ME FRENCH HEVOLUTION.

The following Estracts from lit nice on the
French Revolution age well deserving the notice of
oar Readers et this thee:—

P.SlB.—Natii.as are wading deeper and deeper
into an ocean of boundless debt. Public debts, which
at first were a security to Governments, by interest-
ing many in the public tranquillity, are likely Ist
their excess to become the means of their subversion.
If Governments provide for these debts by heavy in.
positions, they periih by becoming odious to lb.
People. If they do not provide for them. they will
be undone by the ?Mats of the moat clang f all
patties, I mean en extensive diacontented moneyed in.
Iciest hosed and Dot destroyed. The men who
compose this interest look for their security, in the
first In•lanee, to the fidelity of the Government ; la
the second, to its power. If they find the old Go-
versants effete, swoon out, and with their springs
retailed, so as not to ho of sufficient vigour for their
perytuses, they may seek new ones that shall be
possessed of more cavity ; and this energy will be
derived, not from an acquisition of resources, but
from a contempt of justice."
" P. 333.—At present their Treasury sinks every
day more and more is cash, and swells more and more
in fictitious representation. When so little within or
without is now foetid but paper, the representative

hog state in England is owing to that Bank paper,

dition of our commerce, to the solidity of our
credit, and to the total reclusion of all idea

They forget that in England not one shilling of paper
money, of any description, is received bet by choice;
that the whole bad its origin its cash actually dope-

stens, and without the smallest loss, into cash again.

debt of twenty shillings, a creditor May refits. all

amongst us a single public security, of any quality
or nature whatsoever, that is enforced by authority.
In fact, it might be shown that our paper wealth, in-
I stead of lessening the real coin, has a tendency t•
I increase it ; instead of being a substitute for moneys
