"The Emperor Paul is acting the part of a mad man. He is sending every body who distinguishes himself by the least liberality, to Siberia. Poor Kotzebue is among the number. The spirit, however, that is now abroad, is not to be thus crushed. People here talk very freely.—, with whom I have had several conversations, appears to think a new order of things is not very distant all over Germany. I have conversed with people, who have lately been travelling in Denmark and Germany, and the general opinion seems to be that the great majority of all classes are in favour of the principles of the French Revolution. At the public gardens beyond Altona, in the king of Denmark's dominions, I heard them play, to my astonishment, the Marseillaise Hymn and Ça ira. Public opinion, I am however informed, calls for such airs."

The Emperor Paul is acting the part of a mad man. He is sending every body who distinguishes himself by the least liberality, to Siberia. Poor Kotzebue is among the number. The spirit, however, that is now abroad, is not to be thus crushed. People here talk very freely.—, with whom I have had several conversations, appears to think a new order of things is not very distant all over Germany. I have conversed with people, who have lately been travelling in Denmark and Germany, and the general opinion seems to be that the great majority of all classes are in favour of the principles of the French Revolution.
