RICHMOND, NOVEMBER 9. laio.
FOR THE ENQUIRER.
THE NEW FRENCH SYSTEM.
The Face of Europe presents the stran
gest scenes of Revolutions. The Monarch*
change as often as'the Moon. Posterity will
scarcely credit the rapid revolutions, that
we have seen. For, French Crown* circu
late almost with ns much ease a* French
coin*. Monarchies have lost the quality
which distinguished them, fietfictuity-:&
Kings are just ns changeable as the inagis_
trates of republics. In the latter case, it
is the people who choree them-in the for
mer, it is cne man. the Emperor of the
French.
The most extraordinary powers are in
his hands • Like Warwick of old, he kings
and unkings them, at his pleasure. He
moulds mnnarchs, as H ikers make bread— I
but it is remarkable that his Hatch of I)e.
puties improves every day. for every dav
improves his penetration, and sheds light
upon the character of his Representative.
First, lie made his selection from his own
family-Joseph was king of Naples, Louis
of Holland ; Murat his Brother in-law, but
it man of nerve and genius, was mere Prince
of Bei*g. The other brilliant chieftains,
men of nerve and distinction like Murat,
were honored with Cordons of the Legion
of Honor ard with titular distinctions—hut
they were not tiusted with the reins of Em
pire. Bcrthier was only Prince of Neufcha
leHr.nnd Bernadotte Prince of Ponte Corvo-.
. By degrees, the Emperor’s system seems
to be undergoing material changes. Geni
rs and Services arc now better titles to his
choice than blood. He who is the “ author
of hifcscl!. may at last come to “ know no
other kin, titan tricots asd attachment.—
His Chieftains will plead a claim to more
brilliant rewards; the countries around him
will require more vigorous talents to m uld
them to bis views ; and all the struggles of
his unrelenting foe. to defeat his continental
System, will demand a more vigorous p over
to enforce it. Under such circumstances,
N.ipoleou has but two resources : either to
incorporate his Allies with his Empire, or
place a move decisive monarch at their
lie ail. i
}n Asfde$, we behold a firm and enter
prising sing-Joseph was removed 10 the
throne ot Spain, and Murat filled his slip,
pers. What is the consequence ? Vigour
succeeds to effeminacy. Naples which had
slept under Ferdinand, and even under Jo
seph, has revived. Her naw is recruiting
—and her army, of *0 or 50.000 troops, is
now posted on the strcighrs ot Mussina, un
der a young heto, who menaces Sicily with
invasion, ard Sir J. Stuart with disgrace.
In Holland, the arm of government was
weak-little alacrity was shown to resist
the expedition of Walcheren-and the
smuggling of the English was carried on to
an immense extent. What was the effect?—
j Mon Frete Louis was un .kinged-and
j his kingdom is now united with *thc french
! Ertipiie.
I In Sweden, we have seen r.n eminent
French Marshal Bernndrute appointed as
Crown Funce, or Heir..Apparent of the
Throne—in truth, the monarch of the coun
try. .
Prussia 13 alreaily named as the future
empire of Berihiev, anoiher French General
of eminent talents-v/ho takes the place
of the House ol Brandenburg
Denmark htrseli may share in these gen
eral revolutions
’ru„ n— _ ....
*• •* >" oiu'vu may giace me
brow of Ma-seoa-and as to Spain, there
are speculations afloat that Joseph will he
recalled ; and liis diadem either melted in
to that of France, or hr ken into pieces for
the remuneration of the other Marshals and
Generals of Napoleon.
These revolutions are calculated to pro.,
mote his views—the resources of these coun
tries will be more actively called into requi
sition for his service—Sc hough it is possible,
that some of his new marshalled monarchs
may conceive so ne of 'he Extxrit du fiays
lor the countries which they govern, yet they
will always look tothe source, from which
they derive their power, as a source of pro
tcciion against the disaffection of their sub*
jects.
In relation to England, these revolutions
jnre cm hus indeed. The Continental Sys
tern will be more rigorously enforced. Her
smuggling commence wifi be abridged by
French Viceroys or French Troops. Hoi
land has become a den of danger. The
Southern shore of the Baltic is now travers
ed by a line of Troops, who have visited
Itostock, Wismar, and Konningsberg, and
are expected in Mcmel.
Preparations are ever spoken of fora des
cent up n Heilgelantl, an island about 11
leagues to the N. VV. of the mouth ol Elbe;
a bom 9 miles in circumference-the vast
accumulations of British property there, may
invite the destructive power of the French
•-but even should the attempted expedi
tion fail, Heilgetand wi!! hereafter prove of
much less value to the British, as an entre
pot of smugglers, in constcpience of the pre_
cautions on the continent. Let Mr. Perce
val boast again of the immense Exports of
tG.’B.-o* what consequence will it be
I asked, whether hi- goods'are in iJnf_laml
i or //er/rculand ?
i Another coifdirioa spring* from these
circumstances—if Great Britain does not
]respect our righ'sbefore the 2d of Februa
ry, a nonJntetcouse on our part, if it brri„
gidhj inforced, may probably bring hrr to
bin senses — a sense of her own interestc
and a sense of justice.

New Orleans, Oct. 3.
FLuKllA.
We find that the rumor of last week, (as
it relates to taking the fort at Baton Rouge)
to be true. Young Mr. Grand J}rt died ot
the wounds he received a short time alter
the affair. Gen. Thomas commai d«, and
we are informed, is at the head of me ex
ecutive. Gov. Lassus being in close confine
ment. The greater part of the Spaniards
made their escape, and number? of them
have arrived in this ct y. At first there
was danger apprehended from the people
■of the Amite and Coinite, but when the
mail passed every thing was tranquil, pud
active preparations were making for de
fence. The convention, under whose orders
General Thomas has acted and continues to
dot, are determined on supporting their in
dependence.
We are not able to state' with accuracy
the reasons why the convention deposed
Gov. Lassus. It is said it was in coiise
quence of his procras inatioiv cf some exec
utive acts, and that he intended to impede
the progress of the new system until he
could receive force from Gov Folch to de
stroy it in toto.
Oct. 5.—At the moment our paper was go
ing to press, we received information that
Gen. Thomas (matched with ^00 men; as
mounted infantry, on Tuesday evening last
from Baton Rouge for the district oi St. He
lena, to establish order, and confine ail tlio-.e
who will not subscribe to the powers of the
convention We hope that Mr Brown,-tile
commandant of that district, and Gen Tho
mas, will accommodate their disputes with
out bloodshed, and form some kind of govern
ment, which is infinitely better than the an
archy with which they are threatened.
We are informed by a gentleman in this
ci‘.y of respectability that the people ot
Springfield, a town building at Bonkter’s
Landing, in West Florida, nave erected a
fort, and named i' Ferdinand, for their King,
and that they are determined to oppose Gen
