Many of our newspapers are publishing Cobbett's incendiary and violent letters to the French people. Cobbett is a strong minded man, and a vigorous writer, but very unprincipled. He has written more perhaps than any other man in England, and on more subjects; but we question whether a more inconsistent writer could be found in the whole list of English authors. He of all men, ought not to cast the first stone at Talleyrand, that Proteus of French politics, against whom he is engaged. Cobbett's object seems to be, to set the English people by the ears, as well as to foment discord and disturbances in France. In both of these attempts he may, aided by circumstances, be partially successful; but in the end we hope may be defeated. In his letter to the French people, he echoes the cry of "Death to the Ministers," and urges them to follow up their successes already obtained over legitimacy and monarchy. He sells this production at the price of a penny, and intends to throw the firebrand wherever he can hurl it.
