EXTRACT CFA LETTER FROM PARIS, MARCH 22.

. .
" The French. Revolution has not respected the
Atiquette of Courts more than it :has the. Laws of
Nations. Ambassadors Irvin-Independent
.States
have been arrested; without cause, and released
without af)ology ; nay, insult has sometimes been
added to the offence, and, strange to say, it has
never excited amongst the Diplomatic Corps, any
other feelings, than apprehension for the individual
safety-of each of its Members, and a silent pity for
'the viffims of ,the violateci.LawS of Nations. By
.this impolitic conduCt, . die Representatives of
Emperors and. Kings hove accustomed. Upstarts to
treat them with .in pertinenee and insolence, and to
hold to them, at the Courts of the Luxembourg and
Thuillieries, the low language of the Bar, or the
haughty and cop:man/ling language of the Camp.
" In former times, even when Wars or Conspiracies
forced the French Monarchs to order any Foreign
Ambassador to leave the Court, or the Country,
Anger did nit; get the. better' of ..Dignity; and the
offended bevel' forgot :that the Wendt r was the
presentative of an Independent Prince, his equal in
ran,t, if not in power.
" These remarks I heard yesterday, when I dined
with the Count DE M- who very justly
observed, that some new Diplomatic Regulations
are absolutely necessary, and either all'other
pendent States must..adopt the Revolutionary laws,
language, and eonduet of France, or force France
to fix the period when it will again acknowledge
and respect customs, and etiquette, ac-
knowledged and respeded by all other States and
Nations of Europe;
~ind that until such a period,
Charge d' Ajaires should be the' only persons' em-
ployed in Frayce.
"—You ask me if I visit the Foreign Ministers
here, and if they are men of Diplomatic Talents ?
I have the honour qf the acquaintance of all the
Mintiters from all the
.yet Independent Nations,' and
most of themare growniold in Diplomatic employ.

stet :_Exiled by PAUL. I. he was recillied by the
present EMPEROR, and sent' as his Ambassador to
Paris :..Accustomed to the polite etiquette of Courts,
the. Revolutionary one in France surprized and
offended him, and a$ he did not conceal his send.
Inents; the French intriguers at St. Petersburgh,
much wished his .disgrace ; they were, however,
disappointed :--his great abilities, and his-past set'.
Vices, were not forgotten by such a Prince as
ALEXANDER, who told his Enemies, that Count
MAR CUFF 7//llit either remain where he if, or re.
eturime the place he occupied at home, at the death of
the late EMPR ESS :—this answer silenced them at
once, and he is at present hated' and feared at the
-fhuillieries, but honoured and esteemed by the
whale Diplomatic Corps.
