Expertlngni aliquando, et capeffite kappa&am. Sir—Some time fine I read in your paper an ad mirable Letter, under the fignature of Wat.sraoHAM. The efforts of that eloquent writer will, I truft, be continued. Such genuine public fpirit, coupled with fuch found judgment and fine talents, are calculated to render infinite fervice at a crifis, when every indi vidual is called upon, not only by his allegiance, but by every confideration of fellprefervation, to exert himfeif to the utmoft in whatever way he can be molt ufeful, to ferve his King, and to lave his Coun try. If I fhould appear to you to over rate the danger with which we are threatened, you are not to let me down as one of thole perfons commonly called Alarmifts. Were I fore that the people at large felt our fituation as they ought, my fears would vanifh : however lowering our profpeas, could I peurade myfelf that all was found wifdom in our CAncils, and that a becoming ardour pervaded the mats of my countrymen, the bell hopes would animate my breaft. As free men, we are unanimous in our abhorrence of an ufurper ; and the generous nature of Britons unites us one and all, in a common deteftation of the barbarous and bloody courfe which has marked the footfteps, and Rained the political career of the ene my of Europe and of mankind. But vainly than we look for a fuceefsful termination to the prefent ftruggle, unlefs our unanimity thews Mill in alive and unfleeping exertion—is animated by the pure fpirit which fired our anceftors in their refillance to oppreffion or invalion—unchilled by felfifh views, and unadulterated by party feeling. Alting under fuch impreffions, we might look forward with confidence, not only to fecurity, but to triumph ; and, under the bleffing of PROVIDESCI, to whofe favours we might ret our title on upright motives, we might defy the moil perfeveting efforts of multiplied and inveterate I enemies. But, Sir, is that at prefent suite the cafe ? Where do we find that enthufiaftic devotion to the caufe of our country, unpolluted by fome alloy ? Has it (hewn itfelf among( our fuperiors, to whom we are bound to look up, as they are to let 115 an example worthy of being followed ? Did it exhibit itfelf in a very (biking manner during the laft Seffion of Par liament ? While Bonaparte was looking (trait for. ward to his great objeft, namely our annihilation, and planning and preparing the means of its accom plithment ; deliberately meditating the vat fcheme of (tripping us of our foreign poffeffions, or, perhaps, of thundering at our gates, how were we principally employed ? The country fav , with flame, as Eu. rope mull have done with Armament, days, weeks, and months confumed by a high alfembly in all the management of attack and defence, in the expofure or proteeion of the guilt of an individual, enading and refcinding, voting and unvoting ; or in dragging from the tomb itfelf, in whit they had been 4o years interred, and reftoring to de and light the long buried claims of a Duke of Athol. Let me not be underftood to doubt the propriety of punifhing pub lic delinquency, or to (peak difrefpeetfully of thole, whofe decifions I am bound to refpeet, however I may lament and condemn their wane of time, and manner of proceeding. Nothing could be more fatal to the public welfare, than that Parliament lhould ever forfeit its claim to the eßinsation of the people, by s direliEtion of its dignity or coufitlency. The Englilh, Sit, are a difcriminating people, and form a pretty accurate judgment of the motives which guide pdhlic chateaus. They think for them. (elves ; and looking headily at conchal alone, are not to be blinded by the perverted reprefentations, and falfe colouring which the venal part of the prefs furnithes the means of employing to whatever party may hoop to make ufe of them. True patriotifin ss to them eafily diainguifbable from a lull of power, whatever garb it may affume, and however fplendid and impofing its exterior. They can difeover the difference between folid wifdom, and the ofientatious difplay of anfubßantial vigour. Such meaftwes will not appear to them ftrong, with what - ever parade they may be uthered in ; nor will a Government be inef ficient in their ellimation, becaufe declamation in one quarter, and calumny in another, are employed to affail it with the unfounded charge. However gfoffed over, they can fee through a felem of job• bing, felfiihnefb, and corruption, wherever they are to be inund ; and will not (offer real merit to be de preciated in their eves, however perievering may be the efforts of the ffanderous and the wicked to ob• ferve and opprefs it. • Merles profundo, puteltrior evenit ; * Lu&re—multa perontet integrum " Cum laude vidatern." This is a confolatific which the man of integrity, whether in or out of office, will derive no lefs from the generous nature, than the difcernment of his coun trymen; and which, next to the confcions fatisfac tion of his'own mind, will blunt the edge of calum nies, however foul and malignant. Of this let the upright Statefman and his oppofite be well convm ced, that no efforts of the mod corrupt peers can fup port the one, or truth the other. In adverting to the ;refs, I am brought back more immediately to the fuhjea with which I let out.— You, Sir, and your fellow-labourers in that refpee able line, are placed in moa refponfable fituations.— You owe very important duties to the Public. As you conduit yourfelves, efpecially in times like the prefent, you may do great fervice or great injury to your country, and may earn the molt exalted praife or the fevered reprobation—" Nullus addial jurare in verba magiari." If you think public men or meafures entitled to applaufe, give them your fup port ; if not, point out their errors and defeas.—lf danger threatens, and the country does not appear fufficiently fenfible of it, it is your duty to endeavour • to route ; where it may be over rated, to compote and affuage. Where exalted charafters are hourly run down, to maintain them will be the part of the honourable journalift ; and no lefs to tear off, with out violence, the covering of thofe whom party (pi th may have arrayed with a fpleodor to which they are not entitled. If to fupport the caufe of lour country be the firs of your duties, you, Sir, will not be difpofed to deny the next to be that (and clofely allied to it) of Rending forward the friend of integrity, difintereftednefs, and honour, and the enemy of intrigue, prodigality, and fation. To me it i 3 matter of ationiflirnent how the oppofite courfe, though it may fuit the feelings, can permanently an fwer the interelt of any Editor : one would think that " the crime would cart,' the puniffiment along with it." Happy would it be for the country, and its effects would be (non vifible, if the conditelors of daily publications, inftead of fubmitting to the unworthy talk, perhaps, impaled on them, of vilifying public charaaers, and deceiving the public by the molt lhamelefs falfehoods, wonld manfully Rand for ward as rivals in the fame honourable fervice of exciting and encouraging the national fpirit. The prefent mo ment is fufficiently pregnant with materials to admit of grave refleftions on the difficulties which furround us, and of animating topics to call forth a determi nation to face them with fortitude and perfeverancz. Let it not be vainly fuppofed, that we have not yet feverer facrifices to make, greater privations to fob mit to, than any we have yet been called upon to endure. In my view of the prefent sate Of things, as formed by recent occurrences, there is a danger now aOually approaching, of a defcription and map nitude, which hitherto we have not encountered.— What poffible conaration can be pot on the late naval expeditions of the enemy, but that they were demon. Orations to deceive our Government, and to occa lion large detachments to our foreign territories, with a view to profit of our diminifhed means of refin ance and defence, that a blow might he attempted here or in Ireland ? This deception has indeed partly failed, but was on the point of fucceeding : NaLsow might have been at the Brafils, CoLnarrowoon at Barbadoes, and Sir EYR, Coors, wish 8000 of our bell troops, at Jamaica. But though the feint has happily mifcarried, the great object of it may not be abandoned. The capture of two (hips, and impend ing hoailities on the Continent, will neither prevent or retard it : by the expectation indeed of the latter, which cannot be attempted this year, it would pro• bably be accelerated. The rapidity with which a formidable auxiliary navy has been produced, ought to create in us, if not alarm, at leaf} circumfpeaton as to the defigns of the enemy. Great gallantry can not always be a match for great fupetiotity : the impoffibility of militant blockade is demnnffrated : nay, accident might prefent oceafient, which neither exertion or forefight could command. Government itfelf feems to fanaion this expeaation by its recent order for a general infpeflion of our whole volunteer force, at this molt inconvenient feafon of the year. I trull, therefore, the frenzy for foreign expeditions will fubfide, at leaf} for the prefent, and that our military ftrength may be allowed to remain entire for home defence. Poflibly, Sir, fume of .he opinions which I have hazarded may not coincide with your own ; and that you may not he difpofed to encourage any fur ther communications from an unknow n Correfpon dent.
