The chance of war, so long favourable in Canada, has
line" pecterily turned against es. Taught by repeated re-
yeiscs, Mr. MADISON% herpes have learnt at last to march .
with over whehning numbers against the scattered forces
with whiA we occupy these extensive provinces. By a coin I
bitted attar k by water and land, on York, the capital of
Upp'r Canada, the ~27th of April hst, they succeeded in
earrvincz that town, ‘vhich was defended by only nine bun-1
ered tegulars and tnititia and seven huhdred Indians, whilst
tile land force ..f the enemy alone consisted of boon then.
This important post was well defended, Rnd the American
General (Pike), with upwards of 100 of his men, and forty
Bri7ish, were kiiled by the Mowing up of a mine berme our
works. The rei.oit that aS2 gun frigate, nearly ready for
launching, was destroyed at tlmt place, is not credited,
though seveml vessels of inferior magnitude. on the stnrks
were burnt. to prevent their falling into the bands of 11w
enemy. It tins believed that Cieneral DEARBORN would not
be able to maintlin himself long at York.

By letters received di! e, t from Madrid, the evacuation of
that capital by the French is fully confii med. They beau
to retrofit precipitately on the 27th, not only from the city
itself, but fom all the hosts in its vicinity ; fearful, as it
should seem, of beim; cut off by the rapid advance of the
allied army. The !;;paniards were full of exultation ; and, in
the height of their sanguine hopes, pronounced this to he the
List campaign which the invaders would carry on in the
l'enin,u la. 'lO make it the last, however, they must drive
the French not merely behind the Ebro, lint across the
Pyrenmeg. Unless that be done, the labour of the Allies is
a!l labour in vain.

lage near Toro. Lielit. COTTON was killed, and Capt.
LLOYD made prisoner. The 10th and 18th, took 2(47
prisoners, and, but for the French haying much artillerY,
the whole brigade would have been destroyed. Gewal

with his usual good humour ; hut not returning §o s,:en as he was ex-

for the cause of his delay, and concluded that he had, in all probability,
forgot himself, and descended through some other communication ;
however, they were not kept long in suspense, for the poor hoy re-

PENAL LAWS.

Sir S. ROMILLY rose to make the *notior, of which he had given
notice. He had, a tew sessions ago, brought in three Bills, which he
thought were proper objects tio• legislative interfererce. The first Of
the three bills he brought in was, to repeal the Act making it a capi-
tal offence to steal privately in a dwelling. house to the amount of
40s. ;—the s cotid, to repeal an Act to make it'a capital offence to
steal to the amount of five shillings in a stable ;—anti the third, to
steal privately, to the same amount, in a vessel on the Thames, or
any other river. All these Acts had past.ei the Flouse of Commons
by a very considerable majority, but were rejected in the other House.
The Bill he now meant to bring in, was for the purpose of repeal.
ing the Act of King William, making it a capital offence to steal to
the value of five shillings in a shop. I t had always appeared to him
highly objectionable, that penal laws should ex:7;t which were not
enforced; this bed been particularly the case with respect to the
act he now alluded to. In London and Middlesex last year, 133 per.
sons had been indicted capitally, out of which number, only 13 had
beat convicted ; of the rest, 11,3 had been convicted of the larceny
part of the charge, and 13 had been acquitted, so that it appeared
one-tenth only were convicted, and of that tenth not one had been
executed. From this he argued, that laws, which were in their na-
ture too severe, defeated the end for which they were enacted, and
were seldom or ever executed, from a sort of universal understanding
between prosecutors, witnesses, and jurors. No man couii suppose
that a person stealing privately in a shop to the value of five shillings,
ought, for that offence, to be subjected to the forfeiture of life. He
did not know, and therefore would not say, that no person had suf-
fered death under this law • but as far as lie could learn, no ono ever
had. 1 t would be, he observed, a desirable thing also, that the
judges should be removed from that painful responsibility with which
they were now charged, viz. that of passing a sentence, which, they
were conscious was too severe • or of granting a pardon in a case on
Which the prisoner was convicted on the most indubitable evidence. lie
,'then went into a statement of the judgment against the persons lately
convicted of stealing silk on the river ; and asked, when the amount of
that was considered, what must be the opinion of any man as to a per.
son's being condemned to death for stealing in a vessel on a navigable river
only to the arnouet of five shillings; and yet, in the case abieve al.
luded to, though the amiattot at so very great,. all the Jury had
joined in a petition to the Prince Regent, to spare the lives of the cul-
prits, He next alluded to the punishments for High Treason. These

lions sterling wa3 on its way from our ports to America, and
would, if it had not fallen into the hands of privateers, have
at best reverted to our warehouses, already over filled, and
couttibuted to increase the distress of our manufacturers, by
augmentiog the quantity of goods on hand, and dimitii,hing,
if not totally suppressing, the demand for more. Our West
India Islands, still deriving many necessary articles from the
neighbouring continent, would have been exposed to severe
privations by the sudden close of all intercourse in that
quarter. And an interest of still greater importance would
have been materially injured. Excluded, at that time, from
almost all communication with the European Continent,
except the Peninsula, Which, ravaged by' contending armies,
did nut produce sufficient food for their support, we were
compelled to draw supplies for our troops and those of our
allies from America, until another source of subsistence
should be opened either by negociation or by the events of
war. To have hastened a rupture with the United mates at
such a conjuncture would, therefore, have been curtailing
our own means, without materially. if at all, impairing those
of the enemy, We therefore remained satisfied with a par-
tial blockade of the American ports, which enabled us to
allow that portion of trade which suited our convenience and
interests, .and in a great measure to impede that which
could only prove beneficial to our opponents, without bring-
ing the question of peace or war to a final decision.
It is evident that such a line of conduct, on our part, al-
though u►►attended with brilliant triumphs, and perhaps even
the cause of the capture of two of our frigates by vessels of
superior strength, was such as became the circumstances' of
the times. Policy may occasionally suspend the execution
of the sword, and the Pen may 'be sometimes wielded to
much advantage by the hand, which, according to an elo-
quent orator, " ought to launch the thunder." This was
the case during the period which immediately preceded and
followed the first acts of American hostility. To judge
whether blame ought to attach to those who had the manage-
ment of the war, it is only necessary to inquire, whether
the few losses which we have experienced at sea, althougl►
painful to a nation accustomed to conquer, are of such a
nature as to outweigh the advantages gained. What is called
the indecisive character of our policy, may have occasioned
the capture of two of our frigates,. by not shutting Pp the
American war vessels in their ports; but it has secured -the
highly profitable sale of five millions of British merchandise
'—it has enabled us to place our West India island; in a si-
tuation to feel no inconvenience from the hostilities car-
ried on with the American contineut—and has amply sup-
plied the wants of our armies and allies abroad, These are
benefits which ought to he laid in the scale, and then

Mr. EDI Ott—An admirer of that soft: but imposing style,'

mean that of .e,king questions in such a manner as to induce
theioorant to believe they eleveiope facts of importance,
to suppo,e that they must be answered its the affirma-
tive; as an admirer, I say, of this style, permit me to give
VeTes a few hin!s for Ins next letter, through the medium
your Jut,! nal. I need hardly observe, this appears. to be
necessary? f. a,n the cireurnstance of his stock of queries be-

natel- through the iltilare of his prophecies.
NV hen he writes again let him begin thus :
If I :en not misinformed Buoraparte attributes his
escape solely io the absence of Lord Wellesley from the
theatre of w tr. nat must the Pubic think of the Go-
vernment when they are told, that Lords Liverpool, Castle-
reagh, and Sidmouth, and L',7r: Vansittart, were all going to
drown themselves in the Canal, when they found VET US
was not silneed, and were only prevented by the entrance
of a ser ;ant who informed them dinner waited, upon which
they re,elved tn,t to dikr.va till they liad dined ! Did not
the Emperor Alexander say, if Lord ‘Vellesley had been
present, not a French ee:urnmcrewould have got off? Did not
the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia say, they
would unite with Russia directly if Lord Wellesley returned
to office? Did not Bernadotte and the King of Denmark
sav the same thing ? And lastly, did not Iluenaparte and
all his Generals, at the commencement of the campaign,
declare that they would order their troops to lay clown
their arms, and surrender themselves, without striking a
blow, if Lord Wellesley were sent out?"

REPORTED EVACUATION AND BURNING OF AIADIUD.
A Cork Paper received yesterday contains the following
statement :—"'The Venus cutter, of Bristol, Sit LT Eft, MM.
ter, arrived at Bearhavcn on the 11th instant, from Seville.
which place she left on the 25th ult. The Master, who ap •
pears to be a person of good intelligence, gives a very grati-
fying ripmentation of Spanisb atillirs. Ile states, that in.
formation had reached Seville before his departure, that the
French had evacuated Madrid, having first, with their usual
atrocity, set fire to that city in different places, which, how-
ever, was fortunately subdued before it had been prOductive
of mischief to any serious extent. It was understood at Se-
vilk, that this movement resulted from an order issued
by BEONAPARTE. that 40,000 French troops should proceed
from Spain, as it was conjectured for the North of Europe.
The mandate of NAPOLEON had produced a convention of
the French Generals at Madrid, in which the ahandonintnt
of Nladi id was adopted—and it was believed at Seville that
the evacuation of :'pain was finally contemplated by the
French army in that kingdom. If wh:a the • Master of the
Venus communicates of the French having withdrawn from
Madrid, and BUONAPAP.TE having' demanded 40,000 men
to augment his army in the North be authentic, and he men-
tions his authority to be not less creditable than the British
Consul nt Serille—ice can very readily believe the supposi-
tious part of his intelligence, as to their intention of retiring
altogr tbcr from Spain."
We have only to • remark on this intelligence, that it ap-
pears rather strange that the Venus cutter should have sailed
from Seville, which is an inland city with a river not navi-
gable, at that distance from the sea, for vessels of any bur-
then. From Lisbon we have accounts of so late a date as
the Bth inst. and we have dispatches from Marquis of WEL*
LINGToN of the 2701 Ilk His Lordship had board that
JOSEPH BUONA PAR r r. had hishead-quartets at Madrid, but he
does not state the time, and that " the three armies of Por-
tugal, the centre and south were united in Castille." The
Lisbon Papers, though so many days later than Lord WEL-
LINGTON'S dispatch, do not appear to have later accounts
from Madrid than the 15th and 16th. They state in one
article, that on the 14th many persons and convoys had kit
Madrid; in 'another. that SoULT had been ordered to
Prance; and in a third, the latest fr,r:n Lisbon, that Jo-
SEPII had left Madrid.—We therefore are inclined to think
that this report is one'of those which are unfounded in fact.

POLICE.

I.7stoN ALL.—A man was brought before Mr. CnAmrtras, char-
ged with having committed a nuisance and breach of peace in black-fri-
ars road It ar peared, that a tradesman in that neighl2ourhood,
having obtained a quantity of soap from a soap manufacturer in
Whitechapel, in a manner which the soap maker chose to consider
as very nearly allied to swindling ; he, to warn other tradesmen of the
quick sands among'ir which tiro' were sailing in that heighbourhood,
placed one of the men apposite the shop door, \Nit h a lighted candle
Ma lantern mounted high in the air on the top of a soap-boiler's ladle,
whilst on the most concpicuous part ot his dress was writien in large
letters, " beware of swindling? —goods paid for on delivery." This
exhibition commenced on Saturday, and collected a large crowd round,
the door, to the great annoyance ot the coop MAN cf the house, who
retnonstreed but without effect. On the approach of night, the lan-
tern bearer withdrew ; and the honest tradesmen flattered himself
the exhibition was at an end in this, however, he was mistaken.
The DAMNING VISION re-appeared on Monday morning, and the
mob became more numerous and critoantocr. than they had been on
the Saturday. Application was therefore made by the tradesman's
wife to the worthy Magistrate.fOr protection, who immediately dis-
patched two of the powers uncler his command, viz. Leckie and
Barrett, with orders to bring the mischievous spirit before him.. This
order was carr:ed into execution instantly. Jack-o'-the-lanrern was
seized, with all his paraphernalia, and matched prisoner to Union
Hall. When before the Magistrate, he recapitulated the provocation
which his master had receive l, and urged it ac his defence ; he was
however, informed, the off:nce of another coal • not he considered as
an extenuation of a breach of the laws on his part, which had subjec-
ted him to the pains of intoris,mment, as a vagrant, On his promise
not to offend again, :-.n'l the l;rosecutrix stqiiig, she did not wish to
press the law against him, the Magistrates discharged him.

Yesterday Jacob . De:my was indicted for kloniously smuggling
goods toni the coast of France, and lar:din; the same in this. country.
This otligce is recooised by au act of the .I.lth of his present Majesty,
coviding against illegal importations, awl it was the first case of the ,
sort brought before the Court. The prisoner, it appeared, was mate
of a smuggling cutter, Southgate master. The cutter sailed from
Iroadstairs, Kent, and tryuclied at Dunkirk and Gravesend, and,
although pursued by British cruisers, with one of which she ex-
rhange4 a shot ,• her contrinand cargo was landed in Cornwall. The
frets were clearly provcd in evidence, and the prisoner was convicted,
but the Jury recommended him to mercy, on the grounds that the
present was a new case.
John M' Douai was next put to the bar, chargel with breaking int'
the dwelling-house of Mc. Nintaird, who is proprietor of the Hum-
mums, in Covent•gatden, and stealing therefrom a pocket-bork, con-
taining .171. 15s. ivßank of England notes, and 1:;1. in Country Bank
notes.—The prisoner, it appeared, was discovered and taken into.cus-
tody on the preini:;es, about two o'clock on Wednesday-morning last,
and that the Bank of England notes and others stated in the indictment
were found on his person ; in consequence of which the Jury found
him Guilty.
The trial of Mrs'llowles, the widow of the late General, for bigamy,
is fixed for to-morrow. Mr. Brougham is retained for the lady, with
Mr. Alley.

Baron Wood, Mr. Justice Bailey, the Recorder, Sic. when Eleanor
Condon was capitally co,,victed, for stealing 121. in bank notes, the
property of J . Griffiths, in his dwelling•house.
Henry Sayer stood indicted for fraud and forgery, inkobtaining money
of the Clerks of different Counsel, by leaving briets, Sze. with checques
and obtaining money in change for the latter. On being arraigned,
the prisoner pleaded guilty to the fraud, and the indictment for forge-
ry was under3to •i 1 to have been in consequence dropped.
On Thursday Mr. Jervis was indicted for feloniously presenting a
pistol at Mr. Illedge, with intent to kill or maim,—Acquitted.
G eorgeW intle was indicted for feloniously forging and making a cer-
tain st:unp, re:;embling.that of the Directors at Goldsmith's Halloised

charges:

health three yeats, and was obliged to reside is the country, and his
son and his men carried oil his business.

COVENT GA RDEN I 11EATEE.

The tragedy of " lsatella" was last night performed. A
Mrs.-CAMVBt LL, formerly Miss WALL ts, and a favourite at
Covent gardt n'Theatre, Nv a 4 the represeutative of Itaella.
On entering she met with a hearty welcome ; and the ap-
Flames of the audience were frequently renewed iii the course
of her performance. In many parts of the character she was
far Born giving it that effect of which it is susceptible, and
frequently she spoke in so low a tone that it was impos-
sible to hear her at any considerable distance from
the stage. Diffidence is probably the cause to which
these faults should be ascribed, and, therefore, it may be
hoped they. will shortly be in a great. measure removed.
In several scenes her conception of the character appeared
to be excellent; but her want of physical powers or of con-
fidence, denied her the means of producing that stage effect
which is so es,ential to streci.ss on the London boards.
There were, however, some touches of genuine feeling oc-
casionally elicited with singular felicity ; but, upon the
whole, we.eannot think this line of acting that in which she
will succeed hest. To us she does not appear to possess those
powers which strike and cominaod; her claim to approbation
tests rather on those which interest and .affect. She was
successful hr her protraiture of pensive sorrow and meek
affliction, lst lost when she attempted the frenzy of horror
and the ravings of despair.
The other parts uf.thc play were well performed. YOUNG
and C. K MBI.H were eminently successful as Biron and Carlos.

The accidental omission of a line in our paper of last
week, caused a mis-statement to appear on the face of our
theattical article, which, though harmless and not very im-
portant, is perhaps worth correcting, in order to make the
Dramatic Register a satisfactory work of reference. It was
piloted \lrs. JORDAN commenced her engagement on
Wednesday last in the character of the Widow Cheerly."
But for the ace ident we have ntuntioned it would have read
CUS•••••." Irs.JORDAN commenced her engagement on Wed-
nesday last in the character of Dunna Violante, and last night
appvait d in that of the Widow Cheerly," &c.
The general merits of this celebrated votary of Thalia, are
too deeply fixed in the minds of the lovers of the drama to
be easily obli:erated f:oth ug...mory. Whenever she ttppears,
the fond recollection of past enjoyment-must make her an
object of more than common interest with the theatrical
world. If time bad robbed h,er of the power to please,
which she once possessed, still some indulgent cotOderation
would be due to the will, awl those whom she delighted in
her zenith, if possessed of the cowmen stwibili;ies of men,

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

541

Generals Nlilldradovitelt and.Dol'iterotr, with the troops which crossed
the frontier at Cfrodno, move in n line parallel to that of the Emperor,
on his left. and General Sackett's column is still farther to the left.
There are also intermediate corps to keep. up the comtnunication be-
tween each of these colomm.

The Austrians remAned upon tho Duff, pr-bably with a view to
create a diversion in favour of the army retiring upon Danizie, as 141
es their own line of retreat may remain open.
Graudentz has a Prussian earrison.
The Russians have titulb:lnly been received by the inhabitants of the
Prussian dominions as friends and deliverers, of-which there is ample
testimony in all private letters front the army, as well us in public
reports.
The retreat of the Trench through Prussia, has, like that from Mos-
cow, been marked by the abandonment of magazines, tumbrils, and
other stores.

Berthier, Victor, Macdonald, Darn, and Beauharnois, are named
among the Generals who are gone to Duntzic. The precise force in
that place does not appear to be clearly ascertained ; but, cannot
easily be estimated at more than half the nurnber of au adequate
garrison.
The intercepted courier from Bonaparte to Berthier, is said todhave
carried orders to complete the provisions of Dantzic for a long siege.
The service upon the Vistula appears to have been very ably per-
formed, and I have enclosed a copy of the thanks that have been gi-
ven to General Count Platotf, and the officers and troops under his
command, in general orders.
The intense cold has continued, and the marches. of all the columns
have been lung and severe. I have, &c.

FRENCH PAPERS.

We have received BUON AP AUTE'S speech to the Senate,
and a copy of the new Concordat. Both will be found
amongst our foreign intelligence. The expose has not yet
made its appearance ; probably because the law for raising
350,000 conscripts is now carrying into execution,and it would
be dangerous to damp their ardoiir by the exposition of a series
of unparalleled disasters. NAPOLEON'S speech is only re-
markable for the absence of information respecting the in-
tentions of his allies, and the assertion that he will drive
back the Russians into their horrid climes ; without mention-
ing the means which he will create, for he must create them,
since they were destroyed in the last campaign, to effect
that purpose. He is almost as bitter against us, as against
the premature severity of winter, to. which he attri-
butes all the great losses which he acknowledges he has ex-
perienced, and for which he offers no other consolation to
the French people, than that his " Dynasty reigns and wilt
reign in Spain," arid that as long as the naval war shalt
last, they must be ready to bear every kind of sacrifice. In
his disinterestedness he wishes for peace, because " it is neces-
sary to the world," though by no means wanted by him, in the
present prosperous state of his affairs. From the next para-
graph, however, in which he states that " he has made known
all the sacrifices be was disposed to make" to obtain peace, it
might be suspected that he has carried his generous love fur
mankind so far, as to condescend to sue for peace, did not
the praise he next bestows on the United States for their
hostility against us, and the hint he gives that he wa!:ts
great supplies to meet the great expenses required by cif.
cumstances, fully vindicate his unabated partiality for war.
The new Concordat displays the moral degridation of the
POPE. BUONA P A RTE had hitherto only robbed him of his
domains, be has now triumphed over his principles, lie has
purchased, with a promise of protecting the Roman Catholic
religion, the sanction of the fellen Pontiff to the abolition
of his temporal kingdom, and, in return, he engages to
create•Bishopricks in Holland, and allows him, with a rev ,
sloe of two millions of frant.:s, :he right of nominating to

proud ambition." •

ELStNEUE, Jan. 30.—Private accounts from Hamburg state, that
Dantzic.. is invested by the Russians. It appears, the latter are
marching along the shores of the Baltic, and not towards Berlin. The
Emperor Alexander has conferred new and great honours upon Prince
Kutusoff , and made hint a Prince ot the Royal Family.
Generals Platoff and Wittgenstein have also obtained large shares of
Royal favour.
I t is said a convention has been crmcluded between Prince Kutusoff
and .Prince Schwartzenberg, in consequence of which, the latter with-
draws his army through Poland and Galicia.
When the last post left Vienna, it was currently reported that a
Minister was to-be sent from thence to Wilna, on a mission to I.ondon.
Macdonald had left the army, and gone to Cassel.
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 4.—Buonaparte has taken possession of the
Hamburg Bank: Buonaparte -has demanded 60,000 cavalry of the
Danish Government, to which they replied, that they would. only
twins!) 15,000, which they even will not suffer to depart till the sti-
pulated payment has been made.
They have declared their determination, in the event of the French
employing force, to remove the Court to • Norway, and deliver up
Copeithogen to the English.' The Russians have entered Warsaw,
and the Emperor has declared his brother, Constantine, King ot
Poland.
GOTTINIURG, Feb. 9.—The Austrian Ambassador, Count Nup-
ping, passed lielsiigburg on Saturday last, on his way to Stockholm.
ELSI-NILla, Feb. 7. A n arrangement is likely to take place between

tween Denmark, Norway, and Russia, will be permitted by the

SW MR! DOCUMENTS.

The long expected rut ture between Sweden and France
is evidently now on the eve of taking place. The hosti!e
report of M D'ENG F RSTROM, of which we vve the sub-
stance, has been followed b 3 the pub'ication of the corre
spondeme which p►eceded the expulsion of the French
Charge d'Affaires, and of a mist remarkable speech of an
kour and a quarter, made by BUONAP ART E, in 1810, to
the Swedish Minister, in one of his paroxysms of rage
against Sweden for secretly tolerating our trade. This
speech, however, did not prove unavailing, as it was fol-
lowed by the compliance of the Swedish Government at the
time, who instantly declared War against us. These interest-
ing documents will be found in another part of our Paper.

Mr. COCHRANE JOHNSTONE'S motion respecting the
PRINCESS of WAL ES, which ,s post;.oneel to Thursda next,
Las L!'en stated to consist of the folkwing resolution :

" That informations, amounting, to a charge of flub Treason, Jinve
been sworn before competent Jurisdictions, 'tamely, Jristic..s of the
reare aild Privy Councillors, and tb?t the discharge, B,,rinutal, or
disbelief, has been pronounced by an incompetent jurisdirtion, un-
known to the British C-noitution, however respectable iit itself ;
namely, by a Committee of Ptivy. Cutmcillors, secretly u)cotbled by
Abe Knifes cotnmand."
There was a report current yesterday, that a treaty for
an el:change of prisoners between this country and France
was jai? state of forwardness. We trust, however, that Mi-
nisters
not recede one tittle from the terms which they
I
before propcsed : those were favourable enough to the enemy
and his prestnt want of men should not abate our puncti-
liousness as to tbe conditions on which we give them up.

American papers have reached town to the 9.Bth
learn from them that the United states army is in a most
deplorable state; the deaths amongst the troops under Gen.
DEA RBORN, were 130. daily, and in a stilkgreater proportion
in other situations. Even in the barracks, the troops, from
being-crowded together, had not escaped the infection.

DISPATCEID3 FROM LORD CATHCART.

The news of the week has been equally gratifying and im-
portant. The contents of the Gottenburgli Mails which
have been received, and the Letters of Lord Cathcart which
we have given at length from last night's Go:rtte, will be
pel'US-Cd with the highest satisfaction, and the picture of
bortor and desolation which they furnish, while it calls ho-
. .

inanity to shudder, must make reason rejoice in the over-
whelming destruction which has fallen on the instruments of
tyranny and BUONA PARTE.
From these documents, it appears, that instead of remain-
ing on the hanks of the Niemen as the French would have us
believe, the Russians have not only become masters of Memel
and Konigsberg (having taken in the latter place 1,300 pri-
&-;nels and 8,000 sick), but they have occupied .Klbing,
blarienberg, and Marienwerder, and crossed the Vistula in
great force. No mention is made of Dantzic having been
invested in these accounts which come down as late as Jan.
Both, but from the inability of • the remains of the French
army, to offer any effectual resistance to the adivancing. Rus-
sians, and from the statement made by Lord CATHCART
that the garrison of Dantiic could not amount to more than
balf sfrLat it ought to be, little doubt can be entertained of
