or Want OF Valour in the Amy that op-

What Ply is it then that the rich and ro-
pulous City Of PS;IaatlOLia fhould fall into
the Enemy's Hands. or that we ihould not
lay hold Of the Opportunity Of deGrcyirg
their prin cipal Army now removed from The
Ships of Var, in which their greater Strength
lies.
1t i, certainly needless to multiply Ar
guments in iu.h a Situation Al lha, is
valuable to US as Men and Fieemen is at
Stake. 1t does not admit of Queilion, what
would be Tic Efea of our finally failing.

full of tiftss, Exclamation ard Exhortaticn,
may be cconGdered as one Of the dying Groans
,f Rebellion and, cor rGdering it in this
Light, there is lefs Room TO be iurprized at
he Panic and lneonGteney, which appear
hrcughout the whole. The only Thing I
o be wondered at. is the Audaeiiy of Fali-
