courts Invested with the right OF pursuing

have brought together what was good In
the old and new system.
In nominating to the different Offices,

remained of the former parliamenss, and
whose age and knowledge qualify them

has called them TO it Of his own accord,

MARINE.
We have lost Guadalupe and the Isle
Of France. The wish to assist those CO.
lonies was rot so great as to cause us TO
risk eur fleets in their relative inferior
state. Since the re, union oil Holland,
that country has furnished us with ten
thousand sailors and thirteen ships OF the
line. We have considerable fleets III the
Sehe!dt, and at rOulon. Divisions Oh
ships of the line, more o. less strong, lie
in our different ports. and fifteen ships in
the docks Of Antwerp. Every thing is
arranged so as to add each year great
number OF vessels Of war to our fleet OF
the Schel;it. Two ships of the line are
building at Cherburg. and the supplies o.
timber and materials every sort are so
plentiful in that port, that we may have
five more Oh the stocks before the close
of the year 1914. Torrent, RoeheEort.
Toulon, have all their docks occupied
Numerous vessels are building at Venice.
According to treaty. Naples was this year
to have six ships Of the line and six fri
gates. That kingdom has not fulfilled
this engagcment.-The government oil
that country will be convinced of the ne
eessity Of repairing that failure. Our re-
sources. our interior navigation are sutfi-
cient TO raise the material part OF our ma
Wy, in few years, to the same degree OF
elevation, as that Of our enemies. Oar
experiments on the maratime consumption
have succeeded: the young men OF Is, Is
and 90 years Of age. put on board OF our
ships. show the best disposition and are
rapidly progressing. Tie frequent exaur-
sions Of our fleets. the coasting navigation
the eyolntioas of our sguadrOns anil fiotI-

our roads, have so Ear improved oHr young
eoascripts, as to excite the highest hopes.
WAR.
In one year, the greatest part OF the
stronger places in Spain have been taken
after se;yes which DO honor to the genius
and artillery of the French armies. More
than two hundred standards. eighty tiloGs-
and prisoners, and an hundred pieces oil
cannon, have been taken from the span
iards in several pitched battles. lhis
war was drawing TO close, when Eng
land. departing from her accustomed po
LEY. took the lead in the field. it IS Gil
sy 10 foresee the result OF this struggle, q
to comprehend all its consequences ON the
destinics of the world.
The popnlation OF England, Insufficient
for the occupation Of the two Indies A
merica, and many establishments III the
Mediterranean insufficient for the de-
fence of ireland and her own coasts; foi
her garrisons and immense fleets and iol
the loss Of men in an obstinate war sns-
tanned against France in the peninsula o.
Spain, leave many chances in our favor
ard England is placed between the run
of population if she persists in maia
taiains this war or shame ifshe abandon
it after having taken SO conspicuous
part.
