II IS said that he insists upon being tried by the
Marslialls of France OF the trial or arrests of
any more traitors, we hear Just as little as if Ney
and Labedoyere had been the only persons who
had been guilty of rebellion. This lamentable
weakness is calculated to produce any thing but
peace and quiet. Hence we hear in private let
tiers of the discomfort Of the Royalists and of the
satisfaction of the Jacobins; and hence we shall
not be surprised to find fresh attempts made by
ue Jacobms, IN different towns, to disturb the

The advantage is this The French for three
and twenty years, have been tainted with the
lust OF conquest in every variety of form. Their
revolution gave them rlnbounded opport,,nitie s
ofgratifying this disposition, and they took care
to exercise, with the most unbrdled and despotic

enemies placed in their hands. The collective
sense and energy of mankind have tri,I ,nphed
over the disgusting professions, the hypocritica
