France is divided at present into two parties,
clauhtlesS quite opposite to each other, the vietkus
and,the executioners. In the smallest town every
one who has any rink, education, or fortune,
every one who has preserved any sentiment of
probity or humanity, any idea of divine justice,
or the diffet•ence between good and evil, has been
oppressed, robbed, assassinated.

those fatal prejudices which direct all the opera;-
tions of the Ministry, and uhateetar precautions
they endeavour to use to. divide it, to change its

these precautions taken upon paper cannot, when

A feW months hence, and France abandoned to
'herself, less attended to by the Allies, who, be-
sides the belief that. there is no longer the !dame
reason for fear, will likewise entertain the belief
that they•have not flit:same interest in swing her,

Brionaporte were to escape from the „powerful
hands that bold hint, and appear all on a sudden

not find a single stropoi ter. It has been for a long
time decided in the great revolutionary conclave,
that it was impossible to _reap any advantage from
employing that enraged-madman, whom they had
entrusted with powers beyond his means. .
I reply thus before hand to the objeetion which

Here there re-'appears a crowd of those systematic

Noble Allies, would you grow weary of a !genero-

effort of human virtue ? Would you allow your-

confidence,,the impressions'w biclr they may choose
to give, would you become a second time, and
with the sante - fatality, the instruments of their
eternal treasons ? Those would deceive you who
would persuade you that the French people are
so degraded by their corruption, so obstinate in.
their errors, ;drat it 'would be impossible• to esta-
