INDISPENSABLE interests. And if, after our
success, we have displayed an sxtraordi-
nary moderation, to what other source can
this moderation be imputed than to the
;ustice Of our cause, and the conviction OF
our force
The undersigned, in laying before ms
Excellrncy, Lord Whitworth, these OBJ
seryat,ons, conceives himself authorised IN
making the remark, that the moderate
conduct Of the whole of the French ADJ
-ministration, during two entire months
which constitute one series OF provocation
and offence, and notwithstanding the
deep impression which such Conduct cso-
not fail to make, ought to cause hln 70
appreciate the real character OF the french
government. Yet uader all these circun'-
stances, at the very time, that, N conse-
quence OF its profound silence alter re

tigate the means, which were capable OF
being proposed, in order to conclllate and
satisfy the English government; at this
ve,y time, and under these peculiar CIR.

feeble that in circumstances, where points
ofrhe utmof importance are under conil-
deration il does not think itielf bound to

civilized Nations
Or is it not rather, that the Sentiment
of ipjuaice, which, weighs upon the con-
lc;ence of public, as we'll as upon that OF
Private Man, has prevented the Rritiih
Government from Ggning the demand
which is made, and that it has endeayor-
