All England 'is in agitation, in consequencd of
an Article which appeared in. the journal of
burgh. Thie sagacity of the 'Writers of London. has
led them to consider it as a great Affair of State,::...
They consider it as a Manifesto written by the hand
of BONAPARTI himself, as if the First Consul had
nothing more important to do than the Journalists.
This ridiculous assertion will only have weight with
those who neither know the duties of a Statesman,
nor the charader of the First. Coniul. He would
scarcely have time to write all which these Gentle.
men attribute to him.

On examining this Article, against which the
Writers of London have exclaimed so loudly, only
,because it unmasks and exposes the had faith of
E*g/and, far from considering it as a Manifesto,
tcti should look upon it rather as a just representatiOn
of the disastrous projects of the Party who wish to
draw Great Britain again into a War, The best
answer to this pretended Manifesto would be, to
prove that the British Government was sincerely de.
termined to adhere to its Treaties, and to perform its.

France that can be supposed to wish to renew
the War, while the remains of her Marine are
abroad, and while she has so much occasion for
Peace to restore her Manufactures, her Colonies,
and her Marine, to their ancient splendour.
It
requires only common sense to see this. ....But

much less to fear than those who provoke it ; and
