No one, who ha been in ihe habit of read
sir the' public paper, could have avoided
observing the different tone, which tome have
taken since she late correspondency between
the Secretary of State ind the British Minn
ter. In the Monitor this it particularly ob-
tenable t it hat heretofore too palpably sup
aorted the interest and disseminated the
principles of the , French government. .', In
$iany 'conspicuous essays which - have sp
eared tiv.that journal, without any violence
f construction, a. dispassionate reader would
have imagined, that the sole object of the
writer,, to which the " Morvitoc" . gave cur
rency and support, was gradually to prepare,
byadminirteringfyiliiicalalteraiivemedicincs,
the minds of the American people, toadmit of
French: supremacy, in reasoning, and eveniu
. ally to submit to French empire in fact. Next
so encouraging this French bias, the Monitor
teemed 'most assiduous in exciting ill-blood
gainst England. Both efforts plainly tend
ed to the same Doint. a hostility against G.
Britain, which woula throw us into the arm
f France, with whose dominh.ri.our thought
