of the Prussian King to Fr:n►ce as any other than an act of the
most outrageous premin►ption and madness: and no one examined
the details of the campaign in which Bonaparte N% as checked, tit
considered the character of Alexander, hut was convinced that
the weather and not the Rwsians were the conqueror's, and that,
on any reverse of fortune, the feeble .Alexander would throst•
himself upon the mercy of the enemy. The landing of twenty
or thirty thousand British troops, to co-operate With allies, who
had no cordial feelim:s towards ns, and to combat the vastly su-
perior armaments of Bonaparte, could only have added to the
miserable Catningur of disastets which our continental ex pedli-
h:tve hr►n;;ht upon this Itatien.

But our highest and most wianswerable reply to Alexander,
Ponaparte, and The Montirse I-, that Britain Ivas waking
greater and more efficacious efroTtl a,gannt the ecnimon enemy,
than all her allies together. Britain lvas, at the time alluded
to, putting forth all her strength, besieging and harra•sing
France with R naval armament of immense expcnce, carrying on
hoard at least a hundred and fifty thousand men ; she had de-
prived the enemy of his large foreign posAessions; she had al-
most entirely annihilated his Commerce ; and land driven his
navy from the seas; she had cut off front him the tnost krtile
snurces of revenue; and had thwarted Bonaparte ir► the most
favourite objects of his ambition--..ships, commerce, and colo-
nies. What proportion do the efforts of Prussia or Russia bear
to these amazing exertions, either in expellee, in magbitudr, or
in efficacy ? And Britain is reproached for not co-operating
with her allies ! What will The Morning Post say to these
facts, which place its unpatriotic statements in the basest
light ?
