" The polio). of Europe is too enlightened to be warped
by these bypociite preachings of the English, and we cannot
doubt but that at the expiration of the live `ears fised for
the duration of the commerce of the coast of Africa, the
Powers, whose interest it is to avert from themselves the
British yoke, will shake it off and maintain.their commercial
independence.
" But, we being but simple individuals in the state, and
bound to respect its treaties, shall prescribe to ourselves as a
law, not to ie:o)n, but on the supposition of the cessation of
the treaty, at :h end of the term prescribed."
From all that %we have seen and learnt, we fear that the
French were unworthy of the clemency shown them by
the Allies. They have been raised from the dust in which
their pride and their strength lay prostrate, and the first
use they will make of the weapons restored to their hands
will be to stab their benefactors. May our anticipations
prove unfounded, and may their future conduct never
cause Europe to lament, in tears of blood, that when she
had it in her power, she disdained securipgher own peace
and independence, by the sacrifice of a vanquished na-
tion's political existence.
