nected with the Danish expedition, partakes of its character. In the declaration promulgated by minifters on the 25th September, his Majesty declares, that he is not defirous, from any motive but the fecurity of his own dominions, or for any object of advantage or aggrandizement, to carry measures of hoftility beyond the limits of the neceffity which produced them.' This declaration correfponds entirely with the magnanimous difpofition of the Sovereign; and it certainly was the duty of minifters to have acted in conformity to it. But if that neceffity demanded that the Danish fleet fhould be removed out of the reach of Banaparte, it would have been at least natural to have declared openly our intention to restore them when the danger was at an end. Inftead, however, of being kept in depofite for that purpose, they are added to the British navy. Above all, what plea of ftate-neceffity, what law of self-prefervation, could call for the seizure and confifcation of three hundred and twenty merchant veffels, which, in the unfuspecting confidence of neutrality, were found in our ports immediately previous to the commencement of hoftilities? Of thefe veffels, many had been wrongfully brought in, and had been decreed by our courts to be restored. Yet, although we might have animadvèrted on this measure on another occafion, we are fenfible of its propriety on the prefent; and are perfectly ready to admit the harmonious compofition of the whole tranfaction, of which no incidental deviation into magnanimity disturbs the confiftency, or injures the general effect. In the perfon of Bonaparte, the fuccefs of unprincipled power is ftrongly exemplified. Yet we are far from measuring the amount of that power by the extent of the fuperficies over which his authority is felt. The minds of men are not bowed to the yoke. The elements of refiftance are not extinguished. From the lofs of civil occupations, a military fpirit is faft fpreading itfelf over the Continent; and, in the very cloud which blackens all our horizon, we may fee the bow which is fet for a token, that the tempeft will not be for ever. Whether this generation will live to fee the troubled waters fubfide, and the antient landmarks of the world reappear above the flood, is indeed more difficult to conjecture. But, whatever be the deftined means of our deliverance, we think we may fay with certainty, that it will not be accomplished by a coalition of Sovereigns: and that, if England is to have the fhare the might once have expected in this great redemption, it must be by reverting to her antient maxims,-by exhibiting a contraft, and not a counterpart, to the violence and selfishness of her enemy,-and by expiating the fatal and degrading error of which we have been fpeaking, by fome fignal act of generofity and forbearance.
