A Letter from the Hague says, " Many of the
richest persons in this country are preparing to
escape by emigration, to seek in other climates a
country less exposed than this to those vexations
and impositions by strangers, to which we have been
here so perpetually subjed during these last nine
years, and which become so insupportable, that all
taaions, all parties, those even who arc mutually
the most opposite in their opinions, agree in loud
imprecations against a Government to 'which outs
is subject} by its weakness, and since Belgium has
become a part of France, by fatal vicinity of con-

PARTE. ! !!''

The total disregard of national customs, which
has been shewn by the French General at Malta, is
of
.4 piece with the whole system of France in its
treatment' of other States. General VIAL is sta-
tioned at Malta, as Ambassador to the Grand Mas-
ter, not to the Island ; it is therefore his duty, ac-
cording to the established etiquette of Courts, to
attend the Sovereign, wherever he may be. But
General VIAL, instead of going to De THOMASI,
in Sicily, invites (and the world pretty well knows
the nature of French invitations) the Grand Master
to attend him in Malta. Such a violation of na,
tional usage, such an inversion of reciprocal duties,
would excite surprize, if it did nut result from a
Revolutionary General.
