plte I to
:the Battle of tille:lBlb,'iliste,att of die fin.
ta;tirat appellation of La Belle Alliance; Such
Victory shOuld itninorealize the Ol!seurc•F,t spot,
and not seek for a cognomen piece of
Gallic frippery in the langaage oldie beaten Toe.

* When we can tranquillize our triumph, and-
soften the blaze of Vi"Ctory which now hilrsts upon
our eye, a pause will offer itself for reflection.—
Consequences almost too vast, to he calculated,
prospects.almUst too glorious to be contemplated,
afford, even in the finite view which our limitary
understauding can reacit, abundant sources of
exultation. Our confidence in,the great Leader,
in the Ministers who recommended him, and in
the Sovereign by whom he was chosen, should be
as expansive as the triumph which he has achieVed;
and narrower only than our gratitude to the. good
Providence, whose favour inspires our Councils
and strengthens our arms.
There ace, however, other modes of displaying
that confidence and that gralittule; than Illumi-
nations and Thanksgivings—testimonies indis-•
pensahly, due,..but not our sole duties. We must
prove our sense Of the past by those exertions for
the tOtur'e,
,which can alone confirm our present
secur:ty, We should, indeed, have cause to la-
ment, it?. high pnrchase, if our new Laurel is to
he the shade for repose, instead! of the signal for
activity. Triumph must not degenerate into in-
dolence: and if we -have not sufficient nerve—
thiuk•the Romans call it stoicism"—to dis-
tinguish the victory from the carnage, we must at
least take care that the carnage he not doubly to
he deplored-in our misuse of the victory. Ile
first blow has been struck ;—and it we arc deter-
mined to sleep upon the exertion, it may 'he the
last ;—but it will be the last, if we shew ourselves
reads to strike, a second. The blood which has
flowed rests on his head whose perfidy renewed the
war : but if our inactivity shall occasion its farther
waste, the dreadful penalty also on those
heartless calculators who are prepared to catch
alike at- victory and defeat for paralyzing our ex-
ertions.—We have conquered—therefore we must
make the conquest profitable. Had we been de-
feated, therefore we must have made the defeat
nugatory.—Sad, indeed., and ruinous' will be the
triumph, if it slackens our energy !—Woe to
Britain, if she makes of her.glory use so inglo-
rious ! Oi her fortune, use so unfortunate !—Of
her power, use so. impotent !
The Nation has again given her solemn Thanki
to Wzt.t.txdroN. The pliant modesty of her
Soldier will answer with CoatoLANus.—" I have
done as you have done ;—that is, whey- I can."—
Let then her t haiak 3 he accompanied with the
proof which the Hero will most desire : let us
arm hint with our renovated energy : let us give
ail our strength, all our resources, to that final
blow, which will lay our restless enemy at rest
for ever.—" I have done as you have-done ;
that is, what 1 can."—May we always maintain
our share in this high merit I—lf Britain does not
do all she can, VI-ELLINGTON can do nothing
more :—but- if Britain still does al she can, so
wi:l her Chatnpion.—And Who -shall set a boundary
to his spirit or to his power ?

These remarks froth our invaluable Correspondent, front
whose pen we lejie lately presented several Essays to the
Public, were prepared for SuN of Saturday. "The
rapid march of events.' excluded them from priblicatioa till
this day—but as general arguments are applicable to all
times, these are still, from their ability, well aurth the at-
tention of the Country.-

The America:: Government has sent one STlR-
ikon against Algirs, and another is in great for-
wardness, which will be dispatched-on th,e same
service"as soon as the vessels are ready.—lt is
sad, that the port of Lisbon has been wholly
bockinled by the vessels of these marauders, who
are the pest of all civilised nations.
