RICHMOND, (vA. 'NovEMBER %.

The fleet Of vessels that had been kept
back by the gales of the last month, are
daily arriving, aud food of news has pour
ed upon US from the Continent ard from
EnSland--Our accounts from Paris are row
down to the 9th of Sept. from London
10 the 2lst September. The Chambers
had not then assembled nor had the trea-
ty OF arrangement been announced. The
Russian troops were leaving the French
territories in considerable numbers and,
il seems to have been understood, that the
British troops were TO retire on The from
tiers, the II. q. of Lord Wellington to be at
Brussels; whilst those of the Prussians
were to remain at Versailles, in the neigh
bourhood of Paris. All these armies were,
ct course, TO remain " within Call :" to rush
forward at the first moment Of disaffection.
and preserve the lettering crown on the
head OF Louis the Desired. The arrange
ment OF troops on the frontiers, though it
may relieve the French inhabitants from
some personal acquisitions, cannot fail to be
equally obnoxious to the independence and
pride OF the nation. 1t is a species of men
ace which cannot possibly be mistaken
Besides, these troops will be principally
supported by stipulated contributions from
the French Treasury-tn the detention of
many of the French fortresses in the hands
of the Allies, will enable them to insult the
sovereignty and distress the property of this
unhappy people. When the great mass of
foreign tcoops shall have been removed,
though it be Oily to the frontiers, it is inn
possible but tnat the indignation of their
victims must break out III various shapes
The assassinations which have taken % ace
In various quarters are indubitable eviden-
ces OF the disturbed state of the public
mind. New instructions will be but the
prelude to new oppressions-and the allied
troops will necessarily find new arguments
or preteXts for marchisg into or through
the districts OF France. The prospects Oe
fore France are therefore any tang but
suspicious She has no hope in future OF
order, or peace, or independence. For
egn violence hovers on her borders-while,
the dead calm of despotism, or the rage of
lnsurrectlon, threatens her within.
The most important change which has
occurred III the internal state of France, Is
the Change OF her minister's. Fouche and
L leyrand, VINO have divided the cabinet
between them, and who have had the su-
gular tate OF being suspected by the friends
OF the King and Of being condemned by the
friends Of liberty elsewhere, are both out
whether resigned or removed, is Of very
little consequence. Fouche is succeeded
in his Office, though not in his political in
huence, by bitter opponent OF the Ex EN-
peror, DE CAFES. Talleyrand, is sue
ceeded by the Duke de RicheHeu, who IS
no doubt a devoted friend Of the ancient
regime. From this time, We may date the
downfall OF the system Of Cancellation. No
room tor any man who is suspected of ia
coblnism. No countenance 60 any man.

not suit the climate of France. 1t is too
much penetrated with the revolutionary
spirit of the age 4; the seeds Of division are
too widely scattered, to permit her bhndly
to bow before the prctensIoDs of the throne.
Indeed, let us turn which way we will, We
do not augur the reposc Of France, or the
repose OF her king. Is the murder Of the
