A HISTORY OF THE. FRENCH RENrOLUTION.
.I..osvort, 1830.

We have here a history of the first French re»
volution, commencing with its out-break in 1787,
and concluding with the year 1802, when Buono-
parte had obtained the Consulate for life. A work
of this nature is much wanted at the present time
when revolutions are so much in fashion, more par-
ticularly as we know of no authentic history which
details the reign, progress, and termination of one
of the most memorable events the world ever wit-
nessed. The present narrative is simply and natu-
rally written; the details respecting Mirabeau, an
extraordinary, though an tmprincipled Statesman,
whose whole life was one protracted fever, are cot..
rest, though brief ; and the anecdotes respecting
Lafayette, then in the full vigour of manhood, will
be perused with deep interest.

The alarmists have ahnovit persuaded persons
41 the villages near Lincoln that it is dangerous to retire
to rest, and the formidable Apparatus of watch and ward
is put into arrangement throughout every villitge in thy
neighbourhood. Tie consequence appears to be egtretnely
unfortunate, and: in dittridts of tha theist peamble cha;

" TO THEKINIPS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY

" The Humble and Loyal Address of the various itieleties of
Trades;' Manufactures, and Friewily Institutions of the City
of London and its Vicinity.
" May it please your Majesty,
We, your loyal and falthfUl subjects, members :of the
various Societies of ,Trades, Manufactures, and Friendly In.:
stitutiona, humbly approach your Royal presence, deeply:de-
ploring the cause which has led your ,Majesty to postpone
your intended visit to your true, and loyal citizens of
London, and, fearing that slit+ postponement originated il'om
misrepresentation, and might have caused your Most Gracious
Majesty to doubt heir fidelity, are extremely anxious to remove
from the Royal mind every such doubt, and humbly beg to as.
sure your Majesty that there are not more loyal and faithful sub.
jccts in the empire than the citizens of London, and particularly
the operative classes.
"And we humbly be to assure your Majesty, that, notwithstand-
ing they have long endured, and still labour under, the greatest
privations and distress, yet they have never deViated in their
loyalty and attachment to your'Majesty's Illuatrious House, and
are bold to declare they are loyal to a man and as children look
up with confident* to their father for protection, so do we look
up with confidence to your Most Gracious Majesty, who is the
father of his people; and we are sure that your Majesty will di-
rect inquiry to be made into the causes of the distress, in order
to an amelioration. • .
" And we humbly pray that your Majesty will not long delay
your most gracious visit to your good, loyal, and faithful citizens
of London, and give them the proud opportunity of testifying
their loyalty and attachment, and of evincing to your Majesty
and the whole world that you indeed live la the hearts of your
people.
"And now, may the God °four fathers bless your Majesty; and
may you and your illustrious Consort be long, very long spared
to reign over a truly loyal and free people,. And when the time
of separation shall come—which we pray may be far distant—
may :you and yours receive a crown immortal, that will never
fade away—a crown of glory in the realms of eternal bliss.
