According to the intelligence that arrived here yesterday
morning, you are at the eve of the great crisis: an option to
be made between the best of all governments & the worst. This
crisis is in my view of the matter a blessing. The government
which your predecessors have been preparing for you is no
better than a mixture of Aristocratical with Monarchical
tyranny. Aristocracy for its own security finds itself under the
necessity of allievating in some degree the yoke imposed by
Monarchy: but while this yoke is thus rendered in some degree
less galling, the hopelessness of any thing like a complete
liberation from it, is inmeasurably . In the confederacy
of the several branches of the Aristocratical interest of
which in my Codification Proposal you will see a list will
soon be under your eye, all clusteringaround the Monarchy
& united to it & to one another by one common bond of sinister
interest, the great body of the people have a confederacy of
enemies: enemies as irresistible as by the nature of man
they are rendered implacable, same enemies their rulers.
