strength arid foul of the league a
gainst France, do the French aim
their arts; their force and their re
sentment. Great Britain derives
her strength from commerce—to
destroy this, is now the objed of
France. The navy of France has
fu tiered so much at Toulon and
in the late action, that it will re
quire a considerable time, to build
and equip heavy Chips futficient to
cope with the British fleet t not to
mention, the want of experienced
officers and seamen on the part of
France. >
The French therefore have had
recourse io a mafleriy icheme of
injuring the Bridfh commerce by
fitting out an imrhenfe'number of
large frigates, moflly of 44 guns.
’ These fliipscarry heavy metal and
fail faf^—They will efeape all iar
ger ihips and capture every thing
below their own force, which will
comprehend all Imall frigates and
ocher small armed veflels, Jetters
of marque* and merchantmen.—
With these heavy, frigates the
Trench-ire ndw’ covering the o
cean. To risk nothing themselves,
they have flopped all trade of their
Own ; and turned all their marine
into the most suitable (hips for an
noying the trade of their ene*

haVe Orders to burn and defl toy
^very prize they take, which they
are not certain of lending Case into
port. This orderjs designed to pre
vent the potfibili ty of (heir prizes
being retaken. Thus they are sure
of drftroving the commerce of
*their foes one way or the other.—
If they are near port, Or want any
part of the cargoes of the prize
veflels, they save them, if not, they
x destroy them; Never was the
