The great difficultyin this march Of Freedom
is tosawaken a proper spirit in the army
Austrian and Russian soldiers are galYanised
or petritied men. they know nothing beyond
obedience to orders, and for four pence per
day they march in solid columns to kill or lie

and some years of practise, her government
is unsettled, her people divided and she is too
far from the theatre Of operations. B England
can Protest, but can afford to do no more.---
