" This mode of ressoning leads me also
to despair of the success of the Spanish

unless they can insuse into the Spaniards
ss another spirit, and call forth other Zhergies
than those which have been hitherto dis
? played. Could the contest be ptotracted
: tor any length ofticne, there would arise,
ss perhaps, some great leader to unite, organ- 4

ol'Rome, and the cit-il wars of ltnly, the
business of conquest was pursued with more
rapid success, than at any other period of
their history. There is a assay in the
Gmndeur et Decadenee, of ontesquieu in
reference to thil subject,which ] shall quote
as the best illustration of my opinions :
" it should be remarked. " says he, " that
during the eivil wars, which lssted for so
long a time, the soreign influence of Rome
was constantly on the increase. Under

but would not, according to my view of
the basis of her power, alter the destinies
of the continent. A civd war would em

as far as my cheer-vation, when at Paris,
enables me to judge, would not endure
long enough to aﬀord time for the sormation
of a general and eﬀtcacious league without.
