Summary (extracted citations)

P. i: 'The Revolution in France is an event of so unprecedented a nature in the annals of the world, and so immediately interesting to England, that it is impossible for the least inquisitive, not to wish to possess some general idea, drawn from an authentic source, of what is doing and intended to be done in the New Constitution now forming in that kingdom'.

Notes

Advertisement, probably by the editor. Claims that it is necessary to consult the actual documents produced by the National Assembly in order to get a correct picture of the political situation in France. Cites Burke as an example of a badly informed source about the French Revolution. Clearly intended apologetically.
