What purpose, but that of a wanton insult,
could it answer to the contrivers and or abettors of
a plan of assassination, to profess themselves animated
by the sole desire of stopping bloodshed in
the face of those who knew them to be the authors
of it?
Letting one power to conquer provinces
from another without pretence of titles, at the time
that the other is labouring under the pressure of an
unprovoked and unexpected war† † viz with Turkey, and then fettering
the hands of those who owe her assistance;
such, it seems, is to be the British mode of maintaining
the political balance. If this is the way
to maintain it, what would be the way to disturb
it?
Text. Par. 4.
"Your Excellency has afterwards been witness
that the King and his allies have acted with energy,
to give the most undoubted proofs that they thought
the preservation of Sweden was of the utmost importance,
and that these Courts mutually endeavoured
to maintain obtain a cessation of hostilities
from the land and sea forces of his Swedish
Majesty, which had acted in the military operations
of the last campaign, and their endeavors
had the most salutary effects."
Observations on Par: 4.
An Englishman who knows the facts alluded
to, beholds the insolence, sees himself made a
party to it, and does not burn with generous indignation
against the authors of it, deserves to
bear the impending consequence of it.
