By the above etimate it appears, thac the gloridus
tampaign of 177, cost us more than the ever memora
ble vitlories gained in the year 1704, though we had
an army of fitty thousand men in the Low Counties
and in Germany ; fixteea thousand men serving in
Portugal; forty thousand seamen ; and that we tra
versed with our armies the kingdoms of Spain and
Portugal, great part of the Empire, Flandpcrs, and
pars of the domfinions of France, while we defended
our own coasts against ali attacks, and spread terror
through those of our enemies. The pay of our seamen
and soldiers was the fame at both periods. Add to
theis, we had 2 Pretender to the throne, Scotland was
difeniced and difaffe@ed, and a fourth partof the peo
ple even in England were zealously attached to the
Stuart family, '
There have beea killed from Sept. to Jaunary last, :
