gratification of which, if it really exists,
must depend not on defeat, but on a fuccef

to a fruitief* search after ita motive. What
tver be the couji, the tJJrB must be deplo
red. It tend" to excite difldence and to
create disgust.
Previous to thi« extraordinary eveot, the
conduft of Austria had been uniform con
filleot, and, infome refpetb, magnanimous.
While furfalen by her continental allies, she
for some time, supported, aiane. the con
test with France ; and, during the prrrient
campaign her exertions, in every <piarter,
were such as to 'eave nu of me fin
cirily of htr pidftffiooa. She had every
rea£o:i to b< fatisfted with the conduit of
"her Rufßan Allies, to the invincible cou
rage and maichlijfs (kill of wtiofe commander
fee was indebted for the recovery of Ita y.
Theuiaddea change in her system, ,then, ap
pears the more extraordinary ; while the
treatment, which the Ruffians have received)
at her hands, in return tor their forvices,
c onviis4s her of the basest ingratitude.
Thus we fee this formidable 1 power, with
materials; ia short, that their rigku (hall
be refpe&ed, their persons and property fe
cared from violence, and theirhappj nf nfsf s
consulted ; and, when they fee these pre
feffioni accompanied by rhe aflual repeal of
two or three mod oppressive laws, will they
not be disposed to exult in thechange; will
they not be led to cempare their pre'fent,
with their late fituatiou, at the ©bjeds bv
which their fenfet are more immediately af
fedtcd, without looking farther back; and
will thcy\ not, by this natural Jcquiefccnce
in a ftate'of comparative comfort, gradually
habituate t.hemfelves to the exiflence of the
prelet.t oriftr of things, until even the desire
of a farther ehange, from the exeniona ihat
will be neceflvry to accomp i(h it, fhal! be
extinguilhcd :In rcafoning IJpon thisfubjeft, 4
it is nccellary so take two things into con
frderation; firft, that there exifls not ia
France any thing like what is termed the
pubftcmind, every feeling of that kind hav
ing long since been destroyed; and secondly,
that Vv6 fhauld argde, not from a convifljon
of what men, placed jn such fltuation, ought
te d , but what, from knowledge of their
chaiadter and of their Dart conduct, it ap
pears probibla that fo litua ed
will do. If then our c Viclufion be right,
that the lalt revolution ftas not made any
. impreffinn ou the minds of the great, mass
of the people of France, favourable to the
restoration of royalty, it regains to be cor..
Gdered, whether it gives any advantage to
the a&ive panifa»s of royalty which they
did not poflela under the dir §oriaf system ?
Th: reverse of this, propofitioj. appears to
us naturally to flow from the bset obff ra
tions whi. h we have already luggeftcd on the
fufcjeit. It will Bot.be denied, that the
profpefl of iuccefs enjoyed by an j party in |
apportion to th.i txijting g fVttßnlt-1 must »
be in proportion to. the notiacqui.fence of®
the great.body of the people,- am} to the
weakheu of the govt 1 nine"' itijlf.
On the former of these tvfo'gr linds of
encouragement, if our reafwii'j; be just,
little hopes Can be reposed ; and the latter
seems to.us to he (till more tidpeltfs. The
reduction of five dirrftor&to three Confultj
and the fubllitution of mere pailive iranfi.
Tory committees, which a breath may arwii.
hilate, for aftive permanent legtflatfve bo.
dies, which nothing Ihorr of a reralmioß
could deflroy, together with the mode by
whieh this change was effe&ed, hare given
to the new government that powerful meins
ps flrcngth which ever results from a concen
tration of powers. All the intermediate
checks and confronts which weakened the
■ authority, without- Corfe£ting the tyranuy
of the Dire&ory, have been temoved, and
the whole civil and m litary power of the
ft ate it now abfolutely'Veftej is two indivi
duals, who hjve rifqued too much in obtain
ing it, to negleft 'any of th means which
may cottdudfr "to its prefervanW Tfrife
nien have too miich figacity,' not to per
ceive the nfceeflity of refconcili'ng e*>ery "def
ci lotion of frenchmen to their governmrnf;
and if a fyftettl of partial lenity and mode
ration (hould prove inadcqddte to th'e'i't.
tainment of this end, We n&t be it
all l'uipriied, if they were Ultimately to ipt
call the whole body of emigrant*; and make
such regulations their ancient pr»»,
petty as the exiltiug *fci>Ci',ttiftances of tke
country would admit. The tffcrifiied limit*
of our publication aeceffarily prevent ul
from entering at large into all reflefltionj
which haYefuggefted themselves toour mindi
on this imtereflfug topic. Bot the general
result of our txarfiination is bh'cfly this :
that the neater the government ot France it
made to approach to monarchy in point «f
foitn and effect, the further will it be remtf
v«d from it in point ot fad. '
Here we have only confiderid the pro.
bable effefis of this revolution on the inter:
nal state of the country, .as -it refped s tht
re-eftablifhmeat of royalty. A* it tendi
materially to strengthen the hands of go
vernment, it will of course,' incr'eafe their,
meant of repressing any efforts which their
brother Jacobins may make to subvert their
authority.
The fame motives which will the
consuls to consult the fenle of the people
will, in all probability, urge therti to make
propolkions sos peace to some of thtf bellige
rent powers. But whether they will make
any serious attempt to obtain a peace, miiit
depend entirely on their own convi&ion of »*.
the continued nectffity of war for tbe exill
ence of the Yepublic ; and their sincerity
may fairly be deduced from the nature of
tUrir prepositions, whenever they may be
made. If they continue the war, the pof. j
ltffion of absolute poWi- will en&bld thstn tb*
pursue it with greater \ thai' tfity have
lately difplaytd.' But thi grand difficulty
which they will have to.erei-miter, both in
their military operations. »»>d in tJrfir comet

ways truly stated to be Uie fiumhling block-

true to themselves, is the rock on which the

is conceived, necefßtate exaftioas that must
