If he had, what is now of no confequence, given his name, I thould have been more convinced than I am at prefect, of his being, what he boldly ants, "capable of bearing arms,' and of having had his perfon moulded (a very military expreflion) by drill ferjeants I" and there would have been an apology for my corralling the wilful mifreprefenta tions of this ftrangely concife, and libelled 0 advo cate," who, after perufing, wonderful condefcen lion my Publication, was fo "completely dire!). pointed.' that he was fume time 4 before he could credit the evidence of his fenfes."

With the exception of her navy and armaments for di.lant climates, we mull own that Gres( Britain has long anfwered to the firft of there charafteriflics, and that France has exaftly correfponded with the left. The Ocean, and the faults of the old French Government, have hitherto prevented this natural teed front takipg place. Yet, it is certain, that for more thaa century pan, there has been no objet the caufe bf fo mock meditation in France, as the tub jugationof there Iflands ; nor will this hankering ever ceafe, fo long as we hold forth to her view the tempta • tion of our riches and power, or until by experience fire (hall have felt the bitternef. of failure ; to prepare for which, ought to be the never ending care of our Government :—But the (e preparations which are on ly called 'forth to meet the preffure of a keno of danger, are not adequate to the purpoTe of averting deigns which never Jeep, or offenfive force never en feebled, and which may be diffelved for the purpofe erbeiog inftantly called together for nor deftruftion ; as long as France crib as the now is, and we arc am ready in arms, we never Can etieem °Deceives as fare, for we never (unlefs we.acquire a genuine war like habit) can be ready fo; defence fo loon as we May be attacked; and let it 64 obfcrved, that, indepen. 'dent of the inefficacy of fudden preparations, unlefi time be allowed for perfecting them, the expence of them is enormous, and will often anfwer the views of the enemy in making us fubmit to it. From this it refults, that we hewer can refill the de mands of France, however unjust, without being forced to incur an enormous expence in guarding our very exiftence—that our enemy will Ise blind to this and not take advantage of it, can hardly be prefum ed, for as flte conftantly aims at our downfall, fire will reed nothing that can forward it—and in this, her favourite object, flue will efteem nothing as incon fiderable which may hurt us, or any facrifice diftref ling. when our annihilation is concerned. Let us not imagine that any people, however true to themfelves, fhall, in the moment of invalion, find the fame re fources which Caved France, during the period of her fevereft trial; no other combination of events could have given a people the fame energy, which thofe of the revolution gave to the French, and thole very eircumftances which with the ikon lighted teemed to forebode her downfall, were the real caufes of ber gretteft vigour. It is true that an army which is to depend for its gun powder on the humid putridity of death, and has Rill to fabricate its arms before wielding them, may teem to (tart to the combat on hopelefs ground. But France had a population of near thirty millions of inhabitants, who were, with little:eaception, unani mous in her defence, and mad with enthufialm. She poffeffed excellent fficers, the pupils of regular in. ftruftion ; herfrontier was covered with impregnable bulwarks, the reparations of nearly two centuries : the daily employed a hundred fcaffolds, which made the molt defperate military fervice courted as a fah retreat from the interior. The great events of the revolution bad elevated the character of the French and its horrors, by weaning them from their old ha bits of focial life, fitted them to embrace With avidity the hardihips and dangers of the camps. Added to there, the Government poffeffed a ireafory, into which the reitell part of the value of the territory of the nation could be poured, and which, without being liable to fail, took little from the people. Such ad vantages can, perhaps, never again be poffelred by one people. It mull, therefore, be evident that we (hall never poffets that real firmnefs and vigour which is requifite for our fairy, until we polfefs a fy Rem of fuch general military flrength, as may leave no room rrr Our enemy to calculate on our wealtnefs, or being taken unawares. I (hall conclude this letter, by Rat ing in what refpeds two different modes of armament are Co defective; as to hold forth nu hope of the !call utility or perfeftability. I mention theft two modes, becaufe it is probable they will both have approvers. The firfi is that of forming the mats of the people into corps, fomabing like the regular troops :—this will never anfwer, becaufc the time requifite to learn the fcience of manoeuvre, can never be (pared by the mars of the people, nor could they, even if taught, preferve it, by conflant practice, in bodies ; in the day of trial their exertir ns or temiffriefs would equally hurt the nucleus of our force—they would be firft laughed at by themfelves and their compa nions, and then configned to contempt. The other plan is that of arming them with pikes. This is far worfe than the former ; the bell troops that ever were could, if their fire arms were changed into pikes, do nothing againft the worlt with fire arms. Individually, in an open or inclufed country; a pikeman can do nu fervice. Colleftively, a bodnot pikemen can neither attack nor nand the attack of one of fuzileers, who could exterminate them with out coming near them. Indeed, it is the height of abfurdity to expel that novices armed with pikes, will perform that higheft feat of military heroifm, the dote charge aphid the bayonet. SI rsoaALLus. Lambe:. 9, stns.
