own, ideas upon other nations. If Franca is
•y we are content she should be so in her.own
, and desire n :thing but to see her great,' peaceful
prosperous.. Why, then, is France arming ?
nisy be that the peculiar form of government
hich Franco has seed fit to indulge necessitates
to increase of the army for purpose, of domestic '
reseion, and we would much rather believe it is
han suppose she is marshalling her forces fur
e ef.treign war ; but, if we grant that 'the army is
inc eased for the purpose of insuring domestic t ran-
qui: lity, on what ground are we to account for the
co esponeling and contenaperanemis aughiEhtetion
of or fleet ? The leery has alwa3s.beeu a favourite
for o in England, because, among other reasons, it
is force which cannot readily be used for the pur-
po aof coercing the people. In France the same
pri ciple must-apply, and we are at a loss-to know
fo what pacifiopurpose a large steam navy is being
pr pared.. France' has but few colonies, and those
of nconsi.aerble extent: She has no large foreign
co merce to protect, no refractory.lndie to recon-
qu r and reorganise.
.She has no•hing to fear front
a eecent on her coasts 'from any fOreisn Power.
W y, then, is France arming' and augmenting her
na y ?
We have a right to ask the question ; for, what-
' e4r be the enemy against whom the thunderbolt
ii forged, there is no doubt that those warlike pre-
parations in a time of profound peace tend to inflict
upon us, ier common. with the re,t of our neigh-
bours, many of the calamities and miseries of war.
Iflfrance will insist on increasing her armies and her
navies, she forces us, her neighbours and her allies,
tad° the same. We have too lunch at stake within
thisi little island of musics be content' to exist by the
permission and on the sufferance of any ally, how-
ever faithful, —of any foreign Prince, however, mag-
n nitrous. History warns us against incurring
t es fate of those nations who have trusted the
4
pOwer of the sword in other hands than those in
which they were content to trust their Leedom. If .
France is determined to arm we .must either be
cOetent to lie at her mercy or prePare to arm too.
Ii she increases her regular army, we can hardly do
lees than call out and embody our militia. If she
irJsists upon increasing her navy, she forces us most
unwillingly, from the barest considerations of pin-
dinice, to undergo the expense of a channel fleet.
11iis expenditure, which is not required for domes-
tic purposes, nor for the defence of 'our colonies,
nor for the reduction of the Indian rebAlion, is
p rely of the nature of a war expenditure in self-
(' fence, forced upon us by the threatening attitude

little openness and sincerity on the part of Eng-
land would be refreshing, were it only for their
novelty. We would, then, take the liberty respect-
fully to submit to the Emperor Napoleon that it
is the sincere wish of this country to be his good
friend and true ally ; that to this end we have -
made many -sacrifices, and are prepared to make
many more ; but he asks two much of us if he
