CONCILIATION.

•
UNDER this head appealed, in the year 1797, a
Pamphlet, breathing great moderation, and
.marked
by a respeaable portion of good sense.. The Au-
thor of this work has now his wish; ,he has seen
Peace•accemplished, and we trust, in the very spirit
of concitini;on which he endeavoured, in 1797, to
inculcate and enforce.
Speaking of the French -Qoverninent even at that,
time, he says :—" No longer, the dupes of in-
sidirius hyr;•-rites, or; the slaves of democratic
tyranny,' the French NatiOn is obedient to the voice
of reason. The very latest accounts from France
announce the indignant refusal of •the 'people to.,
swear everlasting hatred to ;Kings ; their softened
hearts recoil at the horrid blasphemy of invoking
the all_mercifut Parent of the Universe to attest and
' sanaion the eternal enmity of man to man !
May" this glorious effort to destroy so disgrace-
ful a monument of a system originating in tyranny,
cruelty, impiety, and folly, be the harbinger of an
universal spirit of Conciliation ! a spirit which may
• pervade 'the hearts and councils of all the cOntend-
ing Powers ; a spirit . which admonish them
that a continuance of War is incompatible with
their political existence ;" and,• as Mr, Burke says,
" that Peace is not best sought through the medium
of War, or hunted through, the labyrinth of endless
Negotiation ; -but is to be sought in the. spirit of
Peace, and laid
_in principles purely pacific."
‘_e It is this spirit alone which can establish be-
. tween England and France that sincere and .pertna..
-neat Peace which the present alarming situation of
both Countries equally requires.
Firmly connetled by this ''Bond of Peace,'
and founded on a reciprocity of interest, of mode..
ration, of forgiveness, and 91-amity, an alliance,
equally beneficial for England and France might,
, by the collediVe ,wisdom of those acknowledged
and eminent talents which many distinguished indi-
viduals in the Legislature of both Countries possess,
• be permanently established, which, would not only
• rescue them from 'impending destruction, ,but esta::
blish them in permanent prosperity., •
An,-allianee resting on the solid basis of justice
and humanity, .and e banishing War from the earth,'
would continually enlarge the circle of its ?dive
beneficence till it embrace the whole world of
man.'—,‘,' All. this .is in the hands of
,'Providence,
yet now, even now, I should confide In the . pre-
vailing virtue arid efficacious -operation -of lenity,
_thoughAvorking in darkness and in chaos."--Quo-
tation from Mr. Burke. '
. :Such sentiments are highly appropriate to the
present circumstances of this Country arid:France,
. and we think they may be rationallrindulged with-
•
out a reiaxatiorr-ort.'the part of the Executive Go..
vernment, of that proper vigilance which it be-
' comesit to exert at all times, ,both with reSpea to
- internal police and foreign transadiOns. • The great
majority of the People of the. British Empire, we
believe to be
.sound=to be firmly -bound to ' the
Constitution of their Country, affeCtionately
and loyally' attached to their King. Convinced of
this great and.satisfaaory truth, we, feel it a duty'
to inculcate that Conciliation becOming a spirit of
Peace, without laying aside that' hereditary jea-
lousy, which, we trust, Englishmen will ever feel
of the power and ambition of France.
