Of ship TO ship. TWAS impossible to de-
wise plan of attack more promising we
venture 70 pronounce lord Nelson would
| have done the same-Lord 81. Vincent Gia
the same-Whea that illustrious man per-
,ce;ved the Spanish Aeetto windward, con-
.;,,;ro of twentv-seven sail of the line, he
Instantly cut of division of It, though ne
could not bring on general engagement
as the enemy, IN great rrepl6atlon, cnoss
rather to fly, than to succourany part OF
their souadroa. /" When | had reached
their rear,n says sir Robert, attacked the
SQUADRON in succession; this, brought me
close IN under their lee, and when oar head
mos, ships had reached their centre, the e.
nrmy were tacking 10 succession; this obli-
ged me again to make the same manGuvre,
By. which brought on an action OF tour
hours, when I found It necessary to bring
too the squadron, to secure the TWO caPtur-
ed ships"
Sir Robert then proceeds to observe,
which is perfect vindicatiou OF his not be-
ing able to do more, thatthe enemy had e.
very advantage of wind and weather; that
the fog was so great that he could scarcely
perceive the'ships ahead or astern OF him
this renderedit impossiblelto take adran-
,age of the enemy by proper signals !" had
the weather." he continues sheen more Ia
vorable, am led to believe, the victory
would have been more complete"
In many of the accounts VIC havs receiv.
ed, it positively stated, that the British
ships twice or thrice by mistake, fired into
each other, and that Eve OF the enc myswere
at once upon the Windsor. 1t is thus G.
vident tina. not above two or three ships
succeeded IN passing the line of the enemy
the rest were prevented by not percelvng
the signals and not knowing what impress
sion the Leading ships were making.
This is evident, from the circumstance
of some ships having suffered greatly, and
some tri0ingly the fact Is. The line ca
scarcely be said to have been cut at all; the
fleets indeed, passed each other upon OPP
posite tscks, bu, from the circumstances of
the weather and the signals not being no.
ticed, the British fleets we're never able g
form new line to leeward, or, in rs,Qr$
ing on the contrary tack, to rake the enc.
my as each ship passed Every advantage
therefore of cutting the line, in leeward
attack was los, to sir Robert Calder, be-
cause his ships could not act under his SUI
perntendance, or, with that unanlnity Of
attack which asone can lead to decisive VIC
tory, and which must ever depend or 3
aquick perception, and obedience Of sig
nails in each ship.
In respect to the admiral's terminating
the engagement, in order 10 cover the two
prizes, lieut.. Nicholson's account is more
satisfactory.
H says, "the two ships which had struck
were dropping fast to laeward, and the E
nemy bysa successful manoprr, u1tgh, east
ly have recovered possession OF taen, #
our squadron had not brought 90 in order
to cover them.''

I. On the subject of changing or altering
constitutions, and the danger which by
some is predicted, the committee cannot
better express their ideas, than by adopt
ing the language Of judge Wilson"
RI change of governments" said he, " has
been viewed as u desperate event, as an
! obieSl ofthe mos, terrific aspect because
IL has been thought that government could
not be changed without tearing up the We
! nv foundations of the social establishment.
IL has been supposed that in transition
from one government 10 another, the boz
dy making il must be dissolved that G.
very thing must be reduced to state of
nature and that The rights and obiiga,i-
ons OF the society must be lost and dis
charged.
" In many parts of the world, indeed,
the idea OF revolutions in government is
by mournfuf and indsso,uh,s association
connected ~ith the ideas OF wars, and of
all the calamities Incumbent on wars.
bnt Joyful experience teaches us in the
United States 10 viex them in a very diff
.terent and much more agreeable light, TO
consider Them only as progressive steps
III improving the knowledge OF govern

pie at tins time Nay be a. safely trusted
