dently tothe French party, and the newf- 
paper.of Florence feems to be the chief 
fource of his information, which renders 
his impartiality very much fufpected, as 
it is known that the French legation had

agree with the author, that the energy 
which the dire€&tory difplayed already in 
the firit years, deferves admiration and 
a very fericus confideration, yet we cannot 
but confefs that we deem the publication 
of a conne€ed hiftory of thofe events, at 
the prefent time, a very difficult tafk. The 
author, who profeffes to have been.an ocu- 
lar witnefs of the formation of fome of 
the mof important events which he re- 
lates, and to have had an opportunity of 
informing himfelf, from the bef fources, 
of thofe incidents which did not happen 
under his eyes, protefts to have impartially 
inquired into the authenticity of his vouch- 
ers, and to have related them without ei- 
ther 4atred or prejudice, mu indeed have 
very fingular ideas of impartiality, hatred, 
“and prejudice, as he every where difplays 
the mcft decided predile€tion for the French 
republic, and relies implicitly upon the 
truth of the French official reports. We 
need but obferve, that he maintains Rev- 
BEL had aéied towards the Swifs and 
America with the moft impartial juftice, 
to convinceour readers of the truth of our 
affertion. Wemuft, however, dothe au- 
thor the iuftice to confefs, that he has ar- 
ranged his materials very well, and that 
his diétion is commendable.
