FROM THE SAME.
THE FRENCHMAN

Monsieur Printer,

Be gar, me will tell you one touch stone,
as well as dat Anglais, who talk like his ship
guns shoot, without beau coup de la politesse.
Me be one gentie homme, and derefore me
no tell a you dat you be one vitkrape for
print de torv letter; for you know ver well
dat de Anglois be all torv, and de Francois all
wig.--But me will prove as plain as you see
de nose on my face, dat de friendship of our
grand Empereur be wort great deal more to
de Unit State, dan de friendship de l'Anglais.

1. He tell a you dat de Anglois eat up all
your vittel. Well den, is it good ting for
strangere to come up eat up your vittei?
De Francois be no gormand. Dey leave all
your vittel for yourself, and for liule of your
mony, will give you many tings to make you
laugh whilst you be eat him. Say de old
proverb "laugh and be fat." Well den, it
is better to keep you vittel to make you fat,
and to buy of us de curiosity to make you
laugh, wid de wine and de brandy, to make
you cut caper, dan to give Jean Bull your vit-
tel for his dam big bale of blanket, and rug,
and oder ting, which no make you fitter
laugh. Dere be more merry in one leerk
Tom a Tit, wid wire under his tale to make
him flutter, and hop and chirp. wid touseed
oder curieux Francois invention dan in all
Jean's bale; and our brandy make you forget
your care, but dis bale ver often make you duk
of him. And we can spar you two or tree
hundred tousand Francois to help keep you
from make yourself sick, by try to eat up all
your vitte yourself.

2. He say dat le grand Empereur no love
you. What grand lie is dis? Did not le grand
Empereur tell you he love you? Did he not
say he love all Amerique from the pole to de
nord, to his broder who lives seven or eight tousand miles off on toder side du monde? But
side Jean Bull catch himself in dis story, for
he say too, which is ver true, dat le grand Empereur be de universal lover, and you can
believe dat he love every body and no love you.
Parbleu, he love you better dan be fore de
Swede. He will give you some of his im-
perial blood, and if it be only de half im-
periate breed, by cross him two or tree times,
like you cross de merino mouton, you can
soon make him de whole breed. But if he
give you de double imperial breed, it be tree
times favour in one ting, as double refined sagre is in de belly tree single sugar.

3. He say dat we no talk your languag. Dat
be ver great convenient. For if l'Empereur shouid call you fool, rouge, brack-
ster, coward or de like, you have good ap-
portunity to no understand him, and take it
be no like our custom, if he give you one box
upon de ear, or kick, you can shrug up your
shoulder, and say dat de idioms of nations in
dat de greatest honneur de Empereur can do
to people in some contree be to cut off dere
head, and dat a box or kick is only ear mark
of furder imperial favor. Now you blige to under-
stand les Anglois, and to fight him if he
Perseverance and the like kick from one mean jobber
Fierce between one kick from un grand Empereur
To join him. Beside, dere be very great dif-
ference on strike you. Whether you love high or
stock.

Sacre Dieu, vat ver large he he tell now. You

have tousand ver bad quality like us. For de
sel Gazette, and in de now old Moniteur?
instance. You no hear in old times of de Bris-

Have you not great many newspaper ver like
des? Dis Jean roist bouef be fout comique in
pretend de Anglois no hurt you, and dere
your interest be ver much like dere interest.

De reverses is true. Your interest and the
imperial interest be quite the same. You want
vent for your commodity, and he want vent
for his commodity, but det dam old Jean Bull,
make great many of his old bull swim about in
de sea, wid hundred great hollow horn, from
he head to he tail, wid which dey bellow very
much loud & trow lump of iron big like pum-
kin for knock out people brain--if l'Empereur
can only got des young Bull, den he can send
you nuf of his commodity, two tree exportation
of which, will furnish vent for your commodity
for ver long time. He say "commerce ex-
ist by an exchange of product." Aha! Dis is
ver plain exchange of product, and by his own
rule ver good commerce. Den--dat rufian
Jean Bull he come mong you, he take hold
any body, he say I will have dis man, he carry
him away, and make him do what he please.
Ah! dueille cruel: Le bon Empereur ave
tousand times more vone. He say kindly
when he got among you like Jean Bull, "gen-
Teu n be so good draw a lot for de honour
of go gather."
