tion 'points him out to you and
names him ; it it the-Cabim of
St. Jame's: it is the most cor
rupting and the most corrupted of
the Governments of Europe ; it
is the English Government.
It is not only against French
Liberty that this Government di
rects is coofpiracy ; i;i plot em
braces the whole World. Ahl
too long since, that p^fidioui Ca
binet trouble#, enfi so, deforces
every part of the World.—Speak,

merable Victim of the scourge of
combat, fay who has been the most
ardent instigator of this deftruaive
War, in which have been Verify
ed more than a million of men, >
in which immense treasures have
been (wallowed up, in which the
Eye of Peace itfelf now only per
ceives on the field of victory but
general mifeay, universal mourn
ing, one vast scene of despair !—
Well! it is io the glare of these
circumftancei that the Cabinet of
St. James's reveals to sfflaed Eu
rope that Britain alone has left
nothing of the horrible disasters.
Attend to this speech from the'
height of a Throne !-=" Our rev
enues," said the King, “ have con
tinued to augment, our national
ioduftry has taken a new fpriog,
our 66 commerce has patted its an
cient limits." If the King of
England has told the truth. Pow
ers of Europe, what a terrible left
son for you ! What, is then this
Government interested in yuur dis
sensions, which alone reaps the
fruit of them, which lives by your
calamities, profperi by your dis
tress, accumulates in its tresfores
the tears and the blood of Nations,
and grows fat on their fpoili?
It is clear that this Cabinet
must desire War, fioce War en
riches it. That Government, nev
ertheless, io its late Manifesto, and
in its speeches of parade, dares ac
cuse France of an in finable ava
rice ! It does not fay that the
English, firft Devastators of our
Island of St. Domingo, have dfo
taken wichouta blow the Dutch
Colonies, although the U. Prov
toces w^e then their Allies, and
that they pretend to retain their'
thefts, which /they will call con
goefts , and the King of England
Ipcaks to the Powers of Europe^
of the ambition of France!
But the principles of the French
towards off nations, are now'
manitefted ; vague allegations can
no fonger obscure them. If the
French republic fees the limiufc,
which the has received from na
