The &C defenders of the faith" alias the
rulers of the British empire, have been ell
logised as the only defence which the civil
lized world now has, against the dominion
Of Bonaparte, anG the.revival OF heathenish
inhdelity. We are tod that the represen-

mitted a deed of the blacklist dye, in de
clarinE war against the nation, which Islands
the champion of our religion" IF we could
be convinced that such an opinion originated
in ignorance, we should at the same time
pity the want of sense which suffered it To
exist. The most superficial knowledge of
the history of England teaches the reverse.
From whence have arisen nearly all the
wars Of Europe during the last century ;
From the pride, the ambition. tae intrirncs

Of conquest, the most shameful irtrirucs

government Of the devoted country refused
10 betray the people, the latter were insti-
gated to destroy their guardians. In Bri.
