of the once fermidable Char:bb-es; and

the guardian genius of Englifh liberty, aided 
by good fenfe, may juftify the colouring. 
Gigantic as the power of France appears to 
be, and dreadfully menacing under its pre-- 
‘fent guidance, old England can have little to 
apprehend, provided her firft magiftrate ftands 
aloof from the mifchievous councils of par- 
tial faétions, and her legiflative affemblies 
freer a fafe and fteady courfe between the 
war-hoop of a defperate junto, and the yield-

ufe a military phrafe, the whole camp thould 
not, certainly, be under arms, but the guar- 
ter and rear-guards, and the out-lying pic- 
quets fhould be upon the alert, Europe is in 
a ftate of war, notwithftanding the conclu- 
hon of the late war, and England, above all 
other countries, ought to be vigilant, if not 
jealous, and fufpicious, under the tremen- 
dous influence of herneighbour. Zranflator.
