tititatiteteoni the Oppositioh Papers, \v &spair not
of seeing a fabrication from flu; Tlntillerles that shall

rival the present in ingenuity, and, perhaps, in justice !
Sweden alone will then remain (thr Portugal, we
regret to say It, is 'no more) ; and we cannot but feel
for that gallant Nation, and her noble and high-
, spirited Sovereign, when we retie& that she will
probably be obliged to take part againSt us, by those
I Armies which, directed by a common portion of
honesty and good sense, might have effeqed the
dowiitiil of the Corsican, and the deliverance of the
Iworld.

Let not our .Readers imagine that we seek' to
alarm them by this display of _the,- Powers in array
against us.—Far different are our views ; we have
placed the picture in the strongest light, only.that•
they may contemplate it without terror :.,and when

they consider, with Us) -that this addition (sinee.the
judicious disablement of Denmark) is more in,nurn;•
ber than weight, they may probably regard with
some complacency what they lately trembled to
approach. • •
For ourselves, on whom the Whinings' and the I
clamours of disaffe&ion are equally lost,, we eannnt
but indulge a degree of pride at the thought of be-
ing born Britons., We.see the country. which Buo
24A PAitTE, in the height of his fire-new- fortune;
insolently declared "'unable, to- cope-With - France
alone," deserted or 'betrayed by Ouse whom she
struggled to saye, and menaced by the united forces
of the world; we see that country planned—
nothing .dejeaed, relying with tranquil confidence on
the justice of her cause, the skill and,bravery of hpr
Fleet; and Armies, and above all, the integen'y,.pra.,
deuce and vigour Of her Government; for a termina-
tion which shall dignify resistance,- and. blend her
security with herglory! We cannot conceal it froin
ourselves, that England presents) at this Moment, a
sublime and striking spectacle - to the trembling na-
tions of Europe. They' have' long looked with fear-
ful curiosity, not, perhaps, without a mixture of
satisfaction, at her overthrow:. on the gut ession of '
mitt) new gnemy',, their .expeaations.havo ti-ech it ,
vigorated ; and now. that the last formidable Power
on the Continent leas madly joined the league against
us, they behold •her with an astonishment which
every hour increases, Steadily puriuing her ordinary
course, and, mighty in her own..resour,ces, scarcely
affected` by those combined., shocks, of whiCh the
slightest was supposed to be suffiCiently powerful to
convulse the Island to its center!

This is a state in which we never before stood, in .
which lip C4mutrY •ver .dared lc, stand ; and in
which, if we prove faithful to
.ourselves, we shall
acquire a wreath Id Ilium that wilt finitrish,to the
latest titnes,! Our lot is cast tar below ambition ';
but we frankly declare, that: We cannot recolleat, in
the varied annals of the world,, a name of which a
Statesman Might be so justly proud, star ion 'of
which he 'night be, so nobly it?oVetons, as that of a
Minister of Great WINO at this ntementous period.
—lt has its difficulties and it dangers, but such
only tis aro capable of inti.aining the generous
passions of a lofty .who looks to the
safely and glory
,of his Country as a parathount
objeki,; and 'to
,the applause of a grateful posterity as
biz.• great:reward. Tate, we: are luily perstiaded,
the 'present Administration will' obtain .; and, ages
after thts.," envious how cif 'their opponents
.have ceasedledannoy, will the orb of :their limi4
continue, with increasing bright ne93, to attrad the
