The FrencA Pesble-@lf the faction at Pa.
ria which directs the destinies of the natioa
can promptly be called the peopie--trom
tigers appear to have Become as tame as
lap dogs. They do not seem able to re.
collect, that Ceaeral MORGAN the Idle of
the Revolution, has been impeached; tried
and imprisoned for the self same act which
has immor,allzed general Bonsparte, viz.
that o ouertArs1ptng a government zehich he
&sLke6, and gooer,Rng in his stead. but
Morcau is execraleel, while Bonaparte is
surfeited with hattrry and homage. Such
are the weak materials OF which the erIight-
ened people are made; and they who trust
in ther1 " swan with hns of lead. -
How longis the reign of Napoleon f.
Emperor OF the French TO continue? Is a
question frequently asked. The answer is
rot easy; but we see nothing incur French
papers which looks like Dissatisfaction
with the new order of things, or ike dis
loyalty. The incense offered to the throne
of Bonaparte appears equally as pure as that
burnt at the alter of the Bourbons and the
new and gorgeous titlesappear to SIT easy on
the WearefS.
tits true, the original ofthe Imperial ia.
mily IS obscure but history assures as,
that this circumstance is no bar to longevity
of power, or extent of immortality. The
Parthen kingdom lasted nearly 500 years
in the family Of Ascases, an obscure man,
whom the troubles Of the times threw into
the sovereignty. A Potters son of SYRIA
cuse, becameby chance, its tyrapt. The
son of hair dresser, by intrigue and MUIR
der, attained the crown of Gangarides. -
Bala, petty shop keeper, succeeded De-
metrius on the throne of Syria. Antipater,
Amasis, Codon,anus and Arte1erxes, from
common soldiers, became sovereigns of
Macedon, Egypt and Persia. We could
quote thousand other instances in which
fortune sacrificed hereditary right TO her
caprice, and in which, as if ashamed to &C.
knowledge the imprudence OF her choice,
she perseyered, and gave perpetuity to her
error"

Madrid, June ooh, 1804.
The treaty / am sorry to say has not
yet been ratified by this government so that
my hopes on that score are at an end.
s" If our government does not take some
decisive steps, we shall never get shilling
from the Spaniards.'
The above extracts are from letters writ
ten by very intelligent gentlemen
The blessed effects of the Louisiana bu.
siness begin to shew themselves:
In remonstranoes from the inhabitants of
that country to our government; and,
In the rejection of the Convention late
" catered into by our minister at Madrid,
withtae Spanish government.
The specific reason given by Don &C.
vaAos, the Spanish Minister, for refusing to
ratify the Convention was, that " the ac-
" cession of Louisiana had so varied the
Sc relations Of Spain and the United States
!" that he could not rasify the Conyen-
!" tion."
Our 1payEke cabinet are on the horns of
another dilemma-The British have de-
mandcd the restoration Of the ship Eugenia
lately captured by the British ship Lean
der and recaptared by fishing smack, arm
ed for that purpose.
