PEACE ACZUISITIONS.

to the Weft of SuRINAI. It was indeed the bdt
policy of the Dutch to furrender them to us when
they did. We have made them four times more
rich and produdive than they were, having, a;
we before mentioned, laid out above nine millicn,
fterling in improving and purchafinz. Britith
merchants, however, took it for granted that, it
France was fulrered to aggrandize hetfelf fu

quered Settlements. One merchant in London
has, accordingly, laid out go,oool. in Dcmarara.
Knowing how eafily Britith negnei4tors make
conceflions at a Peace, in order, if not to acquirz
intionstity for tt,e pafi, at leaa, to obtain ficurity for
Ike firturc, by diminifhing the objens of defence,
our enemies may find their account in permitting
us to improve their colonies.

We have ftrong reafons for believing, that had
we retained MALTA, a poll, which we !Fall nct
foott rcgiin, we might have fecured a long conti.
nuance of Peace. We lhould have commanded a
trade to Turkey, and fecured the dominions of
the Porte from the open machinations of the
French, who would not have diflurbed the repofe
of this country, well knowing that, from the
breaking out of a War, our naval force at Malta
could with perfeet fecurity cut them off at once
from 41 connexion with the Levant.

Some of our correil,ondents, recolle&ing the
fchemes of France, in the year 1784., as Rated hy
the Marquis de 13ouit.t.f, to deprive us of onr
Eaft India poireffions, are of opinion that tht•
French will foon avail thernielves of the pro-
digious acceffion of uncontroulable power, f:
cured to them by the confequences of the War;
and many are of opinion, that we have facrificed
our eliftence to our finances ; and that we Mail
loon be called upon to fight for the former again i
the power, which we ourfelves have contributed
to raife.

It may, however, be obferved, that this reafor.
ing can only be allowed its full force, by an ad.
miffion'that the French Revolution it terminated. E 4
that it is, may be queflioned. There is, indeed. a
prefent calm, but it dots not follow that the bur.
ricane fcafon is over ! There may yet he much
blood flied in France ; for the qtruirs 4 the Clair.l
have attraEtcd the notice of the FIRST CONSUL!

It is afferted that Mr. Firr had a principal :hare
