The following pi&ure of Paris in the ir.ontk of June
lail has been transmitted by a German traveller,
reiidiiig in that capital, ajid pucjithcd in a Get-
mmi paper.
" Six o clock in the morning to be
fcen in the liretts but women and children with
pale faces, carrying to thuir refpeiftive habitations
the allowance of bread for which they have watched
one hfilF the night at the bakers. At 9 o'clock the 1
.fecne io qtsite changed, then you may lee swarms of |
stock-jobbers, ha'Umng with bags full us gold anci
lilver coins to the palace of equality wjjeve tliey {"pe
culate on the fall of Affignats, the Erie or the nati
onal domains See. and gain from three to four bun
dled per cent in a lingle hour ; from the palace ot e
quality, they go to hear the debates of the Nati
onal Convention. At two o'clock is the usual hour
for ; a'lmoft every inhabitant of thi&t'ity has
become a merchant or (hopkeeper and every man of
some property has t;«nnsformed his house into aftore
where all kinds of merchandizes are foundingreat
quantity. Strangers and friends are well received
in these houses, the greatest abundance reigns on
the tables and the best wine is drank there. Poli
tical topics are so rarely touched at tha table, that
a body would think the Republic was in peace with
all the world. Aftrr dinner it is cuflomary to vi
lit the theatres, fifteen of which are daily crowded
in such a manner that a little before the beginning
! of tha exhibition, a place is hardly to be found.—
The ballets and operas are executed with extraordi
nary pomp and fplnndor ; from the theatre they
go to gaming houses, where plenty of gold and sil
ver is to be seen. At the reftautateur's may
have a supper for 50 livres and chufe from among
60 to 80 different dilhes, you have the whitett
bread, the best wines, and even what is called deli
cacies in such profufion, that you believe yourfclf
transported by some magic power into the regions
of plenty. The Greek dress among the females is
already out of fafhion, they »ow wear a kind of a
chcmii'e with a girdle which is wore very high—
Tho' the dress of both sexes is very simple it is nfi
verthelefs extremely expensive because of the many
particular ornaments belonging thereto ; carriages
and among these many elegant ones make also again
their appearance. All the hotels and even the room|
in private houses are filled with people ; llrangert
who arrive at Paris are often obliged to run from
one inn to another befvre they can find a lodging.
In short Paris is Hill now what it formetly was, tie
picture of the grealeft abundance contrafled by the
greatest want.

FROM THE I N. Y.J DAILY ADVERTISER,
" The devil is in the fellow," said one democrat
to another on reading a number of Camillus, " for
I am sure that he is full of sophistry, and yet I can
not pofiibly point my lingerto the place." " Ah!"
said the other, '-J Jonathan has told us that this wri
ter converses with the wicked one, and I now veri
ly believe it—what he writes is so like truth, that
he can be no other than an anjrel of darknef* trar.f-
• jrmed into an angel of light." Just with this con
versation I entered the room, and was immediately
alked my opinion of Camillus and the confequencc
of his writings. Finding that they were extreme
ly perplexed, and feiring left their despondency
might have a bad effect upon others, I addrefled
them nearly in the following manner :
" Gentlemen," said 1, " your inability to de
tect the errors of this writer is no argument that lie
is found. His errors do not consist so much in his
pieces, as in the foundation on which they reft.—
He takes for granted that the treaty is goed, and
then goes about to prove it ; whereas the treaty is
bad, and thus his whole fuperllructure mull fall.—
He is like a builder, who instead of laying a foun
dation and proceeding upwards, begins at the
top and works downwards. ' This lalt fentenc*
I observed they could not fully comprehend, but
it gained their confidence, in me, as one able to
explain the whole affair, and [ proceeded thus:
" Gentlemen, you alledge that Camillus conver
ges with his satanic majesty ; for my part, had Rich
ard Brothers mentioned him in his 1 Revealed
Knowledge,' 1 should believe him to be the great
red dragon, prophesied of in the Revelation, which
deceiveth the whole world." To this they seemed
to give entire credit, and I concluded with advising
them, that if they had 3ny scruples about the bad
ness of the treaty, to keep thefn to themselves ;
that if they could not read Camillus without dan
ger, not to read him at all j and that, above all,
they cught torepofe Unbounded confidence in their
leaders, who were as infallible as any Pope who ever
filled the chair of St. Peter.
"In a future number I may difclwfe the secret,
who Camillus is, and the import of the name. At
present, I (hall only remark, that fomc of my bro
ther democrats spell it Camelus, which lignihes a
Camel, and they apply these words, It is easier for
a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for
this author to be right. In this I am inclined to
believe, that they arc millaken, and am rather of
opinion, that, as it is evident this author can write,
that he can also spell and write his name truly.
This may require, h«wercr, some difcuflion.

To the President of the States
'S IR,
THE proof of ypm fallibility may be dednced
not less from the political heresy I have cited, and
to which you have given all the fanftion of your
name and authority, than from the precipitate and
extraordinary manner, in which you have executed
the mod important aft of your life, the ratification
of the British treaty. How far cabinet intrigue,
which fiiuns the light, might have contributed to
that irresolution of conduct, in whiclu according
to the voice of public fame, having oVrce resolved
riot to ratify the treaty, you so quickly revelled that
determination, mull reft on future developement.
Other circumltances juflify the charge of "precipi
tancy and rashness. The Senate adjourned the
day of June ; a few days after, the treaty was

Town-meetings were quickly convened in Bolton,

Wilmington, Charlelloti in South-Carolina, and
Various other places ; all of which having tellified
their disapprobation of it, and actuated by the com
mon apprehension that you would immediately pro
ceed to aft upon the treaty, dispatched, by ex
pretles, addrefles and petitions, couched in terms
of refpcctful decency, requesting and urging you
to suspend or withhold your ratification. This,
moment seems to have been seized upon by you.
cabinet advisers, at the moil precious that could
occur, to seal the treaty ; to discountenance, and
if possible, to arrell the progress »f public opinion ;
to cenfute and insult what then appeared and dill
appears to be the major public sentiment icfpe&iug
it ; and to invite support from the Btiiifh faitioo
and all their adherents thro'out the United States.
Accordingly your answer to the town meeting at
Bolton, which was the firtt that you gave, appears
sure ; insinuating, that under the impulse of sudden
und enonedus impreflions they had not conlulted
the substantial and permanent interests m{ their
:ountry, which, without regard to personal, local
ind partial considerations, had unilormly directed
four system of adminiftratiei) : Then declaring,
hat '* the constitution is the guide which you can
lever abandon," you boldly advance the political
lerefy, which I have before cited, and conclude
his paragraph of your answer, with another infi
-1 nation, that yotirfelf and the Senate have fought
he truth through the channel only of a temperate
ind well informed investigation. In the last para
graph you inform them, that you had resolved on
he manner of executing the duty be'ore you, and
hat to the hig)j responsibility attached to it you
Yeely submit ; auth'oritlng them to make known
:hofe fentimeßts, as the grounds of your procedure. J
Every fer.tence of this extraordinary antwer requires j
ind.will receive a particular comment: fraught
\itk contradi&ion, and bearing indiscriminate cen-1
urc, equally on those who approved, as thole who :
lifapproved the treaty, it carries with it the highelt j
ividence of hade, intemperance and paflicn. But |
sir, it is my present purpose only to rematk on the
particular contradi&ion and indelicacy, arising oat
jf two circumstances of your condyft in this buii
lefs. The fir ft is, that on the 28th of J:ly, in
his original answer to the feledtmen of Bolton, you
leclare, that you had then resolved on the imtiner
jf executing the duty befere you ; and oh the 14th
if August, tha day you ratified the treaty, you
ranfmit to the people of Wilmington a copy of
:hat original answer as applicable to them. Www,
Sir, if there bs truth in the report which has pro
bably come forth through some leaky vessel of your
idmioiftration, that, at one time, you had resolved
lot ta ratify the treaty without some further con
;:flion on the part of Great-Britain than was ad
,'iled or recommended by the Senate, it may be
ftferred frotai the tenor of your answer to the peo
ple of Bolton of tire 2Sth of July, that you Ud
hem so resolved ; and y«t, on the 14th »f August,
pin you nulled tl»r ireacy, without iuititer can
:effion than was sdvifed by the Senate, you icier
he people of Wilmington to the answer you had
icfore given to those of Boston ; a circumstance,
>ir, which in connexion with what I have before
tared, manifeltly involves contradiction and evasion.
n the other inftar.ee, in which I (hall remark, I
reely applaud, as hitherto I have freely condemned ;
>f fending to such portions of your conlhtuents,
s, in the exeicife of their constitutional rigjit, had
lifapprobated your treaty, the copy of an anfvOer,
nd yielding to the weight of public cenfire at a
ondmS so improper, you hire now given an ori
ginal, and not a duplicate answer, to the ftlefr men
ifCharleftown near Boston, published in tie Daily
\dvertifer of Thursday. In this inftanct, 1 will
irefume, that you have acted on your oVn inde
isndcnt judgment, uninfluenced by tlx- pernicious
ounfel of those evil advisers, whose private views,

inflability of the French, and the idea o a irvyly.
tioiv, they rufli intoHhe other extreme.
JL judge our Peasantry, Sailers, Soldiers, and
Merchants, as very loyal, (a term yoy hate, but
expreftivc of try meaning,) whiiit the Mauufac- .
turers and Dotneftics in towns are many of them
ditaffected, but these latter ace effectually retrained
and kept in check by the Gentlemen and Yeo-?.
inanrv voiunteets, who are regularly trained and
accoutred-»-theie, together with the Regulars, mi
litia, Fencibles and Navy, (all vaitly ttreng'thened,)
form between 4'and 500,000 men, in Great-Brt-.

believe me although fijeh numbers kave entered
4he navy, and army abroad, the country where
ever I have been (fat inland from Dover,) fencing

and yet the county is computed to e«ntain near
400,0110 people ! (Lancalhire) and its neighbour
Yorklhiie, 7504000.
As for many folks, they really believe England
is too populous, and too wealthy—or rather they
should fay our wealth is too unequally divided,—
but that evil inevitably Occurs wherever trade and
cummcrce abound, provided good laws fecurc to
every one the fruits of his labors, and th« inheri

population and wealth are too our minillry
are using very effectual methods of diminishing

T have taken some pains to at-'i tain, and then de
cide what credit as a putlcitian,"y , ou o»-
to give the many idle and faife repoits circulated
in your American papers (as well as our own,)
and fabricated by ignorant, or violent prrjuuiceil
persons Though you and 1 disapprove of his

fellow, yet the minority in Parliament are peihaps
equally strong in abilities, though not in power ;
you must alf» in candor allow (however nnwillingj
that the government or conllitution of this lfland,

calculated for a nation like this—ancient, populous,
and wealthy. The security of prrfun and pioper

and its Concamtlunts greatly need reform, but I
defpairsof feeing it. Thus have I expatiated for

whereas here we are rarely blefTcd with i clear day!

pleasing contrast do our lovely, fair and rosy female
domcllics, present to the aforefaid gentty ! I should
have hk d America better, had it not been for that
horiid and unnatural mixture, which I hope will,
be the wife policy of your government to lefien,
in pioportion as the white population increafcs.—
Since I lett town I dont recollect feeing a Black or
Mulatto ! and lut one Frenchman ! As to our pea
santry of either fcx, they are certainly the hand

expressive countenances, snore indicative of a cutle
pcretiation arid (agacity,—doubtlels proceeding in
a greßt degree from their superior education, sense
of their own confluence, and perhaps in part from
the peculiar nature of your clime, keen and clear !
The general prevalence of cold weather, plenty of
luccuient diet, and cleanly habits, easily account in
my opinion for the beauty and jolly looks of the
English, Scots Eowlanders, Normans, Danes,
Swedes, and Saxons—these and your Nqkv-Eng
