Soon after the rejecting the Bill for repealing the test-law, one of the richest manufacturers in England said in my hearing, "England, Sir, is not a country for a dissenter to live in,--we must go to France." These are truths, and it is doing justice to both parties to tell them.

It is chiefly the dissenters that have carried English manufactures to the height they are now at, and the same men have it in their power to carry them away; and though those manufactures would afterwards continue in those places, the foreign market will be lost.

There frequently appear in the London Gazette, extracts from certain acts to prevent machines and persons, as far as they can extend to persons, from going out of the country.

It appears from these that the ill effects of the test-laws and church-establishment begin to be much suspected; but the remedy of force can never supply the remedy of reason.

In the progress of less than a century, all the unrepresented part of England, of all denominations, which is at least an hundred times the most numerous, may begin to feel the necessity of a constitution, and then all those matters will come regularly before them.] [Footnote 8: When the English Minister, Mr.Pitt, mentions the French finances again in the English Parliament, it would be well that he noticed this as an example.] [Footnote 9: Mr.Burke, (and I must take the liberty of telling him that he is very unacquainted with French affairs), speaking upon this subject, says, "The first thing that struck me in calling the States-General, was a great departure from the ancient course";--and he soon after says, "From the moment I read the list, I saw distinctly, and very nearly as it has happened, all that was to follow."-- Mr.Burke certainly did not see an that was to follow.
