The particle and charge correlations of the two-dimensional Coulomb gas are studied in the dielectric phase. A term-by-term analysis of the low-fugacity expansions suggests that the large-distance behaviors of the particle correlations are governed by multipolar interactions, similar to what happens in a system of permanent dipoles...
