Scene 7. &fore the commencement of hoflilities, the boirle- Vona vanity of the Corfican betrayed him into the Impudent belief, that the mention alone of his my riads of befotted cut.throats would have the effete of intimidating us to fuch a degree, that our policy would have been confined exelofiv.ely to defenfive operations, and that entrenched within the limits of the metropolitan ifland, we lhould have felt ourfelres sufficiently fortunate in being able to refill the blows which he aimed againft the vitals of our empire.— " The whole Brit pope/a:ion," Lid he*, " will be obliged to put themfelves under arms for their &fence," as If the dread of an attack from French favages were greater in our minds than the value of liberty and independence, or the per Coital inconveniences atten dant on a military fyftem of fell defence were more to be deplored than a (late of national uncertainty, fufpicion, and unremitting vigilance. It is a moil extraordinary fact, that the office of refuting the falfhoodb, and of c x poling to derition the arragant pretentions of this upftart braggadocio, has been in a peculiar manner refereed to that country, which has become proverbial throughout the world. for its good fAitli and integrity. Confciou of onr ftrength and elevated charader, we have difdained to refort to thole pitiful expedients employed by low and wicked minds, to gain themfelves a charader in the eftimation of mankind. There is not a nation exiting upon the fate of :he earth, which can impute to as the fraudulent defign of impeding or. their cre dulity or their fears. We have boatled neither of our equity, wifdom, nor power; but when occafions bare called them into action, no people have ever dif played them with greater luftre and efficacy. There h no necromancy in truth. Our good name has been aiquired by great and good actions, and we ire too proud to be vain of it ; but like the man who knows his ftrengtb; and though unoftentatious, will not en dure provocations, we are ready, rot.en neceffary, to Make our power be feverely felt. In my former let ler i have proved that hiftory acknowledges the fad, Ind our own experience is an additional confirmation of it. Where is the nation whom we have oppreffed? What people will arraign us before the tribunal of tnairkind for having mide an unjnft tile of our power, touch more of having inftdted the honour of inc'et- Vender communities moth bluflering menaces of its elation ?—Our country has often been involved in foreign quarrels, but the has never been embroiled with a people *hole relative power bore no compa rifon with her own. She has never defcended from her high Ration even to frown on thole whom the might have crufhed in an inflant, with the weight of her power; on the contrary, it has been her un 'e slating policy, to infpire feeble States with principles . of patriotifm,.and to refcne them from the unfeeling grafp of tyranny. In (hurt, (he has never quitted the polltion, where the was originally planted by Nov aDE N CC, as the bulwark of freedom, juttice; and independence. But the charader and eondult of France prefknts a difgulling contraft with our forbearance and gene tofity. It is governed but by one routine of policy; :o perplex, intermeddle with, and ditturb the peace of neutral countries ; to deprefs and trample under foot every feeble country, in (rider to keep the mole powerful in a conflant !late of irritation, under the tinal hope of commanding the blood and refources of the Streak and defencelel's, to raife the power of France beyond competition or controul. Every particle of aggrandizement, of which the French have polrefred -I:asfelves, has been the fruit of copfeeutive ufurpa. Lions over powers of infinitely lets magnitude than their own. They have (educed, corrupted, betrayed, fold, and ravaged the greater part of the Cnntineot s oith more facility than a tnan eau travel from one .end of it to the other. By making every Ire& eon. ..it'll loran the means of (obverting its neat neigh. hour; and by making a bluffer of Arength, which they really did not polfds. they terrified the greater sowers; already too much efiranged from each other by their mutual jealouties, from forming a grand vonfederacy to repel their ambition; they advanced by Rep in their extravagant ptetenfions ; cut off ..!cceident countries in foccaon, and ruined them ..!etail, until at length the great& number of that :ight and beautiful conftellation of States, which Junks:tad the harmony 'and balance of European „ewer, and which had colt forty years of blood and to create, were utterly eatinguifned from the '-rmantent of nations.—Theft awful events have oc. copied only the Mort (pace of two yeais in the:B.

In the mid ft of there continued fcenes of humiliation and ci iminal degeneracy on the one part, and of irn periou. infulence, mockery, and menaces on the other, it is a ~ratifying confideration, that one (mall Hand of Europe has been permitted by PROVIDINCE, in mercy to mankind, not only to oppofe the plea of Univerfal Empire, to refill the gigantic (weep of Gallic ambition, but alto to difpute thole claims of the Corfican defpot, againft which their forefathers profufely flied their blood, rather•than permit them to be harboured in the breaft of a legitimate king, defcended from a long line of Royal anceftors. Great Britain viewed with equal (corn and jealoufy, the threats and boalts of the modern Bobadil, and in the full career of his fyflem of rapacity and fraud, put a flop to that Babel of crimes, which the torpid immo. bility of the reft of Europe had fuffered him to ere& No toner had the empty menace been iffued in the face of the world, that we were unable fingly to contend with the power of France, than our peo ple flew to arms, and the impudent afperfion was expoted to the Lifting lh ime of the public detraaor. In the fame manner, the daring falthood has been confuted, that we Mould doomed to wage a de ten:lve war on our own territories. The Confular Rufian vainly. at:ernpted to dupe the continent with the perfuation, that we were in a condition bordering on rage and defpondency. He trolled to his Fortune, that wejnould he found in the fame forlorn difquie nide ai the voluptuous and degenerate Romans in the days of Arcadius and Honorius, and that we fhould either purchafe an ignominous procraftination of our fate, or governed by timid counfels, recal our dillant legions from every quarter of the globe, to defend the feat of empire againft this threatened de luge of barbarians. But, thefe fenfelefs bravadoes were not fuffered to difcompofe the ferenity and fortitude of the nation ; and though calculated to give mankind an unfavour able opinion of our power, they made no imprefiion on the minds of thole who had been aceunomed to refied upon the immenfe refources, the compael po pulation, the inveterate Anti-Galilean prejudices, the determined valour, unanimity and patriotifm of our country. It is in vain that the fervile join-TIAN of France (rive, in their daily vehicles of falfhood and impoliure, to invalidate thefe evidences of liable powe; : St. Lucie carried by form, Tobago, Dem i ara and El equibo conquered by Britiffi prowefs, wi:hin the (port (pace of four months fince the decla. ration of war, and in open defiance of the brutal threats of extermination fulminated again( us, are unequivocal arguments of our confidence in our fe curity at home, and of the contemptuous opinion we entertain of the tyrant and his unprincipled hordes. Thofe, therefore, who have been duped by the vaunts of this Corfican blullerer, will now be undeceived, and will confider theft early tokens of (Orifice opera tions as inconteltible marks of the falflsood and du plicity of his nature; for we have not only retained the forces we kept up in our colonies during the peace, but we have alto (hewn that we can [pare with fafety a part of our whole population, to reinforce them for the purpofe of invading the fettlements of the enemy, renting his veterans, and gathering fie& laurels by their defeats. While there glorious events have been rapidly foe reeding each other, our hold the linguinary chieftain and his legions of robbers, in fuch a difgraceful itn prifonment, that they csnnot efcape with impunity from their own thirbours, our has he been able to here a tingle bsttsli.,n for the fuccour and proteltion of his own colonies, or the inealion of any of the Bri.

And thus does Estop behold at one time, the Cor6eatt aaually reduced to the condition in which he falfely rcprtfented Great Britain to have been placed. while the braves bis fury and maintains her immaculate reputation: No ranee fierce, bandit, or esounalootr, Will dart to roil bes virgin purity. This abandonment of the colonies. and total dif regard of the commercial intereas of France, are avowed eapitulatio;.s in our favour ; they are con fcCiona of impotence, impolicy and crimes ; and he mua poffifs an heart of iron, who can now come forward as the apologia of the French carafe. For nothing can be a more convincing proof of the little fo-efight with which the affairs of the republic are conduitled, than this cruel dereliflon of her newly re covered fettlements, on which the ardour of mercan tile peculation and the moll linguine hopes of France have been expended. Had the tyrant been as politic as be is crafty, and as (Irons as he is ofientatious, he would have firengtbened them to fuch a degree, as to have compelled us to have walled our time and for ces in attempting their reduftion, while this condition of fecurity would have kept our colonies in a con- Rant aate of perturbation, and infallibly have obli ged us to have diminilbed con6derably our regular force at home. in order to fbelter them from hoflile aggreffinn. But u he has difcarded the ancient Ilia togas of clipping the wings, for the gambling policy of preying on the vitals of our empire, we (hall foon have an opportunity of convincing him, that by afpiring at Inn much. he will catch only perdition.

However lath as this dcteimination may aupear i it is congenial with our feelings and propitious to our fortune. We are now releafed from the asix:etirs atteudarit on incertitude and didr.t.ltion, and we m ty airtime is as a principle, that the war will be w.tgJ by the tyrant ott this fide of the Atlantic. After the meafui ei of piecaution whili have been purfued, the force which has been colleeted, and with the noble entlinfiaral that almolt confun:es our brealls, at the wearifinne delay of the invaders, fa tiairerfally and earnaly expedeil, no virtues remain for us to fith:l, but to be obfervant of difeipline, and to be pa tient. But when the fignal for battle thall him been given, then Make all our trumpets fpeak, give them all breath, Thofe chinerous harbingers of blood And death, and let ercry man refleel, that the invader who eludes his blow, furvives to violate the honour of his family, and to murder a parent, a relative, or a friend. In whatever direction the temreft of war may flout. it is certain, that its molt deßrnetive elements are.col leeted to burg upon this Maul It is not improbable that Greece, Egypt, Iceland, and Britain, may be, at one and•the fame time, the blood-Rained theatres of contention. Rage, rapine, devallation, each cruel horror fitnelitied by names, will be,allowed the widefi latitude in which to range, and the tyrant, confcious of the impending diffolution of his empire, will, in his expiring agonies, rather leave to the world the hequelt of blood, confution, and darknefs, than rural peace, fair plenty, and '6 the facial joys of cities."
