Let the European Powers feel as they pleafe with 1
refpeet to the ambition and aggrandifement of France, 1
with refped to the feizure of Parma and Placentia,
the atrocious violence ezercifed towards the Swifs, or
the oppreffion of the Batavian Republics. To us
their forbearance is fcarcely a mark of their good
policy or wifdom. Other Powers are certainly,
to fay the leak equally interefted with ourfelves—
but if other men are fo blind to their interek or fo
paralyzed by their fears, as quietly to fubmit to every

PLYMOUTH, May 26.—This morning arrived his
Majeßy's (tip Doais, of 36 guns, Capt. Pi/ARSON,
from a cruize, and brought in with her a very fine
French National lugger, called Leffronteur, of 14
long fix.pounders, and 92 men, commanded by
Monfieur LATOTS, Lieut. de Vaiffeau, which fhe
captured off Ufhant the azd inllant. The lugger
was Rationed between Breft and Ufhant, with in-
flrudions to cruize not more than fit leagues from
the latter place, for the purpofe of reconnoitering the
Britifh Fleet, and to make fuch obfervations as the
commander might deem neceffary, which were to be
communicated by fignal to a perfon Rationed at Man t
who was to repeat by fignal fuch communications to
a perfon Rationed near Breit. His orders were, not
to cruize for the purpofe of making captures, but at
the fame time not to allow any infult to be offered to
the National Flag without relenting it : however,
on the sad inflant, the Frenchman dilcovered the
Dom., and immediately gave chase, and it is
.faid
that they took her for one of their homeward-bound
St. Domingo fleet. Be this as it may, the ran up
under the quarter of the DORIS, and finding it not as
they fuppofed, fired three broadades into her, and

we iliouid willingly fhut our eyes to our own wrongs,
and fuffer the public mind to be unnerved by habi-
tual fubmilfion—the fure precurfor of ruin ? Of all
the curfes by which human nature is aflliaed, there
is none fo pregnant with mifchief as the pail-lon for
univerfal dominion. If fuccefsful, it is fatal to the
liberty and happinefs ; if unfoccefsful, to the peace
of mankind. If fuch a paffion was criminal, and
worthy of being refilled in the perfon of the Four-
teenth Louts, is it virtuous and commendable in
BONAPARTI ? That fuch was the paffion, fuch the
views of the Fiasv Cowsus of France, we have no
fear but we thall be able fatisfalorily to prove.—But
