(Full Mall Gosats.) - A writer in the Temps draws a parallel be tween the stormy went in the French Assembly on the 9th Jan, and a similar occurrenos during thepalus day ofthe Convention. "Leculdunt," Bays he, "refrun from thinking of the 9th Thermidor, when the spithet of engine was also uttered by a representative of the people, by Robespierre. In spite of the passione aud daily violease of thut formidable Parliament, declamation was more frequent there than javective, and with the exception of the goin of the 31st of May, which was the death-war rant of the Girondins, the guillotino has had more Amorepps than Theraites. I therefors think I am not mistaken in asserting that Robespierre is the rat who in a deliberative Assembly uttered a word danally confined to the forest of Bundy, and other places of evil reputation. M. Ordinaire having thought t to bring forward this neglented precedent, ex- posed himself to the consure of M. Grévy AZEM, Robespierre was also ceneured, bat we know, what was mount by the censure ut that time, The famous Jacobin was then under the stroke of the fury of the Convention which he bud ter- rified fornoloog; the Plain already anw the dawn of freedom breaking, and was inclined to acide intumul: the voice of the tyrant its own basaness had helped to raise to grostuess.
