The following picture Of the degraded ST.
tuation of the modern French is drawn
by one too well acquainted with the SUBJ
icct to be deceived himself, and too ho-
nest to attempt to impose on Others
For copy of this valuable delineation
we are indebted to the American transla-
tor, politician, whose searching eye can
perceive the inbred corruption of demo-
cracy, & whose powerful hand can pluck
offlts deceptive vizor. To- all the recent
misrepresentation in the Aurora, res
pecting the hourishing and happy state of
the French nation, the following plain
narrative is a complete answer. Butler,
somewhere, tells us, ono argument like
matter of fact is" Any thing that jac0-
bins and tlulatics may say to the contrary
notwithstanding, it is notorious to all no.
nest and impartial observers, that the
people of regenerated France are "Poor
and miserable, and bind, and naked"
tits equally notorious that the present
humiliation and misery Of the French
people are the natural and direct conse-
quences of their rebellion from legiti-
mate power, and OF their desperate
schemes, equally foolish and execrable,
of councils of dotards, aud councils Of in
fauts, ofpopular councils of FIVE hundred,
and military councils of million. In
the words Of the orator, they have met
their punishmentin their success-Inthe
words of an inspired orator, they have
sown the east wind, and they reap the
7vhirl1oi,ad. They set up a republican
calfin Samarla, and it is ground to pieces.
They forsook an old castle, and erected
a hurricane house. They are overwhelm-
ed and grovelling among the vile rubbish
of their constitutions; and, until they
repent, and be ashamed oftheir democra-
tic devices, they deserve not the commits
,eration of mankind.

inprobabiity OF which, something may be SAID,
as matter Of amusing speculation for as such
alone we intend it. Such exercises of the mind
are neither unpleasing nor useless. Those who
receive satisfaction from hearing political facts
when they have taken place, will be likely to
read anticipating speculatians upon them with
pleasure; ana those vino feel interested IN the

will feel also interested in hiking oat a had and
Illuminating respectively upon the probable issue
of the business. The conclusion re draw from
