One of the greatest advantages which, according
to Robertjot's opinion, the Republic is to derive
from this extension of its teiritory, is this, that the
navigation on the Rhine, Meufe, and Scheldt, be
ing thus secured to France, the English will be de
prived of a considerable branch of their commerce.
But ought we not to suppose, that for this very
reason, our Government will use its utmost endea
vours to fruflrate the execution of that project;
and, in concert with the Emperor, drive the French
baek behind their former limits. A peace, if con
cluded according to Robertjot's project, would be
far more dangerous for this country and the British
commerce, than the prosecution of the war.
Betides, it is obvious what an enormous power
France would acquire by the addition of so fruitful,
populous, rich, and iudultrious a country; and
what preponderance it would give to a vain and
ambitious Government, which, placed at the head
of a warlike and restless people, would hold in its
hands the political balance of Europe, and direct it
at pleasure.
Real, Editor of the" Journal Je I'Oppofition,"
which is publicly fold at Paris, diaws the follow- j
ing comparison between the manner of making de- !
crees, which now prevails in the Convention, and ,
that which was followed before the 9th Thermi- j
der : " Robespierre had his pious dames; and the ,
history of these indefatigable goflips, who since the,
6th of October have borne so diilinguilhed a parti
in the Revolution, would be interelting enough.— !
Their reign is over, but nevertheless we are under!
the government ot women. Hoarse voices from the !
galleries, it is true no longer dictate decrees ; but
now a-days a pretty girl in a snug room proposes,
in a tone so sweet, projedts mofl interesting. Poli
tics come so charming from her lips! (he solicits
with so much grace ! (he denounces in a tone so o
verwhelming, that it is impossible net to yield ; and
thence originate the versatility and ficklenefs which
• certain Jegiflators so grievously. How many
decrees were dictated by t:ie galleries under Ro
bespierre ! how many projedts are enforced by the
sighs in the boudoir, undcrTalhen, Cheaier, Lou
vet ! &c."
On Tuefftay lafl his Grace the Duke of Norfolk
ascended into the lantern of the higheit spire in the
ileepleofSt. Nicholas's Church New-Callle, which
is now repaiiing and ornamenting. We do not
suppose that any Duke in England was ever before
placed in so exalted a situation.

FRANCE.
PARIS September 11. t
The Terrotifls, expelled from the Primaly AT (
./emblies of Paris, have taken refuge in the galle
ries of the Convention, for the purpofc of applaud- t
ing, as during the reign of Robespierre, the very 1
revolutionary motion, which have been made of t
late in the Convention. The 30 or 40 placards, .<
with which Government at a very grec.t expence
daily cover the walls of this commune, have not 1
prevented the decree of re eleiftioo to be rejedted t
by almofl all the fedtions of it.—These placards set r
forth, that the Terronfm which the Convention f
is charged with, is a term void of sense, and that it a
never has exitled. "In this manner, (fays the i
Courier Univerfel,) immense firms of public mo- b
ney are daily spent on behalf of Tome ambitions C
. fellows, who affedt to suppose that the deftrudtion si
of their capricious power is unavoidably connedted n
with the ruin of France. No ! the French Peo- 'tl
pta will never believe, that Pro-confu!s who have ti
devaluated the Departments, and carried death and E
i!efpair into every family, should alone bf able to r<
make therfl happy." On the other hand, all print- fa
»ed bills, deftiiied to unmask the ambitious and in- iij
terefte views of Government, are at night time C
torn down by its satellites, and several of them who
were apprehended in the fad, and condudted to ct
the guard-house, have produced for their jaftiiica- w
tion the orders of the police, to take down all
placards, which are not in favour of Government. th
" What a fpedtacle, (fays the Courier Univer- w
fel), do we naw fee exhibited by the Convention ! cb

with which the Jacobins in the galleries (hake the de
hall. Madmen ! these shouts of ■'applsufe, which an
they now lavilh on you, also resounded in praise of Tl
Robespierre, whom they afterwards sent to the
fcaffjld. Are you determined to lose your career -tio
in the fame manner you began it, by rearing about pr<
you a-bulwark of the vilelt refufe of society, and Se
the dregs of human kind ? Neither 0111 misfortunes,
nor your own have taught you what you have to
expect from the horde you are cajoling, and calling gai
' -p.. They caress you to-day, and flab flit
ng you to-morrow. If you throw ysurfelves again
