Preientad him at the fame time to the Empe-

ter many 'favours on him however, at the
committeeman Of the French Revolution, he

" We have nothing new to communicate from
this quarter, except an increaling difahe6tion a.
mongt the natives. Our harmlefs conoref;
feem peacefully difpofed as ufIal, let whatever
dangers or infnlts threaten; and by their AMIGA
bic meeknefs, this country, the rcheft and by
far the mott valuable part of the u. S. is left to-
tally unprotected, and liable to incur all the e.
wills refulting from the Vaccinations of difcon-
tented citizens, and the invafon of Jealous
neighborng foe. The effective number of all
the United States troops in all Lower Louifiana,
does not amount to 500 men. What pity that
iuch pulianimOus government filould DoGrefs
tuch country as iris ! They do not deferye
III. Their objectionable neglect has drawn on
the administration and on the government in
general, the fovereign contempt of its inhab
tants. Pardon the feverity of thefc remarks.
They flow from lively fenfe of our expof.d
and unprotected iituaton. We will fend file
OF papers containing the extraordinary proceed.
ings of our heterogeneous Legislature. A bill is
now before the houfe to introduce or rather TO
make the French language the only one to be
nfed in all public bufinefs and fome very in
luentia members have gone 70 far as to G4v in
private circles and caucuGes, that the KNOWLEDGE
of the Englfh language by native of tine comn.
try ought TO be confdered as flfficient to diff.
qualify him for office. A law has ALTO been talk
ed OF to prevent foreigners from marrying ma
tyes of the country, under a relideDce of 7
years. Thefe things are ridiculous in them
felves. They ferve to f!lew the ignorance of
their authors, but they ALTO ferye to fflew their
inveterate and irreconcileable dif4feetion to-
wards the government of the us. From theCe
considerations, and kaoqVing that large port.
on OF the natives Of the country would inned-
ately rally TO the Randard of any ia7adi0g fe.
and having our and our feelings daily inilll;
&c by the groeft and MOT contemptuous abufe
of our native country and its government, good
and happy beyond parallel in the hiftory of
man, we do not believe that our remarks are
too fevere respecting the extreme remihnefs of
congrefs.
