Tli E. TRAvELLEtt AButlr p.knis.

(No. XX.)

PARIS, OCT. 14.

It is difficult to conceive with what countenance
the highest authority in this country could stand
forth to offer marked insult to the British Army.
But the insult has been offered, and the ground
for it is, that the Monarch has been menaced.---,
,
The key to all is, that the Monarch' is a French-
man. I otPigue for sincerity, ingratitude for manly
-remembrance, contempt of the friend whose ser-
vices have ceased to be necessary, and servility
to the traitor Whose hatred may still be an object
of fear. This is the national character ; and with
this dye the nation is tinged indelibly through all
its ranks, up to at least the steps to the throne.
Whether- the (lye is to be traced on the draperies
of that sanctuary, 'must be told by the Duke of
WELLINGTON. I would have sent you his letter
on the Royal conduct, but :from presuming that
it must have reached London before my mention
of it. The French hate England as their ancient
rival, that has become their present conqueror.—
They hate the British Army as the instruments Of
their immediate shame, buh nothing of their ha-
tred, until this eclaircissement transpired in open
insult. 'their homage was even disgusting: front
its assiduity. Unlimited praises on the habits of
English life, the magnificent fabric of British
freedom, the matchless discipline of British troops,
were mingled with offensive comparisons of the
Allies.

. In two days after it was told that the remon-
strance of the Br,tish General was answered by
a complaint and a harangue, the opinion of Paris
underwent- a total revolution,. and the ‘vhole elo-
quence of patriotism is now expended. on con-
trasts of the fair and umtisguised host ility.of the
Prussians and Russians, who, if they robbed them,
said they came to rob, and the insidious hypo-
crisy of the English, who, paying fur every.thing„
had yet sonic secret scheme to plunder all. This

sounds absurd. But to argue with a French po-
litician is among the idlest wastes of human rea-
son. The genuine source of the irritation is the
disgrace and trampling down of French renown
by the power of England. This prisons all. in-
tercourse, this sinks like a sword into tlieir
and they cannot move a fibre without writhing at
the pain. The national vanity, always rash and
ridiculous, but in its day of trinronh mingling
desperate and merciless wirkedness. with grotesque
ab•nrdity, is now, like a wounded snake, muti-
lated and crushed, but in every fragment stung,-

gling with an enraged, though meagre and mi-
-1 mite %,itality. The Frenchman feels himself dis-
graced as a man of France, he ,has no means of
redeeming his self-respect, but by taking all op,-
: portunities Of insolence as an individual. A slave,
and marked- with the stripes of recent punish-
, menr, be has the eager effrontery of a slave when
the whip and the chain are for the moment taken
froth before his eye. The pretext for the irrita-
tion was, the removal of the Netherland Pictures
from the Louvre. Some of the higher diplomats
here are understood to have objected to the
want of dexterity in the removal. This study of
smoothing► down active measures by the Covering,
of a little wily finesse, is the mere trick of Courts ;
and the precise evil which has given the most se-
rious blow to the British respect in foreign al',
fairs. To make fair 'demands, and make them
openly—to support them with the strength which
England has in argument where it may be re-

ceived, and in arms where force alone cAis secure
justice, belongs to the nobleness of a great na-

tion. To cover right with pretext,. and attempt
nothing but by stratagem, has been too usual in
diplomacy ; and this meagre ;:dmision his natu-
rally raised an outcry against the demand, which
thus must take the shape of a spoliation. It was
suggested, in this stile, that the Belgian troops
should be employed to require the Belgian pie.;
tures. The effect of this must have been, to give
the idea that the British were either afraid to pro-
yoke the French, or that they washed their hands
of the manifest plunder committed by their Allies.
The report that the Btitish had declined interfer-
ing, had already excited. both opinions in Paris,
when their theories were suddenly broken off by
the apparition of a British detachment opening
the doors of the Louvre. The Politician would
have let the indignation of the enemy fall on
.the
Ally, the Warrior cared nothing for its weight on
himself, felt that as the Commander lii Chief
equally of the Belgian and the British army, the.
finesse at best could not have lasted above the
day, and that, where the act proceeds from the
same individual, the Fmnch did not deserVe the
coMpliment of his making a distinction in his
instruments; Whoever might have made the sei-
zure, it would have been equally the 'act of the
131Itish General-7a coat red or blue would even-
tuAlly have made ug difference. Tile Tcault of

• • • .
ic,icatiz)g at :di ulftatly been to give the po..
pulace a pretext for railing at the British; the.
results of further hesitation would have been, to
impress them with the idea that the British Ge-
neral found his situation too perilous to venture'
on provoking the nation ; and this idea, properly
fostered, and falling on the unextinguishable ha-
tred of this worthless people, would have, in all
human probability, Foduced a general insurrec,
tion. The conduct of the British troops in France
has been worthy of their name and of their dis-
tinguished Chief. No act of violence, no private
injustice, no idle insolence to the public feeling,
has been, alleged against. them ; examined with
the eye of an unsleepingjealousy, they have not
given ground for a single complaint ; and, if there
was required an evidence of the superiority of ate
British mind, it might be found perhaps more
distinctly in the deportment of those quiet men in
the cities of their enemies, than in their gallantry
when they met them in the field.
