Par arnpuni fiarc F.xtraS of a letter Jr'eYn a political character resident abroad, to ktsfttend at Philadelphia. The French proverb fays that there are honed men, even in hell where I (liould indeed as loon think of looking for them, as anions; that class of mortals called Jacobins. I will not fay there is 110 such thing as an honed Jacobin, but I mud own it has never been my lot to meet with one, and have in dances ot the contrary multiplying upon me every day, Christian charity bids hope all things, but not to believe all things, and I lh think my property just as fafe in the hands of a Jacobin, as in those of a convitted thief. I know not whether you will think these fentiivrnts illiberal, but these are times, and this is a fubjeft that admit not of liberality. The utmod candor I can fliew to a Jacobin is not to ti ud him for then I believe of him that lie will not betray my truth" Dtiti.

Cu. Extract from Essays on Political Societynow printing by Mr. William Young. The American Congiefs, under their rxilting conflitution, affords a eonfpicuotis illuflration of general principles of moral policy. None of the ancient or modern leagues, none of the ancient or modern governments, in the Old World, exhibits so perfeft a national model for municipal legislation upon the eledtive fyflein.

French vanity, indeed, has eulogized their policy as the fublimefl monument of human reason. But the de- of the firll edition of government which they call a couftitution, were proved by its being overthrown alnioft as soon as it commenced operations It became obsolete in its infancy. The next projett, to which was given the name of constitution, was conceived under the ascendant of Rob.fpierre. This thing 1 even its parents, had not the confidence to exhibit to the French, for their opinion. The third French edition of government, called the constitution of year three, appeared to have more firinnefs of texture, and to more capable of duration.

Its exterior form, indeed, has been continued, while the brain and the heart, as far as had any, were anatomized by order of such as direttcd the armed force. Can the French Council of Ancients claim the honor of competing with khe American Seriate Is it equally formed far dignity, for Vifdom and (lability Shall the French Council of Five Hundred pretend to rival the American House of Representatives as a popular chamber of legislation The triennial elettion of the members of that Council, the interposal of an elefloral aitembly between them and the people, the annual rotation of one third of the members, the forced elettion of two thirds, these the bell expedients which theboafted French fk ll could devise for fecurihg popular liberty The French legislature, if their two Council merit the name since the Fruftidorian fuhjugation, is a duplicated revolutiensry ariftoiracy mutilated by pentarchal usurpation nominally regulated by forms, which, at the bidding of the pentarchs, vanilh before a decree of urgencyj Whether the framers of the American conllitution controlled by an happy necessity of political Atuation whether their profound acquaintance with the most theories of government determined the frame of the system or whether a manly force rf Blind, combined with fcientific skill, aided by much perlbnal experience, and influenced by a refpeftful attention to preconceived opinions, led tq a stem so origi. nal in its general ftrurture, so intervolved in its parts, so compadl-d by the aflociation of the whole whether and how far any or all of these catifes iperated to produce the American constitution, one thing is certain 1 lie citizei of the New World have abundant cause to felicitate themselves their political tlefliny. The American nation has now a municipal Icgiflature conllictited to provide for the common d-fence and general welfare."
