Tut last Paris Papers contain a decree 4! from

State Priseners—which, while it displays the
WON of despotism with which France is ruled—
' most forcibly calls to our recollection the days of
the heaven-born PITT and Governor ..4sers. 'this

,years under the gentle regime of Governor A era,
in the Cold Dath.fiekls Bastile, were finally dis.
charged without-trial, and without recompense.
Painful as is the contemplation of a whole people,
who, after having made that noble straggle for
liberty at the commencement of the French Re,
volution, have now sunk back into the fright cc
slavery—this lesson will not be Without its use, if

Tug American frigate, John Adams, is yet
waiting at Cowes fur the Dispatches of Mr. Pt ,
NEY, whose Negociation with Marquis WELLES.
LEY, notwithstanding the repeated reports to the
contrary, does not appear to be yet brought W a
conclusion. It is believed, that the recent con-
duct of the French Government towards America,
will produce an alteration of public opinion in
America, by which the accommodation of the dis-
pute with this country will be greatly facilitated.
