He says ' " by the ignorance of the sues, the bribes of Austria, tht hits igues (f Ilernis, tn. influence of Pompadour, and the weakness of Louis XV. those strong reasons for peace were not lineneA to ; the consequence is knov.-n, Inn it 1, not kiwnen that this impolitic 114 alone . prevented the total ruin of England during the following or American war, and preserved. that country hum being what, if we are prudent, it sooner or later must be, an invaluable naval and military station of France, whiclk . shall secure us the Empire of Cie World." Talleyranil then enters into the particulars of the . many irresistible nie.ins, Irance, uuring the peaty, possesses " to foment trou'ules, to spread discontent, to tarnish the honour, to undermine the tesoutAii, weaken the stangth, to lull asleep the public spirit, and to cool the patriotism of dualabta of the tiritish empire, and by a, g. train . of intrigues, insults, dem.inds, insurrections, vexations, snurmurs, alarms, and bankruptcy, prepare even the warmest Enili.h patriot, to see with indiffer ence, if not with apprOativa, an Union with }ranee, which will put an end to all.diMculties, and procure Englishmen the same tranquillity, honour, and happiness Frenchmen enjoy under the lnild but firm Government of the Chid Coasul." " But," says he, 64 powerful as France is upon the Continent by its conquests,. by its influence, by the vigour of its Government, and by the viaories of its armies ; in regard to England it is not in a bettor potation of strength than in 1755, becatt,e, vith the knowledge of our means, aid with the zreal abilities of our Ruler, Ave are unable direetly to injure England, cur navy being snore reduced, and, our naval officers more ignorant than in 115.5 ; but indirealy, and in ,a time of le-ace to lay the infallible foundation for the future subjetlion of Frigland, France at no former period had so many certain and ur.kmbted underhand methods. A war at present may lessen, if not destrpy them, List every year's continuance -of peace shall preserve, augment, and fix them. 44 Ought we not to wait, at least ten years, before the .renew the war with England ? till we are in a condition ea - eaually to support our claims, our views, and our plan, ? The English will do our business, if. we permit them. Their religion is " pleasure, and their pleasure debauchery. They have plunged..themselves into an excess of luxury and. intemperance. They have begun to neglect their Navy, and to disband their artificers, who go to I'rance, Spain, and Holland tor maintenance. 44 While their individuals squander their riches, the State grows parsimonious, and begins to save in those articles on which it cannot be too profuse. " They are even ne.ar.reducing their trivial army, and. their patriots speak of entrusting, what they call their Liberty and Property, to the valour of .1 militia. What a field is this for oar policy? Is it cur business to awaken or arouse them from their lethargy f If we do, tl.e. connutuence is obvious— We teach.tbern.to believe a real truth, " nut they caring.: strengthen. themselves too much by sea or land." Thai an army ceases to be the object of public complaint, of. public dislike—and the people begin to think that, as they must have one, it is bet ter to have ass army of English than of Frenchmen. Then their young nobility will continue to apply thesnselves to the military profession, and think themselves honoured, by. that profession, in which alone consist the defence and security of their COlafttrr. Thi; maybe fatal to us, for the sooner ire go to war, the sooner th:ir effeminacy will wear off, and their aticient spirit and. courage revive. They will not then become more wealthy, hut they will get more wisdom, arbich .is better. The military vir tues, and the manly exercises, may become fashion able,and the nation, which now s , :eivis immersed in . debauchbry audcorruotion, may yet think seriously, and be once more, what it has often been, the terror of Europe. lids is not an unnatural supposition-- they easily glide from one extreme to another— it is their natural temper, and their whole history is one continued proof of it. g.

(Signed) "C. M. TALLEY RAND." PORTO BELLO. The following. account of Porto Bello, in South America, may - be gratifying to many of our_ readers ; panic:lL:trip as there is a probability of is soon changing its masters, and again becom- Lig a bone of contention. The town of Porto Bello, so thinly inhabited, by reason of its noxious air, the scarcity of provisions, and the barrexness of its soil, becomes, a: the time of the galleons, one of the most populous places in all South America. Its situation on the isthmus .betwixt the south and north sea, the goodness of its harbour, and its small distance from Panama, have given it the preference tar the rendezvous of the joint commerce of Spain and Peru, at its fair. On advice being received at Carthagena, that the Peru fleet has itnioeded at Panama, the galleons make the best of their way to Porto Bello, in order to avail the distempers which have their source from idleness. The concourse of people, on this occasion, is so great as to raise the rent of lodging to an excessive deg:re ; a middling chamber, with a closet, lets, doing the fair, for a thousand crowns, and some hu-ge houkes for four, rive, or six thousand. The ships are no sooner moored in the harbour, than the first work is, to croft, in the spare, a tent, made of the ship's sails, for receiving its cargo ; at which the proprietors of the goods are present, in order to fiat their bales, by the marks which distinguish them. These bales are drawn on sledges, to their respective places, by the crew of every ship, and the Money given them is proportionally divided. Whilst the seamen and European traders are thus employed, the land is covered with droves of mules from Panama, each drove consisting of above an hundred, loaded with chests of gold and silver, on account of the merchants of Peru. Some unload them at the exchange, others in the middle of the square ; yet, amidst the hurry and confusion of such crouds„ no theft, loss, or disturbance, is ever - known. Mb who seen this place during the sirup meert", or dead time, solitary, poor, and a perpetual silence reigning every where, the harbour quite empty, and every place wearing a melancholy aspect, must be filled with astonishment at the sudden change, . to see the bustling multitudes, every house crowded, the square and streets en cumbered e with bales and chests of gold and silver of all kinds ; the harbour full of ships and vessels, some bringing, by the way of Rio de Chape, the goods of Peru, as cacao, quinquina, or Jesuits' bark, Vienna wool, and bezoar stones ; others coming from Carthagena, loaded with provisions ; and thus a spot, at uli other times detested for its deleterious speaks, becomes the staple of the riches of the old and new world, and the scene of one of the most considerable branches of commerce on the while earth. The ships being unloaded, and the.merchents of Peru, together with ?tie president of. Penarna, arrived, the fair comes under deliberation : And for this purpose the deputies of the several parties repair on board' the commodore of the galleons, where, in presence of the commodore, and the president of Panama (the former, as patron of the Europeans, and the latter, of the Peruvians), the prices of the several kinds of merchandise are set tied and all preliminaries being adjusted in three or four meetings, the e intreas ere signed, and made public, that every one may conform himself tee keen in the sale el . his &etas. Thus all fraud js'prccluded. The purchases and sales as likewise the exchanges of meney, ate trarsa&ed by brokers, both from Spain and Peru. After this, every one - begins to &pose of his goods ; the Spanish brokers embarking their chests of money, and these of Peru.. sending away the goods' they have purchased, is vessels called chains and h inges, up the river Ch: ere. And thus the feir of Porto Bello ends. Formerly this fair was limited to no particular time.;. but as-a long stay, in such a sickly place, ex tremely affiraed the heath of the traders, his . Ca tholic . Majesty tracomihed an order, that the fair should not last above forty days, reekoaing from thet in which- the ships came to an enchor iu the harbour; and that, ii in this space of time die mer chants could eat agree in their retell, tliose of Spain should be allowed to carry their goals up are country to Peru; aed =online , the commodore of the galleons has orders to ripiruberk them, and return to Carthagena ' • otherwise-by virtue of a eons: pad between. the merchants of .both -kingelems, and ratified by the Jug, no Speeish trades• is to send his h eels, on his °on account, beyond.

Sometimes the tiger, aware of the danger, seems to decline the combat; hut his anta ontst provokes him with a slight touch of the g lance, in .order, while he is defending himself, to strike a sure blow ; for, as som as the creature feels the lance, he grasps it with one of his paws, and with the other strikes at the arm which holds it.
