But when we heard of the Despot's downfall, our exultation p assed all bounds, and, timid:4 the blaze of public rejoicings were our long-ba nished Pririces welcomed to our bosoms, as fathers who would dry our tears and heal our wounds. But unfor-. tnoately horrible E v stem with which the enemy had so long eieshed us, was productive. War contributions aod forced loans had filled his coffees, and theconscription . his armies. Our political fathers thought us too closely acquainted with ruin to repine at the continuance of our 'misery. They consented to resume their ancient au thority, but not to rastore our ancient prixileges. The French System was not only maintained, but carried into execution with encreased severity. Forced loans nod ronscripts were raised, and the latter not only quartet 4 .1 on the inhnbitants, but clothed and equipped at their expence. When the people complained, the government only answered, that the coffers of the state were empty, and must be filled ; and that the present circumstances of Europe reouired tha levy of an additional force. Such has been the result of so mach suffering', the crown of so many sanguine hopes. But yoe are hapoy, ye sons of France, so long the ter ror and the pity of Europe, the tools and the victims of oppression. The giant arm is broken which kept you so long immersed in guilt and splendid misery. Your dreams of universal empire are lied, and your vain struggles of er liberty have been succeeded by the enjoyment of ra tional freedom, granted by the condescension of a pater nal monarch.—" Yes, after a tremendous contest of twenty-four years, now amongst ourselves, and now with all the nations of Europe ; after experiencing the wildest rage of aoarchy, and the deepest curse of despotism, we thought ourselves, able to know and to enjoy rational freedom. Protitieg by the magnanimous protection of mir conquerors, and the example of your ancestors, framed and established a constihtion, embodying all the wise. rineiples of British liberty. We proffered the ta;k of guarding, this• pillar of our rights and orr I“ , pniness to the brother of our murdered King. Rerar.ad from his banishment, we placed him on the threee. :old have since beheld the work of our Legislative . - patriotism and wisdom, moulded' by his. hands into a )toyal t 4 rant destructive of all real liberty, and establishing to their fillicq extent, the principles of absolute authority. Disappointed in the quarter, where adversity should hare taught wisdom, !mil from whence we exooeted disinterest edness and public spirit, the unanimity of the land is de stroyed ; party, momentarily overawed, revives ; ►iisatfec tien recovers .its audacity, and the tumultuous agitation of men's minds threatens to renew those sceees of conten . tiori avid bloodshed that have formed so long and so dark tt page in our annals." Were we to ill terrogatethe inhabitants of other liberated countries, we should receive answers of a similar nat ere. that we haye done every of Europe, because we .ficient Sovereigns.
