which she could not break but by general
war. Europe, both populations and gov
ernments, were all against as. we had hVc
great powers, compact and united together
By an anti-revolutionary interest, against
France. Switzerland was betrayed, Italy
sold, Germany hostile. France was obiI-
s ged TO conceal her revolutionary nature,
and 10 make herself as insignificant as pos
sible, for fear of agitating people, or dis

The nations that have been eniranchised; IN
a word, we were thirty-six millions OF men
isolated on the continent; no European mot
