SEPTEMBER, 3.
FRANCE--ENGLAND.

Let those who indulge themselves in ridicule of the French Assembly consider first,

That they have abolished the game laws that still disgrace Britain.

That they have abolished tithes that in every part of the southern kingdom, as well as in Ireland, grind the industrious yeomanry, and oppress agriculture.

That they have abolished all pensions, except those conferred for actual services rendered to the country-while we maintain a pension list for the purpose of political corruption,

That they have abolished all heriots, fines, recoveries, and other rights of superiority, which are still in this kingdom the subject of incessant hardship and litigation,

That they have declared every citizen, whatever may be his religious persuasion, eligible to every office of state, and to every honor in the gift of the crown-
while we continue the practice of disgraceful intolerance, and withhold from our most virtuous fellow citizens the free exercise of the natural rights of man in society.

Without referring to the grand revolution which they have accomplished,
who but a High Churchman and a Tory will assert that these things are frivolous?

Might not France say to England, "Go thou and do likewise."
