We have ma e the observation
before, but the fad is so remarka
ble that it may be ufeful to notice
it attain : Before the French revo
o #
ln‘ion. it was the univenal pradice
of the Engliih to Ipeak of., and
confi ,er the French people as
{] was 44 British freedom” and
French slavery” was the theme
of the politician and the poet; ever
calculated to excite applause and
the clapping of band* in the parlia
ment or in the play-house.
How great, truly, have been the
changes of things to eradicate what
mav fairly be called the then Ida
iion.nl feeling of Englishmen. A
public prejudice is only to be re
moved by a powerful operation of
farts cn the senses ; especially,
v • iit is the Entered: or business
o’ fe who are so situated as lead
t mil-lie fentimerit, to keep up
th, there are tens
oi ju'i d3 of such, tax-gather -
t and priests, pensioners and
i icuntn, in Engfiihd. But ic it
that Britons no longer boast of
tr.cir freedom, or deprecate the
fi ivery of the French ! Ihe French
by the revolution, became compa
ratively Ir e; of the British, by
checking the course of France to
freedom, loft their own. This
change of a national lentiment is &n
interesting political epoch.
However. let the ft ate of France
have been what it may, the people
freer, to ho rapidly Aiding back to a
coalition that may give john
bull lame cmfe for exultation at
his own lot, when he compares it,
as he is wont to do, with that of a
Frenchman. At leaf! he will have
this pleafiKe—that his great rival
is as had off as he is, and,** rnifery
loves company.”
One day’s gleaning of the news
papers gives us the following caf s
to fliew how much France has
griijed in freedom, by the 44 reiter
ation” of her 44 legitimate*’ king :

for having with him a file of 12
numbers of a foreign gazette. It
docs not appear that tnefe papers
contained any thing of a seditious
nature ; the offence was in this,
that they were not printed under
the ififpection of the officers of the
king of France 1
3 The firft detachment of the
Swiss regiments, hired by the king
of France to defend his person,
have arrived in France.
4 A man with an Eagle on the
button of his coat, was taken up at
Rennes, and feverety punished by

and bonnets-, by a proclamation of
the mayor of Agea.

prohibit the wearing of apparel
that has th.3 three colors, red, blue,
and white.
J? A peasant, who bad been a
(oldie,r, was observed to have an
old pair of ipatterdafhes buttoned
with Eagle buttons— he was imme
diately kized, but the poor fellow
by leaving his borfe a prize to the
“legitimates,” made his el cape—
however they hoped to catch Idm!

(where the people appear pehcliy
quiet) allows a delay of i 5 days,

a declaration and rellitution of

We naturally cap these evidences
of the Defyotibii that is uign
ing in Fiance, by the following
account of a ridiculous, i ! not
impious, religious mummery:

A letter from a well informed A
merican citizen at Paris, express

was ripe for revolution in that
ill fated country We may look
forimportant events in thecourle
of the prdent year. The fol

of this morning, contains fome
intcrelling particulars.

War soon between England
(God knows who are her allies) oil
one fide, and Ruflia, Prussia, and
the Netherlands, on the other. Ihe
allies have taken from Wellington
the command of their joint armies
in France.
Tire Ervghfh will be driven from
the continent Piullia wiil take
Hanover, and the whole of the
territory and navigation of the Ems,

The Orange party in E'raoceand
: Germany is no longer a mystery.
It is iuppoled England will find
I the Duke of Orleans to France,
who was very popular lail year. If
i he came from any where else, he
might neutralize the Orange pariy,
, it you can call that a party which
is competed of all the conffitution
alifts, and the Bonapavtifts, in a
word, of all France, (excepting the
old nobles, valets and priefts)—
France perceives that the houte of
Orange, at this day, offers the only
means of ridding itfelf ot its pt!.-
lent tyrants, and restoring any
; thing like vigor or health.
It this great and glorious event
; takes place, it will immortalize the
Emperor of Rnffia. I its fitter,
! the- profent princtis royal of the
| Netherlands, is both able and atni
able. She has inherited the mind
! ol a Catherine, and ia as a great
man in the frame of a woman. Her
husband, a brave and ikilful gtne
i ral, fought against the Frencli for
a while, with Wellington t he,
however - appreciates the two na
tions, and may be the means of re
storing France to honor and li
berty.
Now, that Louis the great, and
his amiable family, fee they are to
be abandoned by the Englifii, they
are quiie aeiive in making money.
They are fending money to Ame
rica by an agent &c t for in Eng
land the indignation against them
is as great as in France and in the
j rest of Europe.

NATURAL IIISiORY.
1 here is now to be leal in this
town, the singular curiosity of a
young Alligator. The egg from
which it was hatched, was brought
by a iailor from South America to
Gieeuock, and the perion wl'O
