Every Englishman will feel the powerful appeal to his heart, which has been made to the Declaration of Russia, and, we trust, will shew that he feels it. This is not the first time that the little island has been left alone to chasten the overweening insolence and calumnies of France: and, whatever our forefathers accomplished, we trust their posterity, with such an example before them, and such ample resources in their possession, will not fail, with the blessing of Heaven, to do likewise.

And then, my masters, what signifies argufying and dealing out speeches a fathom long, when the boatswain pipes all hands, and whistles till his lungs are ready to crack?
