lowed, ail. surprising event, the most importr at to
rratikitid in general, is, that it tended to wc;t!,ea the
indigration valtich every liberal iniod naturally feels
for despotism. It seemed to incline them to submit
to the au ful of methodised oppression,
rather than risk•such scenes of anarchy as were ex.
bibited in Fratice at ,the time alluded to. Y'et,-.k
ought to be reniernbered, that despotism, though less '
savage, is more hopeless than anarchy., which can.
not list long, for it contains within itself the active
demetits of its on '1 I kstruct;oll. If the social corn.
tract, or civil compact, of any country were to be
dissolved to-morrow, and nothing but the chaotic
parts of the Gutertinient be discernible, order

as well as that of the general lab, ic, may stand for
ages to the curse of mankind. l'hilosopliers may
now hope to see wholesome effects arise out of these
late mutual disappointments .on the Continent.
Every nation is not so impetuous as the French: .
more reflecting ones may peacefully obtain what an
immense carnage could not. The patriots of France
were hurried headlovg into excesses, from u ant of the
rational object being al ways presented to the people,
who were exasperated to vengeance from the (origin.
sults they had endured from a corrupt'Court and
overbearing Nobility. Thus that unhappy "people re.
sernblcd a lunatic, n ho has been deprived of his senses
by cruel usage, and escaping from coercion, makes
use of his liberty in attacking every body around
