it conveys TO their minds ideas OF despo

Louis the XVIII. is very precarious; and|
from the prevailing temper Of the French
nation, there is some foundation for lhe o.

while France is fast recovering from D
wounds inflicted by foreign armies; al
from The fruitful qualities Of the soil, al
the industry and ingenuity OF her popuE

soon rise to an eminent degree Of nalOnl
if not of individual, prosperity. Ga'
doubts have teen thrown on the intenstn'
OF the French cabinet, as it regards Sp'In'

SPAN, at this moment, occupies 'e1
equiyocal position. The clergy ana 10
mobiles, the adberents OF absolute Powe

ignorance, are every where exciting y
Spaniards to counter revolution. inel
can be no doubt but that The other pt
ers OF Europe, including Great BrIa'i
would rejoice in the Accomplishment
