this toast in their presence, on hoard the French Ad-
miral's ship in the port of Cherbourg. I am happy to
show the sentiments we entertain towards them. In
fact, fact.. .peak for themselves, and they prove that
hostile Nimmons, aided by a few unfortunate incidents,
did not succeed in altering either the friendship which
exists between time two Crowns or the desire of the two

resentments and time passions of another epoch, they
