The London Magazine for April, 1784, contains
the following contrafl between the condudl of
Monday last the Marquis de la Fayette arrived
here from New-York. He was met at lome distance
from town by the city troop of horse, a number of
officers of the militia, and other referable inhabi
tants, who had the pleasure of attending him some
miles, and escorting him into the city. At the cof
fee-houfe a croud of people waited for the pleasure
of feeing him, and to pay a small tribute to his me
rits ; this compliment was returned by the patriotick
nobleman, who seemed highly pleased at once more
receiving those affectionate marks of regard from those
whose caule he had long since advocated, and by his
exertions contributed not a little to the establishment
of their liberties.
Great-Britain and that of France.
" While we are engaged in miserable feenes of po
litical intrigue and party discord, while the highest
characters in the empire are meanly employed in the
traffick of fadion, the king, ministers and nobility of
France, the natural rival of England, are exerting
their powers to make that kingdom the mistress of the
arts, and the emporium of the world. In every
branch and department of science, in all the great pur
suits of a great nation, in the promotion of agricul
ture, the improvement of their manufactures, and the
cultivation of the country and people, they have de
monstrated the most liberal and extensive policy.—
While our presses have produced nothing but pam
phlets and hand-bills, libels upon individuals, childish
wit, or inflammatory appeals to the populace, their
presses have been nobly employed in productions
which will live forever, and which are standards in the
art of printing. When our learned institutions have
been waisting their time, and degrading their charac
ters, by factious disputes about places and individu
als, the societies of France have been giving noble
countenance to every promising difeovery, and have
promoted experiments in phyficks, and in the arts, by
the most liberal encouragement. 1 he court of France
has set a grand example to the country to alleviate
the rigours of the season; the court of Britain has
been too much occupied with the factions of the sea
son to listen to its calamities. France at this instant
is increasing her marine, restoring her finances, abridg
ing her expense, relieving her people, detaching squa
drons to every quarter of the globe, dilating to every
civilized nation in arts as well as arms—and we are
calling one another names, and quarrelling about pre
ferment."
