BY AN AMERICAN Recently returned from Europe. ** Heareux, toates les fois que je mddite snr les gouvememensj de " tronver toujours dans mes recherches, de nouv^es raisons d'aimer " celui de men pays. " Rovsseaul C if not with an eye of indifference, at leasts with- out feelings of dismay ; but, it is our misfor- tune (hat the character of our internal admini- stration, of our moral habits and of our foreign relations, — that our laws and liberties depend; in a great degree, upon a proper undtfs...tand- ing of the genius and dispositions of the French government. Our destinies appear to me no otherwise ambiguous, than as they rest upon the sentiments which I wish to see universally predominant, — of cordial detestation for the profligacy, and of timely resistance to the ma- chinations of a power, which, circumscribed by no law, and checked by no scruple, medi- tates the subjugation of this, as well as of every other country. There are, I know, many among us, whose predilections for French alliance, no calcula- tion of consequences may be effectual to sub- due, — but I am well satisfied, that we have a great majority, who need but a just sense of the character and effects of French despotism, to be induced to unite in opposing whatever attempts may be made, either by treachery or violence, to yoke us to the car of the common enemy of mankind.
