e this day a jubilee; may she destroy the race of kings, and may their broken sceptres and crowns, like the bones and teeth of the Mammoth, be the only evidences that such monsters ever infested the earth. 2d. The republic of France; may the shores of Great Britain soon hail the tricoloured standard, and the people rend the air with shouts of long live the republic. 3d. The republic of France; may her navy clear the ocean of pirates, that the common highway of nations may no longer, like the highways of Great Britain, be a receptacle for robbers. 4th. The republic of France; may all free nations learn of her to transfer their attachment from men to principles, and from individuals to the people. 5th. The republic of France; may her example in the abolition of titles and splendour be a lesson to all republics to destroy those leavens of corruption. 6th. The republic of Holland; may the flame of liberty which they have rekindled never be permitted to expire for want of vigilance and energy. 7th. The republic of Holland; may her two sisters, the republics of France and America, form with her an invincible triumvirate in the cause of liberty. 8th. The republic of Holland; may she again give birth to a Van Tromp and De Ruyter, who shall make the satellites of George tremble at their approach, and seek their safety in flight. 9th. The republic of Holland; may that fortitude which sustained her in the dire conflict with Philip II. and the success that crowned her struggles, be multiplied upon her, in the hour of her regeneration. 10th. The republic of Holland; may that government which they are about establishing have neither the balances of aristocracy, nor the checks of monarchy. 11th. The republic of America; may the sentiment that impelled her to resist a British tyrant's will, and the energy which rendered it effectual, prompt her to repel usurpation in whatever shape it may assail her. 12th. The republic of America; may the aristocracy of wealth founded upon the virtues, the toils, and the blood of her revolutionary armies soon vanish, and like the baseless fabric of a vision, leave not a wreck behind. 13th. The republic of America; may her government have public good for its object, and be purged of the dregs of sophisticated republicanism. 14th. The republic of America; may the alliance formed between her and France acquire vigour with age, and that man be branded as the enemy of liberty
