From the Vergennes Gazette.

Into Germany 120,403 Frenchmen have immigrated. Those sansculottes have entered and troubled the repose of all countries on the whole globe. Thousands of them are in the United States, aiding demos, demons, preaching in every corner against our government making a law to curb sedition, and against giving the administration power to send out of the country those aliens, who have escaped a gallows in their own, and still merit one in this! It is no secret that the directory have spies in all nations, who are both spies upon one another and on the nation they mean to conquer. Circumstances are such as effectually conceal these spies from being discovered. They almost universally pretend that they are nephews or first cousins to Louis Capet, and royalty forced them to become exiles, from famous Talleyrand down to the meanest holler. Still they hear the pretended injury of their own country with cheerfulness, and, like the Spaniel, love it the more for the punishment they received. In decisive measures, they have the intolerable presumption to justify or extenuate the measures of the directory and condemn those of this government and of individual citizens. They attempt to overawe political opinions and threaten clergymen and friends of government, who are most accustomed to speak and write on principles. For when the press and individuals shall cease to declare the intrigue of domineering sansculottes to the public, a French invasion and conquest of a country will be an easy task. This has been the case in the subdued nations of Europe, as Italy, Venice, Switzerland, &c. The instance of Talleyrand should never be forgotten. He pretended, when he came to this country, that he was an exiled priest of the high order of bishops, which was accredited. But succeeding events have shown that he was only a more artful spy. No sooner does this exile return to France, than he is made first minister of state and the persevering enemy of the United States, more formidable because he knew our situation better; and bitter in proportion to the friendship which that exiled bishop received at our hands. Robinson, in his proofs of conspiracy in Europe against all religions and government, has discovered that to effect this, the most successful plan is to seize on the education of youth, as well as to influence the writers in the public papers. If the youth, whom they instruct, can be secured, the conquest is made before the community even dream of danger. Political principle, atheism, deism and immorality can easily and imperceptibly be instilled into the unsuspecting, inexperienced mind along with the forming hand of private instruction. American institutions are as important as American principles: and the extinction of the former will rapidly annihilate the existence of the latter!
