we are fallen into is not only a very wicked one, but a very
unaccountable one. It joins in a universal conspiracy against
us:- It finds us pressed by enemies: and when the junction
is formed, it behaves to us and our enemies alike without
offering us the smallest injury. It is for this offense that
we have embarked in the enterprise of punishing all
such parts of the world as are within our reach in pious
expectation of the time when it shall please God to deliver
the rest of it into our hands. It is for the sovereign dispenser
of unerring Justice to choose his own time and
his own instruments; And if in truth if hasth pleased him
to give commission to our most gracious Sovereign, as
successor to Attila to scourge the world, it is for us to kiss
the rod, and for the world to crouch to it. Of the existence
of such a commission I, for one, shall be satisfied
when I see it produced; but the rhetoric of this declaimer,
I hope, is not to pass in lieu of it.

Text. Par. II.

"The commercial advantages which this country might
derive from a Treaty with Russia, the other powers in the Baltic, together
with Poland, will be able in great measure to afford, whilst
from the wisdom of the present Administration we may expect
that such encouragement will be given to the cultivation
in the British dominions of the important articles of hemp
and timber, that the immense sums which are paid for them
to foreign nations will in time be considerably lessened."

Observations on Par II.

The political economy of this ministerial advocate is of a
piece with his foreign politics. For the credit of office, I hope
here at least he is not speaking from his brief. Sure I am he has
not got his instructions from D Smith.

To prevent us from raising the unimportant articles in
question there are no legal obstacles, nor even have been.
