It is manifeftly tl.eir de termination to give laws at least to all Europe, and that, fro.mhe conquered nations, they require nothing I hart ofun conditional submission to their imperious authority. Tlie extent of the pride and tyranny, and the profligacy of man ners in the rulers of that Government, abfoiutcly exceed ordinary credibility. , The invasion of England, at the tune the Alexander Hamilton failed, was generally reported to be portioned, the armament not being in fufficient forwardnefs; never theless there was an iminenfe army assembled on the Coal!. It is impossible, however, to obtain any knowledge of the real designs of the French Government, from the profound secrecy which-g iverns their Councils. Carnot, as- hereto fore rejiorted, was certainly murdered. At the time of the veflel’s failing tlw public attention was principally occupied with the eleftinns. The choice of the Primary Affem dies had general! y Ellen on decided terrorists, tbe real fupportersof the coaftitution and tyftdm of Robespierre. These are nearly as unacceptable as the moderate Republicans to the existing Government. The consequence is that feitfions have taken place in many of the Electoral AlTcinblies. The minority dlfpoled to elect per sons in favor of existing men and menfures have separated from the majority for the purpose of making separate elec tions. The capture and condemnation of American vellels lull Continue. * The late change in tbe Spanish Government was in con sequence of the threat of the Directory, as the Prince of Peace was not found pliant and trie idly to their purposes, which aim at tlie absolute subjugation of every nation in Europe. The Portuguese Government would have long fin re yielded abfoiutcly to the demands on them, but for fear of the Britilh, whose ftiios command their harbors, and who have soldiers in nvift of their garrisons. Idle French have demanded a Contribution of 29 millions of florins of the Danish Government; however it is not expended tint they will be able to enforce their demands. We learn that the reign < f the Terrorists was reviving; that every measure was effected by the bayonet. 7he pro jedled invasion of England was laid aside for the present, it is supposed owing to the want of stores. An armament was fitting out at Toulon; its objedt is not known. America is looked upon in so contemptible a light by the French that they calculate upon implicit obedience in our Government to any terms they may dictate; particularly so, as they believe'us to be a divided vsoelc!—Ameri eans, attend to this! , It is said that fome dispatches from our Government to the Envoys had been intercepted by tlie French Govern ment. ■ The United States brig Sophia had not arrived* Three parties are faicl now to exist in France; the Ter- Jrorrfts, the Royalists, and the DireA iryj the last of which, labftrurited from their influence over the army, are the least I influential.
