Gazette Of The United States And Daily Evening Advertiser

From an English Paper of March 10.

The liberty of the press, in France, discloses many serious truths, which, had they been uttered only a few months since, would have unavoidably conducted the speaker to the scaffold. The following passage is extracted from a publication printed in Paris in the month of February:

"Our revolution is like a thunder storm, which bursts forth, and destroys without the least possibility of escape. We have framed a revolution, and, out of four and twenty millions of individuals who live in France, not one can tell why we undertook that revolution, and where it is to stop! We rush on like madmen, without a will, and without an idea of our own. We applaud our successes, and scoff at our misfortunes; and all the while we are convinced, that our revolution was not made for the benefit of the people, but for that of a set of men who are contesting among each other the suffrages of the people, that they may assume their authority. We have seen the factions of Orleanists, Girondists, Brissotists, Maratists, Hebertists, Robespierrists, Jacobins, Terrorists, and Moderates, succeed each other. Now, it is the faction of Journalists which has gained the greatest preponderance. The public does neither see, nor judge, but through them. These gentlemen are constantly busied with cutting out work for the Convention; and every motion to be proposed, as well as every decree to be enacted, is prepared, beforehand, in the periodical publications of the Journalists. Let the objects be political, civil, military or economical, all are subjected to their censure and animadversions."
