BURN AND DESTROY.

1t is fact, which ought to be known. and
which can be proved. that since the Peace of
Client, Mr. ABBOTT, the Speaker of the United
Parliament of Great Britain and ireland, has. ar
3nr1Oerp, unreservedly declared IN a mixed
company, g that lie Ministers OF Great Britain
had de, ermined IN the event OF another war with
he United States to conduct II entirely different
from those which have hitherto been waged.
In such circumstances, SAID Mr. Abbott. we
should send an army Of 40, 600 men, with such a
tram of artillery, such fre-sblps, bombs and roc
kets. as would enable 1t 20 destroy all the prin-
cIpa, towns on the sedb ard A. the obiect of
this army would be I burn and not capture or
conquer, It would move with as much ce er,ty
as possible"
THE similarity between this language and that
OF Sir GeHrge Provost and Admiral Cochrane.
and other British officers at the close Of 1914,
would entltle 1t to credit Blu, ii does not re 8,
upon such evidence The declaration of Nh.
Abbott was made IN the hearing of al least ONE
American now IN this city.
