THERI . ~j "-.re 1
general dearth of intelligence—never less
nourifliment for news mongers than at
the present day. The papers from eve
ry quarter are barren—nothing impor
tant from abroad, and very little particu
larly engaging at home appears recently to
have occurred. We recommend to our
readers a uniform exercise of that chriftian
virtue, patience, continuing fleadfaft in
the “ lure and certain hope,” that much
good is in store for them—that the time is
approaching when events beneficial to
their country and advahtageous to them
selves will be unfolded.
SOMETHING like a constitution
appears to have been framed for France,
and something like contradiftion appears
in that constitution; however, % to antici
pate its effefts would be folly—experience
only,brings to light the difference between
theory and praftice —and the occurrencies
in France for several years part, have exhi
bited the absurdity of calculating in that
nation, effefts from causes, or of pre
dicting events from existing appearances.
NO accounts to be relied on relative
to the arrival of the American ministers in
France have yet been received, when they
arrive there, whether the change of cir
cumstances in that nation may not require
them to wait for new inftruftions may be
very questionable—however ’tis not im
probable that the wisdom of our adminif-,
tration, would suggest the propriety of
providing inftruftions to meet any change,
in a government perpetually fubjeft to
fluctuation.
