a confirmed political despotism in the Nor

the opinion of our latter-1ay statesmen that
the reign of despot:sm and terror had passed
away from among the enlightened races OF

hencefurth, in virtue Of the general spread
of intelligence, and through the clearer un-
dsrstanaiug OF the relations between govern
