Excerpt from The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine, or Monthly Political and Literary Censor, Vol. 28: From September to December, Inclusive, 1807; With an Appendix, Containing an Ample Review of Foreign Literature

Hough our readers mull have oolleéed oar featiments rel'peaing the aétual [late of Europe from our occafional obl'ervations in the review of political tracts, a confiderable time has elapl'ed linoe we took our periodical view of foreign and domeflic politics. Since we offered our lalt reflections on the fubjcéi, what changes have occurred, what vicil'btndes have been witnefl'edl The Continental power: have been brought, with more rapidity than even our fears anticipated, to that point of degradation which we, long linee, prediaed was inevitable, unlel'aa total and radical alteration of the fyflem on which thole powers, or, at lead, the greater portion of them, had uniformly acted, from the int commencement of holiilities againll republican France, thoold talte place. And the fanguinary Qorliean, whofe iron yoke is now impaled on all the wretched inhabitants offubjugated Europe, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, has, by a faithful adherence to the plans of the original regicides, finder. And Roberf terre, nearly attained the ob'eét of their elfortsrmthe ellahlilhment 0 French power over the who e Continent of Eur ope. While the European princes are thus reduced to that point of degradation which leaves to difgrace nothing to dread, the Corlican ufurper has reached that point of elevation which leaves to ambition but little to hope. Could the gholl of Brifl'otrevilit the earth, how would he rejoice to fee all his {chemes for letting (in: to the four corners Of Europe accompltlbed! Could the gholi of Camille Defmoulins, too, enjoy the lame o unity, how nould he be pleafed to hhd all the eflbrts of himfel and of his patron Roberfpierre, to diforganize Eu rope; perhaps to purge it of its tyrants. Rendered loccefsful by the arms and intrigues of one of his trolly aflmhtes, and faithful followers, Napoleone Buonnpartifl Call it jacolrni/m, or call it what you will, the fyflem adapted by the firlt rebels, w: o overthrew the Conllitution and murdered the King, has been comlantly and uniformly purfued by every {acceitive ufurper who has ferzed the reins of government, whe ther dillinguilhed as Member of the Commzttee of Public Safety, as Executive Director, as Firli Conful, or as Emperor, from Brillbt to the Corlican; they have been all actuated by the lame views, they have all profell'ed the fame inciples (in refpeét of forei n flates, at lean), and they have all pur ued the fame oéjeflr -the qverlion ofexiliing initi turions-the depolition of legitimate {overeigns - and the extenlion of French power. They have all had recourl'e to the fame mam, too, for attaining thofe objects -the wanton violation of treaties - unprovoked aggrelliont - incitements to rebellion - intri ne - bribery - oorr option and force. And they have all made the ame ufe of their victims; by dell'roying the independence act only of {overeigns but of nationk-by difpoflelling lawful princes of their dominions - and by placing low-born upllarts on their thrones. In a word, the mofl perfect con/men} of vice and villany has been obferved, during the whole progrefs of the French revolution; Hm} has been the coultant watchword of every party, and i yrmy their conllant aim. It is fettled, for the prefent, into that milia appsndii. Vol. Xxvrtr. Aii Hg'fiorical Stretch of the Political State of Europe.
