FRANCE

US, that violence, Remuneration, and the striking
OF OF heads, are acts inconsistent with and des-
tructve Of republican freedom. The genius Of L.
berry flies from intemperance. The French Re-
Voution, occasioned by oppression, has ended in
amIitary despotism more awful to her and menac-
ing to the world, than any thing by which it was
preceded In France, Legislation is a mockery-
1hrre is no party but the party Of the emperor,
who by nod creates and destroys. And every
one knows that there is there such thing trial
by jury. The emperor appoints the judges, and
the Judges, without the Intervention of an institu-
ton so admirable as that Of jury, in alf cases
decide. And as to the press, which is licensed
and superintended by lcensers, its Office is appro-
bate and euogile. Add to this awful spectacle,
an army n France Of six hundred thousand men,
and then .et the reader ask, whether the mind
Can admit of an idea Of tyranny more complete
Externalle, the French government IS equally,
perhaps ore alarming, Kingdoms and republics
are with equal ease and without remorse, thrown
down. Blood begins to flow in Spain, where the
monarch, first BY French intrigue, and next by
French force, has been d,ipcsed Whether the
world, including our own republic, is to be an
universal monarchy, under the dynasty Of the
BuonaPartes, isyet to be determined

manure spoiled Goldfish would answer, there
will be no lack this summer.

A letter from Ma6eirayv Of the 9Th Of April
(rccccived via Boston) observes, General Nj
Tanda's visit to London, and the arrival Of Sir
Sidney Smith here in the Foudroyant and Aga
nemnon, with gun brig, loaded with rockets,
and other implements Of destruction, seems to
induce belief, that he is bound direct to the
Brazils to take the command The British 60
vrrnment would not send so active an officer to re-
main idle Buenos Ayres and Monte Viedp, you
may depend, viii receive another VISIT, ere long,
as preliminary to operations gilmore importance
