Whilst the public ministers are received under the general law of the communication between nations, the correspondences between the factious clubs in France and ours will be, as they now are, kept up; but this pretended embassy will be a closer, more steady, and more effectual link between the partisans of the new system on both sides of the water.  I do not mean that these Anglo-Gallic clubs in London, Manchester, &c., are not dangerous in a high degree.  The appointment of festive anniversaries has ever in the sense of mankind been held the best method of keeping alive the spirit of any institution.  We have one settled in London; and at the last of them, that of the 14th of July, the strong discountenance of government, the unfavorable time of the year, and the then uncertainty of the disposition of foreign powers, did not hinder the meeting of at least nine hundred people, with good coats on their backs, who could afford to pay half a guinea a head to show their zeal for the new principles.  They were with great difficulty, and all possible address, hindered from inviting the French ambassador.  His real indisposition, besides the fear of offending any party, sent him out of town.  But when our court shall have recognized a government in France founded on the principles announced in Montmorin’s letter, how can the French ambassador be frowned upon for an attendance on those meetings wherein the establishment of the government he represents is celebrated?  An event happened a few days ago, which in many particulars was very ridiculous; yet, even from the ridicule and absurdity of the proceedings, it marks the more strongly the spirit of the French Assembly:  I mean the reception they have given to the Frith Street Alliance.  This, though the delirium of a low, drunken alehouse club, they have publicly announced as a formal alliance with the people of England, as such ordered it to be presented to their king, and to be published in every province in France.  This leads, more directly and with much greater force than any proceeding with a regular and rational appearance, to two very material considerations.  First, it shows that they are of opinion that the current opinions of the English have the greatest influence on the minds of the people in France, and indeed of all the people in Europe, since they catch with such astonishing eagerness at every the most trifling show of such opinions in their favor.  Next, and what appears to me to be full as important, it shows that they are willing publicly to countenance, and even to adopt, every factious conspiracy that can be formed in this nation, however low and base in itself, in order to excite in the most miserable wretches here an idea of their own sovereign importance, and to encourage them to look up to France, whenever they may be matured into something of more force, for assistance in the subversion of their domestic government.  This address of the alehouse club was actually proposed and accepted by the Assembly
