A French writer on finances, says, "the various miseries, created by the Revolution, have received as yet no alleviation. The towns are yet unable to maintain their police, hospitals, or work-houses for their poor, who can find no employment.

A tax which has been laid upon Salt is little better than a renewal of the Gabelle, once of the principal topics of all the abuse poured forth against the old system: till the roads are neither mended nor guarded,—nor are the streets either watched or lighted.

The tenant, deprived of the means of obtaining bread by the fatal unhingement of society, the natural offspring of the accursed Revolution, beholds his despair encreased by the execrations of a sterile pity, and by mock laws, which decree that men shall pay their debts, while the law-makers well know that there is no money in the soil of the Republic; because they have wrung it, by the iron hand of power, from the wretched people, to employ it to the destruction of mankind, and the depopulation of the earth.

All parts of the public service are about to fail; till the government jogs on its plundering, depredating courses—hunting over the wide-spread surface of the earth, for new seeds of enmity, hatred and discord:—as if our disastrous and fatal career had not already proved a sufficient curse to mankind, and not sufficiently, drawn down on our heads the execrations of the whole earth."
