The public roads are repairing under a new lyflcm of national turnpike, by the regulations of which, no greater toll is collect ed than is necellary to preferve the highways in a flare of re pair. I found travelling per fectly fafe, and the ex pence more rcalonable than in the United States. The municipal officers, eflab li filed in every part of the re public, and to preferve the pub lic tranquility, are attentive to their funClions; and the law s arc fo highly refpefted, that al though the fields in general arc not encloled, yet the property of the farmer is held facrcd; even the extenfive gardens in the neighborhood of Paris, abound ing with the molt delicious fruits and vegetables, are free from plunder. in Paris, the greatefl ovder and regularity exifls. The (hops ate open, and bufinefs conduCl ing, as before the revolution :. hordes in many parts of the city, building or repairing. The [Streets regularly lighted and cleanfed, and not a beggar or diflrelied objeft to be fecn. Wi h refpeft to reiigious eftdblifhrnents; the people of, France, arc in opinion with the) citizens of the United States :; thev confider them as fore'gn to j civil inftitutions. On this ac- 1 no provifion is made, by law, for the fuppoi t of thecler-i gy of anv denomination : nor does the civil law interfere be tween any man and his Creator: every citizen is left at full liberty to worfhip God, agreeably to the diftates of his ow n confcience. Whilfl in Paris, I vilited fe veral of (he churches, on the rhnflian fabbath, and was pre fect at the cclebra ion of mafs; the doors of the church being open for the free admidion of any perfon. The fame, places (j worjhip arc, on the day of the Decade, occupied by the Theo philanthropiflL', a religious feCf, iomething fimilar in their difei pline and manner of worfhip, to the Independents of Xew- Zngland or the Baptifls; they commence their worfhip by prayer, invoking the Supreme Being as the author and fountain of a'l good ; they Ting hymns of praife, and conclude their devo tions by well connected fermons on the genuine principles of morality and virtue; when, at the fame time they inculcate the duties of every good citizen to maintain the liberties, and to pieferve inviolate the laws of his country. In one jefpeCt, this feft lefemblcs the Quakers ; •v* every gifted brother has the liberty of preaching without any formal oidinaticn. Fa Reveil liere Lepeaux, ptefidcnr of the executive diredory, is the nation of this fed. A foundation of general and univerfa! inflruClion in the fei ences is laid in Paris, which will render that city the fr (I fchool in Eu:ope for inforrna tion. The means of knowledge are in fuch profufion, (hat it is difficult for a fludent to make his c.hoice amidll the variety. Public libraries are found in different quarters of the city; the national library, one of the rnofl extenfive and bcfl collec tion of books in the Wor'd, is open at all limes for the ufe of (he public ; tables, paper, ink, &c. aie firmfhed to any perfon dcfirous of making extrafts from any of the books, which are handed to him by the libiaiian, attending for that purpofe. 1 he nation d garden of plant is preferved in complete order, as is alfo the fupeih cabinet of n dural hiflory ; this is the rcfoil of the fludent, to hear ledurcs on botany, chemiflry. and na tural hiflory. 'Fhe lover of the fine arts will vifit, with entliu fiahn, the ancient pilace of the Louvre, in which is preferved the moll exqn fie fpccimens of painting and feirpture fiom the ancient and mo i rn fchools. 1 lie national infthutc enjoys the highefl celebrity : its mem bers are divided into dalles in luch a manner as to p;o u:e (he greatefl quantity of ufcful infor mation. I vifited (he affimbly of five hundred, and alio that of the ancients : the greslefl order and regulaiity were prcfeived in all their deliberations. The executive direftory has the confidence of the people. M crliti, lepeaux and Trcilharc), | are men of abilities, and atten tive to the arduous duties of their office : in priv. te life they arc amiable and exemplary citi zens. Neufchatcau. theminif-, ter of the interior, is urremit-. tirg’y engaged in piomoting the internal profoerity of the coun tiy, by encouraging agr.cu ‘mre; and manufaftures. 1 he foil,! climate, and local (filiation of, 9 France, will admit the I e feveral. branches of national wealth to; be brought to a degree of O O u perfection. The popularion of France is eflimated at thirty five millions; her citizens, renovated by the fpirit of liberty', and in pollcflion of the heretofore inaclive pio- p*ify of the crown rind clcrgv 9 ,wi l render her, in point of li. n *nre, the mod powerful nation in Europe.

During an awful moment of revolu Jonaiy f!C>'zy f crimes were commit ed, i n violation of me (acted principles of juflicc and humanity ; but thele crimes of rlie revolution have been condemned and punifhcJ by tne nation.
