p ,t re of et- 'Oyat shalt no ionger heConflned to "PaPi., bdt that . 1 the " avowed enmity e' of . France to . this Cauntry shall be recorded in Blacd.--7-Be it. so i All that, part of Europe that dare pronounce an opinido,will judge whielti in this, as in the for Mer case, is the Aggressor_. The War tvhich we shall have- to wage will be . for .Existence, and . it will chiefly depend, under thelavour of Providence:upon our own unani. mity and exertions, whether the issue shall. be glo rious to us or nor. It is that -we may possess that unanimity and success, that we' court the Union, in the Executive Government, of those Talents and Principles which, during unparalleled Domestic Perils and ten years dreadful Warfare, preserved us at once from the horrors of Revolution, and raised tiur Resources and our Glory together,- to a pitch thelttafled in our Annals. In this wish, We be lieve, we are supported, not only by a great Majo. rity of the Nation, but by a great 'Majority like. wise of the present Ministers. The Uprightness of their intentions (the Majority of the present rvlini. sters we mean), the real love they bear their Coun try, the principles, which they have uniformly prac tised, and a similarity of mind and sentiment, iden. tify them with the Man to whom the- eyes of the Nation are at this moment anxiously turned. The measures of the present Ministry, as far as drat great Mans sentiments are publicly known, have received his warm and unqualified approbation and support. Re approved of the Peace which the Ministers made, • because he thought that Peace WAS nec e ssary to; and anxiously desired by, the Country, and because that, even with such a Government as existed in France, the experiment of Peace was worth the trial. That 'Peace was made, we rejoiced at the time, and we taw as sincerely rejoice. •Short as it has been, the Nation has had a breathing time, and we shall now enter upon the War, if*War we must have, upon ground which' the most inveterate and malignant Oppositionist will find , it impossible to misrepre sent or condemn. Unlike an Ex-War Minister, and his little band of Blood-hounds, we are not the Ad. vacates, for War, much less for Eternal War—bellum imique ad ifrtte.neeionem—but we are prepared to de, fend, to the last drop of our blood, the Rights and Independence of our Country. If we are thus then to fight for our alt, we surely may be allowed to ex. press a wish to be conduEled in the Field by those Leaders whom we love.—Let Mr. PITT, Mr. An. DINqTON, Lord lIAWSESBURY, Lord IVInviLLE, and a few others whom we. could name, dicta} the . Affairs. of the Natinn, and we shall think, not only our Safety ensured, but our Viftory certain. it will be seen from the F.xtraas which we have inFxrted from the American Papers, that there is a determination on the part of the UNI,TED STATRS, to assert their right to the Free Navigation of the Mississippi, with a spirit and a vigour which the ob. jea certainly calls for, and which can scarcely fail to involve them in hostilities with whatever Power may be now in possession 'of Lollifielga, unless they obtain a concession of the point in dispute.
