The mutineers, I foamy, had no idea that we should at-

perfeetly that the true reason is that the &pop were pam-
pered and petted until they began to see that we were afraid
of them ; but they would never bare attempted to rise had not

ths people of the country are with us, and the mutinous army
once defeated and dispersed, we shall soon have the country
square again ; but it le na joke to best 170,000 men ; and they
must send plenty of troops from England. At least twenty
Mare regiments should be sent, 4,000 artillery, sod plenty
of heavy guns-48 and 66 pounders—for we shall
have plenty of sieges ; and we require a command
of artillery Ike over the mailmen. Here we are
flung eighteen-plunders and sight-inch howitzers, and the

indeed, • bitter satire on the philanthropist, who were far
