Effay on the Cau‘es which produced a 
Republican Form of Government im En- 
gland in 1649; the Means wanting to 
confolidate it, and the Circumftances that 
produced its Overthrow. By BouLay 
DE LA MEURTHE, a Reprefentative of 
the Pecple. Second Edition. 
Whether we confider the time that 
this pamphlet was publithed, or the per- 
fon by whom it is written, it mufi be 
allowed to be a curious production ; and 
it has not became lefs inrerefting in con- 
fcquence of the revolution fo recently - 
effected by Buonaparte. 
Were it not. for the name prefixed to 
the title-page, this would undoubtedly 
be confidered as the produétion of a royal- 
ift, who, under the affumed veil of can- 
dour, 1s zealous for the re-eftablifhment 
of monarchy. 
the republican form of government is the 
moft beautiful and excellent of ali others ; 
but -he contemplates it as an abftraét 
theory, a kind of vifion that can never 
be realifed, and confiders the words /- 
berty and boveley as very charming, but 
very dangerous expreffions. 
Boulay maintains, that no nation was . 
better calculated for a repubdiican regi- 
-men than the Englifh during the middie 
of the laft century, as no people has 
‘ever fo well underftood the theory of go- 
verpment, the balance and diftribution of 
powers, and every thing appertaining to 
the reprefentatve fyftem. In addition 
to this, the Eneglith republic was efta- 
blifhed ona firmer foundation than> the 
French, and rendered {till more formi- 
dabie in the eyes of other ftates. Now, 
in his opinion, the caufes that contribut- 
ed to the overthrow of the Englifh com- 
exit in) that of France, 
and that too ina greater degree. Thefe 
may be reduced to the fix following 
heads : 
rt. The divifions that took place in 
the patriouc party in England, between 
the prefbyterians and independents; and 
the fimilar conteft in France, between 
the conftirutionels and the jacobins. 
2d. The violence and injuitice of the 
independent. party insthe one country, 
which in the other have been carried to 
a far greater degree of atrocity by the 
jacobins ; and even the conftitutionels, we 
are told, were indebted for their fuccels 
to force and perfidy alone. 
3d. The influence and tyranny ‘of the 
military power, particulariy as exercrled 
by Cromwell; and from the epoch, when 
the revolutionary party difarmed the le--
