ever to be confidered as flagrant violations of juftice, and of the law of nations. No prince who requires any fuch interpofition, in his own behalf, and against his subjects, can ever be worthy of affiftance or fupport. In the present state of the world nothing can be more alarming, than combinations of powerful and military princes, to pre vent the inhabitants of different countries from afferting their rights, improving their forms of government, and advancing hu man liberty, and human happiness. Such iniquitous interpofitions may, however, poffibly be termed, Preferving the Balance of Europe. But all liberty may be banished from the face of the globe, if the great tyrants of the earth are fuffered to join together, to fupport each other in their different ufurpations, and in their various oppreffions of their fubjects. Such combinations carry in them a very high degree of moral turpitude, and ought to meet with the most vigorous and determined oppofition from all the fincere friends to the rights of mankind, and to the general interests of humanity.
