him, and must be reviving to the heart of an old soldier.
Marshal Soursr placed his hand upon his heart in acknow-

most cordial and flattering reception in every part of Eng-
land, and he should not fail to report to his Sovereign, the

Otway had welcomed him at Sheerness. He hoped that
Dace and filendship would be hereafter cultivated between
tng;and and France ; that all rivalry, except the generous
rivalry of two friendly Powers in the arts of peace would
ease, and he felt much pleasure in drinking the health of
all the Naval and Military Officers present.—(Cheers.)
