ON THE POWER OF ENGLAND.
I T is an aggregate of a vast number of particulars that forms the power of a country. Wealth, trade, manufactures, agriculture, population, much engagement in war, climate, government, &c. all have a strong effect in rendering kingdoms weak or powerful. Sometimes two or three so strongly combine as to make up the want of many others. This general aggregate of fortunate circumstances is, upon the whole, greatly in favour of Britain. She has arose to a state of prosperity by silent and slow degrees; her power is fixed in that prosperity, and the nature of it such, as to bid fair to be of much longer duration than that either of France or Spain. But let it not be thought, that I am hinting any thing at a probability of universal empire; her situation alone, were every other circumstance in her favour, would prevent the execution of such an idea; and this incapacity must have the best effect, in securing to her that degree of power, to which she may naturally attain.
The Union of the two kingdoms of England and Scotland under one King, and the total reduction of Ireland, were the two events that laid the foundation of the British power. When arts and commerce animated the northern parts of Europe in general, it was scarcely possible, from the si-
tuation of this island, but that it must become a great trading kingdom: This was a natural event, almost dependent on situation. The fall of the Spanish monarchy laid the foundations of our naval power, which has never ceased to rise from the days of Elizabeth to the present hour. The maritime power of England is not the wayward child of an absolute monarch, who determines to be potent on every element; it is the slow, natural growth, of more than two hundred years, which has stood many fierce attacks, and weathered many a storm.
Another circumstance, which has continued and increased every other advantage, is the peculiar felicity of our Constitution: All the great kingdoms of Europe have lost their liberty, except England; Liberty has carried her trade, agriculture---manufactures---wealth---and navy, to a pitch to which they would never otherwise have attained.
Another point of vast importance is the uncommon union of trade and agriculture: The amazing commerce of England is equal to that of the most famous States, who have been great by commerce alone; and this vast trade has been carried on, not by a knot of unhappy men, like the Dutch, who were forced to be traders or nothing; but by a great landed nation, among whom trade enlivened agriculture, and agriculture yielded immense products from trade.
Lastly, the periods of these various circumstances coming in full play, was at the time when the rival nation had passed the meridian of her grandeur, so that England was the rising, France the setting sun. No other power arose to dispute the palm of equality; she had not then a France succeeding Spain in great Power, to draw her off, and waste her strength with fresh contests.
All these are reasons for conjecturing, that this country will in her turn be the first power in the Christian world; she cannot aim at universal monarchy, and that moderation will save her from efforts beyond her strength, and from alliances among the rest of Europe to pull down her power. It will therefore be more stable, and far most prosperous, than that either of Spain or France.
The progress of the power of any kingdom in Europe must be examined and ascertained by a general view of its principal transactions among the other powers, whose history is consulted; not by examining the opinions and factions within it, that either exalt it beyond the truth, or depress it far below the real fact: If these various and transitory assertions are taken as a guide, we should find Frenchmen pronouncing their country ruined at the peace of Nimèguen; and Spaniards proving that Philip the Second, at the beginning of his reign, was less powerful than the Kings of

Castile or Arragon ; in England, where the liberty of the press is so great, these impertinences are met with every day, inasmuch that the papers published here, to prove the nation undone from the revolution to the present time, that is, in the most prosperous time of the kingdom, would alone fill a large library ; the national debts of this country are certainly very considerable, but it seems preposterous to predict ruin to the State, because the right hand owes to the left, and as to the debt due to foreigners, it is comparatively inconsiderable : But where are the politicians that will venture to assure us of the impossibility of this kingdom applying the sponge, and yet presently after borrowing, again much more surprizing turns have happened in the history of human affairs.
The power of England is much too great to have any thing to dread from the united force of all her enemies. She is to be considered as a rising power that is at present acting the superior part upon the great theatre of Europe ; and those are very shallow politicians, who can prevail with themselves to think, that she is in any danger of falling under the power of France.

June 18. A correspondent says, "if Spain properly considers her own interest, she will not again become the dupe of France, by joining the latter in case of a rupture between the English and French.

June 20. Ireland was in a defenceless state at it is no longer so; exclusive of the national establishment which has lately been compleated, upwards of 3000 men have been sent over to that kingdom from Scotland; so that if France should attempt an invasion of Ireland, and tho' they should be happy enough to escape our fleet, yet they will find the kingdom so well prepared to receive them, that they will probably reap nothing from the attempt but disgrace.

NEW-YORK, August 24. Some Particulars of the British and French Fleets.
On Tuesday the 11th Instant, a most violent Tempest arose, which continuing until Friday following, dispersed both the Fleets. On Sunday the French Rear-Admiral, supposed to be Mons. Bosse, of the Le Zèle, (the Zealous) a Ship of 74 Guns, and rated to have 900 Men, bore down upon his Majesty's Ship Isis, commanded by Capt. Joan Raynor, of 50 Guns, who permitted not a Gun to be fired until his Enemy, approached very near the Isis, when a fierce Engagement ensued, and continued, it is said about an hour and an half. The Rear Admiral's Fire being very much directed against the Isis's Rigging, rendered her utterly incapable of pursuing the Zèle, who was a round, and being one of the best sailing Ships of the Count D'Estrang's Squadron, escaped from Capt. Raynor by Flight; during the Action a Quantity of Papers were observed to be thrown out of the Cabin Windows of the Zèle.
On Saturday Afternoon his Majesty's Ship Ranelagh, of 50 Guns, commanded by Capt. George Dawson, fell in with the Languedoc of 90 Guns, and rated to have 1100 Men, about thirty Leagues South East of Sandy Hook; this capital Ship had been dismasted in the Storm on the 11th Instant. The Ranelagh attacked her on the Quarter, and kept up a steady Fire against her from 4 o'Clock 'till Dark, intending to renew the Engagement in the Morning; but the French Admiral availing himself of the Darkness of the Night, brought his Ship to an Anchor, by which Means the Ranelagh became separated three or four Miles from him. At Day break, Capt. Dawson observed the Count D'Estrang, attended with several other Ships of his own Squadron; which occasioned the 50 Gun Ship to bear away, and he thereby escaped from a Superiority, to himself, invincible.
His Majesty's Ship Preston, commanded by Commodore Hotham, of 50 Guns, and rated for 350 Men, fell in with the Le Tonant, of 84 Guns, and rated for 1100 Men, said to be commanded by Mons. Bougainville, a Gentleman, who in the last War had the Honour of serving his Sovereign in Canada, and is allowed to be an Officer of distinguished Abilities. This Ship had lost her Bowspit and Fore mast, on the 11th Instant. The Preston raked her Fore and Aft a considerable Time, and would certainly have made a Prize of her but for the Intervention of several other Ships of the Toulon Fleet, which occasioned the Preston to leave her to their Protection.
Lord Howe's PUBLIC ORDERS. The Bravery of the Officers and Ship's Company of the Isis, amongst which the Volunteers from the Transports and the Soldiers of the 23d Regiment, have been particularly noticed, in a late Action with a French 74 Gun Ship, bearing a Flag at the Mizen top-mast Head, and thence supposed the Zèle; and the distinguished Ability and Resolution of Capt. Raynor, shews on that Occasion, claim from the Admiral this public Acknowledgment of their meritorious Services, by which they have furnished a bright Example for the Imitation of the British Fleet.
The Ferret Galley, Capt. O'Brien, is cast away near Shrewsbury, in a late violent gale of wind, and the crew are prisoners on their parole, at Prince Town in New-Jersey: They are 30 in number.
Capt. Bridger Goodrich, of the Schooner Hammond privateer, about 20 Leagues of the Southward of the Hook, fell in with the brig Black Prince, of 12 guns and 48 men, which, after a short Engagement, struck to the Hammond. Capt. Goodrich had an officer of marines, and one seaman wounded; the Richmond frigate, Capt.
Jedouia commander, at the time of action, was about 5 miles distant.
Capt. Davis says, that Admiral Barring-ton, at Barbadoes with the London fleet, about the latter end of June.

These ships were first under the command of Beaumarchais, one of the French ministers, noted for his affection to the American cause; and tho' they belonged to the King, came out under the appearance of merchantmen. This fleet it is said is soon expected to join the Count D'Estrang, and act for a season under his orders.
