Sta..-Allow me to infert your valuable Paper,
an exprellion cf (inure eong: atulation to the Briar
Public, on the zeal which has gone abroad to perpe-
tuate the glory of our late vielory by fea, as well as
the gratitude of the prefent generation to the Hero
under whom it was obtained. The ereetion of naval
pillars, in this miffrefs•ifland of the ocean, is juitiried
by the glory of our atchievements, and the neceffity of
holding out to our children's children, that 'lkons
mutt never ceafe to be invincible on the ocean. When
the prefent generation Shall have pa Ted away, let
poflerity tell, with exulting and grateful hearts, to
" the (hanger and traveller, thofe pillars were conk.
" crated by our fathers, as emblems of thofe heroic
" men whofe virtues were the pillars of their country."
Such fentirnents and proceedings are worthy of
Britons ; but, I.hope you will not think it favour,
of the bath(); in compofition, to conclude this eulogy
on my country's honours, by Acing if you or any of
your Correlpondents can inform the Public, what is
become of the money fubfcribed, a few years ago,
for the grand National Naval Pillar (a fum amount-
ing to feveral pound:. ?)—The money has been long
ago given by the Subfelibers, and, as one of that
number, I with to know in what part of the Britilh
Empire this Pillar has made its appearance—or,
whether the Subferibeis may be favoured with either
a fight of the Pillar, or the Money they fubfcribed for
its ? I am, your's, refpeftfully,
