COMMUNICAfaN.
Every dispassionate yeafoner must fey after read
. ing 'h^ Preliminaries of Peace that Great Britain
* Igained every point [he contended for in the
e%nencement of -the war with France. She
sou in t^r the independence of Holland, has she
ga>red it by peace ? fyitwer, NO.—She fought
for the refloration of Monarchy in France^ and
h is lie gained it 1 The answer will be, we have
f : del, and might have expected so to do.—She
fought to curb the ambition of France, and to
prevent her from obtaining a controlling influ
-e tied on the continent. Has she obtained it ? The
• aufwer is flill, NO, NO, NO. Well; what has die
•gained by the Peace, after all her conqneft ? An
ter, Ceylon, Trinidad, and Cape-fly-away, with
-about three hundred millions of pound sterling
debt to pay, to gratify the ambitinn of a few fa
vorites, while the French had gained their liberty,
- an ucqniliUon of territory immense, with the re
- Iteration of all the islands in the EaR and Well
'lndies, and, in all probability, a large part of the
thirty million loan, called for this year by Mr.
Add ngtorf, if )lieu of the Toulon ships ; (as giv
< ingop the fliips would be too glaring) the peo
to^do know when the (hips failed for France, but
vdl not find out when the guineas go over, as
-they will probably be sent privately. It is obii
ons to every one that Great-Britain has made
.-"- great faerUie# to obtain peace, and that France
•- ii<s made none. Bnt it is no wonder their friends
n tidr.k it ah honorable peace, as one year more of
~ # - war, in all probability, Great -Britain must have
fybnged her ^ebt/arid then the bubble would be
jrf't—forever^
T^f.< is 7 conceded point'.'that the very powers
