this country under an idea that it was to contribute

that the Tax meant to be impofed was not a tax
upon Funds, but upon B.itilk(and not foreign) pro-

It Is impolrable for Wm not to regret that our (bort campaign
has terminated in a manner fo little eonfonant to his willies. al-
though It ha• proceeded trom eaufes in which we were 09 ways
concerned. And he has not a doubt that evay Individual in the
army felt a regret at the appearance of quitting the field to the
enemy.

" In reporting his proceedings to his Majefty, the General has
taken the refpanthility of this rncafurc entirely on himClf. For
he Is aware that the army was well prepared to &charge their part
with cheerfulnefs and alacrity in any frrvice, however arduous, to
which he might have lcd them. The Ruffian forces had orders
from their Emperor to retire from the Continent of Italy: but he
had none that could dirci his conduel undcr a circumitance
which could not be forefeen.
For obvious talons the General cannot enter into any detail
of the motive on which his refolution was formed; though he
he happy that the army were convinced, that letting afide
confederations of great weight with refpedt to the intereft of Bri-
tain In the general condudt of the war, be was not left adtuated
In the meafurca he adopted by a regard for their credit, than he
was by that for their Islay."
