The recruitment of the French Army, just at
this period when RevolutiOnary.characters have
obtained a predominant influence in the French
Cabinet, is a circumstance that seems to have
excited alarm on the Continent. It is in two
respects entilled to particular notice, as it shews
that Revolutionary feelings and. views are preva-
lent in the French Co-insels, and it seems fully
to contradict the rumour that the Allied Army
was about to wi(hdraw. For what. purpose
but that of mischief can the French Army
be augmented at this time. It has .been well
observed that it does seem to be the intention of
the French Government to rid the army of all Re-
volutionary Spirits, and to augment its moral as
well as physical force, by enlisting such men as-
are loyal and attached to the person of the Mo-
narch. No—it is not likely that such tnen would
be selected by the present French Ministers.
They would most probably rather select the re-
volutionary Banditti who are practised in the am
of overwhelming the legitimate Governments, and
enriching themselves with the spoils of other Na-
tions. The fact is, whatever this new recruit-
ment of the French Army may he stiled, it is.
in reality a Conscription, founded upon the same
principles as the Conscription of the exiled Usurper,
and therefore the Allied Powers must be besotted
indeed if they could have thought of removing
their Armies from France before the limited pe-
riod, or even then, unless the country is free from
the controul of Jacobin Ministers, and the King
in Such an unfettered state as will enable him
ro chose his Counsellors from men of real
loyalty and honour, not the corrupted re-
mains of a banditti of Regicides and Myrmi.
(lions of a Usurper, who, instead of being per-
mitted to wear titles and bold a rank among an
ancient and revered Nobility, ought to be driven
from the country, if not brought to the infliction
of national justice.

In our observations yesterday upon the mis-
conception of The Times, respecting a supposed
improvement of rhe,principles of the Catholic nen-
gion introduced by the Reformation, we did not
think it necessary to notice the reflections which
the Roman Catholics bad thrown upon the me-
ntory of King WILLIAM in their Address, which
gave occasion to the remarks of The nines.
History has recorded the Character of that
King, and this Country enjoys the blessings
resulting from 's reign ; but with all our reve-
rence and gratitude for that august Monarch, we
cannot agree with The Times when it says,
scend to a Mt•Cil less Personage,'' mentioning
Mr. YITT. If the Writer means a much less Per-
sonage in point of rank, the observation is hull-
ctously ; but if be means in intellectual
power, we wholly dissent from the des-
cription. King WILLLAN saved this Country
by restoring it to itself; but Mr. PITT saved

" to de.

this Country, and, by tire soundness of 11':;
licy, and his firmness in supporting it, helcl .
the deliverance of all Europe. It may
questioned, if, with all his military talents, I°l-:
WIL=LtAk, placed in the exact circumstance 9 ►;
which the immortal PITT was able to give an
ample of legislative wisdom and ministerialPuritY'
without a parallel, Wonld have been able to seer.,
,
with equal success the same important, essenuse.
and vital interests of this Country and of all Eurtr.l'
