The Crimes and excesses, inseparable
from great Commotions and popular Fer
mentations are undoubtedly greatly to be
lamented, and though they ma, call forth
the Sigh and Tear of Pit), they ought
not to be ascribed to the principle of the
Revolution, nor ought the, so be consider
ed as the necessary and unavoidable Con
sequences attendant upon all Revolutions.

We are no longer^ confider the
French as engaged in a national war,
merely under the guidance of their own
interest, and endeavouring to establish
their own jiappinefs alone, upon a solid
and permanent basis— No —They are
actuated by purer & more magnanimous
motives. Inflamed with indignation
atthe barbarous and cruel tyranny of
a few wicked and sanguinary despots,
called kings, over millions of their fel
low-creatures, they ha* sworn to ex
tirpate the former, and disseminate the
buffings of freedom among the latter.
Had they contented themselves with
accomplishing their own emancipation;
had they wrapped themselves up in
callous insensibility ; had they been
impelled by the narrow, illiberal and
pusillanimous principles of felfifhnefs ;
had they beheld with apathy and indif
ference, the wretchedness of other na
tions, they would not have been assail
ed on all sides by the mercenary hire
lings of enraged tyrants, who, terrified
at their own certain and approaching
ruin, and unwilling to give up their
usurpations, are exerting their utmost
efforts, to render abortive the feeds of
freedom and knowledge.— France is
exposing herfelf to the tempests of war;
foe is bleeding at every pore, in the
cause of humanity ; she is facrificing
her own happiness to that of other na

time that this torrent of ferocious vil
lainy, this crusade of bloody despots,
against the votaries and victims of lib

I have already obfervted that the
French revolution has been celebrated
throughout the union. Immense sums °
of money have been (pent in feftive
rejoicings for the successes of the French
revolution. Ido not intend, at pref
ent,to censure this manner of expressing
our joy and fatisfaaion by feftivity,
and prove how futile it lain the eye of
rationality, I (hall only observe, that, if
the money which has been expended in
this feftive manner, had been collected
into one mass, the sum would not have
been so small, as not to have been ve
ry sensibly felt, by our (offering bene*
faders. It is not too late —Let us en
