it stood in need of the co-operation of the Continen•
tai Powers,./or is felt itself strong enough to make'
War against Vrvce without their assistance. In the;
first case, it is evident that, it has lost- the advantage
it mi;ht have hoped from it ; that it i 3 in a situa-
tion less' forn'ildable at this day than it was, at the
period of the treacherous rupture- of the. Treaty of
Amiens ; and that Without an unexampled mode-
ration on the part of the vanquiSher, itcannot 'hope
for the same conditiOns. In the second case, it:
gives a very" miserable idea Of its policy to have.
drawn 'so' gratuitously to their ruin Allies whom it.
should now,declare it could have tone without. . It-
, is an' arduous task to disenaage one's self from
,the.
emharrassment of stich a dilemma.

Thus; to sum up'all, whilst France is going to
exhibitthroughouf the whole extent of her Empire
the piaure of profound Peace, to enjoy the fruit's of
viaory, rf 'cultivation, of tbe'arts; and of the de-,
of iniiustry,'England present the
speaacle of a. kingdom
.a prey,to.diyisions, to Con-
tinnal terrors, and to the scourge of .'"War in,opposi-,
tion to the prosperity .Which is peafiar to it,. 'A-
hundred and fifty thousand mon 'k.vays ready' to
carry the French Eagles to the Britith: shores, will
keep UP' alarm there, 'and will .necessitate means
of defence WhiCh will complete her ruin. The
habit of fear will not remove the danger. What-
ever maybe the Military plan about to spring from
the head .of • MEWii,tnnAm, if wlll not give the
English-Armies what has made of their Enemies
• the best Soldiers in Europe. It is the habit of Corn-
I: bats which stuakes ,warriors : if an. insular position
Make& Seatnen and MerchAtits through necessity, it
forbids them to aspire to the renown of a warlike
I! People."
