TO TILE EDITOR OF THE,BRITISII PRESS.
Silt,
The late interruption of my correspondence with
you, might need some apology, had I not good
reason to believe, that you are well aware how bu-
sily I must have been employed in the Councils of
France, and especially in assisting the French Bi-
shops in drawing up their ~ Addresses to the Clergy
on the subject of the War !" However, being in
that situation much engaged in the contemplation
of invasion, I have been perusing in Aylett Sammy'
Britannia Antigua Ilvtrata ; or, the Antiquities of
Ancient Britai , an account taken from Tacitus, in
Vit. Agric. of the invasion of this country by the
Romans ; from which I shall here transcribe some
applicable parts of the speech of Galcacus, previous
i to a desperate battle with the ;:"Ivaders.
In the 82d year of the Christian :era, the first of
Domizian's reign, and the fourth of Agricola's go-
vernment in Britain, ‘, Glota and Bt lotri a, now
Dun-Britton, and Edinbarrough i'ryths, together
with all the creeks and havens on this side, were
held by the Roman garrisons." In 85,* Agricola
:lurched with his army .4 as far as the mountain
Gearrpiul, upon which the enemy was ernbattlei."
" Natri," says the I.a:in Historian, 4, Britanni nihil
fi aEti papa: ptioris eventu, et ultioncm gut sei vi-
tints' exspeZtantes, tandemque doEti commune peri-
culum, concor.iia propulsandum, legationibus et
fcederibus omniu:n civitatum vices exciverant.''
" The age__ I_ mse/ ves would not be exempted from thir
d At
dais: servia, but as they had been famous in their
time, so every one carried before him some badge
or ttol.hy of his youthful atchievements. Amongst
the rest, Galcacus, chief is authority and birth,
when the army cried out for the signal of battle to
be given, is said to have spoken to this purpose :
t " GA LC .sot ;, his Speech to his Souldiers before
lia3le.
" As often as I consider the cause of the war, and
our present necessity, I ant strongly persuaded tint
this day, and this chearful consent ol yours, will give
beginning and life to the liberty of all Britain.
Arms iv's,' tattle, which to she valia,,t art honourable.
prove now the safest ref age of cowardt..
4, Hitherto, in all the battles fought against the
Romans, with various success, we have alwaies been
hitherto as a forlorne hope, and upon occasions a
powerful reserve, because we, the noblest of the
island, and seated in the most hidden retirements of
it, have never so much as seen the :hoar: of a truck-
ling nati.on, or p,qlßted car eyes with any contagion of
statitey. Placed in the extremes of tlvz earth and
liberty, we have lived in the inmost chambers of ho-
nour, beyond which there is no more earth, and bc-
sas wi, eh there is no fradcm.
" Now the end of Britain is discovered, and
things known catty less shew and appearance.
There are no nations behind to amuse the enemy.
Rocks and waves are on that side, and on this
Romans, whose pride in vain ye may ;eel to :atisfy
with service and ,übniissim, Rua HERS OF THE WORLD,
that having now left no land to plunder, ransack
the sea itself.
~ If the enemy be rich, they are greedy of his wealth;
if poor, they covet glory, whom not the East or West
could ever satisfy. The only men in she world, that
with equal apps ite seek the rich and needy. To ROB,
KILL AND PLUNDER, THEY CALL EMPIRE ; AND
WHEN THEY HAVE BROUGHT DESOLATION TO A

COUNTRY THEY CALL IT ?RACE.
" We, as yet, in our full strength, and never tamed
by any, born and not redeemed into liberty, must urge for
an encounter, if ever we will spew what manner of
man Calidonia bath reserved in store. Do you
think the Romans are as valiant in war as they are
wanton in peace ? The gods have delivered them,
as it were, mowed up and fettered into our hands ;
let not the vain stew and glittering of gold and sil-
ver dazzle you, a thing which neither.defends in
itself or annoy eth.
,4 Here is a General, here an army ; there the tti-
butes, there the mines, with the train of 'liveries, that
unseparably attend upon bondage, all which mint for
ever be unde►gone, or in this one battle revenged. WHER
1.-
TORE GOING TO RAMC, REAR IN vouß MINDS
THE FREEDOM Or YOUR ANCESTORS, AND THE DAN-
GER OF YOUR POSTERITY I !!
[4, The Britains received this oration with great
teNtimonies of joy, as my, confused noise:, after the
customs of their country, and a dissonant sort of bowl-
ing, which chewed their approbation."]
Temple, July 2. OLD NICK.
* It was itt the year of 86, poet Christ, that the Romans
ISM discovered that Britain was an island.
t This Speech of Galcacus is very rudely translated trots
Tacitus.

A report prevails, and we think it by no means
improbable, that the late addresses to the Fi Jur
CONSUL, which have described him as possessed of
that genius which overcomes all difficulties, and pro-
tected by that fortune which commands victory,
will be immediately followed by whets, to implore
him not to trust to his genius or his fortune, by ac-
companying the projected expedition to England.
I hey will tell him, no doubt, that a life so dear to
the people of France, and so necessary to the liber-
ties of Europe, is not to be trusted to winds and
waves, or exposed to the ferocious perple, against
whose shores he meditates his vengeance.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
Nemmx••!•
•
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, luLv O.
DEA,. V. BRATHWAITE.
• This was an anion of Trespass, brought by the
Plaintiff, a stable-keeper, against Captain Brath-
waite, for unlawfully seizing two horses, the pro-
perty of the Plaintiff, and so immoderately driving
them, that one of them died and the other was ma-
terially injured. It appeared that the Defendant,
on the 26th of Aiwist last, had hired a chaise and
four for the purpose of going to Epsom races. He
was accompanied by a Major Morgan, and their
valets •, the valets rode inside the chaise, and the
Defendant and his friend were in the Larowthe.
When they came to Wandsworth Common, the
Defeo lant, who wished to get to Epsom time
enough for the Derby plates, thought the postil-
lion did not drive with sufficient speed. He
ordered him to dismount, and upon his refusal pulled
him off, inhumanly kicked him on the face, and
l ft him laying in the road, in a state of insensibility.
He then took the reins himself, and drove with such
rapidity, that when the animals reached Epsom,
they appeared in a state of the utmost distress. One
of them, a fine free horse, before in perfeft health,
staggered, and fell down. It rose again, was
walked about a mile, then fell down, strug-
gled, and diet. The other was rendere I
and incapable of working as usual. The de-
fence set up was, that the Postillion was drunk, and
tiait th • Defendant had therefore pulled him off,
and drive the chaise. This defence was attempted
to be substantiated by Major Morgan, but there did
no: appeAr the least foundation for it. .1 he Jury
g.tve a Verdia for 41 1. allowing 361, for the horse,
v:hich had been killed, and 51. for the one injured.
