nemy. The commander of the allied
orces very particularly demands that
•he inhabitants should be well treated,
and that private property should be
' rictly respected.
4 The officers snd soldiers of the al
lied army must remember that their na
tions are at war with France only be
cause the ruler of the French nation does
r»«»t permit them to remain in peace ;
but who wishes to compel them to sub

the enemy experienced in his devastat
ing inroad into Spain and Portugal were
the consequence of the gross outrages of
liis soldiers, and the cruellies they com
mitted, authorised and animated by their
commanders, against the unhappy and
peaceable inhabitants of the country.
5 To revenge, therefore, these injuries
upon the subdued inhabitants of France,
would be cowardly ; and unworthy (be

mander of the forces is addressing him
