with these tricks daily under our ewes
w.to these at once iinpudent and sorry tricks
constantly staring US in the face, and with
the success OF these impossors well known
to US all, We have the shamelessness TO pre-
tend, thae the people of France are less fair
y dealt with than the people of England.
With regard to political Intelligence! If
may be permitted to step aside for mo-
ment, will avail myself of i, to observe.
that In private concerns as well as public
concerns, the English press is base and
m;schievous deceiver. There are hundreds
OF men who. without any fair pretensions to
public esteem or admiration, have gained
great cele6rity-havc become persons of
great public consideration, and have even
pocketed the profits of their reputation. in
consequence OF nothing but the jutlicious
employment of their money with those who
have the press in their hands. I have in
my eye a man who, without one grain of ia
lent, without ore sentiment OF honor, per-
forming tor years furctions very little above
those OF mere pimp, was regarded by the
mass OF the people of England as the man
above all others distinguished for refine ment
in all the notions of the higher order. a
creature more completely devoid Of real no
nesty, more pulled up with vanity, more
weak IN ltead or more hollow in heart. more
worthy of the epithet of dirty put before his
world and yet, through the means of this
detestab!c press, he was throughout the
kingdom. regarded as the profoundeSt Of
statesmen, and as the very pink of honor.
IT would be curi0us-thing to ascertain what

at the different ne wspaper Offices in payment

what Complain ot, are those peragra phs
which appear as If written by the editor
himself, and which begin with awe =
when, perhaps he has never read them, or
even seen them, they having been received

paid the price of them according to their
length,has sent them UP stairs to the printer

dead as oftbe living, is actuaIiy to be bourh,
IN London by measure ; as one buys wool

certain cases where the quality, as well as

subject--it appears that Moreau has made

"PARIs, Sept. 5.-The ex general Mo.
reau arrived a. Prague on the 2Oth Aug.
Some people appeared to doubt his arrival
on the continent. and his connexions with
the enemies Of his country. There can no
longer be any doubt on this subject. This
cx general, who has for a long time resided
in America, has without doubt heard talk of
general Arnold. so celebrated in the Ame.
rican revolutionary war, and who, after ma
wing gloriously fought in the ranks of his
countrymen, conspired against the govern
ment of his country. The conspiracy being
discovered, the traitor offered his services to
the English, who made use of him, By des-
pising aud condemning him to inaction and
oblivion. The name Of Arnold. dishonored
| in history, is never mentioned in America
without being accompanied by some dis
graceful epithet, and children even only pro
nounce il with eXeCration. Why did not
such an example deter the ex-general Mo-
reau But he Ghose rather to throw off the
mask, aad oy new steps justify the opinion
of all intelligent men, whom his hypocrisy
had not been able to deceive. There he
