"Ileft Paris the day after the entry OF the k nc
into that place, on the 9Th ult. The allied ar
mics had entered it the day before; and lie
greatest order and decorum generally prevailed
especially in the English arIny--but the same
cannot be said of the Pruss:ans, who committed
some excuses. Old Butcher has been in a fine
humor of late for mischief. In the first place
he wanted to destroy the bridge of Jena, but was
prevented by Alexander; in the next place. he
wanted a contribution of33 millions, in % hours
la this, however he did not succeed Ibelieve
he has since directed his attention to the paint
ings IN the Louvre, 1Viere his oernsions hare been
pery sheccssful Thus you see something of the
disnteresi edness ofthese magnanimous allies -
They are running France, and thur is their FIRST
grand 0tjech They are supporting an immense
army IN that country, and there appears to be no
time fixed for the removal of Their forces, al.
though The ayowcd cause of war is entirely re
moved. The truth IS that the allies are afraid
ofleavng the Frerch people to themselves; for
they know well that Louis is not Their choice,
and that he has been placed on the throne and IS
kept there by foreign force. Bonaparte has lost
much of his popularity by his last abdlcation,
which IS totally unaccOuntable. Indeed, il seems
that lbs once great mind has fallen. II the allies
withdraw their forces from France, you mustro
be surprised to hear Of another revolution there
very shortly. The lsre successes of England on

80 good ~ understanding at present apparently
preva Is between this country and the q. Sates,
you may restas5ured that secret resentment still
turks IN almost every bosom bere--and that feel
ing probably prevails also on the other side Of the
Atlantic. If England is totally disengaged IN
Europe, the fair prospect Of peace may soon be
clouded again-Impressmcn has already began,
and Il is the duty Of the United States 10 be pre-
pared for the worst" &c &c

Thus IS America again vergngto q c melancholy
dilemma Of either beng degraded nation, or Of
making another appeal to arms The germs OF
hostility ave by no means radically extirpatcd--
We have few friends IN this country, except those
