"ONE of the chief tauter of
obr profririg ^ by taped
eoce it, that we badly compre
hend iakfifons. Indeed it it said,
that men never grow wife by any I
experience but tbtir own ; be
cause, perhaps, no other is well
enough uodeiftood. The aftoni&
ing revolution in Paris, of the
4th September, 1797, will form
a great article in future history—l
know few of its tircumftances
andciufa, but to thole who will
not wait long to make up a finii<
judgment, we offer the following
remarks : %
" The Directory, confining o'
five perfops, and the Legislative
Councils, inferring IQ:oof Am
ican Senates and Representatives,
disagreed. The Difedor,, hav
ing gained the armies, had it in
thriir power to decide the dispute
byeforce, audit was decided by
best of drum in half a day.—
Then was easy to obtain from the
new modelled Councils, after one
third were banished, laws and re
solves to keep the beaten party
down and to assure the people
that their political fdvatioß was
once more accomplished. Which
party was right, or whether either
fcij&d for anything but power
is left to time and the wife to de
cide* There is, no dcubt, much
of mystery in most po^kal affairs ;
arid those of France have long
been deemed unhchomab'e.—
Like other men of common learn
ing and underftioding, we can
only compare *§£ we do. Now
how would it be in America.—
in Paris pear sixty Rgprefentativei
and Senators, and two of the five
Ditedorr, are funned out and bao
ilhed, in half an hour to die of the
yellow fever on the - Coast of Afri
ca—how would futh& thing pro
ceed in Americ(s ^WJ
" Here a law must firft be pas
sed, describing. the crime, and
pointing cut banishment as the
punifoment. Then i grand and
petit Jury must decide on the @l
- fokmnty and plainly, charg
ed and defcribed^-und if either of
the Juries Should detide against
;he wishes of the Federal Gov
ernment, the laws would fay to
our rulers, 1% rhp, far (hall ye go,
and no farther." But in France,
joftice goes ty the feat of drum,
and much quicker. ! Now which
is best, AmeficapLbtrty, or
French ? Some hafe heretofore
pretended to doubt. ;
" One great line <rf difference,
and immepfcly important it is, lies
here, that all power fa France ac
