'f...v':)vernments are weak enotiglinot to rnake -these cal-
clial ions ; and not to see that a Nation, which has •
occasion cohift} Reiiiments to defend its Colonies, and
an iiundred and fifty thKisapci Sailors to prote& its
coin i•i..rce and maintain its squadrons, is incapable of.
any effoil in Continentaraffaits. Besides, these tine
•;,-.iie•a of England, when She wiShesio Sod 11C,
'Cabinets and form Coalitions, have .never been justi-
'ecl -by faas. Let uS.recal to, our recollealon what
Ministersdid at the-time of the First .COalition:: In-
stead* of employing' these Means, which appear_
powerful -anu fol'iiiidable in the mOuths of their
.Speakers,-. or their 'emissaries, -.the English attacked
St. Domingo, Porto Rico, GuadalouPe; Martinique,
and seemed , to have no' other anxietythin to
plunder the commerce of their friends as well
as their enemies. jii the Second- CoalitiOn they'
4went to •Egypt',' in place of fighting with their
dillies on the Plains of St. Domingo.' In the Third,',
• they went to the • Cape of Good flope 'instead of
throwing ten thousand men more into the Kingdorri
of Naples ; and When England aeled thus, no one
*on 'Say that she aaed ill,-for she could not a& other=
wise.- .As'she is obliged to pay Considerable sums to
her Allies, she has no other ineani of doing it' than*
by plundering the trade of other PowerS.
" The. English Nation is brave"; but it cannot be
denied that the. French I`,:-ation has also its warlik-e.
bent: The armies'of those two Countries must be in
proportion to their resPeCtive Populations; atilliPon
this basis it is clear, that the English Army can only
be to the French in the proportion of One to
three. Besides, to Fe serve this proportion, it would
be necessary that :England should abandonthetidea
of keeping up fifty Regiments. in both 'the Indies,'
and reduce, by one half, the hundred and fifty- thou-
satid sailors who are op bocit.a.her FleetS. But with
alf Mr. Fo.N.'s eloquence, he will find it ditii'cult to
, persuade the Bank, the` ndia Corniiatif, and the
Chancellor of the Exchequr, that this reduZlion of
Military Forte is a pod calculation." .

burgh, and Berlin, and one to London.

and which they Muni ihated ana ornamented 'with se-
veral appropriate inscriptions,: The King honoured
this token of, respe& With his.presenee for some
minutes, and 'was received with Ibud acclamations
of joy. On the' 1 tthinst, hiS:Majesty received the
Deputation froM the. French' Senate, when
as-
sured theta; that the Emperor had not done him'
greater honour in establishing him it.the bead of that
kingdom, than he • felt in the sentiments expressed
by the Senate ; that his new duties would never
rninish any prior 'obligation. He said he had found
in that great city many hearts glowing with the
purest 'patriotism, and that h© shoUld reward their
confidence in him ; and he, concluded with saying,':
". Tell the Emperor, that. though I am becoMe a
Neapolitan,'l shall neveriorget that I am a French-
man, and that I hope my people wilt not be the less
disposed to cherish the sentiments of respedt for the
Great Nation." •
