Authentic news from France.
Extract of two letters from a gentleman of undoubted veracity, whose information may be depended upon, now in France, to his friend in this Town, dated Paris, Oct. 20, 1793.
"The state of France is much altered within a few weeks for the better. Liberty must triumph, and I thank God there is such a nation as the French to defend her cause—some distress must happen—some wrongs must be committed;—but the principle is eternal, and must finally prevail."
"October 25.
"I cannot help sending you this, in hopes it will reach you by the same vessel that I wrote my last. The affairs of France are much altered within a few days, and every appearance justifies the most sanguine expectations in favour of their final success. Nothing could have placed them on so good a footing as the total destruction of all their internal enemies, or rather civil wars: but they have not only done that, but appear in a fair way to repel all the combined armies. They have been beaten upon the Rhine, a complete surprise was effected; but in every other part they have the advantage, should Toulon be re-taken which is quite probable, (as the French have driven the Spaniards and English quite into the town) I think the dance will be up. I cannot but believe, that in case France falls, America will follow."
