LONDON.
FRANCE.
Every day's advice confirms the opinion we have constantly hazarded, in respect to the termination of the present struggle in France. The kingdom is no doubt ripe for the Revolution: but we question much whether the conduct of the patriotic leaders is the effectual mode to procure it. They appear to grasp at more than prudence requires, and, instead of conciliating, they daily increase the number of their enemies, who united, will prove an equal match to them. If the former mode of government was inimical to liberty, the one now adopted will prove more burdensome in time. The dissension on the proceedings of the National Assembly grow very alarming to those who support the present Revolution.
