fatigued, and half starved, to that of the French, amounting to 50,000_; and did he not leave 10,000 of the enemy dead upon the field, and take 14,000 prisoners, with the loss of only 400 men? Have we not, within this century, to boast a MARLBOROUGH, who, (besides his other victories) at Blenheim slew 12,000 of the French, and made 14,000 Prisoners, _and in less than a month conquered 300 miles of Territory from the Enemy_? Did not the gallant WOLFE, in the year 1759, gain the Heights of Abraham with a handful of British Troops, and, afterwards, _defeat the whole French Army, and gain possession of all Canada, &c._? And are not the glories of our ABERCROMBY _and the Gallant_ ARMY _of_ EGYPT fresh in your minds? _An Army of 14,000 Britons, who landed in the face of upwards of 20,000 troops of France_, and drove from a country, with whose strongholds they were acquainted, and whose resources they knew how to apply, a host of Frenchmen, enured to the Climate, and Veterans in arms? _Did they not cut in pieces that vaunted Corps of Buonaparte’s, whose successes against other Powers had obtained for it the appellation of_ INVINCIBLE--And is not their Standard (all that is left of it) a trophy, at this moment, in our Capital? _The Briton fights for his Liberty and Rights_, the Frenchman fights for _Buonaparte_, who has robbed him of both! Which, then, in the nature of events, will be most zealous, most active, and most terrible in the Field of Battle? the independent supporter of his country’s cause, or the Slave who trembles lest the arms of his comrades should be turned against himself; who knows that his Leader, his General, his _Tyrant_, _did not hesitate, after having_ MURDERED _4,000 disarmed Turks, in cool blood, to_ POISON _300 of his own sick Soldiers, of men who had been fighting his battles of ambition, and been wounded in his defence_--English Soldiers will scarcely credit this, but it is on record, not to be doubted, never to be expunged. But more; read and blush for the depravity even of an enemy. It is not that these bloody deeds have been perpetrated from necessity, from circumstances however imperious at the moment; they were the acts of cool and deliberate determination, and his purpose, no less sanguinary, is again declared in the event of success in his enterprise against this Country. Feeling that even the slavish followers of his fortune were not to be forced to embark in this ruinous and destructive expedition, he declares to them, in a public proclamation, or decoy, that _when they have landed in this Country, in order to make the booty the richer_, NO QUARTER _shall be given to the_ BASE ENGLISH _who fight for their perfidious Government--that they shall be_ PUT TO THE SWORD, _and their Property distributed among the Soldiers of the
