The French tyrants if they had no justification had at least
self preservation for an excuse . The Englishman , who I suppose
is not to be called a tyrant — the Englishman , then , and
his accomplices , in what subterfuge will they find so much
as the shadow of an excuse ?

The French nation , and the whole civilized world in
sympathy with it , cried shame upon the monster with five
heads ! What will it now say of the single head , that organized
this tenfold tyranny ? . —

Such is the crime a sample at least of the crimes —
of William Pitt . His successors , not daring to be innocent
where he is guilty , choose rather to be accomplices than
avengers , or so much as disapprovers of his misdeeds . And
this conspiracy of present power with ill-earned influence for
the distruction of law and justice — this audacity — the offspring
of pusillammity covers itself with the mask of respect and
gratitude . —

But would you then have had these living nuisances
turned loose again to prey upon the community — upon a
community from which they had so justly and so necessarily
been expelled ? — Corrupted , as you yourself alledge — corrupted
as they have been by the very discipline which should
have reformed them — would you have the Country receive
a second time all poison into her bosom ? — After all
this outcry about illegality , and perfidy and oppression - is
thenis then after all the real aim and practical conclusion
at the bottom of it ? —

My Lord
