/ AS every thing in regard to the ul-
Etir,ate fate of this unfortunate country,
CONTINUES involved in doubt and uncer-
Itainty, | cannot pretend to give you
lunch light on that subiect-but send
you the 8 Censear,'' a very popular po-
|Iitical periodical publication, which will
afford some interesting translations for
your Gazette. The most current and
Icredited report yesterday, was. that the
government wonld be declared repub-
Ilican one by the Chamber of Deputies,
liza afew days. In fact, the political
lbarque is very crazy, and the iarring O.
|pinions and interests of the officers and
icrew, / think must soon obige her to
seek safety in the snug harbor from
which she lately so fooishly departed.
All honest and sensible men | believe
sincerely desire it---for it appears to me
the only means by which to save the
country from destruction. The few
montbs government of Louis 18th, did
wonders in promoting the happiness of
France, and repairing the mischiefs oc-

On the contrary, has he not, when at.

graded and plundered US. to the extent
of his means ? Yes and though every
American knows this, there are those
who are his apolosists /!

astonished France that during his absence,
she has suffered all the horrors Of despo-.
