It is really curious to follow the Frtnd
through perufal of their various, M i
nifeltoes, declarations, &c. &c. on i,
hottie appearance OF England = becauf.a
the very midlt Of their gaiconades, v.
find, mortified pride, &ruggEng to con.
ceal itfelf under the earb oflneuaee.
The fenate Of Paris aGsrts that's tn.
French Conful will not luf:r the EaelA
dominion in the Mediterranean"
This is fpccies Of arrogance, which
can be compared only TO Cauu,e The great,
placing himfelf in chair on the beach d /
the Tea, and ordering the waves to reced. +
at his command.
They then 60 on, and tell their Cori. |
cao ruler, that +" his moderation has BEEN
70 great, tina, il had need of being PIC.
tetted by his glory"
Here we fee man whole impe.uoity
carried him TO fuch unwanantable lengths
under his own root, and (urroundsd by Bis
own guards, TO the Englifh ambsaador
on discovering the check to his ambition,
as to obljge him TO withdraw, and de.
cline all further interviews. A man who'll
chagrin betrayed him to the nobles Of Eu.
rope, and, whole manifea vexation could
be equal!ed only by that of a girl, Whole
playmate had oefroyed the fabric Of bet
baby houie.
But to proceed with thcfe fapien, lena.
tors; they add, /" The Chief Conlri conf.
ders i. gloyisas, on this occaion, be
taken unawaTcs."
II this is true, is i, not frange, that
man hould appear Differentiated with bis
glory ?
Now, let US for moment view the
addfefs of The t,ibanate, conveyed BY
citizen Trouve to the Chief Coniul.
g The Government has lhewn i.leli
ealm-it remained baDfve to travotafi's,
becauie it was itrong in its kyoly.
The ealmaeG and 3egEvezeE OF this
mott injured government, we have alre''
dy touched upon, but, it yet needs a
comment on is loyalty. This addTel'
being Immediately to The perfon OF the
Chief ConiuI, we find it ysrn;lhtd win
royal exprellions. Legally is the lncencs
Offered 10 the crowned monarch, and 10
it is defined by the ablef photographers
Again, Citizen Chief Conlal, gl'y
feemed for you to have exhauaed all bet
gifts"
Louis the 18th never received greater
adulation, or more fuifome pan:syiick'
1t fecms, however, to be the food in'
Conful preys upon, as we find by MS an.
fwer. !,
We, anfwcrs the ConfuI, are forced
to make war to repel an nnju!t ags'e''
iion. NE will make it Nth gloy."
Now qve, Americans, fay, that Mo-
narchs always fpeak in the plural 0rm'f''
when fpeaking of fhcmfclves--as we'd f'l :,
know from the various proclama'ionS ,o'
George to Us. during our itruggle lol lie
berty.
The Conful concludes his condeicena'ns
anfwer in thele words:
Whatever circumstances may be, eOS
fhall always allow England to let the eA. \.
ample in violent proceedings, contrary
to the peace and independence OF nations ! I.
and ii will receive from us the example %
modtyanou, which alone can maintain ~
cial order"
we, again zoe Americans, have nss -.
