PEACE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMLuICA.

[coNcLunEn MOM MONO.XY'S
Thus have we before us the %railings of the sons
and daughters of corruption. There is, you per-
ceive, one reigning fallacy in all those attacks on
the peace; that is, it is all along presumed, and
taken for granted, that our situation, with regard to
America, would have become every day better and
better, if the war had been continued. New, so
far from this being any thing like certain, it was not
even probable, and %%as barely possible. The chances
were all on the other side; the Republicans had not
only resisted, but had repulsed, the onset ; they had
followed up their blows with astonishing rapidity ;
and even at the moment when the conclusion cif the
peace was announced, intelligence came to hand that
they had just driven our army and fleet from Pensa-
cola, a main hold, whence our next attack was in-
tended to have been made.

"If," says this trumpet of corruption (the Times),
" our navy had struck some great blow ; if we had
done" this, and done that, and done the other, then
we might have made peace. But r:f we could do
none of these: if we had failed in all our attempts ;
it 'Aphid lost still more frigates and tleetys hat would
then base been our situation ? maliguant
wretches are senseless with rage. They are savage
at the loss of their prey. You, who are an old
hunter of wild beasts, may have seen something in
the conduct of disappointed bears or wolves resem-
bling that of these foes of freedom, who are now
looking towards America, foaming with rage and
roaring for revenge.
It is impossible not to feel great satisfaction at
seeing the murderous wishes of these men disappoint-
ed. But our satisfaction ought by no means to rest
here. The great question with regard to the excel-
lettee of really free Government has now been de-
cided in a way that must inevitably produce conviction
throughout the whole world. The fate of the Repub-
lic of France had excited great doubts in the minds of
men, disposed to cherish liberty, as to the capabili-
ty of that sort of Government to be carried on in
practice for any length of time, especially if it had
to contend with the difficulties and dangers of war.
—The enemies of liberty delighted in representing
real freedom as incompatible with national defence
and independence. IVhen reminded of the Govern-
ment of America, they smiled, and observed, that
it might do very well as long as America remained at
peace : but that her first year of war would crumble
it into dust, and expose to the mockery of the world
the vain theorists who had extolled it. In short,
this was the point always laboured at :—That for a
nation to be able to defend itself ill time of war
against a formidable enemy, it must have an almost
despotic Goverinneut and a standing army, with all
their retinue.

zealously, and co ably maintained the contrary, re-
