Extract of a private letter,

Paris; July 9 -—=Those who are anxious
to see great events, and who are already
tired of peate need, only excercise a lit
tie patience, dud they will be gratified.
They ought in conscience to allow the
world time to breathy were it only to afford
them leisure to reflect upon what shall be
the cause of the next war.
It is very possible that the nations of Eu-
opd will remain friends for a fow yours: al
though the numerous armies which they
keep on foot, seem to indicate that they
do not entirely confide in each other ; but
the excessive ambition of the United States
and the progrzss of the msurgents of South
America against the Spaniards will in a
2e
and during the war sacrificed immense
sums to that project; but in the first mo-
ment of peace, nine out of ten, of their ma-
aufactories, were ruined ; and that country
where they pay scarcely any taxes, where
here is ten times more land than can be
cultivated, where they boast of the most
aniimited liberty, 1s nevertheless re-
duced to such a state ol distress that
aothing like it is secn in the most miserable
countries of Europe. This is a singular
phenomenon, but the spirit of -ambiiba
which animales the people, rendeds
under these circumstances, doubly 4
for agg randissment ; and in short, WS
dent that they will bring (hCinsel ves uo’
iifficulties with . Eoglaud, The delay
which the cession of the Flovidas by Spain
meets with, and the bill which bas just:
assed in the parliament of Great Britain to
jeter Epglishmen from giving aid to the!
Spanish insurgents, ave proofs that Eng-
land has interposed to prevent the ratifica-
tion of the bargain. This will soon be ap-
parent; and the United States will
take possession, probably by force, of a
country which Spain 15 not able io de-
fend, and which England will not be able to
retake, should it once be in the hands ot
the Americans, }
Spain has her frontier uncovered on the
side of America 3 the latter will justify her
aggressions with the sophisms she is accus-
tomed to employ, whenever she wishes to
strack any of the savage tribes. I'he mur-
der of Arbuthnot and Ambrister was only
a trial which the Americans wished to make
of the patience and forbearance of England ;
the experiment succeeded 1n a manacer that
must flatter American vanity 3 but it kin.
dles the indignation of every good Hagligh-
man ; and renders him impatient ahve
the Americans a lesson of humanity, mod-
sty and moderation.
England has at length put her treasury
in some kind of order ; it is indeed a bad
order ; but itis no longer disorder as has
been asserted; she can therefore speak
more boldly than she could six months ago,
and her internal state is such as should in-
duce her mote than ever to undertake a for-
eign war.
Not having found plenty en the return
of peace, the people have shown them-
selves dissatisfied, and for the first time,
have conceived the idea that war is better
than peace. We speak of the people ; not
of those individuals who see further and
who know that a new war will be desirnc.
tive of the funding-system ; but the people
who only see the immediate effect, that is
to say, universal. employment desire a war. {
Tt employs, say they, a great number of sol
diers and sailors, and a number of men
three times as great, to supply the wants
consequent on war : so that there will be
an abundance of work for the rest of the
population. I know positively that such
are the sentiments of the people, and the
calculations which they make, and if we
could abstract the final consequences,
would not be far wrong,
‘The ministers have made a trial of their
sirengti, and have found it such, that it
will be easy for them, in case of necessity,
to re-establish the ncome-tax. They are
in an attitude that enables them to assume
a very different language from that which
they formerly held. ‘Six moths more will
show what may be expected ; and it is to
America that 1 intreat our politicians to
direct their attention instead of losing their
time iu conjectures concerning what the
Euatopean powers will do ; the latter have
no disposition to go to war ; and no reason-
able motive for so doing.
