We are happy to find by tome of the fast tettert

The conduti of the French hats been Wet-long
wherever they have aektended their power, that it
is by
,no means surprising to find synipion3s of re.:
sentment breaking forth in all those who have been

released from their tyranny. The German liapct.ti
give some indication of this sentiment, 'whiCh are
nut unworthy of notice. It apprars, that during
the Polish. war a gallant Officer, narnt,d ScittLL,
was conspicuous in several resolute itallies from
Colberg, which were not indeei4 important inithere
result, but had at least the died of annoying the
common enemy. This same Officer is now 'at Berlin;,
and since the French evacuated that capital has been a
great, favourite with the people in general, which has
been demonstrated even by Milliners and ToY-meni
who hare had their respetli%e articles de:igrtamd
a la SOW, and such a popular imprinitztiii has...oc-
casioned an ample sale. Another instance of a dlr.

ferent kind,. but proceeding, ftotti the same princi*
ple, is mentioned in the same Journals. It scents,
that shortly after Prussia fell into the bands of the
French, a contemptible work, under the tide of
Vertraute Bricfe, or Familiar Letters, .was published
in their favour. This infamous production grossly
flattered. the French, 'and basely maligned the old
Prussian government, recommeading a partition
'and 'sale of the national property, as one of the best
financial meaiures that could be adopted. As earn,
as the French departed, the Anthor of this .despieo .
ble publication, VON CoLax,''' who, to incierlie that
enormity of his offence, was a Counsellor of'.War,
was arrested in Silesia ; but what shows a greaten
degree of spirit in' ttie Prussian Government than
was to be expaied, the order for the arrest of this
traitorous Parasite was issued before the French had
aaually quitted that Province, and, according to its
express words, was to take place when the enemy de.
parted. These instances may be considered ns
a test of the fe,:lings of all countries which the
French have invaded, and the very circtilostaixe
of their having been inserted in the Getman. Papers,
may be considered as the attestation of a spirit .
which wants nothing but opportunity to break forth
in vigorous salon, against the Oppressor of Europe.

A vessel called the Buosia Fee, is arrived at Pen.
zance from Whoa, from whence she sailed w the
loth February. She cleared fur a frendipoit, and
put into Penzance in n leaky and aitnat;ed
She has on board 120 bags of Spanish stool;
brings no intelligence from Spain. Bilboa was 'poi-
session oflhe French; and thu people of the place
had, for some time previous to the sailing of aliv
Burma Fee, bad been deluded into a supposition that
Cadiz was also in the hands of the enemy, together
with the Fleet.

We are glad to find that tho.aceident which has
happened to Sir'iM4l4s FeARIX is not so 'bad as ie.
ported in a Mottling Paper. He fell trona 'a ladder
