There is Rill an awful void between the prefeut and what is to be the lad chapter of that hiftory ; and I tear it is to be filled with abominations as frightful as thole which have already disgraced it, That nation is too high minded, has too much innate toi ce intelligence and eladlcity, to remain quiet under its pre lent compreffion.
