this crisis, declares, ;is historical facts, that

| marching his troops to tine principalitics,
| England had firmly protested he would not
have taken that step: and that if she had
protested against Napoleon undertaking
| this war. in the same manner, he would not
| have commenced it. Sir Henry, therefore,
| deprecates the ministerial policy OF waiting
for good opportunities, which may never
arrive.

of the defenses OF Paris, which the Germans
