whole earth and globe, land and water,
is to be turned into orie grea ? republic,
under the ^government of Frenchmen.
Then for paradife, millenium, elifium,
the Ne^-Jerusalem, and all that's good.
Why such brilliant viaoriel are enough
co make evcn'a French atheist, or ,Ame
titan democrat, believe in the bible!!
Hold, hod; why all this ram. Stop
a moment. The French do, great
things, but so did Tamerlane, Genghis
Khan, Alexander, Cesar, Louis XIV.
Charles XL Mahomet, and a ihonfand
other conquerors. Nay the Goths and
Vandals did more than the French have
dope. Alaric and Genric killed more
people than the French have done; the,
(I ask their pardon) not half Go men, in
thefame time. And they differed trom
the French in one thing— the, did rot
butcher one another £ And is for Omar
with his hords of Saracens, he could
boast of the glory of sacking half a do
zen towns, where the French have one,
even in France, where they have vented
- TOoft of their spirit.
Impudence ! What compare the
French republican/to the tyrants of an
tiquity ; the despotic barbarians of
Tartary and Scythia I tii^
Pra, how do the ancient and modern
conquerors were despotic princes—The
modern conquerors ot Italy are def,otic
republic. This is the principal differ
ence. Tamerlane overrun half the
world—where thepoor vanquish ^d wret
ches submitted peaceably, he let them
live—where they resisted, be put them
to. deaih. Buonaparte has done the
fame—he p^ffes thr / Italy, and orders :
the people to deliver him what provi-:
flops land borfs he wants, and all their
money. If they wince a little and try
to get rid of this republican proof of fra-;
rernity, he ffioots them like bears—"l!
mot the municipality" fays the French
general in a letter to the directory ; and
if the garrison of Pavia had loft a man
by these infargents, I would have laid
that city in ashes, and erected a menu
^^^ A^W
or Weft—&tyriot of Russia or Algiers
—or the savage sachem of America,
that iver exercised so severe a tyranny,
as that of Buonaparte. ^^ <^
But hold=-not so faft. Buonaparte
has caufi for this; The French have
been abused. The combined tyrants
have waged a villanous war on them,
and put them to immense expense of
blo'd land treafafre. The French have
a right to be avenged on their fees, and
to fee'k indercnifitatioh. ts
Yes, yes: the French were right.l#^

their enemies.—But bow Rands the ac

These are the gentle words of French

Lord have mercy oh the poor TyroLfe
and Italians! The Goths aid Vandals

that opposed them I The English pirates

and mereliefs. Yes, the British troops
in the late war, did no more than burn

diversion; and now French republicans
treat theirconquered countries as bad
as the Bririfh treated the Americans!
Astonishing! French patriots, who have
not butchered more than halt a million
of (heir own countrymen, because they
would not be republicans, afe indeed to
