us. In this happy and enviable condition of ho.
man affairs, it has, however, pleased God, from
the mysterious and kriscratable ends of his Divine
Wisdom, to permit for a.tinte a great part of the
world to be suited and ravard by a Revolutionary
Storm,. which, arising in Noreign Lands, has at
last swept away before all, the barriers olconti,:

In melancholy state of passive and desponding
expeflation and endurance ,of whatever thraldom
and disgrace the malignant 'pest and scourge Of the
human race may have in store for them. in such a
state of despondency and snbmission, you will feel,
with me, this gallant high minded, aial powerful na.
tinn, cannot endure to stand : The biesc,ings, which
under God's providence, it enjoys, arc too many
and too valuable ; the resources it possesses, in
wealth and in arms, and in an aaive and undaunted
population, arc too extensive and effeaive, not to
afford at once both the motive and the means for the
most energetic and successful resistance to those,
whom no treaty can bind, no sinceiity and
liberality of. (=dun can conciliate, and whose
mad lust of domination and conyt:at na sense
of humans :suffering, or calamity, in their own
country or, in others, canstinalif v nr testrain: In this
Awful
,posture of affairs, I say, it is cast upon us by
Providence,.as a duty we owe to ourselves and to the
world, to become the means and the exampleby which
the world may be aroused and rescued from 'I he de.
graded state of terror and dismay into which it is
at present C3'il down and laid prostrate ; in; the hope
that the Princes of Europe may once mote be in.
duced to resume some active, and honourable mea.
sures of co-operation and union for' the attainment
of the general and permanent interests-of -rn.snkind ;
which means will be best .:ifforded, and example best
inayed,by a generous and prudent sacrifice of our
pre .ent ease, enrnfort, and indulgences, fur ahe at.
tainment of lasting and honourable security. What-
ever than in such a case is'expended, is.cheaply laid
out in the red unp,inti of all that reaming, It is a
prudent .salvage well paid ; an economical and
trusty devotion
.of a part to preserve the rest.-
Whatever life is lost in such a cause is a sacrifice ,to"
the best interests of our Country, our Religion, anti
our Laws; to the best interests of all future'beings
in our land ; and the most honourable consummation
at our own.
