French Barbarity.
To give the reader some idea of the inhu
man barbarity of Frenchmen, we copy the
following from a little work written in Par
ris in the year 1797, during Robespierre's
reign.
French Barbarity.—A peasant at Ache
court, a village near Am*?, came to sell
butter in the town. As she walked along
the streets, she met a carl tilled with victims
who were going to txecuti .n. “ Those
people,” said the poor creature, ** are put
to death for a very trifle.” She was instant
ly seized and led to the tribunal of L-bon.
During her trial she held in her arms h>r tn
fant cpf thrte months old, whom she suckled.
When she heard her sentence of death,
“ What !” said she, " am I, for having said
one single word, to be cutoff from my poor
little dear forever.” W hen sue received
the fatal stroke, the milk issued tapiuly
from her bosom, and mingling with her
olood, bathed her executioner.—load.
The Non-Intercourse.
Never perhaps was any thing more gen
erally disliked than this orphan child of
Ms. Embargo. It was an orphan m the
strict meaning of the word, for soon after
its J>fa died, its Pa (Jefferson) became poli
tically defunct, and the poor miserable iant
ling was exjKjsed to the sneers and buffet
