TOUR 70 FRANCE:

TO THE EDITOR OF Mt SUM
Lana'an, Nov. zo; igoi

SIR,

SUBSEQUENT to my furnishing you with the
Letters which have appeared on the Subjea of an
Excursion to France and Holland, some farther
thoughts have occurred tonic, which I have thrown
together in the form of a Supplementary Letter.
French Military Men are as firmly persuaded that
So,oco men, once landed, would make a conquest
of Britain, as an Englishman is, that, at any time,
one Englishman will beat two Frenchmen. They
found this opinion on what they term the analogy
of History ; saying, that from the time of Junius
elcsaa, down to that of the Norman Conquest, we
have never effeaually opposed Invasion. They
Say, that independent of the multitudes which would
flock to their standards, allured by the expeaation
of
he plunder, and charmed with French Liberty (they
themselves cannpt avoid smiling on using so thorough.
ly ridiculous a term), they would beat every army
that opposed them, in detail, and march, direa, to
London, to complete the subjugation of the Coun-
ttry. The supposed difficulty we experienced in

From such uselesS kind fastidious luxury; we turn
away with pleasure to contemplate the benevolent
and heart-affeaing labours of the humble, intelligent
Abbe SIC ARD, the venerable and respeaable In-
struaor of the Deaf and Dumb. In explaining the
system of hiS predecessor, the celebrated Abbe de
l'Ep!E, he equally interests the feelings, and cap-
tivates the understanding, by the obvious simplicity
of his system. All-he aims at, and which he com-
pletely effeas, is to enable this unfortunate descrip-
tion of human beingS to hold intercourse with so-
ciety, through the medium of reading and writing.
The infinitive and tenses of verbs, he communicates
a knowledge of by an ingenious combination of va-
ried motions of the hands and head. Simple and ab-
straa ideas he inculcates on the minds of his scholars,
by a reference to the various objects and appear-
ances in Nature. He' made an experiment that proved
the efficacy of his system. He opened a sook, the
leaves of which had not been cut. A stranger pre-
sent pointed out a passage in French and English.
He called forward one of his pupils.
.The Abbe
communicated to him the words, one by one, by
signs. The scholar wrote them down in both lan-
guages, and afterwards wrote, logically, the dis-
cilia propositions contained in the passage. I left
Paris impressed with more respect for the character
and talents of the- Abbe Sic ARDi' than for those of
the Hero of Italy, the Organizer of Republics.
In the Church of the Invalids are displayed near
eighteen hundred Standards: BoxApaPTE's name is
pompously written under those captured by him.
Among these Standards, two English only are to
be seen. The names of such Officers and Soldiers as
have distinguished themselves in action, are conspi-
cuously recorded here. The recording of brilliant
actions, thus constantly meeting the public eye, will •
be attended with national benefit, as long as the mi-
litary cbaraler is actuated by a love of glory.
The variety of sCenerv, and the beautiful aspect
of the former Austrian Netherlands, take the lead
of every similar description of country on the Con-
tinent. Switzerland exhibits the sublime in Nature,
and cannot enter into the comparison. Were Ito
select a city to reside in on the Continent, it should
he Brussels. Here von find some degree of freedom
of conversation. The Inhabitants declare openly
their attachment to the House of Austria, and that
dire, imperious necessity alone, makes them unwill.
ingly submissive to their new Rulers. The Arch-
duke CHARLES'S name is, among these well-con_
duCted people, enthusiastically adored. BONA-
PARTE may proceed from town to town, and, to
impress us with a sense of his wisdom and know_
ledge, way have set and previously studied speeches,
prepared to deliver to Public Bodies, Manufaaurers,
and Merchants; who, in return, will address him
in terms of the most disgusting and fulsome adula-
tion, but the genuine sentiments of millions will
find no place in this farcical comedy, so often exhi-
bited for the amusement of Europe.
I looked at the works forming at Boulogne. The
object seems to be to Shelter Frigates from bom-
bardment or attack. The melancholy consequence
will be, that we shall have an additional harbour
to block up, or blow up.

The Dutch apologize for their heavy chains by
saying, that they yielded only to overpowering
numbers, and that their attachthent to the HOUSE of
ORANGE is unshaken. They bad an option proposed
to them, either to be deemed Inhabitants of a Con-
quered Country, or to pay Ten Millions sterling for a
nominal Freedom. They adopted the latter, and the
sum is but partly paid. The Dutch Patriots (as they
are properly called) in the French Interest, are avow_
edly inimical to every thing that regards England.
You see the huge, unwieldy beings of this descrip-
tion, seated before their doors, smoking and drink-
ing gin, calculating and reckoning; with earnest
Wishes, for the speedy arrival of the day that will
complete the ruin of England. One of these amiable
Citizens told me, that we had only nominal riches,
all Paper, and no solid Wealth. I observed, that I
had not inclination or leisure to enter into a foolish
discussion with men whose minds were splenetic and.
hateful, but that I would b t the amount of-all the
Tobacco and Gin in Holland, that it the hundredth
part only of our Paper Circulation was issued by the
Diredory of French Holland, it would, in twenty_
four hours, be at a discount of 75 per cent. for want
of capital, commerce, or confidence to support it !

The French have; at all times, been remarkable
for making discoveries. They discovered, on mak-
ing Peace, that the great River of Indemnities, and
the Alps, constituted the natural bounds of France.
They have recently discovered, that this boundary
lies to the southward of Parma ; and it is v*Jry likely
that the3e, discoveries of new limits will at last ex-
tend to the Gates of St. Pttersburgh. BONAPARTE
told the world, that the death of PAUL, had rendered
abortive " vasts projkls." The subversion of the
Turkish and Persian Empires were, in all pro.
bability at least, two of them. We should then
have found the maximum of French discoveries
placing the natural boundary of France beyond Ben-
gal, somewhere in China, probably near the Yellow
Sea.—The Arm of Providence continues visibly
stretched out, guarding this favoured Land, and
our beloved Monarch on the Throne. We have not
been wanting to ourselves. Let as be true to our-
selves, firm and united, and bid defiance to our ri-
val, whose unnatural aggrandizement will soon pro-
voke a powerful Coalition of united interests,' or fall
to pieces by its own weight.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
A LOOKER-ON.
