he was certain that his neighbours intended to 'err

cectrearily follows that we expect it to be imme-
diately burned down.

This brings us to the busybodies on the other side
of the water. They are evidently disposed to inter-
pret our simple and very moderate means of self-
defence in a hostile and regressive seine. This,
however, is really too much, and must be compare-
duly harmless from its very absurdity. The
figures on which this interpretation is made to net
will not bear a moment's examination. In the first
*or, es we have already hinted, they are worth-
less t sad in the second place, if perfectly trust-
worthy, they would prove nothing.. Seven years
ago our fleet doubled that of Francs, and
that is the serval proportion between the
fleets of the two Gauntries measured by the
fair requirements of each. We occupy an
insular position, have a vast and widely scattered
colonial empire, and the most extensive commerce in
the world. France hu • comparatively smell
foreigntrode,ffew colonies, and depends on her armies
far defence. Our naval requirements are thus more
than double theme of our neighbour. But after the
eatrsordinary• exertions of this year, oar fleet will
still be little more than equal to the French fleet.
With what colour of reason or probability then can
our efforts to place the defenoes of the country= a
decent footing be construed into a hostile demonstra
ties lied we suddenly raised oar army from 100,000
, to 400,000, then there might, indeed, be some ground
far such an interpretation. But on the grounds al-
aged the suspicion convicts itself ea a =geoid= of
that restless busylladyness that is the bane of social
and national life.
