TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.
5/1— There have been four remarkable at",
wrions: one which subverted the Grew Republic
of ROMS ; another, which placed CHARLCS H. oh
the Throne of this country, and destroyed the re.
mains of the Republic here; and the third, which
,et WILLIAM 111. upon the Throne, and excluded
JAMEs 11. and his posterity.
That which overthrew the Roman Repel* wait
produced by the treacherous defection of Lama*
ss3 OcTATIOS from the party of Cictao, and of
the Senate and people of Rome to the party of
AhroNv ; the lecond was effected by the desertion
of MONK, the weakness of the Long Parliament,
and their want of confidence with the people ;
sad before CMAILLts ventured to come to England,
the Noses of Lords and Commons, and the army,
had declared for him.

in the great R.erolution of 168 S,
.WILLIAM Cl/M-
-yr:ICM his enterprise with fifty-two men of war,
fifty frigates and fireships, four hundred transports,
four thousand horse, and ten thousand foot. And
yev finding little or tin support at Exeter, during
none (lays, lie deliberated in Council on returning to
llolland, which he probably would not have found
very practicable.
It is therefore clear, that WILLIAM made hit land-
ing with a force more than twenty times greater than
tl,t of NAPOLEON.

The American Revolution, though really swat
pd glorious, was not effected till after years of
Severe struggle. .

There is, therefore, no competition in history
between the recent Revolution in France and any
other. It•has been the most tranquil, free, and:fin
