•* 4 private letter from Madrid stale?,
♦hat on leaving the Cortes, Kiego, and the
most distinguished Constitutional M*‘n'
v were assassinat jd by tne aervile3;that
ti populace «t Madrid instantly *rose en
jLJ penetrated into the Royal Palace
I 3n i massacred all the Loyal t ainily. e
know not what credit is due to this mtel
fiaence, which we have traced to General
if \ who states,he had seen the letter
to the above purport
-—
yew York, jV/ay 18.
It seem* to be the opinion of many
persons in this country, that France is
Lanch a fretful and uneasy condition,
t.hat the nation is on tho eve ot serious
internal disturbances, at least, if not of
insurrection. Uneasiness there certain
j i8 m France, and almost every where
f se, with the measures of government.
It is in the nature of thing* that a cer
tain portion ot every cominun y shou d
complain of their political circumstan
ces especially it the government under
which they live has in it any considera
ble portion of freedom. There is per
w< as much of this kind of complaint
in Great Britian as in any country on
the globe. Take that nation for an ex
ample If we had but lately been made
acquainted with the public affairs of
Great Britain, and had tor the tirst time
hid opportunity to read the opposition
pipers, and the parliamentary speeches
of Earl Grav, Lord Holland. Lord King
&c. of Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Hob
house, Mr. Br tul.am, Sir Robert Wil
aon, Mr* Bennett, and Mr Creevy. we
•hould at once conclude, not only that
the government was the most corrupt
and oppressive in the woild, but that
the great body of the people were ripe
for insurrection, rebellion and revolu
tion. But knowing that their govern
ment is representative, that mixed with
the principles of monarchy there is a
spirit of freedom anu independence also
aDd that an opposition always exists
who are struggling with all their might
to turn out of place all those who hold
offices of honor and profit, intending
when the opportunity offers to step in
and take their places, the matter is per
feetly understood—it ceases to be for
midable even to the men in power—it
dwindles down to a mere brangle for
place and emolument, while the atlairs
of the government go on as usual, and
there is no danger even of serious dis
turbance. France has interwoven into
her constitution a poriion of freedom al
so Their government is to a certain
extent elective and representative; and
being divided into different branches,
and houses projects for laws are prepa
red, presented, discussed, and auopted
or rejected, somewhat up*»n the plan of
the British Parliament and the Ame
rican Congress. This course of procee
ding produces debate, and the accounts
we from time to time receive of their
discussions, are calculated to make us
at this distance, believe that they are
upon the very verge of internal commo
tions. The manners of the French are
quite different, in all respects, from
those ofthe people of Great Britian, or
of this country. When engaged in de
bate. the warmth of their language, and
the violence of their gesticulation, wculd
1c <d a stranger to suppose, that the mem
b*r engaged was not merely an orator;
hi w’ould imagine him to be prepared
and even anxious for combat.—Hence,
in the reports of their proceedings, tho'
we have not the opportunity of hearing
the tones of voice, or of witnessing the
displays of oratory, we read the vehe
mence of style, the threatening language
and we come to the same conclusion
W'dh the bystander, that these men are
prepared for violence of almost every
Kiud. But it is the effect of the nation
al character, and the genius of their go-*
verninent—it is the struggle of parties
—ministerialists and the opposition—
for power and place, and appears more
formidable in the legislative hall, and
, 9 •
on the rostrum, than in any other situ
tion.
France has experienced too deeply
the evils of revolution, lightly and wil
lingly to encounter them again. So
long as the present combination of pow
er exists on the continent of Europe, she
could never expect to succeed in an at
‘•einpt to overthrow the present order
etchings, or establish a new dynasty &, |
a different government. The northern
powers, who have twice entered the
t rench capital, would be very unvvel
t'ome visitors a third time. Should the
Holy League crumble to pieces, France
rcii^ht reasonably hope to regain tier for
mer vigour, and be able to act with her
dnner effect. As long as that lasts,
^ maintains its oversight of the in -
oi legitimacy, we do not expect
'O hear ot any formidable insurrection
'here against the Bourbon sovereignty.
A PEEP AT MEXICO.
VROMTHE KENTUCKY COMMENTATOR.
Lxfract nj a letter from a gentleman in
*>Ux*co9 to his brother in Frtnklin
bounty Kentucky, dated
CITY OF XEXlCO, JAN. 8, 1822.
* On the 2dth of November we arri
' ed at the great city of Mexico, distant
ro,n \ era Cruz, about three hundred
nu.e*. I'he main road leading from one
-uese cities to the other is the best I
** travelled, although the country
tiro which it passes is the most inoon
tainons lever beheld. Mexico i> sur
rounded by mountains, some of who h !
.ire covered with snow all the year
'hev afford a grand and splendid pi osl
from the city, where gardens a-e
oo-ered with flowers and other ve^cu
| bie productions at all seasons of the
■ year. 1 have ate ripe peaches in the
morning at the toot of a mountain, and
in the evening, after having passed the
mountain? have seen orchards in bloom.
This country produces all the fruits
of the West Indies, »s well as those of
North America, the apple comes to great
perfection; the water mellon may be had
every day in the year; potatoes, and in
fact every thing that man can wisli for,
may be produced here, though the in
habitants live wretchedly, the city is til
led with poor; you are attacked at eve
ry corner of the street by beggars—a
large number of whom are able to work,
but have been raised in indolence, and
can do nothing except ride or pack a
mule, which is their only mode of trans
portation.
I have been informed that at the time
Cortez conquered the city, it contained
i two hundred thousand inhabitants, and
! ai the commencement of the revolution
one hundred and seventy thousand; at
this tune the population is calculated at
one hundred and twenty thousand, two
thirds of which are Indians, the most ig
! norant, superstitious, and indolent I
, have ever seen - they have been priest
ridden, and king ridden, untii they are
neither tit for soldiers, sailors, or citi
zens. I have frequently visited the oid
palace of Montezuma, and have been in
the room which he tilled with gold to
purchase peace of the Spaniards. 1
have likewise seen the large stone that
Montezuma and his people worshipped
—this stone is made to resemble the
sun, and is about eight feet in diameter,
of solid stone, on which is carved the
figure of all the animals inhabiting the
country—it is now put in front of the
Cathedral as an ancient ornament. At
this time I inhabit a part of the Vice
Roy’s palace: it is a splendid building,
calculated to quarter twenty thousand
dragoons, the lower story is all stables
and granaries, the second, quarters for
the soldiers; the third, officers of the go
vernment,”
