nent, and sit continually in Paris, and over
France, by Legislative Decree dated Wednesday the 25th. (Moniteur,
Seance du 25 Juillet 1792.)

Mark contrariwise how, in these very hours, dated the 25th, Brunswick
shakes himself 's'ebranle,' in Coblentz; and takes the road! Shakes
himself indeed; one spoken word becomes such a shaking. Successive,
simultaneous dirl of thirty thousand muskets shouldered; prance and
jingle of ten-thousand horsemen, fanfaronading Emigrants in the van;
drum, kettle-drum; noise of weeping, swearing; and the immeasurable
lumbering clank of baggage-waggons and camp-kettles that groan into
motion: all this is Brunswick shaking himself; not without all this does
the one man march, 'covering a space of forty miles.' Still less without
his Manifesto, dated, as we say, the 25th; a State-Paper worthy of
attention!

By this Document, it would seem great things are in store for France.
The universal French People shall now have permission to rally round
Brunswick and his Emigrant Seigneurs; tyranny of a Jacobin Faction shall
oppress them no more; but they shall return, and find favour with
their own good King; who, by Royal Declaration (three years ago) of the
Twenty-third of June, said that he would himself make them happy. As for
National Assembly, and other Bodies of Men invested with some temporary
shadow of authority, they are charged to maintain the King's Cities and
Strong Places intact, till Brunswick arrive to take delivery of them.
Indeed, quick submission may extenuate many things; but to this end
it must be quick. Any National Guard or other unmilitary person found
resisting in arms shall be 'treated as a traitor;' that is to say,
hanged with promptitude. For the rest, if Paris, before Brunswick gets
thither, offer any insult to the King: or, for example, suffer a faction
to carry the King away elsewhither; in that case Paris shall be blasted
asunder with cannon-shot and 'military execution.' Likewise all other
Cities, which may witness, and not resist to the uttermost, such
forced-march of his Majesty, shall be blasted asunder; and Paris and
every City of them, starting-place, course and goal of said sacrilegious
forced-march, shall, as rubbish and smoking ruin, lie there for a sign.
Such vengeance were indeed signal, 'an insigne vengeance:'--O Brunswick,
what words thou writest and blusterest! In this Paris, as in old
Nineveh, are so many score thousands that know not the right hand from
