The news from St. Thomas's wears every semblance of probability and of authenticity. The lateness of the dates, the characters of the three men said to have prostrated the silly Republic, and the circumstantiality of the account, all concur to render the statement worthy of implicit confidence.
The monstrous and sanguinary Republic of France, hath at length arrived at its last hour; Its satellites have, by the blessing of God, been previously extinguished, and its votaries, expiring, already bite the dust. The dawn of Peace breaks upon the World; and long suffering Reason shall soon erect her persecuted head over the crest-fallen genii of illumination. If the last mission sent by any Independent nation to the blood-stained Usurpers, whose overthrow is about to be consummated, should not, unhappily, excite the resentment of His Most Christian Majesty, we see nothing to preclude the commencement of an universal reign of peace and concord.
