time submitted many -reimu.kti upon those topics
alluded to iu the speech, which he considered
worthy of their serious consideration. In times so

tainly presented a gloomy appearance ; still it only
rendered the efforts mod unanimity of this country
more peculiawy necessary to repel the attempts of
our inteterate enemy. lie made several observa-

Whatever difference of opinion might exist in re-

would genendly concur in the propriety of making
every exertion to divert the attention of the enemy,

make a disadvantageous peace was one of those
disasters which we ought to lament with the

however sincere they were on their part. that, ow the
