Every thing glorious in our annals, according to the usual acceptation of the term glorious, is connected with the subjugation or the humiliation of France. Cressy, Poitiers, and Agincourt, are themes on which every Englishman exults to dwell. To beat the French, has been the glory of our navy, and our peerage has been swelled with the reward of such achievements.

Those times, indeed, are gone by Bourbon and the Pope are no longer our enemies. Our navy has other flags to encounter, than those of which she gloried to sweep the seas, and Nelson himself seems almost forgotten in Wellington. But still there seems to remain, pretty generally, a feeling towards the French nation, which it would take many years of peace to subdue to perfect reconciliation; and this feeling is accompanied with a strong misgiving, that the policy which our rulers have adopted VOL.
