The extravaganza of the Russian or
nigh Ultra party in France, would hard
ly be credited in this country. Would
Il be believed that VI. Pozzo di Borgo,
its oracle in Paris, in amemoir address
sed to his Court in 1917, on the 'mpor-
lance ofreplacing South America under
the dominion of Spain, actually allowed
bis zeal against liberty to carry hlm SO
far as gravely to propose the supluSa-
ton of the United states of North Ame-
RIGA. BOUNDED, he said, on the sover-
eighty Of the people, the Republic oil
the United States of America, was

rone thre eaten ed the latter with coniia-

ample. poison of which the communl-
cation could not be questioned, as it was
well known that the French Revolution
had its origin in the United States; that
already troublesome effects were. felt
in Europe from the presence OF French
Refugees in America, and more partl-
cularly in France; that the administra-
ton Of that k'!gdom was Obliged to
bend before the Revolutionary spirit;
and, that prompt repression of demo-
cratical principles could alone prevent
the Eruption of an evil already SO grave
in its source. After variety of consi-
Iteration of the same sort, the Russian
Ambassador proceede to- observe, That
the conquest, of the United States oil
America was an easy enterprlse--tllat
their submission to mode of govern
ment more in harmony with that OF the
other civilized States in The world, would
be attended with little inconvenience in
comparison of the danger from allowing
TO subsist, much longer, the form OF the
actual government; that the degree OF
power to which the Americans had risen,
made them objects of fear to the Euro
mean Monarchical Governments, but
that at the same time, the sum OF their
riches having augmented that OF luxury
and co ruptian, there was eason to think
that the principal citizens of the United
States would not be displeased to see a
change that would placethem atthe head
of the government Of their country; that
the aristocratical s1irit was more part'-
cularly percep'ible in the towns, the in-
fluence of the rich citizens might east
" bring about the desired change; that
it would in vain be objected that the U.
States had just come off victorious out
of the struggle they had maintained with
G. Britain; that this success was owing
to particular causes, the absence OF
which would overcome opposition and
resistance. and that two of these causes
could not fail to strike every observer
that in the first place, the richest CT
tizens saw with fear the moment APP
proach in which the English party would
replace the United tates under the
po;.er of England, that, in that case,
they wouldconsder themselves as stript
of heir power, and subjected to the ty-
ranny of the British aristocracy, whose
representatives would impose on them
az oke as severe as humiliating; that
in consequence seeing they could gain
nothing by this change they made every
effort to overcome every difficulty, IN
which they would not perhaps have sue
ceeded but for the impolitic conduct Of
the English who set fire tow ASKING IN;
and that it is perhaps, to this second
cause, that the failure of the enterprise,
and consequently the consolidation OF
the Republic, is in great measure to
be attri buted"
