from the different treaties entered mo

imadver:;ng with great severity upon the
abuses Of those principles BY England,
in consequence OF her naval superiority.

ty pcrusal, to give the following sunma-

We learn, by enc Of the gentlemen
who arrived in the Meteor. that tie A
mcrican war had occasioncd no political
change in France. Tae Berlin and Mi
ian DEGREES stll remained in full force,
and an American vessel was condemn.
ed under them as late 90 June last. The
French people gave Us no credit for go
ing to war with England, for, say they,
!, was done at the request Of orr En-
peror. Some, indeed, expressed aslo-
ni.hment. that his influence extended to
the United States. Such remarks must
be mortiiying TO every reaa American,
and if our government act as they ought
to do, they will soon convince the peo-
pie of France, that their master is not
ours.
