ship of our rights? But if they should be supine, or
indifferent to our grievances, where then is our
appeal ? The question deserves consideration, avid
it is for your Royal Highness to reflect on the nature
of the resort to which injustice may drive a generous
and patient people. The wanton waste of public
revenue in France produced a revolution that Las
disturbed the moral order of the universe;—let the
servants of the Crown be careful, Sir, that the
tortions and oppressions—the rapacity of the fiscal
to keep pace with the profusion of expenditure, du
not produce a similar catastrophe in this count/5
and prolong the miseries of mankind.—We have iet
a co.: ntry worth living in, and a constitution worth
repairing—a farther prolongation of hostilities may
endanger t. le one, and annihilate the otlor. The
11 system that has conducted us.to this lamentable crisis,
and which dates from 171,0, must be abandoned, or
we shell soon, perhaps, have occasion to recipro-
cally deplore our infatuation, and to exclaim, in
the language of the poet—' Fuimus Troes—ilid
Ilirun !'

'V° add to the general ill-humour and well-founded
discontents which pervade the kingdom, the confi.
dential servants of your father have had the temerity
to identify themselves with their Sovereign, aneto
exact from our loyalty an implicit confidence in their
measures. An unbounded confidence in their wis-
dom is in fact expected, although it has not been de-
manded in form, as a proof of our attachment to the
throne. Reprove, Sir, the licetittousnem as well
as the impertinence, of such an expectation, by set-
ting an exampie of patriotism which they will do
well to imitate. Identify your cause with that of
the people ;—convince them you feel for their elide-
Cons, and shew yourself sensible of the value of cha•
racter, by asserting the respect due to your own.—
The occasion is auspicious to the recovery of your
Came;—to the preseryation of the constitution.—
YOur friends expect from your integrity that you
will justify Vie assurances :they have given of your
*top, and your honour is bound to redeem the
.oedge. The people; no 'longer abused by the mis-
,eikevout representations of your enemies, will be
hapW to see You assume the dignified character of
41eii Apparent, and to luilivispe,4s their fteure we-
vigil:. Accede to their loyal, to their affectionate
invitation—cease to live any, longer estranged from
your best, friends—from yourself, and from the
world. Prove yourself viiorilly of the diadem you
• are destined to wear, by displaying the good quali-
ties you are said to possess ; you will then become
the idol of your country, and—Save the Empire!"
