Full Text

The disunion that has been so much talked of in France appears to have arisen wholly from the schemes and artifices of the royalists and retainers to despotism, actuated by the king and his family. Since the suspension of the monarch, and his confinement, the most authentic accounts represent the nation as UNITED against all its enemies. Should this really be the case, when the amazing strength of the nation is considered, it is evident it will be at their own option to adopt what form of government they see fit. The number of persons capable of bearing arms, in France, is six millions, seven hundred thousand, whereas the whole combined force that can be brought to act against them cannot exceed two hundred and fifty thousand.
