Bd u ll °N are represeeted as perfectly cool and col lected coder this revehlen of public opinion. Is thin' hkel)' to be true, 'when the voice and claims of these'veko assisted t o rescue them from the rod of the oppressor, has either been silenced - by military pre dotninanoe, or pot off with promises, futile as their artinpmeets to secure the tranquillity of Europe ? Was this not'to be expected from the absence of all moral gratitude? We complain of the violation of oaths on the pert of the French nation, and forget those monstrous actors in the scheme of crimival ad juratioe, that so mach contributed to wreck the ark of civil confidence —those who complain are, now justly the viotims of this impious traffic. Bet the people of this country are forewarned.— If five-and -twenty years of unmitigated suffering will not enlighten them,•one•of two things is certain —revolution or subjugatiou : each are equally to be dreaded and deplored. They have but one conduct, therefore, to pursue Bader these complicated diffi culties, and that is, to remain passive spectators of the sanguinary contest. Our best and most fluent resources are dried up. Conquest is out of the ques tion-,--aud even victory must be to England a barren triumph ; and if defeat should follow (for he mpst be a shallow Statesman who does not calculate upon the chance.), our fate is accelerated and the country ruin ed. It would be folly to disguise that France has re. ceived a new and powerful stimulus, possessing the elementary strength of the first principles of the Re. volution, bat organized and compressed into a more compact aad efficient form. It bu more weight and calibre; and though all the Continental Powers are combined to destroy it, its volcanic qualities miy explode in the midst of those scenes wbere its flames appear to he extinguished. Indeed, without , any great figure of speech, it may be said already to rumble beneath their feet. Who shall direct the course of its lava when it once again overflows ? Who restrain its fury and impetuosity ?—Will Austria, to whom NAPOLEON is allied, and whose insecure possession of Italy is rendered still more so by difference of habits, and the revolting sense of former injuries ?—ls she prepared for a fearful and protracted resistance ?—Will Russia, who already trembles for the safety of dismembe red Poland ? Will Press's, who seeks " to rule the wilderness of free minds" at the cannon's mouth ?" Sift,—lndifference to public affairs is always mi. minal in a free pen*, particularly at such as dwfol juncture as thepresent, when, blind to the pest', our Rulers are about to rush headlong into a new war.— It is not enough; Sir, that we are secure froin all its palpable horrors ; the sufferings of England are not to be estimated by its ordinary calamities, bat ac cording to the quantity of moral responsibility that is incurred, and the lavish expenditure of all those blessings, intended by the nature of our insular and local institutions to promote morenoble objects, bat which are wilfully dissipated upotrdesigns adverse to our personal freedom, and Inimical to the best prin ciples of public liberty. Sir, it is not natural, nor it never can be, to see'Eisgland, the seat of the arts and sciences and of liheval principles; 'leagued with Powers who have aniforivily ptoved themselves the enemies of the human race. From the beginning of this eventfol struggle be tween legitimate imbecility and legitimate talent, between the decrepitude of old forms and the strength and novelty of innovating enterprize, no event has occurred, so calculated to confound the speculations of pride, and the hopes of a sordid am bition, as the return of BONAPARTE to the Throne of France. The system, intended to revive and egtzrandize the exploded notions of kingly irresponsi. bility ; to extend dominion without rule, and to establish absolute power without popularequivalents, is about to be referred once more to the common sense and indignation of mankind. A new impulse is given to enquiry ; the fatuity d despotism exposed again to ridicule; and mankind, propelled as it were by a supernatural power, which it would be impiety to resist, to a more useful and sublime investigation of the moral and political phenomena whist' consti- Lttite the science of Government. Whatever may be the fate of NAPOLEON, there can be no doubt bat that his enterprise owes its rapid success to the proceedings of Congress. During the whole course of its •elaborate discussions, not one popular principle has been avowed, while all those sacred rights to which the fidelity and devotion of the people en 't ied them, have either been overlooked or violate 4" The wisdom that flows from experience has been turned out of doois 'and the endeavours of these artificers of human happiness only sedulously devoted to rebuild, upon the' dotage of former ages, a gigantic system of universal oppression that should restrain the excursive powers of the Wotan mind, and limit the march of its perfections. Vain and inso lent hope! One short hour—one little moment has dissolved the enchantment, and dispersed to the sight less winds the air-bat castles of these modern sor cerers. ' Whose, Sir, are indeed questions of feverish import, and; require other answers than a mere appeal to the power of the sword, and the ability of England to support a new contest. Laadoe, March 27. DRACQ. . . I know, Sir, I shall be told with a grave air and unblushing effrontery, that none but Jacobins could find fault with the mild and paternal- Government of Lours XVIII. Though its elements are nothing more than a compound of uegative qualities as to the best and most oulightened principles of public liberty, Poseessieg within itself the seeds of former intolerance and political imposture ; equally odious with that of BOLtnittl, or even mote so, because divested of the frankness, which gives such an appa rent magnaeirsity to the system of the latter.—if, Sir, So* sylleles are calculated for ages -ot-bappis. , ness--if such be the Constitutional charters of mo dern Statesmen, praised in this country, and to be acted upon in•others, the primitive simplicity of oar native institutions will hardly escape the cumbrous trappings with which it is too much the fashion to , load every thing British. . .1 There is evidently, Sir, amongst the Powers of Europe a design to root out, if possible, the doctrines of popular Election, and to substitute the Divine right of Kings, which the honest enthusiasm of Eng lish liberty has reckoned upon as long since extir pated ; and I will confess to you, Sir, that the libel lers of 66 gold chains and fur gowns," and the eu logists of Representative Government, as it is enjoyed and understood on the Continent, make me tremble for the liberty of Englishmen. Yon cannot be igno rant, Sir, that corruption and distress have already made rapid strides to weaken the ardour and attach ment of all classes of persons to the severe forms and penal severities that environ and sustain true liberty. Poverty and ambition are dangerous alter atives to an enfeebled Constitution ; and between want and cupidity, the strength of the virtuous few cannot be otherwise than overpowered by the weak ness and vices of the many; nor will the due admi nistration of justice long preserve the superiority of our laws and customs, when the unnatural influence of the Government pervades, regulates, and controuls the whole by its corrupt predominance. How then shall we stand against the imported auxiliaries of fo reign policy and foreign principles ? All that is in -1 digenous must ultimately give way to the combined 1 pressure of domestic treason and external dilapida tion ; and our blood and treasure expended upon designs too remote to be useful ; and for the support of principles, which it was once the bent of our in stitutions to combat and destroy. This, Sir, is the grave I dread to contemplate—a state of public feel ing that disarms the best, and furnishes the worst with mans for our destruction ; and we have no need of prophecy to predict, that if we engage in the new meads about to be again carried on against France, the fate of the English Commonwealth is sealed. • What other inference can be drawn from the prin ciples laid down and acted upon by the negotiators at Vienna, than that we have presumed to draw ? Where all are equally culpable, what good can by deduced ?. The safety that lies le extremes is not ep.; plicable either to the notions or interests of man. kind. Who will talk hereafter of roundiog a king. dom, and transferring a population of human souls, as a safe, beneficent, and necessary polity.? Will Lord CASTLEREAGH ? France bas shown, as far as the accounts may he relied upon, that you may transfer a Throne without insuring the affections of ' a People ; and that public sentiment is still the same awful and overwhelming force as it when it overturned centuries of bigoted deception and blind subordination; and we feel certain that the hearts of all Saxony and Poland vibrate at this moment io the sound of the tremendous explosion that has hurled Louis from his Throne, and unveiled the delusions of a Kingly oligarchy.
