The objectionable part of the General's conduct is deemed by
Aristides to be, his annoying- the Bridsh.ptiklic with criticisms
on Buonaparee's conduct, and not enjoying the liberal gifts of
his friends in cootentment and silence; now I think no-Erigiiihs •
man ought to deem the General's conduct intrusive, wham.
withoqt foe or reward, he spontaneously affords to this country,
the information already laid before it, which, being added to
further he, no doubt, has in store, -would be considered by Mi-
nisters
of this country of that importance, not only to insure Um
an asylum here, but worthy sinister recompence ; was he the
man calculating cm the mercenary idea of pecuniary remunera-
tion or preferment as a reward for his labours, and did'not de-
precate the idea " of losing in the estimation of the world"—
and here let me ask, if he wished to p.m, a double ga re, would
not his tempOrary revenge towards Buonaparte be equally as
much satiated, by conveying privately to the Executive PoWer
alone, that information without adding publicity to it ? Wotiltt
not silence towards the public answer his purporebetter ?' Th.
yes, for by the latter be would rather decrease than-increase the
hatred of Buonaparte, by divulging those secrets to the few„
which he is now doing to the many, and by 6' Antirrepubligan
wiles and cunning" might return .to appease the latter's reser-
Mem with information as important as that he had revta3ed
I• re. Bence these public essays of the General ought, I think,
to be considered as testimonials of gratitwde for the protection
he receives, removing all suspicion of half measures, and afford-
ing the best security he will not, cannot, betray Iv:, but with the
sacrifice both here and in France of every honourable principle
dear to man. In short. I do place so much confidence in, the
public conduct of the General, that I should think my country
more secure in him co-operating with its warriors in battle (an
eminence he so sincerely and hotrourably aspires to) than hir-
.
housing here so near a relative of the disturber 'of Europe, wh•
i: receiving such impolitic patronage.

Is now .
k may be said, a man should not war with hip native Wig
from private resentment to his Prince ; this position may be 'al-
lowed, when the conduct of the latter is in unison with the
feelings of the nation ; but in my humble judgment, a man in the
character of General Sarrazin, knowing tkat not to be the case
in France, and wishing to free his countrymen from the bondage
they are groaning in, is not precluded from temporally turning
his arms against it, to accomplish so glorious an act, and,
for a great good, to do a little harm...
Knowing, as we all do, the instability of Buenaparre's throne,
such an idea of the General's will not be deemed chimerical.
To conclude, however culpable General Sarrazin may be; in
di Buonaparte in his unprincipled and tyrannical measuita,
I aiding
it will be seen in him,
