THE NATIONAL REGISTER. nothing which we respect; they have burned their own habitations, efist you suppose it will cost them much to burn yours? Let ns recollect that the army of the Allies is onlran army in the pay of England; that the coalesced powers are only the blind in struments of a bonedless ambition and implacable hatred ;united France. What good intention—what favourable sentiment can we expect from the Cabinet of London ? Dnritig ten yeas we have been a prey to all the horrors of the revolution—to all the scourges of civil discord. Certainly if England hail wished to stifle toe monster Anarchy, how .oft'.ll might it have found the opportunity! I But far, far from wishing, to restore us to repose, it is our repose which she. dread; ; it is our power, our glory, our industry, our ' arts. which she wishes to annihilate. To reign alone - over the 'world, to render all nations tributary to h. q. merchants, is the only ehject of her ambition, the constant aim of all her efforts, of all her intrigues, of ;,11 her inconceivable profusion. She wishes, at any price, to deliver her-ell from a rivalry w!ich distresses her. What a rrintupb, %skit joy would it he to her, if she could ever flatter herself with able to effect the ruin of France, to deist.} her fleets to annihilate her commerce, to divide her provinces. The ruin of France %vont' be the cononon tutu of the %lurid. Subjugate France and the enslavicg of the universe is complkted. And can we ile:tver ourselves; to such reflections without shud dering? Will not every hand be armed to ward ottsuch a calamity ? Alt! let us not imitate thwe Athenians who, devoted entirely to • their pleasures and to indnlenee, %%ere solely occupied by the sports of the theatre ard some frivolous tales, when Plolip was at their gates, hot let us remember, that to preserve the laurels of Apollo, ve 'mist gather the palm of Mars. .
