It was from him that France firft knew that a worthy citizen and soldier were no incompatible terms; that all men are by nature free and equal, as to their rights. He would havetaught them, that a conftiuition formed by the uuanimous fufFrage of Free- Men, ought to be refpetfted and obeyed. Prevented in his career of glory by the arts of infiduous and abandoned factions, he yet merits the eulogy of every good man, whose hearts must be touched at the ignoble deftinj which now awaits Win. " I will not enquire whether the Combined Armies had a right,when he quitted his country, to treat him as a prisoner at war—perhaps they had; but surely the fate of that General nnift be Angularly hard, who, if before incapable of return ing to his native country, is now,' by the lare decree ag3in(t all jEmi grants, to be considered as of no Nation. He is then to undergo, unless timely relieved, perpetual imprisonment. There is no one (whatever may be their inclinati ons) 111 Fiance who can liberate him. To whom, then, can the pro vince of ranlbtning an Hero who has contributed to the deftruclion of defpotirm in France, devolve ? It is reserved for the English—to that manly and generous nation, who has lately evinced by its con duct that it is unswayed and unbi ased by narrow views ; that it for gets enmities ; that has illnftrated most strikingly to this and every succeeding age, that Ihe regards no longer the confined docftrines which till of late ifolared her frojn Euro peans ; that all mankind in distress are her brethren : — Perfetfi these laudable efforts of benevolence and philanthropy—Release La Fayette from his manacles.—America is too far diftanc to engage herfelf in Eu ropean broils; and from joo only be has any hopes.
