Peace reigns on the earth! and this 
is the work of Frenchmen!’?—The 
desire of having the concurrence 
ef different country societies. to 
this Address, has occasioned a 
smonth’s delay in presenting it. Suc- 
cess unparalleled has now attended 
‘your arms. We congratulate you 
thereon; that success has removed 
our anxiety, but it has no other- 
wise influenced our sentiments in 
your behalf. Remember, French- 
men, that although this testimony 
of friendship only now reaches 
your assembly, it bears date the 
27th of September 1792.

The President's Answer. 
ENGLISHMEN, and fellow-ci- 
tizens of the world, The national 
convention has heard with lively 
sensibility the glorious and generous 
_wish of the English citizens, who 
cordially unite with us in our la- 
bours.’ The sentiments of 5,000 
Britons, devoted openly to the 
cause of mankind, exist, without 
doubt, in the hearts of all the free- 
men in England. Let them not 
still consider their neutrality asa 
reproach while they are spectators 
of the grand struggle for liberty 
against despotism ; their respect for 
a constitution which they have 
learnt to judge in silence, is no 
Tonger that antiquated superstition 
which promised to government im- 
punity for its faults; it is rather 
the effect of a prudent and poli- 
tical gravity, which knowing how 
to temper its force, seems to com- 
mand the government to observe 
APPENDIX TO 
that very neutrality, and to warn 
it to be as just, or at least as pru- 
dent, as the nation. Believe, ge- 
nerous Englishmen, that by follow- 
ing that system, you do not the less 
concur with us in the work of uni- 
versal liberty. Let us advance 
some steps further in that career 
in which you were our precursors ; 
and let us enjoy by anticipation, 
and with a common hope, that 
epoch (doubtless not far distant) 
when the interests of Europe and 
of mankind shall invite the two na- 
tions to stretch out the hand of 
fraternity !

RENCH Citizens! The Soci- 
4 ety instituted to perpetuate the 
remembrance of the revolution of 
Great Britain, offers you this ad- 
dress with the sincerest respect.— 
At the suggestion of one of our 
members, the late Dr. Price, whose 
loss we regret, we have already con- 
gratulated you on your first succes- 
ses in the commen cause of liber- 
ty; and we cannot be silent at a 
period so fruitful in events. Even 
if the enemies who invaded France 
still ravaged your towns, we would 
not keep back this address; in the 
hope that a nation which fights not 
for itself alone, but for the whole 
“human race, would, in the end, 
prove victorious. The tyrants who 
threatened you have retired with 
disgrace ; and the friends of liberty, 
in all countries, share the joy of 
your triumph.—Above all, we re- 
joice in the late revolution of the 
10th of August, so necessary to se~ 
cure
