"You will see by the contents of the papers,

at cannot be denied that the peace of Europe
is. at the present moment, IN state OF extreme
peril. The shock Of the French revolution per-

feel the tlembIings of the political ssrthquake,by
which the throne of the Bourbon dynasty has
been subverted Whether this fearful state of
things is to end in general war, or new and pa
cifc relations among the various people and gov
ernments of Europe, no political sagacty can yet
discover. Much will depend upon the good sense
or faulty of those Governments themselves; al

whose remoter consequences are known only to
that Supreme intelligence which governs the des-
TIMES of the universe, it must be the wish and
hope of every person of well -constiuted mind that
the progress of revolution may be arrested by
those timely reforms which the spirit Of the age
