SiR-• The cause of France, (a transient
interval during the reign of the laat of the
, Heurbons exdcpted,) has been the cautw
of universal monarchy since tlie days oi
Louis XIV. The intolerant bigotry df that
priest-ridden, and hen-pecked tyrant; the
beastly sensuality of hi* successor; the
overgrown privileges of the nobility and
clergy ; but above all, the unshaken con
stancy of William of Nassau, and extraor
dinary ability of a few great men, who from
time to time, have appeared in Protestant
Europe, as occasion called them forth ;
tided by the free and vigorous institutions
old enterprising genius of the Dutch and
English people, contributed for more than
a century tb counteract the tremendous
physical force of France, and preserve
the independence of Europe. There Is an
inherent power in Hie French nation which,
under the worst management of its affairs,
has always rendered it formidable to the
liberties of the world. A few years have
sufficed to recruit her strength after the
most disastrous wars. Such is the fertili
ty of the soil, the exuberance of the popu
lation, the genius of the people, whether
for policy or war ; in short, such the na
tural resources of the country that he who
directs them, at will, must always be con
sidered as the most dangerous enemy to
the other nations of the earth. It was re
served for his present Majesty of England,
who, like Charles 11. seems to have been
educated for a curse to his own people and
■a blessing to their enemies; whom God,
(for wise purposes we are compelled to be
lieve,) has permitted to harrass his unhap
py subjects, for more than half a century ;
it was reserved for “ this king of ehrede and
patchee, thia cut*pune of the empire !" to
break down every burner which wisdom
and genius could devise, 'and valour could
build ap against the universal despotism
of the natural enemy of his country —hot
tie humerti generic. How melancholy, how
humiliating the reflection, that perhaps
through the folly of a single driveller, Marl
borough and Frederick have fought, and
Wolfe has bled, and Chatham spoke in 1
vain!

Which P. has bestowed upon his essay, and
•Iso for the very sonorous agnomen which
P. has so kindly lent him. But a*«M. feels

nametake, than for any Greek, ancient or
modern, however polished, he will, with

homespun garb, and under hie own pro

brethren of modern antiquity, M. is sensi

they are unfit for hirq to make use of;

seem that although a king, fier se, is the
most noxious of all animals in political eco
logy, yet combine -him with an emperour
and you neutralise all his 111 qualities.—
This reminds me so forcibly of au anec
dote which came under my own knowledge
and which is not impertinent to the pre- |
sent subject, that I cannot resist the temp
tation of relating it. For a little while
then we will lay aside the dignity which
belongs to our subject and particularly to
him to whom it is addressed. A federalist,
in the presence of the writer of this essay,
was, not long ago, reproached by a demo
crat “ with the attachment of alt the old
lories to hit party." The federalist, to my
great surprise, (for I have no very high ’’
opinion of the candour of thete gentle
men,) frankly admitted that the greater
number of old tories did support federal
men and measures, butthat he mutt be al
lowed to claim the Imnufit of some excep
tions. Among ethers of this political genus
he instanced *' Mr. C. scouted of having
conducted the British into Philadelphia.
but, (he that as It mighti) fully convicted ‘ '
of old toryism, who had figured In the ranks
of republicanism and obtained preferment
under the great apostle of that faith, Mr.
J. Now, Sir, said he, with great tyefehn- *
lance, ** it is in proof that the objection of
your party is not to oM toryi’"'. pure and
anaophiseteated, but to old torytsdt com
bined with federalism, which, (in yout
opinion, 1 suppose,) gives activity to Ito
virus. Decompose the mixture and sepa
rate the federalism from the oM toryism,
and (us in the case of Mr. C.) thL last W
comrs in your judgement deprived at «ntv
of all acrimony." There was something
I ewfipose ih this retort, not calculated tn j!
proVoke a reply ; certainly It k,**howev£>,
it received none.
Washington, I have said, was a soldlejr
and a statesman—bred io camps and s<- ;
nates, in the great school of mankinds. ;
To the misfortune of his country he was
succeeded by two gentlemen of the bar, a
profession of which khas been justly to
rn ar ked, that It has a greater
whose aid our independence had been es
tablished. It was reserved for the sagaei
»y of Washington to discern through the
honest prejudices of that glorious revote
lion which has immortalised his name, in
spite of the animosities engendered during
a long and cruel civil war, that it could
never be the interest of the United States
to swell the power of France, even by de
stroying that of a jealous and powerful ma
ritime rival. But Washington was a eoZ
dier and a etateeman i hie policy was en
larged and liberal; it looked to futurity;
to great and permanent consequences;
it was not the paltry make-shift of the day.
In early life he had bmne arms to repel
