"The Ambassador, after stating the accuracy and correct mode by which the Police of Vienna was conducted, insisted that this offender must still be in Paris; otherwise the Emperor would not have commanded him to make such an application. "_Monsieur de Sartine_ smiled at the incredulity of the Imperial Minister, and made a reply to the following effect:-- "_Do me the honour, Sir, to inform the Emperor, your Master, that the person he looks for left Paris on the 10th day of the last month; and is now lodged in a back room looking into a garden in the third story of a house, number 93, in ---- street, in his own Capital of Vienna; where his Majesty will, by sending to the spot, be sure to find him._-- "It was literally as the French Minister of Police had stated.--The Emperor, to his astonishment, found the delinquent in the house and apartment described; but he was greatly mortified at this proof of the accuracy of the French Police; which, in this instance, in point of intelligence _even in Vienna_, was discovered to be so much superior to his own."-- The fact is, that the French System had arrived at the greatest degree of perfection; and though not necessary, nor even proper, to be copied as _a pattern_, might, nevertheless, furnish many useful hints, calculated to improve the Police of this Metropolis, consistent with the existing Laws; and even to extend and increase the Liberty of Subject without taking one privilege away; or interfering in the pursuits of any one class of individuals; except those employed in purposes of _mischief_, _fraud_, and _criminality_. The situation of this Country, (indeed of every country in Europe,) has changed materially since the dissolution of the ancient Government of France.--The horde of sharpers and villains, who heretofore resorted to Paris from every part of Europe, will now consider London as their general and most productive theatre of action; for two obvious reasons:--1st. Paris being exhausted of riches, its Nobility banished, and the principal part of the active property there annihilated, the former resources for the support of criminal and depraved characters no longer exist; while that Metropolis holds out no allurements similar to what were formerly experienced. 2dly. The ignorance of the English language (a circumstance which formerly afforded us some protection), will no longer be a bar to the resort of the continental sharpers to the Metropolis of this kingdom. At no period was it ever so generally understood by Foreigners; or the French language so universally spoken, by at least the younger part of the People of this Country.--
