We have received by the Liberty, from Bordeaux, a series of papers printed there under the curious title of "Journal des Journaux," to May 10.
Some curious speculations are contained in them on the internal affairs of the country; such of these as are interesting, shall be occasionally detailed.
In the paper of May 10, the following picture of France is given, in an extract from a poem by M. Lebrun, entitled "Les Faits pu?"
J'ai vu mille et mille injustices;
J'ai vu peu de vertus, j'ai vu beaucoup de vices
J'ai vu beaucoup d'affreux et peu de beaux objets;
A nos soupirs j'ai vu le ciel être inflexible;
Les mortels endurcis méconnaître les dieux;
La discorde infernale armer le bras terrible,
Et des usurpateurs, et des ambitieux.
J'ai vu la pudeur exilée,
Le mérite sans protecteur,
La plus sainte foi violée,
Et le bon droit sans défenseur.
