287 gaols and honses of arrest, to execute their different ofSces of spies, informers, and judges, to make their domiciliary yisits, and carry into effect their murderous commissions of every kind in Paris, and all through the kingdom ; and that they should continue these outrages on the property* and lives of the people of France for so many days, weeks, and months together. This, indeed, can only, I think, he accounted for hy a further con- sideration, not ozily of the invasion of the allied ...powers, hut of the situation to which the minds of the leaders of the revolu- tionary party, and the people of France themselves, had heen at last reduced hy the principles and practices of the Eevolution; and, for the present, I must end as I hegan. See here, I must repeat, see here the result of all this violence and fury ; see what it is to hreak down the great landmarks of human duty ; see what it is for the leaders of parties to accomplish objects by any means, however unlawful, to accustom the people and them- selves to breaches of order and to violations of humanity and justice ; to create for themselves, and then submit to, one poli- tical necessity after another, till all the common workings of the feelings and the understanding are at an end.
