have answered al your letters my good
friend; but some new and important events in-
duce me TO MORN you that VIC have seen them
without having been hurt by anv, and that altho'
wonderful. they arc not of those events which
have surprised me the least. Princes who have
had the misfortune of reascending the throne
by the arms OF the enemies OF the country, We're
bound to employ the greatest efforts TO wash
away that odious stain, and to REGAIN the aifec-
ton of the nation, by generous and liberal con-
duct they have not been so wise as 10 know
how 10 use their fortune on the contrary, tbey
have wounded the nation in all the most sensible
parts IN its political independence, and lis libeT
~. Instead of confessing that there was no Sc
curity for them, bur by espousing the institutions
and manners which bad been produced by tweu-
ty years OF revolution and sacrifices, they have
had the folly to expect, and they protested the
power of resisting the torrent of public opinion
and that they would opePat a counterrevolution
which nobody sought, which nobody WISHED
Those princes whom chance had brought back
when they were no more thought of, have had
the ridiculous weakness to commence their rule
with an act Of iIl-concealed duplcity, and to
strive TO assert that they did not hold their pow
Sr From the people, b,it from God and their an
cestors--tiIe result has been what ii ought to be
---in the moment of danger, France has opposed
to Glem tbs terrible force fits energy, and has
let them ial exactly with the same indifference
that they had let them rise; without making any
effort at either periods. In their insanity they
stu persistin the abominahle maxim, that their
force resides u the bayonets Of the enemies Of
our country-they arm all Europe against Us, and
you may well imagine that The modern Cartilage

bly, than sink into tie political degradation TO
which we were reduced four months since--
However, the crisis is terrible, and the exertion
of all our courage and patriotism is necessary to
