We have, says the Baltimore Federsi Re
publican, received file of Paris papers ct
English print, as late as the 10th Of Feb. lass,
but they do not contain any material intelli-
gence. They present TO us nlixture OF
Tragieo Comico events, jes,s from Joe Mil
Ter, modernized, shrewd calculations on the
political affairs OF the CONTINENT Amongst
these mighty things, we notice remarkable
fox chase, in which poor Reynard had the
good luck to escape, and seven horses were
killed in tho pursuit. The debate on the mo-
ton for an address to the Prince Regent, in
answer to his message, was conducted with
remarkable temper, aud the ministerial ma
ority in the House Of Commons, was e.
Il is stated, that out Of tho 3ss Frenchmsn,
who voted for the death OF Louis 10Th, there
wore found to be 8s lawyers, IL medical
men, IL magistrates, II military, IL men OF
letters, and s private gentlemen. Ii is ssid
that ought Of this number, 70 died q natural
death, SO were guillo,ined, IL cemmi,ted SUI
iside, 6 werc assassinated, 3 died NJ Ia Gay
eDhe, died mad, and was drowned. Oi
/ the remaining 2io. some are still alive, and
others are unaccounted for. We have found

of brave men should be reduced to abjeet ser

! but witnessing as we have done, high-mindeG

with the common enemy, 10 cnslave them
and their country, We are ready 10 excluim,
what is manf That wo have a faction re-;

on the ruin Of our republic. will not now be
denied. Had The Unian been dissolved, and
tho British put in possession OF New -Eogland,
| by the Hartford Convention, AS he allied
sovereigns were Of France, by Taieyrand &
Co. instead of liberty aud prosperity, we
should be groaniog, as the French people
are, beneath such coutumely and oppression
as the foreign minlons and domestic iyssns
might impose.
