This will necessarily lead us to a long History of the Disappointments he met with: 1. In his Project of charging and impeaching his General, and the great Testador, or ---- of the Nations Treasure, which he could never, either bring Crime enough to justifie, or Friends enough to joyn in, and make it terrible. 2. How he was disappointed in his ambitious Views of being made General against the _Tartarians_; whereas, he had on the contrary, the Mortification, to see the great Commander continu'd, with an addition of Generallissimo to his Titles of Command; and himself, like what we used to call in _England_, being _Kick'd up Stairs_, sent out of the Way with a Feather in his Cap, and the Title of General, to carry on a remote Unfortunate, and never-to-be Successful War in _Japan_, and the Lord knows where, among Barbarians and Savages. * * * * * This was not all; When upon his embracing this Title, which his Temper (naturally Ambitious) jumpt at, and eagerly closed with, he began to choose Officers, name Regiments, and draw out Forces to form the Army he was to Command, he found the new Generalissimo had supplanted him there too; for he had not only prevailed with the Queen of the Country, not to draw away any of the old Troops then establish'd for the _Tartarian_ War, of which this _Gew-Gaw-General_ fancied to himself he should form his Army: But the Generalissimo obtain'd, That the best Troops which were remaining in _Atalantis Major_, should be sent over to strengthen the Army against the _Tartars_: So that this new General was likely to go away to _Japan_ without any Army, but such Troops as her _Atalantic_ Majesty and Her Allies had hired from the _Emperor of China_, and such other People; and he had none but Strangers, Barbarians and Mercenaries to Command. It is true, That his Design of drawing off the Troops from the _Tartarian_ War, to carry on a _Wild-Goose War_ in the remotest Parts of _Japan_, was like the rest of his Schemes, so inconsistent, so destructive to the general Design of the War, and would in all its probable Circumstances be so dangerous to the true Interest of _Atalantis Major_, That notwithstanding some had persuaded the Government to a _New Scheme_, and that the War was to be pushed on _ESPECIALLY_ in _Japan_ (a Thing which perhaps some encouraged at first, on purpose to draw him in to accept of that Command, which many of inferiour Rank to him had declin'd) yet when they came to look nearer into the Thing, and to see the fatal Prospect of weakning the Forces on the _Tartarian_ side, while the _Emperor of Tartary_ at the same Time was vigilant and forward in encreasing his Preparations, they soon found the Representations of the Generalissimo had such Weight in them, and were founded so much upon their general Good, that they thought fit to alter their Measures.
