America, which sailed from Cadiz on the 21st of
last, had been obliged on the 31st of that month
stop at Saint Croix, in the Island of Teneriffe; in
order to renew its supply of water, and to disembark

PRIVATE LETTER. •

" Nam AVOMT 13. •
YOU will recollect that N. DE to Recite AWE-
quittei his regiment, in garrison at Fontainebleau; •
come to Paris, the day that M. CANCEL left hii
aing place to appear before the Tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police; and that he there gave the man
used of treason a proof of the warm interest he
for him, in seating himself at his side, as if be
wished to brave the Governmeat. I leave every one
form their own opinion of sech conduct. It is
that the Government would not see any thing in
t a b each of military discipline, and that he has
been put under arrest ; but as the Journals have not
Ationed it, discipline gains nothing by it. littnish-
its inflicted on the guilty were not invented to
torment them, but in their persons to warn others
Against the commist,ion of offences ; it is thereflire
Ming in its object not to give publicity to punish-
it. The Ministry fears to strengthen the party of
Independents in striking at that of the Ultras ;
I it does not perceive that its partiality is precisely
tat adds strength to the former.
All these things place the Ministry on a bid
ground; it will nut enter frankly into the spirit of the
'barter: this it is which weakens and causes it to be
isrespected. Does it fear granting too much to the
tdependent? What does it call tke rights establish-
by the Charter—a concession or a favosr?—
tranting them these is granting them nothing ; it is
rely restoring to them their Mherant consti-u-
-tional rights. The Ministry dreads the Bibliotheque
lisiorique, the Misterve, the nom= Cris, &c. but
dues not remark, that these wurks are only dange-
is, because it gives room for attacks. If it punish-
the Prefects, the Sub-Prefects, the Commandants
Inspectors of the National Guard, who torment
Departments in keeping alive the spirit of revolt
I anarchy—if it would only recognize as good and
ithful servants of the King those who give bright
examples of respect and obedience to the Constitu-
sion—if it would dismiss all the Mayors whose con-
Act opposes the spirit of the Government—and if it
I not suffer the Missionaries, instead of preaching
doctrines of a Goa of Peace, instead of promul-
gating the precepts of the Gospel, to sow the seeds of
batted and discord, can it be thoeght that the Mini-
stry would have much to fear from the writings of
Independents?
" But, say the Ministers, they are evil-disposed per-
ins who preach justice, not to secure its triumph,
it merely to criticise the conduct of Ministers, and
extinguish in the heart of the subjects the respect
lone due to lawful authority. We reply, have jus-
ice on your side, and you disarm your enemies, who
truth are not yours, but merely those of injustice.'
•ou complain of their aggressions, you ought rather
be grateful to them. You are the distributors of
places and favours t expect not the truth front your
pretended friends; they will never sacrifice their for-
Aune to the wish to enlighten you ; they will flatter
,ou to the very brink of the precipice: but your
