from the list'of independent ['ewers !
France now triumphs on the Continent of Fatrope

After all is said that can be said, as to the abstraCt
right, iu questions which may now be, at-issue ;be7
tween us and Great Britain, the course to be pur-;,

situation, to establish rights in opposition to the
naval superiority of the English.
We must be plain :-.-we cannot consider that man
who says, engage in a ',tapeless contest, even though
he may have suffered an injury, as. better -than
madman. But it is said, did we not gain.onrjride-

did; and it: we could persuade Englaild to .settle- the
