FROXI Tug GAZETTE DE FRANCS.

Nil reliente.— In every kind of business, tlet is the
motto of the wise. Happy for mankind wasp it be-
comes a maxim of state for those who ere eel/et to
the government of empire, ! It should sera, copier
certain restless spirits and impetieet puliticietts, tlat
they think to pronsete the felicity of a nation reilelree
no efforts. They will not perceive that the prier.
City of a country cannot be the work of 4 day, utiles;
that care be taken to render the duration of that pre.
sperity longer than the period employed in prepariog
it: they neither consider what France was, nor %vie%
France now is : they do not reflect that the slit:l:eh;
which is in all cases experienced in doitee geed, is
here augmented by the evil which has elreatly Lea
done. Their precipitaticn will not allow to rtud.acl:
time to canine, to Reason the faculty at choosing,
nor to Expel-kr:cc the opportunity of i ureter
illation. How profound in their conceptioes, erompt
in their judgments, ardent in their wiebie.! GliC
may ask these Gentlemen--bad )ou, during a limit
silks of years, administered a rich and megnificent
estate, in which, after a long absence, you tind eta •
your return the land laid wage, the houses deorcyed,
and the plains sterile, would you at once rebuild new
editices, cover your uplands with wood, and 10W al
your fields? More wise and circumspect, would y' u
not rather take care that each of these labours shoele
be performed in its turn? Yatt would study ai.ew
the ground, you would consult the season, and above
all, you would he far from expecting that harvest
should precede cultiration.—Can it then be different
with the Government of a country over which 25
years of revolution have passed ? It belongs only to
the wisdom of PROVIDENCE to create and to rep use:
human wisdom sees the good, desires it, prepares it,
and advenres slowly towards it, in order to reach it
with the greaterecertainty, but enjoys no repose until
that object be accomplished.
To regulate our progress according to the extent
of sp.tce through which we have to pass, is not to
walk too slowly ; neither do we grasp too little when
we hold merely that which we with to preset ve. Suet
moderation, in.leed, no longer suits our tim.s, and
yet what recent examples have we not had of disee.
trous precipitancy ! Have we not seen ever thing un-
dertaken, every thing hurried, and every thing lost ?
There is a time for forbearance, there is a time for a
just firmness. That is not too late which does not
rive until wanted. A skiltul watchmaker makes it
his first object to understand the springs which are to
form his work. He collects them, observes them, arid
regulates their movements. The watch soon beers
to go ; every moment it receives scene improvement;
at length, regulated ir: all its parts, its motion equals
that of time. When all the parts of the Empire shell
li eve come, in their turn, under the attentive eye of the
King, and have been the particular objects of his pa-
ternal care—when his wisdom and his informaticn
shall successively have caused commerce to ti
shall have restored to the Magistracy its lustre, shall
have secured the privileges of the people, and :ball
have caused the French Flag to & resitectd 07 the re.u, as
all Euriree already !inflow s and respects her stand irds
—then shall we know how much vigilance end acti-
vity, if the expression may be allowed, belengs to this
judicious delay. Then, henceforth, enjoying hap-
piness which'will be durable, because it will be the
fruit of time, experience, and reflection, we will re-
peat, while we bless that ancient maxim of human
prudence—Do nothing hastily—Mire/stele.
The public Journals of Germany assure us, that
the plague ravages Servia and Bosnia: Stalk) have
died at Belgrade. The Austrian Government has
taken every precaution to prevent it from p:netrain
into Hungary.

A Pamphlet entitled " Manair thltresid to the King
in the month of July," appears to be trite of the writtligi
which have attracted the notice of the French Govern.-
, ment. M. Carnot, in a short letter, says it WAS pub-
lished without his consent, and coatrary to his mte3-
don. This may be very true, but it will not acquit
him of the offence of being the author, which is thus
indirectly admitted. The title of the wick rung thus:
" Memoir, &c. by M. Carnot, Lieutenant-General,
Knight of the Royal and Military Order of St Louis,
Member of the Legion of Honour, of the Institute
of France," &c. The Journal des Delius contains a
critique upon it, from which it arpears that the fol-
lowing are among the passages of the work considered
must objectionable :
" Tbey were tio: the regicides who voted for the dealt of the
King. No; they were close rueaways who bay.: taken 0104
against their mother country. The others voted this
Judges con-tituted by the nation, anti who are uet accountable
to any person for their jotientent."—Again.
" If the Judges of he King have brio wrong, they have been
wrong with :he whole nation, whit.h called tor the j:idynlca:,
anti a, terwards atlher/tIEO it by (no:nand' of Anitiresstb :Nat O:
Commuoes "—Aral again,
" Iney have been wrong, with all the nations of Europe eha
have treated with then "

The writer in the Journal des Debati comments tipoo
these anJ other p.is:ages as he proceeds through the
woik,which he censures in very strong terins, ►in. id
a recrimination than a defence—and, in point ~f 4r-
gument, totally unworthy of the reputed talents of
its author. It is obvious from this explanatioo, that
Cirnot is the regic de alluded to in the Paris l'Apers
received on Saturship

A Dutch Mail arrived this morning. Nothing of
tie proceedings of the Congress at Vienna has trans-
; at least nothing is known in Holland on the
su'•,ject. The Dutch Papers have now ceased to amuse
us with prnsp:•cts of the amicable settlement, at Ghent,
of our differences with America ; and have now dis-
covered that General Ross and Admiral COCKBURNE
are the Plenipotentiaries with whom only the wicked
and short-sighted Rulers of that country must now
make peace. It is gratifying to learn, from the above
Papers, that ROSTOPCIUN, the heroic Governor of Mos-
cow, has not been dismissed from the service of his
country : he merely regnested, and received permis-
sion, to retire into a private station, on account of
his great age, and ill health.
If we might be permitted to express our opinion
from the very slender materials which the foreign
Journals present to us, we should be inclined to anti-
cipate a rupture between Sweden and Denmark, and
that at no distant period. Sweden demands an in-
demnity for the expenses of securing Norway by force
of arms ; and Denmark, on the other hand, stoutly
demands her indemnity for the loss of Norway.—
Now that the diplomatic correspondence on the sub-
ject of the latter country has been published, it really
does not appear that Denmark gave the smallest en-
couragement to the resistance of the Norwegians,
and it is therefore with a bad grace that Sweden
either withholds the promised indemnities, or de-
mands payment of the expenses of the short war
against Norway.

The CROWN PRINCE of SWEDEN, it would appear,
does not visit the Congress of Vienna. Perhaps he
was not invited, and this may have soured his dispo-
sition generally towards an amicable adjustment of
all differences with his neighbours. The Km of
iNtimaik, on the other hand, has been speciallyiin-
vited to Vienna. We recollect well, that %RNA.-
horre, the Crown Prince, while at Brussels in spring,
last, took it in high dudgeon that he was not sum-
moned to Paris to assist the Allies in negociating
with the Bourbon Princes, and hung back with his.
army on the north bank of the Rhine.
LEYDEN, OCTOBER 7.
A letter froth Hamburg's of the 28th ult. says, that
the teport is confirmed which had been circulated for
tome days on Change, " that the English had taken
possession of the Island of Bornholm and the im-
Vregnable fortress of Christiansoe." The same letter
adds, that though the King of Prussia has engaged
to endeavour to procure the King of Denmark an in-
demnity for Norway, besides Swedish Pomerania, it
is presumed that Sweden., which still occupies Pome-
rania, will not give it up till she is indemnified for
the expense of obtaining by arms the cession of Nor-
wan whiCh his Danish Majesty could not effect in
conformity to the Treaty of Kiel.
