Text. Par 8.
"Independent of these considerations, would
it become the spirit of the British nation, to court
the alliance of the haughty and imperious Czarina,
who, when England was involved in a war with
a number of Enemies, assumed (the) an air of a Dictatrip
of the seas, and promoted every measure that
could tend to the reduction of the power of Great
Britain?
Observations on Par: 8.
My task would have been shorter if this
jargon about the spirit of a nation — courting alliances —
haughty and imperious Czarina — air of a
Dictator rid — had been left undisturbed in the Schoolboy's
Satchel, from which it was purloined. And so
we are to set Europe on fire on both sidesends, spread
slaughter and destruction over three Empires, and
four or five Kingdoms, to shew our spirit, and
that we are not courting an alliance? In return
for this declaration, let me put a question to this
candid "Partizan," so superior to the ardour of serving
a party: which of the two powers stands most
in need of being "checked and reduced"? The Power
against which such methods are employed, or the
Power which employs them?
