Of ihejinancet of France—From a late
French writer.
In Finances, the convention is richer
■ than united Europe. Seven-ninths of
! the foil belonging to the republic ; and
i this continual pledge of paper credit is
j now become inexhaullible, by the rapi.
dity with which property is ex. hinged,
and always to the advantage of the as
embly. They have already conceived
the project to nationalize the whole foil
of France ; to register the territory,
like a public debt, in the Grand I,i
vre ; and to refurtiethe property of tlx;
Clergy and nobility, puivhafed, as they
pretend, at a price much inferior to
their a&ual value. Near five hundred
millions (about twenty million pounds
itfrling) in gold and fitver, are deposit
ed in the coffers of the National Con
vention. The mint of Pan's, to which
was transported all the bullion of the
fupprefled provincial mints,"contains near
70 millions, [about 3,ooo,ooolfteiling]
of metals, and daily additions are thrown
in, by depofiti, collections and penal
ties, Thp plunder of the churches pro
duced thirty-two million? [near 1,350,
0001. fterlifig] aud through the whole
extent of France r.o longer now remains
a lacred vale, not even in the domedic
cbapels. Though improbable, it is not
impofiible, that the French Republic
will one day present itfelf to combat
with the money of every other nation,
at a fime when they have all theirs,
when France is free from taxes [the
public domains m;iking this eafv] and
when all the powers are red need' to the
[.Jiift extremity.
Opinion of Public Spirit.
Every day augments our fears; the
crimes of Fiance are exhausted, but the
crimes of Greece and Rome begin. A
new costume has taken place in this na
tion, destined to preserve nothing of its
habitudes and antiquity. The empire
of the senses rules the multitude, and
the Grecian and Roman Robes, will
soon deprive Frenchmen of the remem-
I brance of their country. Gy nmafia, conr
j fes and wrestlings, triumphal feitivals,
J branches of oak and the Pantheon,
theatres dedicated to the people, and
formed upou the great models of anti
quity, which ages have refpe&ed, will
long mitigate their flarsry with the
varnished colours of liberty. A religi
on whose augurs bring down the god
j defies of vitlory and Justice upon this
J renovated earth, may perhaps make their
J old regrets less poignant, and their new
J vows sincere. Thcfe principles which
j have given birth to public schools, fuf
j, ficiently illustrate their intentions, and
this generation vyhofe infancy has been
nouriihed by crimes, they will make
dangerous to tf!e universe from the
neceflky of exertifing its courage, and
maintaining a military republic ; and by
i difirmination of principles, the most'
; falfe, but yet the mod fedu£live that
men had ever to combat, we (hould
every where fee a foverrignty ufurpe'd,
a lawless equality, and robbery legiti
mated.

The foregoing order is in analogy
with the whole chain of revolutionary
proceedings in France. The whole fyi
teiinof the violent party has been to force
a 1 indifferent,all moderate people and all
men of doubtful fentim£nts, to renounce
their neutrality, and take an active part
in the measures of tlie day. Perhaps
j this rrtey be good policy ; necellity or
I the exigency of the time's will at lead
furniTn a pretext for such rigorous Heps.
It (hould however be remembered that
such edi&s tho ushered into the world
with the faci:iating titles of Liberty and
Equality, are in offence rank despotism.
It it fuid of the Euglifh Teit laws, that
tho they may make hypocrites,they can
never make Chrilhans or churchmen:
so the French decrees refpefting the
Priests, Emigrants and lukewarm revo
lutionifls,tho they may make hypocrites
they will never rtiake patriots. One
tiling however, they will certainly doyand
this seems to be the end of all f.ich ri

to quit their poffeffmns, which by a ncu
compliance with the terms of the law,
