THIS correspondence appears to me to
have established between your brother and
you a sort of consolidation and identity,
which makes you mutually responsible for
your opinions it proves that there not on

to the government, but a plot and real
intention to effect its overthrow of this /
ind an unanswerabe proof in the last pa
ragraPh o. this letter. where your brother,
seeing but too clearly that actions were
wanting to support his opinions, says. that
" he must have actions to establish his
hopes but if our friends discover too
much wea kness," (and this shews that they

that my brother does not speak OF France
in this paragraph. He is recalling to my

adding, - am r'red of your sentiments &

besides which, if the whole latter be read,
1t will prove much better than each sepa-
rate passage, that it relates principally to
the Situation of England, and to the rc-es-
Enlistment of its Independence, distinct
from its present connection with France.
w thout renouncins the infer ences which
may be drawn against you from this cor
respondence, did not you yourself, in the
month OF January last, write with enthusi-

among us--that OF the most ardent friend

Did not one of your friends, in letter
which he wrote to you last November, tes-

French people showed itself so disposed p
1t is possible; the English journals give an
incontestibe proof that this desire EXISTS in
one party, and | have friends OF all par

Did not you say, in the presence of many
persons, on frequent occasions. and did not
you write to your brother, sir F.. Wilson,
that the dethronement of che Bourbons was
inevitable ?--It is possible; but always on
