Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ... The Queen mother, who foresaw that this unlimited ambition and this violent hatred must have fatal effects, desired that they should act with more moderation, management, and dexterity; but she dared not, in the beginning, oppose herself to the wills, nor traverse the designs of those whose influence was the principal support of her authority. "At this time, the Bourbons, excluded from all parts of the government, banished from court, and without hopes of carrying their complaints to the foot of the throne, beginning to reflect upon the situation of their affairs and the conduct of their enemies, who, not content with their present grandeur, labored by all sorts of means to perpetuate it, resolved to remain no longer inactive spectators of their own misfortunes, but to prevent the ruin that threatened them." To this purpose a convention was called, and we shall soon see what kind of convention it was. "Anthony, King of Navarre, after having left in Bear n his son, yet an infant, under the conduct of the Queen his wife, as in an asylum, at a distance from that conflagration which they saw ready to be lighted up in France, repaired to Vendome with the Prince of Conde, already returned from his embassy. The Admiral, d'Andelot and the Cardinal of Chatillon, his brothers; Charles, Comte de la Rochefoucauld, Francis, Vidame de Chartres, Anthony, Prince of Porcien, all relations or common friends, assembled also, with several other noblemen attached for many years to the Houses of Montmorenci and Bourbon.

Such is the fate of a nation which stands tottering on the brink of a precipice, with a debt of two hundred and fifty-six millions sterling on its shoulders; the interest of which, added:0: he peace establishment only, exceeds by above a million annually all their revenues, enormously and intolerably as they are already taxed. The only chance they have for salvation is to a reform, and in recovering the affection of America. The a't ministry were sensible of this, and acted accordingly. The present ministry are so far from being sensible of it, or caring -bout it, that they seem to me to be throwing the last dice for 'be destruction of their country. I have the honor to be, &c. John Adams. TO SECRETARY LIVINGSTON. Paris, 3 July, 1783. Sir, -- On the last ambassador's day, which was last Tues DEGREESay> Dr. Franklin, Mr. Jay, and myself waited on M. de Vergennes, who told us he thought he had agreed with the Duke ()f Manchester, but that his Grace had not yet received the posi'ive approbation of his Court. The Count advised us to make a v>sit all together to the ambassadors of the two Imperial Courts. Accordingly, yesterday morning, we went first to the Count de Mercy Argenteau, the ambassador of the Emperor of Germany and King of Hungary and Bohemia. His Excellency was not t home, so we left a card. We went next to the Prince Bariatinski, Minister Plenipotentia
