This expedition, which cost the English toot.
Maus sums, only serveikkherefore toslestroy the il-
lusion, which had indacea them to imagine, that it
was easy to seize on the Spanish: possessions. The

Their fourth expedition has been most notori-
ous. It was that of Copenhagen ; the most atro-
cious expedition of which histo-y can preserve the
remembrance ; the shame with which it has co-
vered the English Government is indelible.
Why did the English evacuate Zealand and
Copenhagen, when the Danish Goveitusent would
. sot ratify the capitulation, and the engage-
Mon to evacuate no longer existed ? Why
ad the English evacure when the niece Royal
refu c 4 .o receive their Envoy? When that Prince
concluded an offensive and defensive alliance wish
France? When be only answered their propositions
.by the setal of the Agent he had at London?
In fine, wh n, in his political negotiations, he
speaks only of th.. English, by calling them robbers,
a name they have so well merited ? Why ?—Be-
cause they ate well 4. ouvirgeti of their weakness sad
inability by land.

The spproach of the sea‘on, when the ice would
leader tie arrival of the Danish trc,-ps possible,
determined them prudently to take to flight, instead
of waiting for the enemy whom they had surprised
"ben unarmed, and whom it would soon be neces-
Miry to eumbat; a disgraceful Bight, which can

Sever he treated with too much contempt.
After these Ewa Expeditious, which so manifestly
.ahow the meal and military decline of England, let
. •
se speak of the situation into which it has brought
Portugal. The Prince Regent tf Portugal loses his
throne; he loses it, influenced by the intrigues of
Zegland : he loses it because he would not seize the
English merchandise which was at Lisbon. What
then does England, that powerful ally She sees with
Mt indifference what passes in Portugal. What will
she do when Portugal shall be taken? Will she go
and seize upon Brazil ? No. If the English make
that attempt, the Catholics will drive them out.—
The fall of the House of Braganca will remain a

sew proof, that tLe dean union of v.ltownoever at-

whit himself to the Engl:sh. is inevitable.
Bait in the mid.t of so many disastr, us events,what
do tha Eng:ish Ministers wish ? We do not ,Ay Eng-
land; hogiand wiles only what all nations wish,
p ace; ai.d to enjoy at length tranquillity, under the

mint, wit:. It ilaif deClAttLi ferpelliAl war. These
systems of petretual war will last no longer than
those crises, in which wild and extravagant

Men wished to abrogate tie law of nations, and
push every thing to the extreme. The Committee
of Oligarchs at London is Aduated by the same
sentiments as those which animated our Revolu-
tionary Committees ; those who dire.t it are equally
atrocious with Marat. What did he more atrocious
than to present to the world the proipett of a per-
petual war ? These Diredors of Government will
mid as all violent zard furious men have ended ;
they will become the opprobrium of their own
country, and the objet of the hatred of all other
sations. The refusal of the Emperor Alexander,
and the excediiion ter Copenhagen, suGiciently re-
veal the sentin.ents of the English blinistry, and
their system of perpetual war.
The first consequence of these events has, there-
fore, bees, to determine the nations cf *the Conti-
nent, which were stall at peace with Enland, to
break off, in future, all coneedion with her.—
Austria did not hesitate. Scarcely had the Em-
peror Francis It. received certain information of
the events at Copenhagen, and the refusal of the
Eighth to accept the mediation of Riesiia, when
be declared war against England. Already the
bl-a.karie is close on every side. Lord Pembroke,
he left Vienna, in order to return to London,
was forced to embark at Triest. The correspond-
ma of Li .gland, with every part of the continent,
is intercepted. There are more than a hundred
thousand Eng:ish letters, and Bills of Exchange to

Cairo at the head of all the cavalry, and the flow. r
of the infantry, and marched straight against the
enemy.

6.1 pitched my camp in the plain of Damenk, near
six leagues from the place called Sed, an 'tunnelled
post of the English. I sent, doting the night, a few
of the light-horse to the spot, for the purpose of re-
connoitring the position of the English, and the
means to be takes for surrounding them. I march-
ed forward myself, and secured the most proper
places for the raising of my batteries, and for the
introduCtion of the 'armed boats and gun-barks,
which are on both Banks of tha Sed. This operation,
performed in the silence of the night, having lasted
for some time, could not be concealed from the
knowledge of the boats which the enemy kept sta-
tioned on the lakes. Accordingly he fared many
annon-elms, which happily did us no damage.

Lad already given him the alarm ; next day,
we saw arrive with the Maj,n, who had been sent to
me twice before as a negociator, the second in com-

" Is sot the demand which you stake in the name

which the English made without there being yet
any attack on either side, having been weighed in
the Counel, were accepted. It was considered
that the infidels may well employ tensing and

nates. On the ether hand it was observed, that the
port of Sed could not be carried without leading
troops there. and that cut account of the ground
which the Me leaves uncovered in its ordinary
