In- the latter respea, our history, since ~the fatal Revolution in France, oilers less for observation than that of any other People : for while the greater Part have experienced changes either in the form of their Government, in the persons of their Rulert, in,their Political Connedions, or in the extent of their Territor l y,' our Public Fortune,' and our Constitution have remained uninjured, the same Men have, till . the present year, superintended the preservation, and have pursued, with very little variation, the: sane. Political System.with respell to our . FmiTigt), interests..: It is this , yearonly that a great change has taken.. place here, that in our Ad_ . ministration, a change which may, to a certain de. gree also, produce one in the direftion of our affairs, and consequently . .in our situation. This event, which -is by a singUlar coincidence cotemporary with the new. Century, qught not to be passed over either by the observer•of the present day or by the future Historian, and the one mast feel it a matter of curiosity, as . the other must find it a duty, to • take a retrospedive view of tho 2 times which have preceded this. epocA, l pptb p ill . ord:r to form a corre6.l judgment witli4§4oo), ,. hem, and . to bt'errabltdu : to appreciate . thon i a : vhich arc to follow. 'We sliriuld'r have before endeavoured to perform this interesting • task, had not the daily .sumssiOn of intelligence distracted our attention from it The French Revolution found England happy and rich, advancing rapidly is the road of Social Prosperity and,Political Wisdoas. For three years she alone had succeeded in . escaping the dangers of vicinity and the contagion of example. At the end of 1792 sinister plots threatened her, but the evil was perceived and opposed in its beginning ; Public Energy seconded the vigilance of Ministers, and . .ilnder the Banners of Loyalty was suddenly formed, A Military Association of all. thoie who had Pro. .perty to preserve, or the hopes of acquiring it a treat and sallitary idea to which our' Country has been indebted for not having been ,made the theatre of Civil War, and perhaps of Foreign Invasion. This happy impulse was most seasonably given to the public mind, forin the beginning of the fol. lowing .the aggression of France, becorrie a Republic, and . our•fidelity toward, our Allies tom_ pelted us' to enter into the Coalition which that POwer had.drawo down on its head. The acces sion .of our: strength and of our CouncilS was soon sensibly felt,' and the . .year 1793 was one continued succession oftriumphs. For a moment Europe en. L.rtained the hope that. she should be delivered frOna the scourge which had fr fouryears threatened her. The-eapture of ,four. Fortresses had opened a road for the Allied Armies.; nto Abe heart of France:— • • - , '111: Toulon had fallen into our. hands : Lyons hail raised the Standard, oftßoyalty, •whicli was waving ic t9rioutly• thrOng . htiti,iLiz,Vtqdle of the font. Departments which . composed the French Republic, thirty-two : were in complete, insUrreelion against an authority -hated, despisedov - eak; and in efficient.- The moment for overturning it seemed come ;.• but Fate had unhappily ordered it other Wise, and 'this great occasion Was lost. 'Thee consequences .•of this, were severely felt in the .following year-.. The Republic of Ro'b E., sr 'Balt "in the dreadful. is of its inter . and deli; ritten, overthrew all the barriers witilt had be9ii , opposed to it ; and while it overwheltried its inter-' nal Enemies in torrents of blood , With .one ( hand,. it .• droVe back with the other, its foreign enemies far. , from its frontiers. The monster tinder whom the • French trembled while they were defeated, pc , defied in the co . lor Of 'vietory by the dagger of his 4 • accolinpitees. if hey appeared for a moment inclined • to, abjure his' frenzy and his et:66es France breathed'. again for a 'tnoMent, aitir Europe began to entertiiiti boie's. It haS ,been since thought a sub ject} to regret, that that period was t • not chosen for making Peace; but • . the revolutionary principles were on the tine anti too powerful, and frau# k , • too..tuien crue danitgri and on the ather.h.l34 was conceive n that there were still s&ch Means for - Trance, . that the year l 95 , glided away in a sort of Military and un,. certaititiand hesitation.

Still I . . worse was the year 1797. .The Republican Stand - and - War tray cotertitilltAted by Viatry, .and a Treaty . of Peace, as disastrous in its effc . f.:s, as vici ' d'tis• • in its principle i destroyed the remins of• the o oalition, subjugated the Continsnt to the Despo tism .of the Direabrial Government, ard.left that 'Power-no other Enemy than this Country. England was, indeed, too_ powerful ic• hare any thing to apprehend in this contest, ant was go. verncd by Ministers too able to remainking with. out Allies. While the Continent, suldued`Or re_ volutionized, was blindly seeking th; thread, of Peace fn the labyrinth' of the Congresso' f Rastadt, we were gaining, in the South, a fora and a - moss signal Naval ViEtOry, and were in . the North, availing ourselves of the 'momentarily favouraide disposition of the EMPIROR of Russit;.- This triumph of our Arms, and this chef d'a4l:4l..aratit - Politics, ,were attended with as great !an eat!' could have been hoped frorn them ; and Zor`om again returned to the path of hontiufanill'of energy. A new field of battle was opened in 1799, in.which the French were conquered in every part : the mo. rnent for attacking - them - on their own Territory , again - returned : their ArMies . W - ere• weakeiied and discouraged i their Financial Resources exhausted ; . . . their Government . . inspired ;hem yith hatred contempt, and began even to despair of its tuation. This • brilliant -prospeft- was, Thoweter, • Suddenly obscured by some reverses. and some tiCal clouds, and this second opportunity of reducing 'EFrance by force of arms was thus lost." Prussia ribtindly refused to second ,the efforts of: the Allies. !iltussia repented having contributed towards them. Austria conceived the design, and, thought herself . sufficiently strong to be able to Maintain. it, of: reaping herself the whole fruit. Fortune. at - -this: junElure, brought one of her, foundlings from. the extremity ' of the Deserts of Egypt,. in,oidir. to overthrow the DireCiorial, Throne at PaS:k,- and to seat himself on the ruins of it. The:Freneh j - incon".. , stant and wearied out, rallied_ under his star, which never abandoned him. He had the addiesi to excite them to vigorous War, by appearing to labour to - obtain Peace . ; he promis r ed -them.the attainiribrit of that desirable . objeCt; by victory wassntctetaf4.l enough to persuade them to this ; and in the. fol. lowing year to - tie able to keep, , wura.. The: • Campaign of i 800, in which the Cabinet of rummer used its Generals'unhandsomely,• and in wl)toh..ther in' return used it still worse, after having been in. • . terruptdd by fatal Armistices, was' finally termi. !sated 1)y 'a Peace still more fatal. The Continent found itself 'more completely than ever t under the yoke or the influence of the Republic : Great Bri. tain; unshaken alike in po:icy and in power, again remained alone in the iire/ra against'her. England Lad not, howeVer, this' time the same means for maintaining i theContest with advantage, nor the same means of bringing back to it her for. mer Allies as in 1797.
