hired writer (eet homme gages) not only knew on
the 3Oth OF May of the designs that PoLIGNAc at
tempted To execute the Goth of July but that thai
tyrant was instigdted to the attempt by PERSONS
in THIS COUNTRY! And instigoted too, not
merely by write not merely by des gems q cages
but by OTHERS who in all the secrets of The
affair The object of this writer was to prepare be
forehand notification for the measures of PoL1G-
MAC; to blind he people of England, and induce
them to keep silent when the act of tyranny should
have been committed in France But how are we
to believe that this hired writer feet ec,yai eages)
knew by mere selfnformation, that PoLIGNAc in,
the rights Of efectioa2 How are we to believe that
IN The month Of May. this knew that PoIrGNAc
would attempt to do precisely these things in tie
month Of July; unless we believe that this ecrirun n
cages had his information from SOME PERSON
| fNTHIS COUNTRY? PoLIGNAc would hardly
communicate his horrible designs to this low hirelipG
Nobody can believe that he did this; and therefore
we constrained to believe that the hirelinp was
in the month of May, informed by SOME ONE IN
LONDON of what was intended to be done in Paris
1t was attempted Just as is here recommended; the
ordinances imposed the Censorship, and abrogated
the Charter; but the scheme was .sBJJNGIED IN
THE EXECUTIONS" the courage and the virtue
OF the brave Parsians made it fail; and now come to
be considered the dangers which will arise to this
country from the ''BUNGLING OF THE Exc
CUTION."
8. This hired writer SAYS that we must 6 buckle on
our armour for another quarter of century of wars
From the moment that the of the revolution
reached u.s. put in motion all the little my
p0oer to prove to the French people that thew had
to apprehend open hostility from, England; and
this did not by vague assertion but by laying before
them facts, showing the state of oar debts, taxes
and'misery; by showing that if we had the Grim
inal aosh to embroil and enslave them, we had not
the ability to do it. IF the wish were entertained
land would fam hope that it not events have
proved the correctness of my opinions for it is now
DEM officially declared that we shall acknowledge the
'eto order Of things in France, and that we shall con-
slider the pretender to the throne merely as priucte
person!
g. What then becomes of this hreling's threat of
bucknng on our armour for another quarter of cen
tury! Instead OF this all is peace and Friendships
all is ual goodwill between the people of the Two
countries who literally rushing into each others
arms; and who, if left follow the dictates of their
own hearts and interests, may We in peace for CEN
fury. We may drink the wine from the vino cover
ed hills ofFrance, and the French may wear the wool
from our verdant downs. The ay7stocracy and the
high clergy keep, indeed sulky silence OH this
grand event. they nlanifestly view it with feelings
like those that gnawed the heart of Satan, when he
saw the happiness of our first parents No doubt at
all that the WHOLE of this body KNEW in the
month of May, that which then known to the
they anticipated PoLIGNAcs coup etat
with delight. No doubt all that they exuIted IN
the prospect of seeing aH4eai iberty 9e press and
all real right of representation ertngulsed for eoe
and therefore their suky silence is naura but not
more natural than the loudly-expressed Joy of the
people OF England; not natural than their gen.
erous sympathy with the people of France, and their
admiration OF the valour, wisdom, and promptitude,
by which they have indicated their rights.
10. The observations of this hired writer on the
motive for caring what the French do, are just
)ortyone gears otd when they first issued from the
brain of the pernicious BURKE, who then as this
writer does, talked about the sainging of fire
brands On this subject, and en- the other dangers
that this man anticipated from the sBUNGLINC'' of
PoLIGNAc, shall speak in my next Letter, conclu-
'.fingng Of ire-brands ID dangerous to those only
whose houses made of PAPER.
