" 1 am not at all Turprifed that you, who are at the distance of 1200 leAfrues fr*m France, (hould be unable to form a judgment r»fpe£ting her real condition ; when wc, who are t he spot, after hearing twenty persona speak on tJ,e fi>bje&, can only fay that we are acquainted with twenty con tradictory opinions. But one thiiij ; s clear, and tlrikes every body, which is, that th. Convention is not pofleffed of the confidence of t' <e people. Unable to extricate affaiis from their-jrefent em barrafiments it leaves all to the spur of th. moment, and goes, on committing blunder after blunder : and while it believes that its own prefenation de pends on the continuation of two of it's number in the ensuing legislature, it att.mpts to perfnade the people that such a measure will be ufe ful; but they arc so incredulous as not to believe > it. '1 he Convention is now divided into two parties; the ThermiJorians, led by Tallien, and the Giroii .lines, at the head of whom are Lotivet, Doucet, '.nd orhers. The firlt of these parties, which molt <ireads the restoration of the royal government, from a diffidence of its own fuffioiency, endeavors W) ftrcngthen#tfelf with every man of energy and «alcnts who pofiefTes the fame enmity to the ancient regimen. The Girondines, on the contrary, are full of •confidence in themselves, and believing that tciror is a ufeful instrument in politics, notwithstanding they fulfered so much themselves by the fame fyflem under Robefpicrre, have no objection to fee it re newed, provided they are allowed to direst toe np jjlication. There are only two men in the Convention who polfefs the general elleem—Boifly d'Anglas, and Latijuinais. These men are equally diftniguifiud V fcy their firmnefs and courage, as by a dilintereftcd «ttachnent to their country, and an invariable de tire to rcftore her to the pcacefut enjoyment of ge nuine liberty. In order t» form an opinion of the general spirit the of the departments, it is neceffiry to diftinguith between the towns and the country. In the latter on so dispirited aud indifferent are the people about kef forms of government,' that the conftitutiou of the is a mildell republic, or the despotism of Morocco, would be equally submitted to. In the towns,on the contrary, the dread of terrorism is carried to such an extreme, that, upon an attempt to revive it, to I the inhabitants would instantly dcflroy all who has were known to be its advocates. And so sensible cei are the Girondines of this, and so approhenfive of It its effe&s, that it fufficiently accounts for their un- cei common eagerness to have two thirds of the Con- or vention re ele£led into the legislative assembly. me The towns wi(h for such a share of liberty as will nci ensure to every man th«t portion of happiness t6 wii 1 which he is fairly entitled : and of course it will be far very difficult to persuade (hem to surrender one of T1 1 their most valuable rights, that of ele&ihg their fto own representatives. Those delegates, therefore, who attempt to forbid their confhtuents to exercise this right, canriardly expect to succeed. vei In the mean while, Louis the 18th is at Verona, it. surrounded by the flower of the ancient court.— cei He talks of nothing but the neceflily of an a& of vvl obliovion and pardon for all that is past j of the ed happy effe&s of an union of parties ; and of a m< frank and generous reconciliation with allhiscoun- ac trymen. And in return for all these magnanimous concelfions, all his majeity requires is, that he (hall be permitted to return surrounded with his noblefle, without whom he thinks that the throne would be void of due splendor ; with his parliaments, which he calls the natural prote&ors of his people ; and with the whole feudal economy, without wjuch the people would never resume the flatiop, for, jvhich C< Heaven intended them, nor he be enabled to re- fr< eftablirti the two fuperipr orders in their antient g' rank and importance. Hitherto this reasoning of Louis the 18th has A not made many proselytes in the towns. For al though the inhabitants are quite willing that his majesty should reign over fubjefts, confiding wholly of nobility and clergy ; the third estate, that is, the great mass of the people, fecm to think that l e their happiness does not depend on tb« haughty ; n and futile exercise of certain privileges engrofled f e on parchment, or on any proud preteiWM>n» found ed on a religion which prefcribesfelf-deaul and hu- tl mility to its votaries. yi As all the inhabitants of the towns have been t [ more or less concerned in the revolution, they don't t< seem in the leaf! disposed to give an account of th ir past conduct to Loyis the xßth and his courtiers, h In this city particularly we have such apprehensi ons of being condemned at least to a contribution to rebuild the Baftile, that we seem inftindlivcly to a , be governed by the fame opinions concerning it, ( as prevailed at the time of its dellruftiiw. h The country will always follow the example of n lc the towns. In them relided the governor, the in- r , y tendant, and all the hierarchy of power before the f, revolution ; and tince that period deparmental and e m diftrift officers. From them the country has re ceivcd its laws ; and such will be the dependance so a '5 long as the towns continue to be the feats of power, t lr inflru&ion, and primary offices, in the body po- f r- l' r ' c - n But the present is certainly the moH j m momentous that has occurred for the last (ix years. r lie We are drawing near either to such an ettablifh- e U, ment as, beinjj adapted to the people, will once (■ — more render France an happy country, or to new t in convulsions, that will (hake and rend her to pieces. a >1, But if I may hazard an opinion on a fubjeft of ( n, such magnitude, it is—That the aggravation of it. our past and present evils itfelf, will lead us to t annihilate the cause." t 2, t tC> Late European News by the arrival of a schooner ' last evening fram Belfaft. 40 — 1 f LONDON, September 16. 01 fc. _ ojnuan ■ 1 :re The meeting of Parliament sor } the dispatch of bufinef?, is, according to the most prevalent report, , fixed for Thursday the 29th ofOftober.

From my other avccations of business, in- beitig acquainted with'what is there called the mid ia- dling, I mean mercantile orders of life, I found a ce general spirit of animosity to pervade through the fe- whole. The lapse of twenty years has not so far to condensed the mantle of oblivion to the eye of Bri ad tain, as not to view with jealousy, envy, and refer.t on ment, her once loyal and obedient colonics, arising, ain andperhaps to rivalempire, in the contemplation of the freedom of her republican constitution ; which, ay by holding up the mirror to monarchical & aritlo i'as cratical pride, discovers the deformity of their form for and figure ; reflecting at the fame time, that the draugfit of freedom (lie is now attempting to make :an her enemies disgorge, was firft tailed at the pools nfe of America. ' A national haughtiness begot from of the conscious fnperiority of their naval ltrength,- travels through every rank and grade of her fub he jeits. ;x- As her resentment and pride have ever governed ho her conduit, more than her policy—war would els have been *h'e fate of this country, had not the of timely intcrpofitioli of Mr. Jay arrelled the arrow, lit, and diverted the storm. Peace, doubtless ought eir to be thepole-ftar of America ; under its umbrage, we are not only secure from the convulsions of the, ft. old world, but from its storms derive wealth sn4 population, the great national sinews of our cohu try. a The agricultural improvement of Great-Britain, to her buildings and curiosities, afford ample enter or taioment to the eye of the naturalist, antiquarian, nd nnd artist. -I «m, much refpefted and dear Sir, /OS your excellency's mod obedient, and very humble servant: Ycftertlay, at 12 o'clock, Mr. Profcflbr Keht began his course of Law Lectures in the College Hall.
