We are no friendsll777:Wposed objects of the
Holy Alliance, nor to despotism in any form, whether
in principle or practice ; but we cannot, without min-
gled feelings of disgust and alarm, observe the tone,
the temper, and the abusive epithets, which are daily
employed by our contemporaries in their animadver-
sions 'on the internal regulations of Foreign Powers
with whom we are at peace, and in whose dominions,
and under whose protection many thousands of our
countrymen are at this moment resident, whose fortunes,
liberties, and perhaps their lives, are so wantonly placed
in jeopardy. These reflections are called forth by an
article in the Morning Chronicle of this day, wherein
the writer is pleased to say, " That Political Coxcomb,
" the Autocrat of the Ritssias, ha', it seems, issued an
" edict to compel the Jews to reside in the interior, as
" they are the persons chiefly engaged in smuggling."
Then, after blaming the inspolicy of not discouraging
illic;t commerce in the most effectual way, by reduced
dutie,, as in America, the writer proceeds : " But this is
se the way the world is governed ; and yet this poor wan
46 trotted about the metropolis and Paris, looked at
" everything, and no doubt believes what he has been
" told, that he knows everything."
