To-day we have given some (Unbar extracts from
the irench Papers received yesterday: they contain
some entertaining matter.—The only allies who now
adhere cordially to BONAPARTX are the Americans
or rather the atheistical diabolical faction in that un-
happy republic which owns JAMES MADISON as. its
liege Lord. The French Government, having now
no means of silencing their enemies in the field—
having no armies, no finances, no morale, no materiel,
they resort to the musty old revolutiodary trick of
libelling the British nation. In France, our troops
behave well, and, with the exception of the Cossacks,
so do our allies. PLArore's light troops, however, now
and then excite indignation, by robbing a courier with
dispatches I—The " Emperor-Journalist, or Imperial
Libeller," as M. SCHLEGEL calls him, has therefore
nothing to say of the conduct of the British troops in
France. Lord WELLINGTON takes care to see his
humane proclamation put in force. But in America,
alas ! bow changed the scene
The Moniteur gravely copies a report edited under
the inspection of Mr. Mammon, by a Mr. MACON, a
Transatlantic Legislator anti Interpreter of the Laws
of Nations to the sublime Sanhedrim or Statesmen
and Philosophers which occasionally -assembles at
Washington. In this document the British are
charged not only skith decoying American' seamen
into their service, but with subjecting to rigorous ira-
Frisoument -all those who will not be thus seduced.
66 Thereby (says the learned Mr. MAcoN) will-the
naval force of Great Britain increase in proportion
to the number of our sailor's who shall be impri-
soned." And he emphatically adds—" Great Bri-,
tarn has thus the means of continuing and even ex-1
tending her commerce, without diminishing the num-
ber of sailors employed on Wad her men of war."
Bravo ! Great Britain-- we commend her policy.
We &lave here the secret of the hostility of the Atm.:
ricans to Great Britaiu. How much will it be increases
when they learn that the ‘vhoie of the Continent is
open to the British flag and shot to the American !
plaiu English of all tot-se grievances is this—,
the Americans have no longer city or.anc, of couist:
they have no employment; for seamen of sober and'
decent habits; ansl.-thesi-poor fellows prefer a life of
industry at sea to one of idleness on laud—they pre-
fer navigating a vessel under neutral colours to con-
finement in x prisoniships This is what Mr. Macon
calls ,g illicit trade." -It is, is shots, ibe 14 war in
disguise" which his immaculate Government has
been carrying on against Great Britain for twenty
years. The tables are now turned upon them....-that
is all.

The fifth and sixth articles relate to what is termed
cruelties practised in -the war in Canada. A Dr.'
ICEMAN, an American practitioner in surgery, was
sent, it seems, to take care of his wounded country-
men what became of him we are not told—whether
he was intercepted himself, or only his man °SAMAR
with the catholicons, we know hot; certain it is, how-
ever, according to the Ameticati statement, that he
never reached his patientS. ills was a matter of
triumph to the English, according to this malignant
and stupid blockhead ; for he boldly insinuates, that
it was regarded as very good policy to hinder the
American Surgeons from giving assistance to their
countrymen, because the Savage Surgeotu have a more
sure and expeditious method of terminating their
sufferings."

An idiot* capable of hazarding such nonsense upon
paper, scarcely deserves an answer
The charges against us for employing Indian allies
with Indian principles of right and wrong, are appli-
cable to the Americans themselves—their arguments
on this subject cut both ways.

A woeful picture is drawn towards the close of this I
document of the "turpitude" of the Euglish soldiery,
.pd the meek unoffending nature of the ighabitants,
of America,

The most serious and awful calamities which can
befid humanity, may be so narrated as to excite the
