extract from the admirable pamphle, b,lOrs
quoted.
One who has had. an opportunity a
observing the workings Of French inaueuc.
elsewhere, cannot possibly mistake tn.
source from which the politics Of some ID
our W gazettes are drawn. Ths
most unwearled industry in Disseminating
falsehoods on the subjects of Great Brisaq
"a watchful a~lacrity 70 make even her mos;
innocent or laudable acts the subject of daI
NOR ;--a steady laborious vind!cauoD of ali
the measures OF France. and a system a
drnunciauon against tnose who pursue aa
opposite course, are the distinguishing tcs-
tures of the venal presses OF Europe, and
the symptoms by which those Of CUR own
country may BE- known. The distance a!
which VIZ are placed from the immediate
range of the power o! France, opens to bef
Ell lssaries here, a wide field for invention
and exsggeration. What is BY them wick
ediy fabricated, is innocentIy believed and
p~ropagated by the multitude OF well mean
ing persons, whoss antlpathles against En-
gland blind them, both to the a~rocIoG
character and to the hostile designs Of our
real and most o,midablc enemy. i%-I
pendrntIy OF other considerations cOSneet'
ed with our general welfare, | sincerely de-
precate the influence which the habit OF ap'
proving the measures Of France may h'':
over the moral and political character Oh
this country. Opinions says Mr.. Burh''
6 as they sometimes follow, SO they re-
quently guide and direct the affections,
cannot long love the principles to winch
we profess to be devoted, while we acGls,
tom ourselves to rejoice at the triumph "
such as are fundamentally opposite. i%
habit of contemplating with sa''slactlOa" W,
career of ~inordInats amol'lon aa
