Switzerland, which had disencumbered herself from the supremacy of Austria, had succumb- ed to the conquering genius of Gallic ambition. It is the misfortune of such political prophets as I have refered to, that they do not understand the applica- tion of the tenets or doctrines, which they extract from the chronicles of various ancient and modern communities. Our government is one of its owa species. It may truly be asserted, that nothing Vikff it in pohtics is known.
