Excerpt from Observations on the Reflections of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke, on the Revolution in France: In a Letter to the Right Hon. The Earl of Stanhope Two parties are already formed in this country, who behold the French Revolution with a very oppofite temper To the one, it infpires the fentiment of cxultation and rapture, and to the other, indignation and foam. I {hall not take upon me to confidet' what are the fecret paliions which have given birth to thele laf't fentiments, and [hall content myfelf with obferving, that Mr. Burke has undertaken to be the oracle of this laft party. The abilities of this gentleman have been fully acknowledged by the impatience with which t e publick have waited for his obferva tions and when we co fider that he has been in a manner edu gated in the great fchool of Parliament, that he has aflil'ted in the publick councils of the' Englifh nation for the greater part of his life, we mul't fu'ppofe him fully competent to the talk he has un dertaken, of cenfuring the politicks of our neighbour kingdom, and entering into an exaéi definition of thofe native rights which equally attach themfelves to every defcription of men.
