THE MOST ESSENTIAL MINE' OF VIEW FOR

A Frenchman, and a thorouglioAced Frenclimsa
said lately to one of our friends in Mayence, " Ire

Nothing will persuade the French that they Are not
the most amiable, dryer, dexterous, brave, noise,
magnanimous, generous, faithful, and adura is
people on the face of the earth f This favourati.l
opinion of themselves completely pervades the low
and the high, the young and the old of both sexes.
Wt have no objection to this belief, if they wish to
serve us, for so long as they obey they make the most
obliging servants that can be walled for. But they
sent rule; they imagine themselves specially called
to exercise a sort of guardianship over koripe.
What they wish is nothing more than just—they wish
merely to occupy the place which belongs to th-m,
nothing more. So long as a certainundisputedand
substantial preponderance is denied them, ti,ey c

Colonel Labedoyere was apprized yesterday, at
half-past one, of the rejection of his appeal. He
asked three hours that hi might write some letters,
and make arrangements respecting his family affairs :
he afterwards conversed fur about an hour with the
Abbe Dulondel, his former preceptor. This respec-
table ecclesiastic, for whom Labedoyere had always
professed a great esteem, bestowed upon him all the
consolations 'of religion. The Abbe had, in fact,
seen the criminal every day during his imprisonment ;1
and it was to his exhortations that Labedoyere was
indebted for the courage with which he met his fate.
At five o'clock he presented himself at the wicket of
the prison, and said with firmness, to the col-
lected .in the court-yard--" Let us go, my friends."
He quickly ascended the carriage, accompanied by
two Officers of the gens d'armerie, and his preceptor,
who never quitted him. It is said th.tt his family has
