obtained any of the endsthey had in view, unless we except the
Tren h, who will certainly for Lome tiro., prevail over the Ame
ricans, 'though their success may be but of a partial and Iho.t
duration. The year teems big with the most important events,

jeded schemes intoexecution. Whatever detention may ap
pear among ourselves at 'home, this much is certain, that our
enemies are not united. In Holland, and in America, there is
a majority among the people averft to the war ; but the destruc
tive meafurcsare carried on by a few defining men, who have

tance at the e-pence of the publick at large.
