After re calling all their deplomatic agents from A merica, taking our fluj B, and irtlprif.infng our citizens, Franc- offered to treat as if the Convention of 1778 had neveT fce?n broken —This was inadmiflible ; they then pr'opoled a treaty which (houldanfwer the one of '94 with England ; that could not be granted In fliort we differed on the threshold ; they would only do umjuftice it we went to war with England ;as they could not expert we >yould do this, it was in faft a denial cfjuf tice. Perhaps they are governed in their cenduft by hopes that the approaching elec tion will give thtiHi a Prefidmt whose views may more accord to their own ; and that by tendering abortive the present million, they might be inflrumental in opposing the re eleftion of Mr. Adann. I think they will be difappoipted in the servility of the person whefe elcairn tkry mean to favor, and that though he appears at the head of an anti-federal party, he will be found to be a friend of the Conftitution,and a true Amer ican. "We have great rumours nf peace ; but it seems that Austria will only treat for a general one, and the re-eftabli(hment ofa political ballance, whilst France flill wishes separate ones, which in other words means wars and revolutions. The government of Buonaparte, which at firft flopped all t!;e fa&ions, has now yielded to the jacobin spirit; many chiefs are employed, and the purchasers of national and emigrant lands rr afTured ; while he neglefts restoring peace and good order to his country. When he displaced the criminal and incapable Diredlo ry, he declared his happiness could only be complete, and his usurpation jurtified, by the rr-union of the French; by giving to Fiance a representative government in the fen ft of the age and revolution, with liberty of pcrfon and protection of property ; but, alas, it appears lie is only attive to acquire new honor and new glories to aggrandize himfelf j but he is mist keu, for in the eyes of the good and virtuous, he is daily fall ing." Lafl evening a New Comedy, called Ma- HiiifMEKT, was produced for the firft time upon the American Stage, and was well re ceived by a numerous audience. The Play itfelt, has very little, if any claim to origin ality. The ch, rafter of "Mist" the petty manager of a country Theatre" is introduced in a very plealiug manner, and has a good effect. In it we behold conduit brought upon the flage, which is very generally prac tiled behind tlie scenes. However, we be lieve our Manager is tree from a great deal of that fell pride which he reprelented lafl night. 111 the character of Misty he gave universal fatisfaftion, and thep'erftrmers in general used every exertion to make the piece go oil well. As no expcnce, in sce nery and dielfes, has been spared, we hope that a brilliant American audience, will ho nor the Theatre wiih their presence 011 Wed nesday Evening.
