plaMly perceive what is the nature and estent of those
blessings which are to be the fruit of this termination
of so many struggles, long sufferings and incetcnieble
' eapenca. Is it freedom from any of the, unjustifiable
oppressions and burthens that have so long pressed
spots mankind ? is it a general amelioration of Go.
iernments and the situation o. the people? Is it the
restoration of political r;glors to nations and indivi•
duals? And can the peace and prosperity of Europe
he the object or the effect ef• such compacts as the
Alliei) Powers have ma.le, a ith this (ICON eel inietititin;
and to cement their alliance arid their victories 2
Whoever looks ott these Conventions and the state of
Furor, will he able to answer these questions.—'
France has, hiked, been humiliated, the Pyre system,
esiti the Pm principles, which have imposed so many
' stii4eries on this country have indeed taiumplred; but
i small are the grounds w hick Europe, if she is not in
ilnie.with slavery and orpression, has for felicitation 1
over the 'extinguished libeoli. '5 and independence of
France. The confirmation of the principle of legi.
limey, that is the support of Kipp, whatever may '
be their conduct, and the maintenance of the Roue-
coxs on the Throne of France, is boldly acknow.
' hedged as the object of the Grand Alliance, as the
t real and glorious object to which all (heir efforts and
desires have been tending, whatever mar ho.ve
Ebeen the disguises under which this darling object has
hitherto been veiled ;'-this is the object for the main.
tenanee of n !rich the people of Great Britain are tt)
..,keep up a large standing army in a time of peace,
land these are the principles, the very reverse of those
1 incolcated by the British Constitution:, which the
Parliament of this country will shortly be called
upon to sanction. It is true that the Powers who
hate thus leagued for Or..preservation of the divine
right of Kings, and who, in the height of their arro.
, gance, tell the world that they *ill allow no notions of
popular right to militate against this, have
itaken the situation of the French people so far into
consideration as to advise their protege now on the
• Throne to be as kind to them as possible, well
knowing, no doubt, the nature of thalGovernment 1
which they have imposed. They recommend 46 a
I
mild and paternal Government," conciliation, and
so forth ; but we can already judge of the taloa 44:
this recommendation by its effects. 66 A wise and
paternal Governmeet proceeding in a proper manner
to tranquillise and conciliate the minds of the people, 1
and abstaining from every act, contrary to such a i
system," may certainly do much towards maintain. !

ing the public tranquillity, and also in re-establish-
ing universal union and confidence, whatever may
have been the conduct of the Allies to France;
but who cqn say 4hat the French have such
a Government ? Who can say that there is
any one act among those which .have dis-
tinguished the return of Louts X Vlll.,calcu-
hated to conciliate the minds of iiis tiubjecis, and
close the wounds which. he ought to be the first to
heal ?—We hear of nothing but new measures of
severity engendering by the Government, of pri.
sons already full of persons against whom no
crime can be proved, and the continual. and
appalling prospect of trials, scaffolds, and ven-
geance, and the murder of poor unoffending Pro-
testants
by bands of wretches wearing the cockade
of a Prince of the Royal Family. " The Dukeq'
of• WELLINGTON is entrusted with discretionary!
powers." Well ! and what then ? The Duke's
discretionary authority is only for stifling seditiots
and suppressing " every symptom of revolutionary
convulsion." The Allied Powers recommend conci-
liation to Lours and his Government—but how have
they themselves practised the conduct they recom-
mend ? Conciliation, it seems, is only a sirtue in
the Meek—the powerful despise it. But let us re- !
mind those who have now in theirfiands the destinies'
of mankind,. that power is of a very fleeting nature,
that Monarchies and States may be weakened, but a I
people cannot ; and time the eternal principles of jos- 1
(lee ate not to be obliterated by swordr and
bayonets. I
