withrnt word O: comment leaving the A.
nerican reader, who Is often totally Ignorant
Of The character or complexion of the for
s.ign journal from which those opinions or
assertions are copied, to gropc in the dark as
20 the truth or ialschood of what lie reads.
In one paragraph we are told, that Napoleon
Bonaparie, is monster, murderer, and the
scourge of France, and the continent OF Eu-
rope In ano,hcr, that the revolution which
has restored him TO the throne, is mere mill
cary revolution, In which the people OF France
have no part AID yet from the same Prints,
In which such assertions arc madc, our metro
politan editors of New-York, Phiadc phia, sc.
copy o6iciat documents from every part OF
France, proving that this 4" monSfer," this
Sconrge Of France" trc yelled six hundred
miles through The heart OF that country,
great part OF the way almost alone, and at ev-
cry footstep was cheered and salued by every
demonstration OF Joy, not only by the petty
handtu! of soldiers who FIRST welcomed his Te.
turo, but by the whole population oil his march
IA march that seems so much like miracle,
that we are lost in asonshment at the daring
and sublime spirit of enterprise which atie emp
ted, and The brilliant and wonderful sue ess
which crowned it, How, then, are We TO ac-
count for the foolish falsehoods and inconsis-
tencies, which mark so many OF the London
prints This is what the american reader
ought TO understand. He ought to know,
that those priats generally speaking, arc con-
durtcd by men who are bound 20 give, as far
as possible, to every article Of intelligence,
that especi which may best suitrhs political
view Of the ministry. The official, the au-
rhendc and indispu,ab!c facts which they re-
ceve in French or American papcrs, (and
the same deceptions have been attempted in
relation TO American as to French afflirs j
these they dare not suppress, because tho few
OPPOSITION prints that exist would notice the
supp es,ion, and briog the authors into con-
tempt. To the facts, therefore which do not
SUI, their employeis-but which they ate new
crtrcless compelled TO publish, or stand con-
tlct"d OF wiiiul snppression--they send out
the nest paiiry an,idotes, in the shape Of edi-
total paragraphs, or communications-aDti-

Bulls and Cockaeys OF the day, ce uld be made

world bas Witnessed the whole population of

one or two Others, tell their readers gravely,
that the PreSiacat was captured by the Endy.
mon alone That such articles should be
fabricated IN London, by niniste al hireliDgs,
or thelr employers, is what we have right
10 expect. They have a deep interest at
stake In misleading an honest multitude, upon
whom they must eventually rely for support,
and tor the means of Carrying on their crus-
ades against ,he right Of seli-govcrnment
which France has rc-assumed, after 1t had
siumbered for ages beneath the rubbish Of
thrones and dynasties, degraded by every folly
that invites the contempt, aud every vice that
lnvokes the detes,ation Of mankind. But that
american editors, whose minds ought to be
superior to the task, should, without The
slightest examination, attempt to eram down
tne throats OF heir readers, such monstroas
aosurdties, such unblushing falsehoods, as
they lind in tue ministerial and prostituted
prints OF the British metropolis, would Indeed
be surprising, II we had not long seen, that
