the-publicSla,—Yon mad wail indeed, aced too,
rejoice in the nestles of your indefatigable exertions to re-
store to us our national defence. In 11117 the duke wrote :
"We have no defence, or hope of defence, excepting our
Seel." This was the honest confession of one who knows
what war Is. Now, what was the danger from which the
duke wished to mean the country, or, if that wasnot poe
able, to enable us to meet ? It was not the landing
of a few thotmead men, but that the enemy might
land his Infantry on the meat, and " establish
himself and his communications with France." That
was the real &niter, sir, satinet which the noble
duke wished to guard ; sad well, therefore, did hls
grace observe, " we have no defence except in our fleet."
Every Englishman must therefore, sir, hail with delight
the return of cur gallant Tagus Sem, to form, as you justly
observe, " thenucleus of a powerful squadron near home.
We shall thus require no militia to prevent an enemy from
establishing his footing on our shores, and he will find it a
precious puzzle to keep up "his communications with
France." What the duke wanted, we are now likely soon
to have, and the voice of the nation has on one occasion at
least been heard through the press. The day may not be
far off when Lord John Rowell may beer it again. I
have more to say about his lordship's speech, but must rt-
serve it for a future occasion.
