t ions of persons, were opposed to reform. - One of
these derived some benefit Front the present corrupt
state of thing; theother was afraid of reform in
Any 'shape. `The latter of these, indeed, 'had
pleaded that the season of warfare was uufir,for
projects of reform ; every thing was then unstable ;
but peace was arrived, and still peace was not the

as these, consisted of those who inflamed the minds
of the lower orders in the present crisis of, things
and such persons were,, in

this last description of characters were engaged
for the purpose of disturbing the public peace, in
order to countenance the measures soon adopted
against the teal friends of freedom. ' He regretted
to see the same stratagem, as it struck hint, re-
torted to now ; for, unless the cause of reform
was taken up by better hands than it recently fell
into, he most begin to despair of it. The cause
of Reform ought to be forwarded by men of rank,
and by men of property. by all men who hail
feeling in the State, in order to make a common
cause 4 it ft the people, and to stew the latter that

This diabolical Union between the monopolist's

In France, where the Government takes the
