now that they have been informed of theeiploits
•the Duke of Candiridge, as tney have no room to
celebrate his glory, they point their declamations
against the perfidy of the I'. remit. According.to
them, every idea of justice has been disregarded
the law of nations has beeni violated in tee molt
barbarous manner. But m order to ui,detaand
these gentlemen, k must be reculicded that 'there
is a parts:mine hind of a law of ante,ate, cg
perfectly new sort, calculated fo: the use and intteest
of the Government of Great Br itain.
They pretend that. France has violated the Get-
manic Constitution; and that the Llet.tor et Hano-
ver ought to take no part iu the quarrels olds. Kin/
of England. History and reason afford sunicient
answers to those miserable arguments.
By virtue_ of the famous Guiders ;lull, the Eketori
of the Holy Empire have, individually, a right to
nuke peace or war, as formerly all tile 'possessors of
great fiefs in France. It is not the Kist time that 3A
Elector rr akes war on liovereigns, or that Sove-
reigns make war, upon an Eletior: of this the rein
of Charles V. fureishes several examples. In the
seven years' war, the Eiedor of Hanover, King cf
England, raised his ster•dard'agaiest the imperial
House ; and when the French army entered the
Elettorate, as one of the derninions of the Engli,h
monarch, no one pretended to discover that that
measure was contrary to the I.aw of Nat ens. France
has, therefore, the indisputable right sell to at•ach
the King of England in Iris continental pcssersions.
'I hese complaints brnedly betray the slirit of am-
bitian and illftaith, whch charederites and din as
the Cabinet of that Monarch. What ?In his capa-
city of King of Engi,nd, he finds that France en-
dangers the liberty of Europe by her uoirputioes ;
he Ries to arms to espouse the quarrel of the, Kings
of the Continent ; and in his capacity of Eledor
Hanover, where he is more nearly interested, he
discovers no cause of complaint in the condat of
France. He looks upon France as a good ally ;he
is not disinclined to be at peace with her ! This
proves that the King of England acknowledges no
other right than that of force, anc that the
Eledor of Hanover is silent only from the con-
sciousness of weakness. Such is the golden rule,
of jnst and unjust, which his Majesty adopts. Lut,
doubtless, if he could rekindle the flames of war
upon the Continent, if Hanover could furnish ail
army of two hundred thousand men, King *so***
would not thus caead his trrittraliti I
Besides, the kind of warfare which France is now
waging against Hanover, caneot be considered as
waged against Hanover, properly so calle.t, but
against Hanover, inasmuch as it belongs to the King
of England, and against the Hanoverian troop', in-
asmuch as they are the troops of the King of Eng-
land ; but, in that point of view, Hanover hay never
been the inactive spedator of the quarrels of Eng-
land. The blood of Hanover has been known to
flow in all quarters of the globe, for the advantage
of a despotic company. In the American war, the
troops employed by England were Hanoverrans. In
India, in Egypt, every where have these brave soldiers
been sacrificed to the ambitions rapacity of the Eng.-
lish. France has a right to wrest from leer enemy the
means that may be employed against herself. She
has thelndisputatle right to st,n) the exportation d
the gold, and of the soldiers cr the King of gang.
land. That Monarch does not acknowledge either
treaty or law of nations, because he imagines .hirn-
self to be unassailable in his island ; bnt let a favour-
able wind blow, and he shalt be attacked wherever
he can be reached! —kornieur.
