narchy of France, and the prefenedisposition of these despots to nego-tiation with this formidable repub-lic, it mull afford the highest: latif-factio-n

to the citizen ot the Uni-zt- d

Republicanism is triumphant inFrance, wlulll the monarchy of En-

gland is obliged to Hoop to theof Sans Culotte bravery

Britain originated the war, ro pre-vent the eilablifhmenc of limitedKionai chy, in fr ranee; but aftei e-- c-

liiiw obliged to negociate with thisrepublic, altho in the first ii.ftance,thvy mould not tolerate a limitedmonarchy. ca ika !
