FRENCH yICEROY.

The Infamous Godoy treacherously a
bandoned the kingdom of Spain to the
!" love" of Napoleon and the fraternity OF
France. For long time before the ''con-
test for the government" arose between
these two nations, the treasures and the
strength of Spain were devoted to the
will and pleasure Of France. by III
trigues and douceurs France obtains alb
solutc sway over nations that boast OF
freedom, and preserve the forms OF in
dependence. French spies and agents
are stationed near every free government
and we have no reason to suppose that
our own nation is regarded with in'iif-
ference. We have the testimony OF Eau
chet, French minister. which our demo-
Gratis cannot consistently dispute, that
many of our grave, sober, philosophical,
liberty loving patriots have their prices.
If the secret and confidential letters
from France TO certain men in this coun-
try should he displayed for public inspec-
ton, we undoubtedly could form as accu-
rate price current Of democratic patri-
otism, as merchants can in respect to A
merican lumber and potash by letters
from Liverpool.
A short time since, Mr.. Genet. the
French minister who was tie con!iden-
tial bosom friend OF Jefferson and the idol
of democracy during the presidency of
Washington, published pamphlet, which
unfolds some facts not generally known,
confirming the fears Of those who trem-
BILE for the fate of our country. The FOL
lowing is an extract from page IS:
:. It cannot be denied that MIR. Jeffer
son made in France his entry on the d.
i;lomatic stage; he studied, at the court
Of Louis, the art Of Niachiavel, and from
eourtier of the king became a courtier
Of the people; when the fire of the revo-
luton first broke out, the most protuse
doses Of Aattery and adulation were Ia
Wished upon him by the leading charac-
ters at that period; those marks OF res
pect and confidence have been continued
since, and the French ambassador brought
to him and Mr.. Madison, in 1898, DEGREES
of the national assembly, naturaIizing
them both French citizens the written
answer Of Mr.. Madison, expressive OF his
gratitude, his admiration, and his deyO-
ton, was transmitted to France by the
same minister; and the bloody Robes
pierre, who opened that letter. was very
much pleased at his ciyism, Mr.. Jeffer-
son, an older fox, took care himself Of bis
answer"
These two philosophers now have all
so!ute and uncontrolled dominion over this
i'll fated country. He that questions
their infaIlibiliiy, or doubts the wisdom or
exped;ency of any Of their measures, is
denounced an old tory, not by those only
who use street language. and cry Go up
bald head. to every revolutionary patriot.
but even Gerry calls it rebellion, and
hints ut exile and cOnfscatisn as, the por-
ton of these who will not cease to declare
that French influence has infected our
rulers. and that it is increasing, and ought
to be diminished.
