FROM 7111 S RHENISH•MERCURT. REMARKS ON FOUCHVS FIRST MEMORIAL. Stich are the words of Fouche, the Police Minister, • as they were circulated, during the letter half of the prece.iing month in Paris, and, read every where term:emelt Franie with -swam A strong, broad. si.ou..lered, and raw-boned enemy has got above the . French, and presses Up o n them like an Incubus, and they are groaning under the burden. They had al. ready for once succeeded with their high sounding words, in sh.ikieg themselves clear of him, and they thereiore took it into their heads. that though he was setnewhat rubust and strong armed, he was, never theless, exceedingly. stupid, silly, and even timid. They Wish, therefore, to exhibit him a second sime, lid by the nose,, to the laughter and amusement of the whole world. Hence they have first held the oh' lananage to the Princes and Diplomatists, as there is no chance with the Generals, and endeavoured to prove to them, that nothing which is so, really is so. for this convincing reason s because that is, it is true. nothing else that: that, bet is another than it is, be. cause whatever is, is. This admirable proof must. however, be painted for effect with glaring colours, with etas dashes of light, and dark sh.idows ; with something of Hered, :Lid the: murder of the Children Bethlehem, some. thing of the Tell Plagues of Egypt, and a few fa mines, &c. The whole will then form an admirabl e Sauatiun de 'Empire, like those elicit the Orators of the Government of Napoleon used formerly to lay before the woad with a gay and fiiendly contempt, only Chic tittle painted with dreadful colours, like those of Dante's Hell, where the damned are intro duces' sing;ng in chorus. In the midst of the picture the good King is represented as crowned with thorns, as a Montezuma weighed down with fetters, and his subjects s so many unfortunate Mexicaos, as men wino formerly indeed killed their fellows, but who Are now perceptibly improved and become interesting from their misfortnnes. At the conclusion, where the harangue takes, a prophetic turn, the innocent victims are informed how they must behave, it the above reorientation and exposition should prove of no avail; .in the presence of all the victorious 'powers, insurrection is held to tlient as the only means of escaping from their ntis &flours; an 4 it conciudes in a manner intiiiitely sub lime and pathetic, like, the valley of Jehoiaphat as it were, with a more particular view of this great in surrection, with a huge black hole to frighten all children and childish people, a hole in which alone dingy million:01 Frenchmen test in their dead dresses, and each, women and children inclusive, holds at least one slaughtered enemy in close embrace. M. Garat, who is given out as the author of the Work, has here seven times surpassed himself, and it the pub:ic before whom he acts has even the slightest idea of poeti.a justice they will call himout, and make him go through this effecting drama a second time. In this wank we must, above all things, admire the fof. =alit) , with which,. according to the rides, like a French linty, it is perfectly fashioned into three acts. In the that we have the proud intreitue, which at once bursts upi.rt us : Les ravage) de la France het a leer roidle p at.d then with proper brevity he describes the scene.

" Dear and faithful subjects, we have taken into consideration the petitions which have been addressed to us, as well as to our Ministers of State and of the! 'lnterior, the wish that they express for the allevia- I don of the imposts and charges which weigh upon I our subjects, and for the speedy re-convocation of the States. " The more that we have been accustomed to be. stow a careful attention :o the petitions which our subjects present, the more we are forced to express our surprize, that in the framing and presenting of the greatest number of those petitions, there has been such a departure from the legal forms, that ; great number of them have been adopted without assem bling those in whose names they are presented, in the manner the Constitution prescribes; and as for the rest, the signatures have been procured after they had been already forwarded. We have reason to be more astonished that an opportunity has been taken from the imposition of the ordinary annual tax for and 1816. not only to make representations to us against the tax itself, but to beset us with deputa tions of all the bailiwicks, which are appointed to meet at - our residence on particular days. We are inclined to believe,, that those who have lent them selves to such measures have not sufficiently reflected upon the abuses to which their conduct may give rise. " Meanwhile, our duty as. Sovereign forbade us to receive such deputations; and we have, in • conse quence, ordered our authorities to restrain the execu tir,n of such an enterprize, and to lead back our sub. jects to the paths of lawful order. We have likewise seen with satisfaction, that these irregular attempts have not succeeded, excepting in a small number of bailiwicks; that several, as soon as the information was given them of the illegality of such measures, had desisted from them, and that six of the deputa -tions which had arrived in the vicinity of our resi dence retired at the first intimation which was made to them of our pleasure. The representations which , have been made to us against the tax of 1815 andl 1816, are founded upon the erroneous supposition,' that it should not have been imposed without the consent of the States. Far from being a tai newly. , imposed, it has always been levied annually in equal proportions on all different parts of the couutry since their union tot the purposes of taxation. is It was fixed in 1808 at 2,100,000 florins; in 1810, the union of several provinces newly acquired raised it to 2,200,000; and lastly, in 1815 it amoun ted to 2,400,000, becauie the taxes of the places be longing to our Chamber of Domains were merged in the public Exchequer. The extent of the wants of the State for the present year would have authorised us to raise the annual tax even before the establish ment of the Constitution of the 15th of March, con sidering that the oriinary receipts were not in a just proportion with the necessary expenses, and that for this reason a capitation tax had been imposed since 1808. It was easy to foresee that the payment of the arrears occasioned by the war, the interest of a considerable part of the debt of the ancient provin. cial chest in the countries newly acquired. the estab liahrnent of a sufficient sinking fund, and other wants of the State, would necessarily increase its expenditure. " Nevertheless we have its those circumstances re stricted ourselves for the advantage of our subjects to the suns which has been imposed up to this date, and we have been ever disinclined to levy the annual ca pitation formerly established. We accorded, under date of the 11th (if March. all those reductions in the expenditure which. being compatible with justice, enabled us to cover the most pressing wants by the ordinary receipts. Among other things we remitted to Exchequer of the State a sum of 95,000 florins, which it owed to our Chamber of Domains and Finance. In fine, in a rescript addressed to our Mi nisters of State on the llth of March. we irrevocably fixed the annual tax at 2,400,000 florins. This dis ; position was scarcely known. when some payments were already made; and if the complete of the tax was postprnied, as well as its inscription in the bailiwicks, that cirountstancit forms no just ground of complaint to our subjects against an impost established in conformity to Vie constitutional act, befor its publication. " Outside: ing the pressing and indispeniible wants of the Exchequer of the State, we cannot diminish the existing imposts. and we expect from all the authori. ties and Magistrates of our kingdom. that they make known this state of things to those under their autho.' rity, and prevail on them faithfully to fulfill their duties of subjects and citizens, by paying taxes which, as they well know, are not emptied into our private chest, but are destined to cover the most necessary expenses of the State. We therefore make our Magistrates responsible for the maintenance of order in this as in every other matter, reserving to ourselves, nevertheless, the right of ulteriorly iustracring them, in regard to the levying of the taxes, as to the mode of acting towards the Payers, according to their means. . " However heavy . may be the charges which our subjects have to bear this year, in consequence of the renewal of the war, they will nevertheless acknowledge that we have done a great deal for their relief, by obtaining throUgh our relations with foreign powers, the means of relieving them *tom the sum of mil lions, which they would not otherwise have been able to avoid, for the equigiment and maintenance of our contingent of troops, fixed at 20,000 mu j an ex. pence for which, in preceding years of war, other ex traordinary resources were resorted to, such as in 1800 the military contributions extended to the new acqui sitions of the country, in 1809 t he capitals of iniurance, in 1812 an increase, by one half, of the ordinary taxes, and, finally , io 1813 and 14, the two imposts on property. . " When the proper time comes, we shall lay befdre our States an account of the rnduce and employ ment of these subiidies, as is'prescribed by the nth Article sit the CoOstitutional Act, in regard to direct .nd indirect Wes. We shall also give an account to !he country, of the employment of the sums already received, or still expected from the - Allied Powers, for the supply of. the magaainis, and the maiatv liaime of the troops. . " Our subjects, who have been hitherto clink. . 1 ;136411, ;Ike their ancestors, by . their fidelity and .ttachment to their Sovereign, as well as bY their obedience to the laws, will best with patience and resignation the inevitable berthens, of whicb the happy success which has hitherto attended oer 'forts promises an approaching termination ; and will be convinced, in the calm of reflectinn, that there is no. thing but the entire re-establislipsent of peace and tranquillity on the one hand, and on their part an entire confidence in our cares and in the measures we, have taken tor - their welfare, which can enable us to procure for them those alleviate ns which We so anxiously desire they may. experience, and thus.cen , firm anew in a durable manner, both by those awn• tions and regulations calculated to secure to them the free enjoyment of their property, thi;ix welfare,. disturbed by 25 years of war. i• In the mean time we will devote all our atten tion to every thing that is calculated to restore this, easiness of circumstances. Wit► chit view we have lettered the wishes and the complaints that have beun presented to us by our faithful States, relative to all the branches of administration, to be carefully examined. Having anew recommended that this examination be conducted with dispatch, and tl.at the reports on the subject be spee►tily made to us, we shall soon be enabled to fix the period for a new con vocation of our prorogued States. and continue with them the discussions which have the general waltare for their object.

AU rational men have bewailed the proceedings of the Spanish Government since the restoration of nit- DINANA it is hardly possible that any act emit:sting from such a source can have qualities to recommend . it to the approbation of sound politicians. What can be expected from a government which, in the nineteenth Centery, can exhibit such imb;:cility as to allow the reins to be seised by Priests I—which can repay the labours of those Patriots who fought and bled for the emancipation of the country from foreign thraldom, with imprisonments, perm:all punishments, confiscations, and death l--and, the 12nti:r to hunt out and destroy the victims of supzumtion and tyranny, revives the Inquisition in the Mother.coun• try and throughout the Colonies Can good,men—can any other Government, look with indifference on the conduct of such rulers ? The interests of mankind are so hok , ,al together, that it hardly possible to conceive the possibility of the ex istence of a bad Government, the evils of wLich can fall only on its own subjects. They always affect, mote or less, the welfare of other cotntuunities ; and this gives to others, if not a right to interfere m the direct management of its administration, a right to 'adopt every measure calculated to lessen, if not en tirely to avert from their ossn people the effects of its mismanagement or misrule. Nor is it sufficient that the bad Government should be able to say " You are my Ally, and, therefore, you cann3t interfere, or do any thing calculated to thwart my views." The intention of all lawful alliances is mutual pro tection and defence. No Treaty can admit a con. struction that shall bind the parties to become asses :arks to acts of illegal oppression—or even to wink at them. They only bind the parties to defend each other against the common enemy not to assist in forging fetters for the people of either.—To come to the point : can any Treaty that may exist between this country and Spain make England become an ac cessary to the re-establishment of the Inquisition ? to the prosecutions carried on against the patrintsfn Old Spain ? to the war of extirpation denounced against the South Americans ? The Allies, it is said, have rerun:mated against some of the proceedings of the Court of Spain. Can any single act of that Court, during the time that it has been under the dominion of Priests—that is, ever since the reign of Cilium', V. be adduced that has not, in its very core, been revolting to the dictates of reason and religion I But we must confine ourselves to narrow limits at present—The Noah American Revolution ! What was the conduct of. the Spanish Government on that occasion ? I The whole of the Bourboas and their Nobles—the entire of the aosiabk French, and mobleoninded Spanish people, with their pious hierarchies, labouring with as much, zeal, though with less ability, as was ever exhibited by BONAPAILTS, for the destruction of Great Britain, united with our rebellious subjects. They succeeded in establishing their independence. The soldiers sent to North America-carried back to France the princi. pies for which they had been fighting in America= In six years after the peace of 178$, these principles were called into action in France—the throne was subverted—Spaia was involved in the vortex, nod lost her independence ! Did Britain retaliate the cop she had been com pelled-to drink? She sent forces to South America to counteract the machinations of the French and al the BonaparteSpanillit Government, and to the Pa ninsula she sent an army for its emancipation.
