The following is an extract of
n letter from Bordeaux, to the ed
itor of the Boston Patriot, dated
February 13, 1816.
“We had a pretty scene here
vhis week,—The schooner Kemp,
Baltimore, having droped
down the river to proceed to sea,
the mate in the absence of the
captain, thought he would hoist
id bundle of signal colors they
had on board, to dry them, It
happened, that among these co
lors was the old tri-colored flag
©frepub 1 ican andimperi?,l Fi ance.
The whole city bordering on the
river was immediately in move
ment. Some said that Bonaparte
had just arrived in an American
schooner, and that ail was lost—
tious somtiiesperdu. Others said
it is an insult direct, and intend
eel by the Americans, and that
they ought to be hung, consul &
all. The marine soldiers and ci
ty guards all flew to the spot.
The prefec* wrote to the consul.
‘The commissary of marine took
tip the affair, and the governor
f.ppoared disposed to make an
examph* of the captain and mate.
The captain a very worthy man,
happened to be on shore, and on
hearing of the affair, flew to the
consul’s house for protection.
The consul went to the authori
ties, and calmed all parties by
1 • node r ft- ex an and greu t j
forbearance. He lias a sorrvj
time of it: indeed we have all I
j
suffered too much these six]
months past in this mad dlty. A
mart must have the patience of;
Job, and the courage of a iion, to
support the Continual insults
which have been heaped upon\is
by the vile English faction and
their satelites in Bordeaux; and j
yet the very Beiglishmen who nre\
at the head of this gang of wretch
es, would be obliged to shut up
their-counting houses , were it not
for the consignments they are daily
receiving from the United States 7.
—Shame to our merchants who\
thus encourage and support them !
Our consul, in particular, is hard
run by them, on account of the
truths he told this nation in the
book he published against the
English government* iYMr. Ma
nieur, fcf Nefw-Orleans* arrived
here yesterday from Paris. Ij
was at the con sul’s office when he j
presented himself there. He sta
ted that he was arrested on the j
road from Paris, and carried be-]
fore the mayor of the town, on ac-j
count of wearing a cockade in hrs
hat with the American eagle in
the centre. That the mayor ex
cused the measure, and said re
ports were circulating in the coun
try, that Bonaparte had landed in
France, at the head offif ty thou
sand Ameiicans! Y6u will hardly
credit such ridiculous stories in
the United States A priest in a
village near this, in preaching to
his hock, told them, that Bona
parte was walking on the sea
shore at St Helena with an um
brella over his head, when the de-\
vil descended in a cloud of smoke,!
and in exchange for his umbrella,
gave him a pair of wings, with
which he flew into the air, and di
rected his course to the United
States, the sink of all republican -j
ism; that all the British fleet had
sailed in search ot him; that it be-,
hoved them to keep a good look,
out, for he might yet one day turn- j
hie on France. Can any thing;
be more ridiculous than such a I
dis course, except the credulity of]
the peasants in believing it/ I
“With all this nonsense, tSte ;
thinking part of the population of
this country look towards us with j
great affection and favor, and be- j
gin to detest the English most cor- j
.dially* We shall, before long, i
be cherished by the whole nation j
Some of the most influential men
• at Paris have already taken a high ’
tone in our favor. Complaints
have been made at Paris against
us, and against our consul here,
and have been treated with con-
Itetnpt by the minister. Libels!
have been pointed and circulated’
through this town against the con-’
jsul, his family and the govern
ment and people of the United
| States. The authorities have ta-1
j ken the matter up very seriously,l
] and have assured the consul, that i
j the authors when discovered shall
Ibe severely punished. Instruct
I tions have actually . been received
by the authorities here to treat the
Americans with more respect
This looks well,and l state it with
! pleasure, bee mss I know it to be
; a fact*
• n The re p h’rts eh Curating aii y
in this city are unfavorable to
the present government, but you
must be “cautious how you give
creditthe them. The country is
in a dreadful state, but Ido not
see much probability of a ‘change
at present The Chambrt ties
dcpiitees are going too far, and
thereby do injury to the reval
party. I recommend to your
careful perUsal the debates in that ]
body relating to me priests by I
‘which you will find that the ru- j
ling party aim at nothing short of ]
a colitre revolution . The best in
formed men think there will be an ]
explosion this spring, an event
which all parties ought to dread,
viewing the present state of
France,without an army-—with
out miliitary chiefs—without mo
ney—and divided and distracted
by the intrigues of their enemies,
who are the enemies of the hu
man race. The protestants are
not yet without tears. In some
of the departments, the royal Ca
tholics treat them with great rig
or. This government has for
bid the circulation pf foreign jour
nals. The police seize them
where ever they can be found. 1.
fear we .shall in future from this
meafiure be deprived of Ameri
can papers—against which, as
well as the English gazettes, much
is said, on account of the obser
vations cdntained in both, of the
Bourbons and their measures.
Though We have no liberty 6f :
the press iiere, these articles are ■
translated and circulated in man- ■
usaipt. —The effect they pro-;
i duce among the patriots is aston-!
lishing. The government had
better admit the liberty of the
•press, and the open publication 1
of these things, for then their’
;friends could answer them. But’
while they are secretly distribu
ted, they produce a Sensation be
fore the police detects them—
. when it is too late to counteract
. their influence.
! It is said Austria is at variance
;with France, on account of their
| not having given satisfaction for
i their hanging and burning in ef
i figy the empress, and her sen, the
king of Rome, at some place near
Vallenciennes.—Bavaria, it is
I said, joins with Austria. Others
j say that the former is at varience
■ with the latter, but it is thought
I by some, that the difference is on-
I ly apparent in order to cover their
proceedings. This is most cer
tain, that the prince Eugene is
named duke of Bavaria, and gen
eral in chief of the army. The
party in this country in favor of
Napoleon 2d, is gaining ground,
! as is also that of the dukt of Or
• leans, who appears to be sup
‘ ported by the English. Even in
this part of France, the Bourbons
have lost much consideration, and !
’ the British are now entirely de
tested ; so much so, that the indi
j vkluals of that nation dare not ap
pear at the public places,
