abandonment Of expeditions on which was
based their chief hope of success in eFecting

we are still confronted by powerful armies
aud threatened by numerous fleets, and that
the Government that controls these fleets
aud armies is driven to most desperate efforts

danger it appeals to the never failing patriot
