A series of the Journal de Frankfort to
the 18th arrived thi. morning extracts from
which precedc this notice. Among other mat
tiers there is a copy of a letter from the duke
OF Ragusa, in answer to an overture made To
him on the part of the Rebel Leader by Caul-
mcourt, in which, after rejecting the trairo-
rous proposition with scorn and Indignation,
and justifyiny his patriotic Conduct ut the
close ofthe last campaign. the gallant Mar
shall thus concludes, in a tone of LOYALTY and
honor which is enough and we rejoice to say
1t, to redeem the French name from the obo-
guy with which the treachery and perfidy Of
too many Frenchmen have lately oyerwhelm-
ed it:
From that moment France has recognised
in Louis, XVIII. her father, her saviour. 1t is
Louis who has saved France from the usual
consequences Of an invasion. Conquest gave.
to the Sovereign right to divide a country,
which tor twenty years had been despoiling
them OF all their riches the nau,e of Louis

Such, Sir, are my sentiments and my iustifi-
cation. You know whether the reign of Lou
is have weakened their motives that reign so
wonderful in its short duration that reign the
subject OF our admiration, of our love- and of
our tears ; this reign an eternal subject of
meditation for Princes the despair of tyrants
will go down to posterity as a witness IN ia
vor OF those who have Contributed to the re-
turn OF the Bourbons, and against the eu;itv
partisans of the USurper. Twill tell Won. sir.
with all the trankness of my character. I
have not sought, nor do | expect the aDpro-
BATON either OF Bonaparte, of you, or OF men
who resemble you / have bren astonished,
confess, at hearing the companion of the
childhood of the unhappy Duke d'Engheiu
upbraid me with having forsaken BonaParte

who admired this sangunary hero, till the,
reign OF Louis the Eighteenth, but / think
do but anticipate the judgment of history in
devoting to contempt and execraton, whoe-
yer has quilted the King to attach himself to
Bonaparte. 1 declare to YOU, sir, that the
base enemies ct their country, are, in nv
eyes unworthy of pity Sc pardon, and | think
that the Nation, to avoid eternal opprobrium,
ought to reject them from her bosom. Yo,

and of Pichegru, tell the disturber of ali Eu-
rope, tell him who has plunged France into
blood and tears, tell the vioator of the rirbra
of nations and of all treaties, tell the per
jurer, the most perfidious and the mcst
guilty of men, that the oath which I have
taken to my King, will be sealed in a few
days with the blood of the traitors--thst
henceforward there is nothing in common be-
tween me and the prosecutor of nv country
that my own arm shall soon carry the stan
dard OF the Lilly, even to the capitol that mg
life is henceforward consecrated to rallyiner
round the White Flag, the faithful subjects
and the subjects who have been led astrav.
Tell him from me, tell him in the name of
all Europe, that the blood shed by the assas-
sins IS gong to be visited upon their own
heads, and that the day of Justice is at hand.
