Even tha present aspect cf onr atlairs would per m i t an overture to be made to rraece,without indicating abject submission, or being derogatory to the Lonoer of the nation. If, unhappily, pow is unattlina, hie, we must prepare to meet the exigency of the State in a way adequate_ to the crisis. Whilst dig., nity and firmness mark our steps, eonciliation,4l4 , a due regard to the rights of others should never b r , forgot. The permanet security of 'British dominions, or of British interests, are objects of little impart in the sight of the Danish noble, the Swiss or Ge rmut 1 peasants, or the independent chieftain of Servta, Let us be wise in time, noa plume ourselves too high outhe faith thal all Europe has our Ideas and ; feelings. Notwithstanding whet we may think, the world has a right to judge, and will judge us by the same standard that we judge the conduct of others. The present system must be abandoned ; if perse. vered in, it will render the English Government as obnoxious abroad, as it will be felt oppressive at home..
