It is not to be hoped that any body in the nine- teenth century will be much enlightened as to the terrible cause of this national fright by being in- formed that it bore the name of French principles. That was its name, whatever its nature might have been ; and the administration, in their urgent anxi- ety for the public safety, thought of nothing, night, noon, or morning, but how they should keep it out of the country. There are some French articles such as fans, gloves, blonde, and the like ...which can be excluded without difficulty ; and should it ever be considered desirable to prevent their ad- mission into England, we know exactly how to do it, by setting them down in the tariff at a pro- hibitory duty. But it was not so easy to describe French principles in the tariff, or to get revenue officers to seize and confiscate them at the ports.
