ROBERT WALPOLE, Was the government
al Cired, Britain less DESTROYS of courting
the Slories and the dangers Of war than
al the present moment. Happily no
occasion offers itself which in the present
stale Of this country could Justify ii
renewal OF bosiilities IN, such is our
financial condition, aud such the exliaus
ton OF our resources, HAT to;. 'gn powers

their misconduct. Time was when the
savage murder of two British subjects
by a foreign Generalwould not have been
passed by with indifference. [Giobe.

cause of FERDINAND; but il such u
transaction had taken place, we cannot
conceive amy good reason for lis cOnceal-

whatever dissatisfaction may have been
excited by the cession OF Florida 10 The
