INVASION.

Tor consequences. of a successful INVASION by
the French would be .so dreadful, that however
strongly we may be fortified by natural and moral
powers, it Is incumbent on us to " MAKE AS.
6URANC6 DOUBLE SURF," and employ every pos.
sible means to guard against the exterminating rage
of those monsters in the shape of men. For this
purpose we present to the public an Extraft 'from a
Note to. The Pursidt, of Literatuiy, a work pre.
eminent for learning, genius, and an ardent zeal in
defence of our bet interests, religious and politi-
cal. The Note was written in the year 1798, and
the events which have occurred since that period
have given new force to the enlightened opinions
and animated exhortations, of the Poet, whose
horrence of French principles, and attachment to
the English COnstittition;. ought to be impressed
upon the heart of every Taue BRITON
Such an union is now demanded of the minds,
the talents, and fortunes, of the souls and bodies,
of all the Inhabitants Of Great Britain, at never
before entered into the hearts of Englishmen to con-
ceive. We must be preserved from the tyranny
and power of France, from all her principles, and
from all her arms, open or concealed, mental, moral,
and political.. I have pride and satisfaction in see-
ing, and feeling that, we are all so convinced. We
knuW We'must die,, or defend ourselves from the
monstrous .Repubtic I if we consider it from the
commencement, it has threatened, devoted, and,
given over all its. vidims to desolation, wretched.
IIeSS, plunder, and final .death.. :Blood is the cement
of the Republic of France. •
" Same yktitos have bled forprinciplet others f°r
example, soma .for funeral pomp, and some for
civic feast : Blood must flow. Each faftion has
delivered over its, predecessors to death. The ;
Priests of Reason hold their tites in the .field of
Mars. First indeed, they soothe a while their sa.
vagenecs with song and festival ; but these are the
preludes hf sanguinary crueltY, the stops and pauses
Of their 'War- Symphoniel. With their laurel and r.
cypress branches bound together and dipped in
blood, they advance •to the, altar, and perform their I
abhorred Instralion. The manes of all that is brave; !,
and all that is ferocious, are invoked in their de.
mocratie incantations to. Reason and her Republic.
ol On the blood of their murdered Monarch they
have sworn .hatred, to tyranny and they 'have esta.
Whiled a Direeloryso. On 'the blood of innocence
and virginity they have sworn to restore and to
prated the female dignity ;' and they have annulled
'the bond 'of marriage, and the charities of eon..
sanguinity. On the blood of :their Generals,' surnam-
ing on the scaffold, and on the blood of armies,par-
tially devoted by other Generals. itl the day of
battle, they have sworn to •give honour and .en-
couragement to the defendets of the Republic. Such
. are their decrees sixth are their oaths .registered in
Blood. All is cootraditilion. inthem, yet all 'is in
adion. Principles
,of the moment, principles Of
reflation, principles of desolaiim, principles of
safety, all have had their hour; all-have risen and
fallen.' Banishment and deportatiun have now so-,
perceded the axe of the guillotino, anti the .ofl
ruffian massacre. How longe changes, with
them ; all, but the fixed lust of plunder, and- as...granditenaene, and. the rooted hatred tn. Christian
Religion,: and to the name, and 'Nation of Great
Britain To every Government, and to every
Establishment in Europe, they apply but oneaxiom,

## I am most serious in my words, and earnest in
