Like Augustus, they have their Lieutenants or Proconsuls all over the civilized world ; and they rely on them to put an end to the demands for freedom, which alone are what the Absolutists dread. Their confidence, on account of our Tory Ministers being in power, if it be well founded, only demonstrates that the latter have entered into their league agairuit the liberties of mankind,"
