From the Netu-Turk Atiiterva. a " Among the remarkable circumftancet that dis tinguish the revolution in France, are the gteat - changes in opinion which have taken place in rapid fucceflion. The French have always had the cha rafter of a volatile people; more ciftinguiftied for 10 biill ant imagination, than for foiy judgment. The revolution hat afforded ample confirmation of tfer _ jliftnefs of this character. In the eaieer of theii firft viftoriet, and in the t warmth of their enihufiafm for liberty, they em v _ braced a projett of fraternizing with all republics, id «nd waging an eternal War, with all king:, which _ they held to be fynpnymous with tyrants. They declared in convwition, they would never make '•-« peilce with a Monarch. £ Their measures corresponded with these deda rations. Tliey seemed to overlook the inconhften - cy of their proceedings with their own principles. The very ground on which the"y ..ppofed thf com biration powers against their nation, and u „ which all impartial nations will juftify rhem. was I e'f-Jel«nt» aad the right of klf-govi fwtt. 1., *»;iarch'e«l «n*MU, ihey efpouted the f«r«ie principle at the combined power* j they attacked the right of felf government in other nation*. TKisconduft of the French even jultified the combined power*; for what kind of govetnnunt i« best for a particular . nation, is,to be determined solely by that nation ; and on lliitt principle, the French had no more right to attempt to give England and Spain a Republican form of government, than England and Spain h»d to attempt :o continue the monar chy of France. But the opinion* of the French are wonderfully . ctmng-d, as well as thofc of the Combined powct*. The king* jvho united againll France are convinced that forte will never compel the French to change their opinions ; and their right to attempt thia piojeit, was never contended lor with even a (bow of reason. The French en their part have laid aside their a ufaJes againfl tyrants, and formed a tieaty with two of the nod absolute monarch* in Euiope. Inttead of French men fraternizing with none but republicans, we fee them in a league of 1 friendfhip with Sptiin and Prussia, and even with the Ottoman Porte, the moil arbitrary prince on earth. ! Nay, we fee them accept the o filiation of the Sp anifli monarch in favor of the Italian States, one I of which is the Pope. Strange changes these ! But the French, while they disavow their ridi , cu!ous idea* of dethroning all tyrants, will not lay aside the principle of interfering in the domeftie r concern* of other nation*. They cannot divest themlVlvc* of their habits of intrigue. Under the monarchy, the French education wa* directed to this point—to teach the art of difTembling their own thoughts and of difcov>ering thofc of other*. This art, inltead of being banished by the revolu tion, has received new strength and cultivation. It . nevei wa* pra&ifed so much and to so god effect. Indeed the intriguing disposition of the French, is become infinitely more dangerou* than formerly; a* it is furnifbed with a molt imposing influence and mod tffe&ual wea'pon, in disguising its infidion* view* under a ma(k of liberty md twtrictifm —a dis guise wfaich Richelieu and Mazarine could not «fe under kings. Under this specious garti, they have effected a revolution in the free and peaceful city of Geneva, which in faA ruined thotifamls of its befl citiiem, and has placed that feat of fcieflce and liberty un der the control of French politic*. It is a mere fati llite of France. Holland is in a worse fitaation. That country has got rid of fwme feudal evils, but in return (he is a mere colony 01 France : garrison ed by French troops—drained of her money and her arm* and military apparatus —her commerce (lagnant—and faiftion and civil war in her bosom. So totally paralisted aie all the a&ive powers of the Dutch, that it is believed by many, the sea will re gai* poffefiion of great part of her ancient domini on in thalt country. In the United State*, French intrigue has been aiflive ; in success has been great; but its view* have bees muth thwarted, and they are not yet brought to a final result. A deep laid plan of fubjeiling this country to the influence of France was formed or tbree years age ; and some re cent will warrant a belief that a con fpiraoy againlt the conllitution of our country ha* mr.(t aftontfl* and alarm eveiy feo ntft man in America. The united ancf adtive ex ertions of :he demneratic clubs to defeat the effeift of the late Tieaty—to bring an «di'«m on the Pre sident-—and to augment opposition to bi* mcafure* —the falfehood* circulated with industry iefpe£t tng the merits of the Tieaty and the pretended cor ruption of in advocates—the riotous proceedings in many parts of the union, at the instigation of the club*—all announce the views, the determina tion, and the malignity of the cobfpirati.-r*. It is a serious fad, that things are ripening to a ciifis, in the United States ; and my Countrymen, it is yet a qne'tion, whether we are to be governed by our own constitution and the virtuous Wa/h ---ington ; ot by Democratic Clubs. liewarc of petitions now circulating againit the Treaty. They arc » part of a deep-laid conspira cy against our government and liberty. Rejedt those petitions, for by fuppoi"tingibers havct expressed tbemfelves much pleased with your add'rfs to the public, and with tiie principle* whereby you profefs to be regulated in the management of the Columbian Herald By such a line of condiift, you will prove yoiir felves the friends of youi country, and make yuur paper truly in lumental in promoting its welfare. Never relax in your zeal for the rights of your countrymen ; diffufe as much a* poflible the great piinciples which form the balis and (Irength of our independent republic ; Vut discard with care thole calumnies which mutt unavoidably unhinge all order and government. A- tendency to anarchy and confufion necefTarily results from every republican government, and per hajjs that tendency is ((lengthened in proportion as the people arrf free.
