Ing is an extract:
"oar ports are free; our fleet will strike
boldly in the North and Baltic seas; our

our credit good, and there can be no COM
parison of our finances with those of the
enemy. Prussia looked for treachery and
encouragement here, and universally
wonders at the promptitude of the nation
in arming and organizing, and under
stands by this time that the more the
struggle is prolonged the better is cur
situation. Our resources in men and
money are inexhaustible. Though in
yaded, France arms the entire, nation.
The neutral powers remain friendly, but
comprehend that there cannot now be q
question of mediation"

inclined 70 yield on the ground Of hu-
manity, but finally declined. D q EcH
