Several days lag week, during the fine weather,
our off chore fquadron by Breit could approach the
outer road near enough to count, without the affift•
ance of glaffes, the number of (hips at anchor there,
which amounted in the whole to feventeen flips of
the line, four three deckers, nine frigates, and eleven
cutters, or other fmall armed veffels. On hoard of
tome were obfcrved land troops, who teemed bufy in

who, betides, are every day exercifing the guns.—
Mont of the (hips teemed in a Rate of preparation to

In proportion as the folemn hour approaches, which

yen devoted brood of modern Gauls, we Ihould ex-
clude from our minds every felfith confideration, and
elevate ourfelves to the magnitude of the conteft, and
the glorious goodnefs of our cattle. Deeply impref-

Inset our gothic(' invaders, with that noble fpirit of

name we have never blafphemed, and whole wor-
!hip we have not converted into a pretext for poli-
tical opp}efllon, we fhall derive ftrength from the
power of freedom, and o►tain vietory from the force
of virtue.

Never in the annals of mankind, has a more glo-
rious profpee opened upon the patient foititnsle of a
kayal and united empire. Every circumflance that
ban tranfpired, augments Our well-Founded hopes of
final fuccefs--nothiog has yet intervened to cad a
blight upon their ludre. We know stir dangers, and
the fate of the vanquilhed is before our eyes. Before
the revolutionary war of France, the urbanity of po-
filled nations had extended its influence even to the
praaice of war; and that barbarous art, Infused by
its humane fpirit, reared to be fo deftrueive. Secure,
in every event, of perfonal liberty. the refifiance of
the conquered was left obtlinate, and the triumph of
the vieor lets creel. But thofe healing days of con-
folation in the mida of public calamities, hate paired
away; and mercilefs wretches railed froth the filth
of a corrupted fociety, 'and nurtured by murder, ra-
pine, and defolatiou, are now Peen, clothed in impe-
tial purple, and (!rutting upon the agitated theatre
of human affairs, as if they were born to be the lords
of human kind. Aping the dignified intcreourfe
among the seat, as monkies imitate the manners of
Wok, they unfortunately potefs all the mifchierons
propenfities natural to that brutifli tribe of animals.*

Scan imperial bacon thinks and aBs in the fpirit of
a drunken canibitl. His councillors and dependants
are no better than furbelowed jeers, collard to
mock, inipofe upon, and torment mankind, in the
&ape of fenators and Ratermen. The armies have
imbibed their principles from fuch malleri; and their
sonde& mull in every refpee correfpond with their
principles. On that fide of the channel, every thing
finis tb confpire spina the bappinefs of Man—on
this, whatever exalt* his nature, is habitually prac-
tiled. From fuch chieftains, and fuch legions, the
whole civilized world may well turn afide. The
contemplation of their &wafter, is of itfelf enough
to petrify the foul with horror. From them, the
centred of our manners has nothing to taped on
the ground of mercy; againd them, therefore, we
muft point the exterminating (word of judice. Be-
fore Alexander became *Macedonia's madman," he
bad avenged the infulted liberties of Greece, and made
himfelf mailer of the world, by a fuccetlion of fplen-
did viaories, accompanied by the moll beneficent
nas of humanity. The cardinal virtues followed in
the train of villory, and the fhouts of conqued were
fucceeded by the Tongs of peace. Subverted nations
in extolling the praifes of the visor, acknowledged,
at the fame time, his clemency ; even-handed juflice
difpenfed her enlightened edies upon the conquerors
and the conquered ; and the people of Afia, under
the domination of a dranger. retained their ancient
cuftoms, and forgot their country in the charms of
uninterrupted tranquillity. During the darknefs of
the mind in refpea to divine things, the sdolatrous
adulation of the Pagan world to the perfon of Alex-
ander, may be accounted for. He who, in fo fhort a
(pace of time had defcribed filth a galaxy of brilliant
erploitr, who had wept becatn't the world was not
large enough to contain the view s of his ambition,
might have been tempted to pafs an impeflure on the
minds of the credulous Afiatics and Egyptians; and
though the pupil of Aritlotle, it is not impolLble
that he might have really believed himfelt the fon of
Jupiter Ammon. But in the ninteeoth century of

_ _

Although I have watched with a fcrutinizing eye,
all the motions of this Imperial Ape, lam utterly at
a lots how to reconcile his actions with any thing
human that lived before him. We have feen that
Alexander became Macedonia's madman," not
until he had made himfelf fovereign of the civilized
world; and that the allonifhing height to which he
had attained, might naturally have turned his bead.
But this non-defcript adventurer of Cornea plays the
madman before his work is half concluded. Alex-
ander had nothing left to perform, the Corfican has
every thing to do. He has yet to diflodge the world
itfelf from its firong foundations ; for who does not
perceive that, in fubduing us, my countrymen, he
inflantly becomes meter of mankind ? He is as fen-
fible of this, as we are, and therefore it is, that he
robs, cheats, bullies, and fwindles harmlefs commu-
nities, with whom he had no caufe of quarrel, in or-
der to collect fufficient means (of which his own ter-
ritoriesare de Ritute) to ranfack and devaftate the only
lend that is the objea of his dread, and confequently
of his hatred. Be vigilant, therefore, Rand to your
arms, and anticipate his inexorable fury, by ladle-
ing on him and his armed followers, a finifhiny,, an
exterminating blow.
The people of the United Empire are not timorous
and docile Afiaties, whom a compact legion of vete-
rans can drive before them as &cep to the daughter.
It is true, that he has endeavoured to inculcate this
perfuefion among his blood-thirty myrmidons, and
they do actually believe, that when they land upon
our thorn, the battalions of 6, fhopkeepers," as they
call us, which line them, will exhibit no other mo-
tions, but frgle and mannikin. If indeed, this rem-
fentation were jolt; if we be fo degenerated from the
charaaer and renown of our forefathers, it were bet-
ter at once to ground our arms, and fubmit with hu-
mility and contrition to the mercy of the fecret afraf-
fin. It were better to fall upon our knees, and implore
the pardon of an earthquake, than by looking at
its horrors with a manly countenance, tlrive to divert
its 'leas. But the afperfion is a foul calumny. We
will teach his willing Caves, that we are a people of
warriors; refolutely bent on victory, or death, rather
than forfeit one atom of that noble legacy of freedom
and equal laws, which our brave anceitors bequeath-
ed to us.

Behold before your eyes the mutilated or defaced
countries of Europe, fubjugated by the arms of the
tyrant, or paralyfed by his frauds! ALMIGIITY GOD
has hitherto laid bpen to our fences( this horrible pic-
ture of human diftrefs, and has wrought for our good
in flaming charaflers, the direful eonfequences of
temporizing policy, of difunion, of defpondency, and
of fubmiffion. Violence mull be refilled by violence,
and every blow received from the barbarous invader
muff be returned tenfold ; for the Corfican wages war
in the fpirit of fiercenefs and devaftation. He and
his ferocious hordes come avowedly to deftroy the
mind, as well as the body of Britain; to carry off
the moll valuable diets of its inhabitants; to drag
along multitudes of captives in chains; to wale all
before them with fire and (word, and then to return
in triumph to their native dens of fenfuality, and re-
gale themfelves with the tears and forrows of the
Ifland-empire. Chains and flavery have proved the
certain lot of the vanquifhed Continent—lmagina-
tion (lands aghaft, at the atrocities that are in fore
for ranquilled Britain. Our battles, therefore, mull
be fought with that obftinacy and deadly valour,
which the horror of fuch a fate is calculated to in-
fpire. The ftruggle is not only for our country, but
, for our lives.

The love of Liberty is as infeparable from our na-
ture as the life-blood that flows from the heart. It
is that imperifhable (park in the bofom of a Briton,
which accident may (mother, but which eternity
cannot extinguitb. ReedsNal, therefore, the genius
of the enemies with whom you have to fight. They
are the fame people of murderers over whofe fleets
and armies you have repeatedly triumphed. A
firuggle for Liberty no longer offers an apology for
their crimes. To freedom they have no pretentious,
for the whole of France is divided between tyrant►
and (lave'. It is in vain to look for, one folitary vir-
tue among men whole confciences have ceafed to ad-
monith, who have faces that cannot blufh, and hearts
that cannot feel. If there be any feature in particu-
lar, which exhibits the authority of the Corfican as
a more marked objet of deteflation, it is not that
the blood of man is continually flowing, but that the
moral elements which compofe his nature are dif-
folved. He has poifoned the very fountains of juf-
bee and focial order; his detetled duplicity fervcs
only to excite his paffion for fraud. Ruin and hap-
pincfs are feldom difpenfed by the fame hand, nor is
it likely any change of fyllem will be adopted by the
wretch, who openly bids defiance to all the received
laws and opinions of mankind.
A tame fubmiffion to ufurped power has been the
?malady of the French; while the tea of mankind,
from their difperfed fituations, their indolence, or in-
attention, and the oppofition of their palfions, feem
indifpofed to combine in refilling it with vigour.—
The tom of drhotifis were fyoua garde etre Apt ! Under
its torpid touch, the patriotifna of the Continent has
&rook, like the fenfitive plant, into a narrow com-
pels. It is confined to gaze on the tyrant's progrefs,
and to lido, with trembling acquickence, to the

oracles which he promulgates, in thunder and light.
ning, from Pandemonium. Unexampled crimes are
fanetified, and thofe who a few years sr, were cla-
morous for peraing in the lan ditch of their coun-
try, are making atonement for having been betrayed
into any appearance of virtue, by a quick return to
their natural character. Every province of Europe
is peopled with French (pies, informers, and afar's,
and every Court that gives admitfion to an Ambaf.
fador from the Corfican, receives into its bofem a
State Inquifitor, and a privileged Incendiary.
To us, therefore, is referred, and by us alone,
muff be atchieved the final deliverance of Europe.—
Amin the miferies of a falling world, we have dif-
played uncommon firmnefs, fecored great blcifings,
and preferred mighty interval!. The hour approaches
when all thefe will be either prottrated to the ground,
or fixed for ever on immoveable foundations. Let
the crafty tyrant perfuade his regimented varlets that
their pretence alone is futficient to difperfe our patriot
legions I—his fallacious afferent= will prove their
ruin ; confounded by the vigour and magnitude of
our refinance, they and their poficrity will tremble at
the name of Britain. Let him urge their rapacious
fouls with the lure of booty I—they will find that
what has been acquired by bonen induftry will be
maintained by danntlefs valour. Lct him mutter his
legions, and recapitulate the rolls of his thoufands
and tens of thoufands I—they will difcover too late
that they are our victims. It is now in our power
to give a terrible leffon to tyrants and to 'tyranny ;
and by our zeal, courage, patriotifm, and regulated
enthufiafm, to eclipfe the fame of the mon celebrated
free Bates of antiquity, and even to furpaf the deeds
of our renowned forefathers. The moment is at
hand, when the fpirit and fentiments which once ani•
mated all the departed heroes of the earth, should be
concentrated in every Britint foul. Of the iffue none
can doubt. We have yet one laurel to earn, at the
fight of which Glory itfelf will bluth with exulta-
tion over the days of Marathon, Salamis, and Platy.
