expedient, he trinees both the pent 4y of 'his treasury
and the littleness of his mind. The premiums
which he offers are contemptible. Sordid and ab-
:lea indeed must be the mind upon which they could
have any influence. Narrow and sorJid must be
theman whocould hope any effea from such an offer.
This article is therefore interesting, in a military,
moral, financial, and political view. Itiis a convin-
cing proof of a poor Prince and a beggarly people.
BON AAAAA Z feels this to be a just inference. If
not, why has the article been kept out of his Oficial
Moniienr, and not suffered to be seen in company
with his pompous decrees of his imperial appoint-
ments of Lords and Ladies of the Bedchamber, and
all the other caricatures of royalty, by aping of which
he is now exposing himself to the laughter, ridicule,
and contempt of the world.
The Maltase has, for some weeks, given the
other French Journals the signal to abuse and at-
tack equally Russia and England. The demi offi-
cial Gazette, the Journal des Drtrnseurs, has taken
the hint, and in a paragraph, which we this day lay
before our readers, attempts to alarm Europe by
our conquests in India, and those of Russia in
Persia. _ _ .

With its usual malignity, another French writer
throws out hints, as if Mr. Pt EILIMPOINT, our Minis-
ter to the King of Swcritst. was intriguing in Ger-
many, whilst, in &a, the Sovereign to whom be is
appointed to represent our nat;on, has, for ten
months, resided in that country. We should not
be surprised, if BON•rA ITC would finally have the
impudence to propose to Austria and Prussia the
exclusion of our Ministers from these Courts, or at
least. to mske use of the names of a COBENTZEL
and a HAtGWITZ, as he has already of a Pitmen of
PIIACT4 to calumniate and misrepresent their aitions,
and the particulars of their secret conferenses.—

Such diondat is worthy the revolutionary Emperor,
his revolutionary Counsellors, and his revolutionary
Gazetteers. _

A letter from Folkstone, dated July 30th, which
we have just received, says, " There has been a good
deal of tiring off Boulogne this morning; but, owing
to the hazy weather, see have not been able to as-
certain what has occasioned it. General Moults
and suite sailed this morning in It cutter, in order to
inspee into the enemy's prep irations. The Brigade
of. Guards that were at Chatham are encamped OR
Barham Downs. Nothing else material here."
A letter of the 27th, from Dubl.in, says, " The
gloomy prognostics of last week stem to have gone
by : except the bustle of the troopsimarching to tca-m
on the Curragh, we Are perfectly quiet, and rebelli3n,

" At an early hour, yesterdly morning, the 4th,
or King's own Regiment of Dragoons, and the 12.11
Light Dragoons. marched t > the encampment
formed at the Curragh. We understand that by a
simultareons movement rf all the troops intended
to form the ramp, they will arrive on the ground
_nearly at one time."
The discontent in Holland is great beyond desctip-
: tiara, among all clasies of the people. not ,ncepting
either the Members of the Direetory, or the soldiers
of the army, all equally desiring to get rid of use
French yoke. The consequent distrast is so grcA4
that French. Grenadiers govern at the Hague;
French Artillerymen occupy the batteries on the
coast; French Officers dialate in the Tezel ; and.
at Utrecht, where fifteen thousand Frenchmen
are encamped, they have been joined by only
3,000 Dutchmen; all the others being dispersed in
garrisons, where there are five subinas of BON a-
►serr. to two Bavarian citizens. From the lOth to
the 'lnd Ma. f.. 4000 French troops have passca

the misers' of the people is still greater than in
