he has taken his fulling-mill into his own care, and
works in it himfelf, and shall endeavour to give

Lebanon, October 24, 1780. jwf
ons, ever misplaced, have equally operated to the
disgrace and ruin of the nation. The colonies may
boast, that their arms have at once given a free trade
to Ireland, and established their own independence :
And however the sage conductors of our affairs may
hope at a convient season to take back the former,
they never will be able to overthrow the latter. Par
tial triumphs have been a curse to us; and slashes of
success, like an ignis fatuus, lead us on to our ruin.
The Americans, driven to resistance by our oppres
sions, have furprized the world with what they have
dared, and what they have atchievcd: The found of
applause from foreign nations has reached them : Such
spirits are not easily quelled: They haveendured much
for independence ; they have possessed it a long time;
they are proud of it; by all this they are better pre
pared to defend it. Their armies, it is granted, have
sometimes been unfupplied and fared hard: What
has been the consequence ? Have they mutinied ? Have
they disbanded ? Have they gone over to the enemy?
Nothing like it. Their GENERAL, like Caesar, has
let the example of contentment, and his soldiers, like
thofc of the Roman, have only demonstrated an in
vincible attachment to their Leader and their Cause.
The fuccours they have asked, and readily received
from France, Ihew that the cause is common to them
both, and the interest mutual ; and this being the case,
such a kind of intercourse, instead of weakening, must
every day strengthen the bands of the alliance. But
France, it seems, with little or no additional expence,
witl) all her resources, and with all the abilities of her
great financier, must soon be bankrupt: Instead of
expecting this, I dread, from the immense difpropor
tioc of loans at which we support the war, our own
approaching deftruCtion. At the rate we go on,
France, without a tingle victory, must totally ruin us.
But what shall we fay of the wealth of Spain ? All the
world knows her revenues were never in better order,
and in these the Americans must find a sure support.
I smile to hear the noble Lord in the blue ribbon talk
of vanquishing them, from their want of supplies.
They have vait resources in themselves ; their fields
are covered with plenty ; their pastures abound with
flocks and herds; their landed interest, even during
the war, increases in value every day: Foreigners
know all this, and will be ready to lend them. We
ourselves furnifh them with vast supplies: What an
immense quantity of provisions and goods of all kinds
have their cruizers captured from the trade and pub
lic stores of this nation ? But their confederation we
are told, is not complete. It may not be formally,
but it is virtually: We have felt it. And should any
thing be wanting on this head, we ourselves shall cure
the defect. They may differ among themselves in un
essential points, while they think they are fafe from
our power, but press them with arms, and they will
be perfectly united : That partial success, the expec
tation of which pleafcs so much the noble Lord, will
only confirm their confederation, and call forth new
exertions. Their government is already eftablilhed,
and in most, if not all the colonies, appears as well
fettled as if the revolution had taken place a hundred
years ago. What madness then must it be in this na
tion to continue a war with such unsupportable bur
dens, with no profpedof final success, and only to
plunge ourselves into deeper deftruCtion!
