M. de la Fayette appears to be equally the aversion of the Aristocrats and Levellers, both of the old world and the new. It is well known that the French Aristocrats in America, as well as in Europe have always considered him as the enemy of every species of tyranny—whether of the one, the few or the many—There have not been wanting those in this country who have attempted to blast his reputation as the friend of man—and a foreign paper informs us that the emigrants at Luxembourg, attempted to force his apartments in that city—which were at that time not in a castle, but in a private house—they were however prevented.
