when we first saw the late dispatches
from France, and found that the language
Of the Ere net: government towards Us, had
AZ last. become as incorporate, as contemp-
uuous, and as Insulting, as her conduct has
uniformly been; when we found the due
de Galore, by the command of his master,
officially saying TO our minister, "that the
| americans are withsuf just political vie,os.
| svitAsm honor and rpithsur cuergy," we
thought that the burst Of public indignation
would be such, that the papers in the pay
! Of France would be compS!ted to remain 81.
| lent for few DAYS. In this We have been
! disappointed. The Aurora and one ortwo
other French GaZettes, continue as firm as
/ ever in the vindication nf the whole conduct
OF tl,eir employer, still insisting tina. we
! have received neither injury nor insult ex.
cep, from Great. Britain. The Aurora is
now most numerically beIaboring the Ma.

is some doubt as to the just and friendly
conduct and disposition Of the emperor and
king towards US There are men in the

employ but in shis,no one exeels NaPoie'
