As it must eventually tend to promote the happiness and glory of the King, and the freedom and felicity of the nation, we cannot but wish, as the first operations of the National Assembly of France have been marked with the same features—that the French Nation may be as happy in establishing a Constitution as their allies the United States of America have been, who now enjoy the complete operation of a system of government which has astonished Europe—drawn from its most celebrated Civilians the highest encomiums, and is calculated to promote not only the happiness, honor, and glory of the Union—but essentially to promote the Rights of Mankind.
