The ferocious enemy who threatens to

carrying on his preparations. His pride
supports him, notwithstanding the want of
confidence of the unfortunate victims of his
despotism, whom he in-ends to employ on
this rash expedition. In vain does he try,
with unequalled impudencies, to pervert
and misrepresent facts for the put[>ose of
animating his soldiers and saiiers ; il:ey all
know the losses he has sustained ; they all
know that to flight alone they are indebted
for their lives ; and they all see that the bat

what an unlimi ed confidence you should re
pose in the heroic valor of our royal navy
and that of our august ally, the K.. g of G
B.- To this moment they have baffl’d he
enemy’s attempts ; and with unimpaired
zeal and courage, rh«> will continue t avert
from our shores the dreadful evils with which
you are threatened. Bui what brilliant re
suits have you not a right to expec. of chel
rishing in your own breasts the enthusiastic
love of loyalty with which you are nobly an
imated ; and join your assistance exertions
and mean-, to the forces which we and our
gallant ally oppose to the enemy. Then
will victory be certain, and youi • rti-quili.

religion, and of all the .Ejects of y„0r re.
gards. and the sentimemsof love and attach

ons.
Hold, then, yourselves in readiness tmioin.
at the voice of your Sovereign and F.slier,
our troops and those ot our faithful ally, the
King of G. Britain, for the purpose of resist
ing the threatened invasion, and thereby se
curing his throne and its independence, and
let your alacrity in ob.ving this call, afford
the enemy an additional proof, that, making
common cause with our allies, the English
you follow our example, & comply with our
will ; and that, therefore, he will find in all
the inhabitants of this island a gtneral and
unanimous determination to shed to the last
drop of their blood, and to die with arms in
