closer by ante, so much so, as to induce Mr.
Busrisson to visit Paris, with the hope of effect-

French Cabinet: 'Phis visit was Untoward and'
Mr. Husitisiatc retuiiied without, having accom-

into any contest, but under disadvantages al-
most ruinous to her ; and any extra expendi-
ture only opens the sources of these evils which

the fruits of those plans which the sagacity of the
administration has devised, and the wisdom of Par-
liament sanctioned, for receiving and augmenting
our resources, and imparting new energy to every
Member of time State.

Leagued together by compact, what nation

surd by England and France united, or dare to
disturb the peace, of Europe, .but at their good
will and pleasure.
