HOWEVER flender may be our claim to literary excellence on the present occafion, there are two points on which we can with fome confidence challenge the attention of the Public; and these are, diligence and impartiality. Diligence, because we are not confcious of having omitted a fingle fact of any importance which has oc-curred in any part of Europe; and, Impartiality, because, as we are unconnected with every faction, and have no finister bias whatever on our minds, our only study has been to afcertain the TRUTH. We have cenfured with equal freedom and with equal severity the atrocious acts of the Republican party in France; and the profligate combination of defpots formed expressly for the deftruction of Liberty in that country. From a very copious fund of original information, we have endeavoured to form an accurate statement of the transactions of the French and combined armies in the last campaign; and where we have differed from the generally received accounts, it has been upon the very beft authority. 1 The hiftory of the Indian War is complete, and is compiled from the official papers, and the most authentic narratives that have been submitted to the Public.
