LONDON,
j While we justly extol mrr late naval vic
tories as tl)e mod brilliant in point of na
tional glory., we ought to view them as
fubftantiailv conferring national sakkty.
Possessed, as we now are, cf the empire of
every navigable sea—commanding the com-
I merce of the world—the naval power of the
enemy so crippled that its wretched remains
' can creep out only by Health—we have every
' advantage to expect, and nothing to feur.
The phantom ot Invasion no longer able even
to diturb timid or weak minds, every indi
vidual throughout the kingdom, whether
Land Proprietor, Merchant, Manufacturer,
Trader, See. See. proudly ieels that lo! d l°e
curity is established on the mod firm base, by
the irreliftible prowess of our arms.
But they whose property is mo.re immedi
ately benefited by our late decilive vidlories,
are the Holders of Stock ; as the Funds, lo
liable to deprelfion from the very (hadow of
danger, may now be conlidered, in point of
lubftautial security, fully equal to that of
landed property. It must: fee.m ft range, then,
to the bulk of the public, why the Funds
have not experienced an elevation cornmen
furate with an increase of national fafety;
mpre especially as there is now so great and
rapid a demand for Stock wherewith to re
.deem the Land Tax. To all, however, con
versant with the proceedings of the Alley, it
can b: no matter of lutprize.
The faCt is, that the still depreflion of the
Funds is the mere creature of artifice. This
is effected by Spurious Sales, Time-bargains ;
but chiefly by borrowing hnmenle quantities
of Stocks from Bankers, and prefling them
on the Markets for lafe. Thele matters are
oftenlibly tranfatted by Brokers ; lnr. their
Principals are egregioufly deceived in think
ing they remain concealed under this cloak.
Every man of importance is fully known in
the Alley by his Representative the Broker.
It is in vain the direttory employs every
revolutionary means to conceal from foreign
countries the impreflion which the glorious
vidtory obtained by lord Nelson has made
throughout France, The very means used
to .conceal it betrays the magnitude of that
impreflion. On this occasion its iron scep
tre lias principally' fallen 011 Journalists and
on the liberty of the prtfs ; yet the anti-di
reftorial spirit re-appears continually under
variegated form's, in spite of the,ince(Tant at
tacks of the directorial party.
The Propagateur -was fuppreflcd for hav
ing publiflitd ftiip news, the truth of which
proved offenfive to the fivt tyrants ; but it
has appeared again under another title ; the
Nouvelles de Paris, also prohibited, for
some ingenious alluiions to the dire&orial
dfeipotifm, \v»s published the very next day
after its prohibition, under tbe title of Cou
rier of Parh, without the least alteration of
the spirit in which it is written. The Jour
nal des Francs, which the inviolability of
the reprelcntatives of the people, Marynezy
and Quedon, could not protect from the
directorial doom, is continued under the ti
tle of Correspondence Jes Rcprefehtans Ste
vcriotte, Deiaix, and Dcthier, and it dill
breathes the lpirit of its ancieut authors,
Antonelle and Gamier de Saintcs, who, pre-1
vious to the revolution of the i ith Fiufti-"
dor, conduced it wilder the title of Journal
des Homines Libres.
By theft journals, as well as by private
letters, and the arrival of persons from
France, we learn that an universal discon
tent prevails throughout the Republic, not
more on account of the wild expedition a
gainst Egypt, which has proved a death
blow to the French Navy, than from the or
der for a new lsvj of 200,000 men, and an
extraordinary expenl'e of 125.000,000 livres
Tournois. Thcfe two meafurcs cannot fail
to-pioduce universal discontent in a country
drained both of men and muney ; and it is a
certain faft, that this discontent has already
broken out in very serious commotions, es
pecially at Brussels and Ghent, where num
bers of labouring people have demanded pass
ports to withdraw into other countries, and
where the gen d'Armerie is constantly on
duty-, to prevent and suppress riots and in
furreilions.
November 9.
It was generally expetfed that the late
deftruftion of the Frtncfi l'quadrons off the
coasts of Egypt and Ireland, would prodSfce
a violent explosion in the interior of France,
against the present rulers ; or that the latter,
to prevent this explosion, would break off
the negociations at Raftadt, and make a fucL
den irruption both into Germany and Italy,
to weaken, by some important success on tlie
Continent, the impreflion naturally produced'
by their late misfortunes at sea. ' .
Tbat no explosion has taken place in the
interior, is to be ascribed to a want of energy
on the part of the malcontents, who have
no rallying point to go to, or any foreign
support to depend on. The French govern
ment has not broken off the negociations at
Raftadt, probably from a dread left feme dil
aftrous occurrence on the Continent ftiould
complete its own disrepute, and drive Its ene
mies to despair. It is conscious, that the
public opinio 0, to which it is in a great mea
sure indebted for its fuccefies, especially in
Italy, is now turned against it, in confequcncc
of the numberless vexations imposed on the
people, whofe-hopes have been cruelly blaft
e4, and who, instead oi being delivered from
oppression, have become the viaims of the
moll lhameful perfidy. The Directory is
feaiful left the smallest check should produce
a renewal of the Sicilian I espers; and this
fear must have been encreafcd by the enthuli
aftic joy displayed by all the powers on the
Continent, on the occallon of the late vi&ory
obtained bv Lord Nelson.
