3ntrrfsting Political setscfllang.
From The Independent american.

An exhibition Of Facts, in which is brought
into view, some Of the most prominent
principles and transactions Of the French
Revolution together with the eject and
Influence they have had not only on the
French patton, but on the civilized world
which IS submitted to the consideration of
the American People in general.
The French revolution at and for some
time after It's commencement, was celcbra-
ted ~ the advocates Of chlmercal liberty,
as The very quintessence OF human wisdom
the glory Of an enlightened age the most
sublime effort Of Political jurisprudence.
NYe were loudly called upon to contemplate
the magnificent spectacle, Of great nation
rising as one man, and decreeing themselves
free; and we were particularly charged to
v-nera,e the mild splendor Of a phe-
nymenon hitherto unknown in the annals OF
a guilty world--the phenomenon Of blood
less revolution. Soon, however, the scene
changed and the inf.del tyrants, weary Of
their unnatural, lamb-hke mask, almost as
soon as they had assumed it, impatiently
dashed it aside, and commenced a series Of
massacres and Prescriptions, worthy of
SNllA or a Marius. At an early period Of
the revolution in France, the fraternity Of
tie illuminated society, took upon them
selves the name Of Jacohins, from the name
OF a convent where they held their noctur-
nal meeting They then counted three
hundred thousand adopts, and were sup
ported by two million OF men scattered
through France, armed with torches, pixies,
and all the necessary implements OF revolu-
ton.
Until the 18th Of August, 1892, the
French Jacobins had only dated the annals
OF their revolution, by the years of their pre-
tended liberty. On thai day when the
King was carried prisoner TO the temple,
afterhaving been declared to have forh eel
his right 10 the crown, they decTeed that
liberty and equality in future, should be adj
ded TO all public acis and the decree it
self was dated the fourth year oflibe,ty, the
tirst day and year OF equality. On the ooh
day of the same month Atheism was estab-
lshed by law decree was then passed,
ordering he Clergy, both Papist and Pro-
testalhs, to leave the kingdom. Rut with

the ornaments Of the Miniiters houfe, a tranf-
parent picture, Handsomely Illuminated, was
exhibited in the front, representing the Amer.
lean commerce entering the ports of RulIia,
aud orIamented with an imperial crown over
the initials of the Emperor. This diiplay was
deiigned by the minilter as complimentary
fymbol of the harmony fulfilling between the
two nations; bur, unfortunately, il was milf
underiaood by a few perfons in the crowd,
which furrounded the door; and the minilter,
10 remove any poiiibIe caule of di14tisfaction,
ordered the lights to be extinguiihed
While this was doing, A young man die
charged two loaded piitols into the hou(e, and
the balls paffed near the perfon of Mr.. Daich-
koff The company having retired from the
drawing room, 70 the upper room, were not

NO. ".

The Origin, Progress, and Issue q 1ur'
ERsKINE's arrangement
WE have already shewn that his famous
arrangement originated in several PROPOSE
tions stated By Mr.. Erskine, to be the re-
suls of certain conferences with the mem.
be-s Of our cabinet; and that so tar from
being the cause of nezu oHsace, thes. pro-
positions mus, have been presumed by Mr..
Canning to have been acceptable 10 our mi.
nissers. To disprove this point, the mem.
bsrs OF our Cabinet have assailed the dis.
contented and disgraced minister, MIR. En-
skine, and have induced him to make some
explanatory concessions. These conces.
sions, published by our Government in their
own vlndication, must according u NIL fair
rules Of construction, be considered most
strictly against themselves: and we deduce
from them most nsquivocal proofs, that
Dir. Canning had right 10 draw the infer
encss which he has announced.
MIR. Erskine's letter Of the 18th August
is brought forward as the apology OF our
government, and as calculated to prove that
MIR. Canning was not authorised to presume
that our government would accedr to the
three conditions stated in his letter of in
structions. The contrary inference may
most fairly be drawn from Mr.. Erskine's
letter. His letter consists of two distinc,
parts list. His statement of what he had
actually communicated to his own govern
ment ; and I'd. His declaration of what
were his own private impressions, when
drawn out by the denial of our ministers.
Upon the first condition, which imported
that upon the repeal OF the British Orders
in Council, we would withdraw our Nom
Intercourse as it respected Great Britain,
and Psrsevere in our non intercourse with
France and her allies, Mr.. Erskine states,
that Mr.. Madison assured him that " the
United States would at once SIDE with that
power agciAst the other which nigh. con-
tinue its aggression" .~t
Upon being pressed now, after the affair,
to explain himself, he says, that he never
considered this to be preliminary coudi-
ton, because he knew that the president
had no such power without the concurrence
of Congress. '.-.-. :. - =
This, it must be RENE mbered is Mr.. Er.
'klaes private opinion Gfser the d;savowal,
and Is not stated to have been made known
to his Cabinet. This distinction of Mr.. Err.
sk'ns, soPhlst'cal and absurd enough to be
sure, Is the same which Mr.. Erskine &c.
up IN hi. own defence in the Gazette of the
United States, where he says, that he could
not Have presumed that a B-isi.h M;uister
was so ignorant of the American Con..itu-
ton as to believe that the presiden, had such
a power. ....l.'. 49,. ~
This very argument proves, that he ne,er
stated this distinction to his own Govern.
ment, but presumed that they would under
stand u themselves. The whole Of this rea-
.onlng is however bostomed upon an error /,
