Of Mr. Rush, at Paris He acted as Mr. Jefferson did.
when he minister at Paris, the breaking out Of
he French revolution. He spoke as Washington did
as President of the United States when he addressed the
irt French ambassador who our shores as the
representative of that wonderful people, whose achieve

Mr. Rush did wait for the National Assembly, for
new constitution, for the development of all the results
Of the revolutions but he forth to give France al
the moment when she most wanted it, the encouragement
which she deserved for the energy well as moderation

mtted some excuses but how much fewer than could
have been expected from her position She may not escape
Others for the social systems, which her writers have
been pressing upon her adoption, cannot all be realized
But take it the whole and up the last advces and
what magnificent spectacle does France exhibit the
world What irresistible energy on the part of her
people! What circumspection and moderation on the
part of the provisional government An intelligent OBJ
server writes on the 18th March, from Paris: The
momenous revolution continues thus far to work ad-
miraby. God grant that it may go to do Then
what triumph to noble institutions! (Now more
prominent more brilliant than ever from the unexamped
glory of arms, and from the wise reforms Of our

We have doubt that Mr. Rushs course has obtained
the appreciation of government, it has re-
| ceived the grateful admiration of our people
But understand that his address the provisional
government of the new born republic, well as his
official note the new Minister of Foreign Affairs have
both been very naccuraey reported in the French
papers; and by still more inaccurate TRANSACTIONS have
appeared in even worse shapes in of the English
newspapers Having been favored with accurate copies
from Paris, word for word from authentic source we
hasten to lay them before our readers, as follows:
