One Of these pupils, in the Courier of Tuesday
last, writes from Brighton thus The only
persons in France who appear in trouble a
bout this event, are th, Noor English. The
roads are covered with them--their desheTate

French--all serve to excite the risbiiitv of
the people of France, as they post through
their country. ] can assure you that they

minutes, about 25 miles from Dieppe at the
door there were crowds of persons amusing
themselves with remarks upon the English

Here, then, my Lord, in spite of all their
fabrications, peeps out tine fact, that THE
PEOPLE of France as we'll as the army, are

why should the "poor Enelish be- in trouble
Strange, indeed, that they should sorrow for
themselves it is their annoyance it is their
insolcncc which has thus been repaid with
ridicule and scorn. They had the audacity
to look upon France as a sort of colony of
England ;--and in their sorrow, their melan-
choly faces, at Napoleon's return, the people
of France, saw no feeble proof. that that re-
turn was for the good anu for the honor of
France
Thus, my Lord, have given YOU NV rea-
sons for directing TO war with France, either
torthe purpose Of restoring the Bourbons, or
fer that of securing Belgium to the new king
of the Netherlands. I do not, must con-
fess, entertain very sanguine hopes that this
my advice, will be attended with better suc-
cess than that which offered as to the com 4.
mencement and prolonsation of the unfortu-
nate and disgracefui war against the Ameri-
can states: and if, in spite of what deem
the PLAIN dictates of sense and reason, and
love of country, THIS new war is to be waged
have only to add my sincere wishes, that
my predictions may not, in this case, as in
the former, be so completely fulfilled.
