A .‘ ' I ' .1t raW OF THE St 4 IT OF PEANC:Z. (VnO3TTIIE FRENCH PAPERS.) At the moment when propitious,HEAVEN seems to be compenseting the earth for, the rigours of hitter, seesonseewhen the fruits with which the hind is co- ; — *erect give and promise abundance : when the wished for epoch of the delivery of the French terriory is . approaching ; the eye charmed * and the mind satis fied, repose with delight on the picture of France , consoled for her past misfortunes, rich in the benefits she 'enjoys mei in those she expects. Where are those 1,200,000 warriors whose batta lions covered the.soil of France ? How have those' nations, which erelong cherished resentments, abju red their hatreds and resigned their distrust? A po licy founded on good faith has dissiretted their alarms, and French honour, always so respectable on the field of battle, has received new lustre from' the faith of guarded treaties. That people, who by their courage had so long been the arbiters and per haps the terror of Europe, hive, by displaying other virtues, and exercising a milder power, commanded its esteem, and conquered its friendship. If we torn our eyes to the intelior of France, what changes within so few years! Two scourges, inva sion and sterility, afflicted our provinces; neveithee lesa traverse their plains, enter their cities, and yon find no trace of the fury of man; or of calamities from Beeves. Never . did cultivation so far extend its progress ; never did industry so multiply its pro ducts. At the ,sight of those fields to which labour haS restored abundance, of those cities in which coin • fort re-appears, the traveller with astonishment asks, " Is this the country which has suffered so much ? What hand, fertile in prodigies, has so promptly healed its wounds, assuaged its misfortunes, and made prosperity succeed disasters ?" Bat, above all, are these the people whom an un - extunpled revolution, the shock of so great a num ber of opinions, the opposition of so many different ' interests, the fermentation of so many hostile de . meats, seemed to expose every moment to the dan gers of a new explosion ? Happily, that agitation which belonged to parties did not exist in the ileum ; to it our institutions guaranteed the liberty so con stantly celled for by its wishes; the Government pro mised the repose so necessary to its -wants; it placed confidence in the force of the former, and in the wis dom of the latter; and the law and =equality now reign on eve: y point of France. The public funds, those moveable yet certain signs of the re-establishment of confidence, daily increase in value. The treasures which credit brings into the coffers of the state, wisely distlibuted, flow through a thousand channels, falouring labour and diffusing plenty. Greet establishments are forming, and ex tensive speculations preparing. Commerce, eneou • raged by success, orders Agriculture to supply her productions, Industry to open her mutant°, ies, and • casting a look over the ocean. sinews our ships the . read to the riches of boll worlds. The Administration, attentive to that impulse which it alternately receivee and gives, directs it to. wards results favourable to national glory and pros perity. Our hospitals which the foreigner admires, our sch .ols and institutions which he takes for his model, are not the sole objects of its care. There bridges ate erected on the Lie and the Dordogne ; Isore - amids are opened which will bringtanguedoc had the Pyrennees nearer to Paris and Lyons. Paris raises a temple to Commerce ; and the town, which the patriotic sacrifice of Eustache de St. Pierre has immortalized, consecrates by a monument the first footstep which marked on the soil of France the re turn of the Monarch restored to her wishes. Every where the Administration is commencing, finishing, or replacing monuments useful for the destination given them, .or valuable for the events the memory of which they perpetuate. The sciences have lost nothing of the consideration which environed their labours, nor of the happy di rection given to their study : less wrapped up in mys tery, they willingly descend from their elevated theo ries to ingenious applications ; of which the artisan, tle labourer, and the artist profit. The French, who • blase had predecessors and masters in the arts, no longer reckon any rivals in them. Painting, which we have lately seen so fruitful and so rich, is prepa ring new master-pieces. The nun-ble, animated tin der the chisel of is about to re-produce he roes; and the bronze will soon present to the view of the capital the .eloved features os Henry IV. the adored image of a Prince, whose virtues furnish a tliousand subjects of appro:sinuu.lon to the memory and the gratitude of the 'Ample. Eloquence has o h : ed for itscif new paths, and prepared new triumphs for the natio-.-.31 tribune. A oman of talent, '4llO has written like a statesman, has bequeathed to us a work sperkiing with the last rays :if her genius. Poetry has stru.tg her lyre to repent the song of a great bard, and to celebrate the exploits of a r.?at /sing. The press multiplies the principal v. arks of our best authors, and spreads tiirasuyh all classes that taste for liLeratarewhich ele vates the mind and plishes the teanners. A move ment so general need not surmize, in a country and period in which the throne shirts with the lustre of ' keowledge, and gives out oracles of taste. Theee benefits, the happy frchs cf peas:; that commerce which it favours ; these arts which it en courage, ; that tranquillity v.-hich it procures, will lung continue uralinurbed by arna. But in the bo som even of tranquillity, prudence guards against perils, and prepares deienders for France, Schools are opened for youth, where the:- v. ill I;:ara the art of conquering under warriors who hate already leaned that art from victory. Appointments made with selection arc about to reward valour, services, and meth, in all the ranks of the array. But the State does not confine itself to recompenses for cou rare displayed in battle. That kind of heroism Which rescues from the flames their prey ; from the waves their victims ; that calm and nanquil courage which maintains order in cities, and unich, though without Splendour, is not without dan:, ; er, also ,re ceives rewards, and obtains marks of honour.-- Thus, in pursuing.a grand idea, the Government, on the one hand, associates the civic .virtues with the qualities of the warrior; and, on the . - eher, draws loser the bonds which connect the soldier with the citizen. This happy concord is necessary in a country in which the military force exists for maintatainz, and never for repressing, public frr..edom. Every day liberty obtains securities. When was there seen, not merely under the fti;;htful reign . which proclaimed terror in the name of liberty, not merely at the pe riod when anarchy was powerless against licentious- . ness, or when despotism commanded slavery and prohibited complaint, but, at any other epoch, a greater example of liberty ? When was personal freedom more respected, property held more sacred, or the mind less enslaved? For who would, on ac tount of some dangerous publications, confound the ! I use of a right with excess, or the application of the law with tlic caprice of arbitrary power? France, daily appreciating the benefits of a liberty which she owes to her Prince, will, on the approaching eke , tions, seize the opportunity of sending to the Cham her of Commons, citizens worthy of representing I the nation, and subjects worthy of surrounding the Monarch. . . The picture of a prosperity which is his work. will, by filling his heart with a pure joy, render his health more confirmed, and his days more serene.— He rejoices at the happiness of France, and the p eace which reigns in the State : he is gladdened b y the consolidation of the throne, and smiles at the hope of a fecundity which, in giving him new supports, is the object of the wishes and the benedictions of a whole people.

'The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morning. Although we have ceased to expect, through the i medium of the public Journals of France, any direct ' information respecting the. late Conspiracy, we ate still daily meeting in them, with some incidental cir cumstance or other, which tends to place out cf doubt the fact of such a conspiracy having actually existed. Oa Sunday die King held a grand Levee, and it was remarked, (says one Journal) that among a great number of Marshals and superior Officers present, there were Generals SounAM and Cuittat., I many Bishops, and most of the Presidents of the dif- I ferent Courts of Justice. The other Journals omit' naming Souttast and oIIRIAL, but state, as equally I remarkable, that DAVOUT, Duke of Dantzick, and MORTIER, Duke of Treviso, were among the most I prominent characters in the courtly gro I*. And why was the presence of such officers as SounaM aad Comm., is DAVOUST and MORTIBR, a subject of remark? Why are men, so eminent in the revo lutionary annals of France, men who had stood out to the lad against the restoration of the BCCIREON3, and had, during the temporary ascendancy of Ultra Royalist principles and influence, been exiled from the Royal presence, so chosen to be particularized in preference to all the other eminent and noble per sons present—in preference especially, and out of op position as it would seem, to the whole body of an cient and restored Noblesse? Because, evidently, ' the presence of such men, at the present moment ; , at a Levee of the description of the one in question, where Soldiers, Churchmen, Magistrates, and States ' men, had all assembled to make renewed assu ' tames of their fidelity to their Sovereign, stews that there is a rallying round the Tnrone of the new Interests, as they are termed, in opposition to the Old ; and that the Old Interests—the Ultra-Royalists • in fact—have been doing or plotting something which has called for this rallying of the old revolutionary leaders round the King, and made It a matter of greater policy and safety for Louts to throw himself into the arms of those who have once been his most avowed enemies, than to trust to the attachment of men who, with all their hereditary obligations to filelity, and with all their high-sounding pretences of loyalty, arc traitors at heart to every thing but their own personal vanity and aggrandizement. The following are other Extracts : PARIS, JULY 13. His Grace the Duke of Wellington paid a visit, yesterday, to a country house in the environs of Ar pajon, with Count Mole, the )Minister of Marine. The Grand Council of Friberg has rejected, by a majority of 61 voices to 42, a propositicn for ths, ro establishment of the Jesuits. We learn from Marseilles that travellers from Leghorn state, that they left in that port three Ame rican ships of the line and two frigates ; a fourth ship of the line set sail a few days previously. At the de parture of these travellers the determination of the Tuscan Government, as to the authority demanded by the American Commodore to cast anchor at Porto . Ferrajo, was not known. We learn from the Upper Rhine, that the Em peror of Austria, on his journey to Air-la-Chapelle, will proceed to the head-quarters of General Fri rnont, in Alsace, in order to inspect the corps of Austrian troops under his orders. AUGSBURG, JUNE e 9. The Gazetaa Univenelle contains the official de claration of the limits and object of the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, and adds on this occasion the fol lowing declaration However great may be the importance of this object to the public, it cannot en tirely remove the more extensive interest which at taches itself to this meeting of ;Monarchs. indi:pen dently of the ob;ect and of the intentions derived from it, sac!: an 0c...17: Iv togetii.z.r Princes, to whom st;c interests are cr.-- truited, and by tiler mutuat coalultatl:ms, opens a vast field for salatar)- .iances.

The interests of the different existing treaties, at the head cf which should be placed the lioly Alliance and the Germanic Con federation, the interests of the Constitutional system, which is daily strengthening and spreading, finally, all the interests, which ate connected with the general ►tate of civilization in Europe, cf commerce, of the free navigation of the Rivers, of the Lilrrty of the Press, of the relations of Citizens Ja other, and of tolerance on Religious subjects—all these objects cannot but be considered, at the meeting of Sove reigns, though they may not be part of the formal purpose of their assembling. The speech of the Em peror AtaxAnieft to the Poles contains much infor mation, and may be regarded as an index of the sen timents which will prevail at the Congress." In the German Papers we find the subjoined article from Berlin, which throws some light on the state of manufactures in Germany. The advance of Wool, it is said, will be followed by the rein of the industry of the Cities, althoegh it proves the temporary pro speriry of the great landed estates. This high price is occasioned by " travelling English speculators" who are purchasing the coarse as well as the fine wools of Germany. It seems to be impossible to carry on trade with the Continent in any manner satisfactory to the Merchants and Manufacturers.— When the English supply the markets with cheap 'goods, it is said that they threw away their commo dities merely to ruin the Continental manufactories. When they purchase the raw materials at a price, it is affirmed, that they have the same object in view, because, " this wool is paid for by Bill: from the balance due to them on their cottons."' It thus appears that the English sell their cotton fabrics at half price, and with the money, a balance dee by the Germans, purchase their wools at doulle i price. Such is the state of the English commerce with Germany, that, in every point of view, it is ruinous to the former; but, somehow, the English persevere in this lo,ing trale, an.l the Germans caught, doubtless, to become rich by the advantages it affords them. The secret, however, is explaieed by the writer of this article, who seems not aware of the consequences, of the facts he states. All trade consists in the ee -1 change of one commodity fur another, and there is no other advantage derived from : it than the mere gratification of desire. The cottons of England are a full equivalent for the wools of Germany—or in tlee long run, the goods of the one country must balanoc those of the other—this simple fact explain: the whole theory of commerce, as well as the particular cause why one species of commodities, cottons, for instance, can be sold apparently low, and another species, wools, for example, can be bought uppn,,,2llip high in the Continental markeis. We shall always be happy to hear, that the English can supply the manufactured article at a low, and purchase the zaw material at a hiegi rate, fur it evinces, as the Berlin writer expresses it, " that they have larger capitals, better machines, a mote certain market, secnred by their extensive commerce and iraviatit.u.'"rhe lowing is the article to which me allude: JUNE LI. The great wool fair bas br0t...2-ht to light z ci:.cum starxe which prOves, it is true, the tetni;orary oipe rity of the landed estates, bat which must he follou by the total ruin of the industry of the cities. ordi nary wool has rise,: to the pe....e of from If. l . to 1S dal lars per stone, and fine wool risen to 4G ciollara.--- These high prices have been caused by travelling English !peculators, ar.d our Phys;ocicts triumph at this admirable result of their system: for, say they, our cloth 'manufacturers must cc: tainly be able to sell at the same pi ices as the English, since they have over them the advantage of shorter and cheaper colt veyance. But they forget that the English find money at a much cheaper rate ; and besides,this wool is paid for by bills from the balance due to them on their cot tons ; that they have larger capitals, better macla.,es, a more certain market, secured by their . extentive commerce and navigation. Formerly they put cli:.sed in Germany only fine wool, but no..v they pn,...11:15e the coarse also, in order to aimil,ilate our cloth ma._ nufactories entirely. While the free exportation of wool is prohibited by them, as it wai amongst us un der Frederick 11. we have now allowed the free ex portation.
