The extravaganza of the Russian or high Ultra
party in France, would hardly be credited in this
country. Would it be believed that Mr.. Pozzo
sdi Borgo, its oracle in Paris, in memoir address
sed to his Court in 1917, IN the importance OF re.
placing South America under the dominion Of
sSpain, actually allowed his zeal against liberty to
scarry him so far grayely to propose the sunju-

led, as it was well known that the French Reyolulion
HAD 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
particularly in France; that the administration of
that kingdom obliged TO bend before the revolu
stlonary spirits and, that prompt repression of de
moctaca principles could alone prevent the irrup
!tion OF an evil already SO grave in its source. All
tier variety of considerations OF the same sort, the
Russian Ambassador proceeded 10 observe, Tha
the conquest OF The United States of America was
an easy enterprse-that their submission to a modt
OF government more in harmony with that of the
other civilized States oil the world would be attend
ed with little inconvenience in comparison OF thes
danger from allowing to subsls, much longer, thief
form OF the actual government that the degree olS
power TO which the Americans had risen, madts
them objects of fear to the European Monarchica /
Governments, but that at the same time, the sunni
OF their riches having augmented that oil luxury aud
there was reason to think that the prin
cpal citizens of the United States would not be dis
pleased to change which would place them a, \
the head OF the government OF their country; that
as the aristocracal spirit was more partc ulary 4
perceptible in the towns, the influence of the rchk
citizens might easily bring about the desired changed
that it would in vain be objected that the UnueGI
States had Just come off victorious out OF the strug
gle they had maintained with Great Britain thals
his success was owing to particular causes, the alb
Sence OF which would overcome opposition and re
sisance, and that two OF these causes could not fail
10 strike every obserVer-that, in the first place. .he
richest citizens saw with fear the moment approachs
in which the English party would replace the Unit
ed States under the power OF England that, in tha
case, they would consider themselves as strpt oil
heir power and subjected TO the tyranny of tn. H
British arstocracy, whose representatives would i'm
pose on them yoke as severe as humltating thats
n consequence, seeing they could gain nothing byE
his change, they made every effort to overcomeH
very difficulty, in which they would not, perhaps
nave succeeded, but for the impolitic conduct of
English who set fire to Washington; and that it is
perhaps, 10 this second cause that the failure of theE
enterprise, and consequently the consolidation of thek
Republic, is in great measure, to be attributed.
Now, though all this must appear to US AmercansKc
extremely absurd and extravagant, yet, when weEr
consider that it comes from man who is under I'd
tood to influence the cabinets OF the Holy Alliance Bt
he folly assumes gFaver aspect, because knowsa
hat weak and wicked princes, and even those of ~
letter stamp, are sometimes governed by weak andSc
wicked ministers, and that, when wickedness is com
lined with ability the danger increases four fold. ET
