the kw which the.eountry had sustained in the death
of her Royal Highness the .Priucess.Charlotte. He glanced

of anarchy.

litics, and by dcrreeatiug all ay►teutatic opposition to the.
government. He thought • the measures which had been
adopted to fuppren% the tumults which had arisenin the coun-
try had teen mast effectual, and that the atiministratian
•with.gveutability, steered the vessel of the state itesittety
through a most dangerous storm. He mutilated at some length
the arguments of those who had • coat-ended, that the Allies.
had no Tight to interfere iu the internal affair* of France ,
but he would•say, that as the Allies • had twice conquered
France, they had a sight to dispoee of her as they thought lit.
Fur his part, he was a!' apittion that the best mode of treat-
thug her, would haveireen to divide her istaerevieer parts, anti
•create new dynasties upon the newly minted thrones. A•
things were..towever; he was decidedly arf opinion, that Loins

ie. e hail pursued, on the ground that their Lordships' repot t
and subset; ne nt information, hail showed that the state of the
