Late Foreign News
INTERESTING.
The following ?ery ircterefling paragraphs mefind
in one of our late London papers—taken from a
Paris Gazette :
The aftual situation of Paris produces
more uneasiness t^n hopes. Some
look to the future with apprehension un
der a government which ought to give
them confidence.. It is no mere than
a phantom. Others look to the Jac
obins. Their view is more correct.—-
The firft movements in the South are
with the Jacobins, in fad they are the
1 sparks ofa civil war. The temporary
wants of an army, the fufpenlion of its
victories, the necessarily flow regulation
of the finances so long disorganized, all
emboldens them, all leems to accelerate
the return of their power. They Style
with tranquillity at the inquietude of
the people, at the dangers of the coun
try, at the labors of the government.—•
What they loft of ferocity in their coun
tenances, is centered in their hearts.—
The faftion of the timid increases their
confidence ; that of the indifferent is fcr
viceable to their plots.
The firft are determined to approve
of nothing, the second will have no o
pinion, conceiving it to be useless.
The one forgets what it has done,
the other fees not what it may do ; and
the timidity of the former, with the
impolicy of the latter, contribute to
the lethargy of the public opinion, at a
time when at least we ought to entertain
a hope.
In the midst of the inundation of
flattery, of solicitations and aniendes
honourables, a pamphlet entitled—* 66 a
Letter to Buonaparte" is privately cir
culated, and of course read with the
more avidity, to which the author
would not be so audacious to affix his
his signature. His objed is plainly to
let us fee the inconveniences of a Repub
lic, his means to employ Buonaparte to
re-establish the throne, and his projed
to restore Louis XVIIIth to the Sov
cignty4 He fees only two orders in
France, the Noblesse and the Tiers Etat.
If no impression is made by the solidity
of his reasoning, the fancy at least may
be aroused by the originality of his
manner.—The following exaniples ate
only taken at random.
" Fourteen centtiries of existence, of
aggrandifement, of prosperity, and of
glory, prove at least that all was not
bad in the monarchial fyllem. On the
contrary, three eonftitutions, sworn to
and dissolved in less than eight year!,
attefl the futility of Philofopical Con
ceptions. Men are not governed by
written laws, but as far as these laws
are conformable to their manners and
their interest. 4 . #.,
' " If we look only to true policy, we
may write in one line the Hif|ory of the
, Romans, and that line would be as fol
-1 lows :—
"The Romans were punished for
; their ingratitude to. Serving Tullius, by
the Republic ; and for their Ambition,
by the conquest of the world.
" Hiflory fays that they were free !
Ido not believe it. It fays that they
Were covered with glory, but were the,
happy ?—Read on—
"If we could fora while give tip
the indefinite word Liberty, to substi
tute for it that of Happiness, all mat
of sense would soon be of one opinion.
It Was an easy thing, for a few days, to
perfaade the people, even under the
scourge of Robespierre, that they were
free ; but all the address in the world
could not make them believe that they
were happy.
" Revolutionary Politicians will ex
claim, that there can be no happineli
without Liberty. So much the better ,•
Only try to make Us happy, and the#
we ihall be free."
In order to make Peace, according
to this Author, it is necessary that the
French should give a guarantee for the
future ; and this pledge or guarantee
he can only find in a Monarchy. The
following is the language in which he
preaches this doctrine to Buonaparte.
Reflect a little, Sirt In effecting
the movement of the 18th Brumaire,
(Nov 9) you solemnly promised Peace,
arid France depends upon it as much
as if you had promised her Victories.
But, I mull apprise you, that it is not
by new Victories that France can arrive
at the promised Peace ; it is by Nego
tiations, it is by a ftablc condition that
she can find at once repose and happi
ness. If you do not give it peace you
will lose all your consideration, and if
you do give it pence, you will lose it
Hill more-—The People do not calcu
late the powers of a man : When the,
give him die name of great, they re
quire every thing of him, as they de
grade him in proportion to the dispo
sition they felt of bellowing on him
their esteem. Our destiny is linked
with the fate of Europe—that is no
doubt a happiness for us ; but remem
ber well, that you are no longer per
mitted to fall into any errors, that Val
our is a thing beneath your reputation ;
that in a word, nothing remains for
you but.glory.
" Glory does not rest with those who
shine in revolutions, it solely belongs
to those who put an end to them.
Glory does not corifift in overthrow
ing the Kings and Ministers who gov
ern Europe ; that is easy to be done;
but much of it would be derived from
giving repose to the Universe, and hap
piness to France."

HARTFORD, MARCH fl.
kntra& of a 'otter from a gentleman in Philadalu
pbia,to bis friend in Conneaicirt.
"You have doubtless noticed the pro
ceedings of the Legislature of Virginia.
They seem now to have organized a
fyflem offlate oppaJition to the measures
of the general government. The al
teration in the mode of choosing Elec
tors of President, and Vice-President,
will probably issue in an unanimous
vote in that state against a federal ca
didate. A circular letter is already
issued, containing a nomination of Ja
cobin Electors.—- For the purpose of
giving a more general* circulation to
their principles, and to all publications,
which tend to excite discontent amoflg
the people, they have set up a new pa
per, called, “The Press" —the motto—•
" Gongrefsfoall rhake no law abridging the
Freedom of speech, or of the Press." To
secure ample pecuniary funds for car
rying on this business, a fubfeription
has been opened for Shares, which a
mount to zoo, and are already taken
up by the leaders of the party. “The
Press" is to be under the especial patron
age of Governor Munroe, and is to be
the" principal i The other antifederal
presses in the fevers! Rates, are to be
denominated Branches. All are to co
operate and to derive aid and coun
tenance from the general association,"
REMARKS.
A number of thfe Virginia papers were sent 4
little time Jinee, gratis, to sane people in Litchfield,
in this fate, to tbs number cf about ten.— Two *,
them happened to be federalißs, who answered the
Virginians as their impudence and baseness deferred.
The others submit in flense, probably feeling them-
Celises honored by the notice of tfcir fatbun ma,ere.
Among those zobo had the papers sent tb them ire
