7]e7ast General Of the .qnssean Re,ol,.ion

ct Greece tell her story Of pat,iots bright
Like stars i'm the armament set,
Yet they fade in the beams of a purer light
When placed by the side of Fayette---
Let Rome too unfold her own classical page
Where the names Other mighty are met,
Yet where is the glory ofhero or sage
That eclipses the name of Fayette
IfEurope a laurel OF honor combines
On her wortihest brow to be set
Dsdaining hermonarchs, the wreath she entwines
IMMORTAL, round her Fayette--
For he is a star that shines bright aud alone,
When others arc faded or set,
And far be the day when its splendeur is gone
And the world inourns the loss Of Fayette.

ed by the StephsDia. Paris papers TO the
Gath and Hsvre to The 25lh ult inclusive.
We have only room tor the following ex.
tracts.
The session OF the French Chamber
was opened on the 92d ult. by the king IN

business we are unable to give the whole
of bis speech on the occasion. He com.
mences by congra iulsting them on the lie.
licitOus state of the countTy-speaks OF
the generous and ust conduct Of France
in restoring Spain to her king, which
measure was effected by the vaIor and
wisdom OF his son. A part OF the army,
he SAYS, has returned TO France, and the
balance would follow as soon as the inie-
ror tranquility Of that country is esta'
blishpd.
He observes that France stands in need
of repose and unanimity, but hat the pre-
sent mode OF electing deputies will not
secure this object, and that project oil
law will be submitted 10 substitute The sep
tennisI election.
II appears from the speech that no new
impos,s or taxes will be required to pay
the last years expenses. The King al
ludes TO the amicable relations existing be.
tween France and other nations, which
he considers guarantee for long CONT
nuance of peace.
On the subject of Greece and South A,
merica he observes, 81 trust that the at
fairs of the East and Of Spanish and Por
tuguese America, will be regulated to ths
advantage OF the nations and people whe
are interested, and TO the great extension
of the commercial relations Of the world. .

ALEXANDRIA,,
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 90.

Ma. SNowDEN-i am sorry that have
again TO trouble you and your readers,
with reply to the second edition oil
the sensible and flaming editor Of the He
raid of Monday last: but as this able
state paper, much likened unto the hrs'' is
founded in so much good sense, and gives
the writer such high claims on the public
MOI only as learned and able writer, but
as possessing full share OF the spirit oil
propbesy, also; would II not be doing him
too much injustice snd the pubic great
injury, not to give publicity TO every breath
be brea,hes, and every sentence ne wri'es,
either for or agsns! every measure mat is
brough, forward in the Congress OF the U.
States? For myself, who have DO pre-
tensions OF equal understanding with the
editor OF toe Herald, about great national
matters, or even with the opinions OF my
own townsmen, on things generally, l
must be content with those expressed by
the editor, or receive bis dispeasure; ana
as have ventureG to come out, and speak
for myself, and in opposition TO that able
and sensible writer, will proceed to give
a few Of my reasons for the bold, unau-
thorised, and hazardous course have
taken:
First, Because be stated The people OF
Alexandria were opposed to the Tariff
bill, ESQ called,i without first consulting
them on that subject
Secondly, Because he stated that which
I believe the people of Alexandra would
scorn at. either 10 words or actlons--(i
mean those Of good sense,
Thirdly, Because think it an insult
offered to any community, Tor one OF its
members to give his sentiments in that
way which wears the semblance Of die
tation, or as the opinion Of the whole
Four,bly, To speak disrespectfu'ly OF
the actions OF those by whom you receive
your bread, in part, evidences want OF
gratitude, at least.
Ist. The editor OF the Herald, in his
Mondays paper, has fully admitted, that
bis first remarks 10 relation to the opinions
of the people of Alexandra, on The SUBJ
ject Of the Tariff, pro or con, was not
known to him al the time Of bis making
those remarks; for, agreea5ly TO his own
I words, be says, hare since made personal
inquiry, and that be finds himself well
supported in what he supposed were the o.
unions Of others. This is what ! cali hav-

IRON the rest of his proposition.
Mr. johnson assented TO the course
suggested by the gentleman from New
Work, aud accordingly withdrew the
last section Of his amendment.
Mr.. Barbour moved the postpone
ment Of the subject till TO morrow. lie
thought the Importance of the subject
demanded the most mature considera
ton. as it would be much more easy TO
adopt than TO get rid Of any new Judlci'
arv system which might be adoP ed
Mr., II. johnson, OF Louis. submitted
new bill, as a substitute Tor the one now
before the Senate. II provides Tor The
establishment OF regular and uniform

was in favor of the amendment offered by
