DF 3. meat inaght with at i uantity of arms on boaq; o Vie as,istau c e of the insurgents. It is now known, Gentlemen, that tea thousand men, sent from this country, would have raise the whole of the North of Germany; saved the un fortunate Scrum.; decided, perhapS, the fortune of the war; and so convinced was Colonel Scaiu. of the co-operation of a British army, that when a body of Danes, who are, in like manner clothed in red uuiformS, were detached against him, he considered them the long expected auxiliaries ; op .nc:l to them the gates .of Sp.alsnnil, and was mas sacred with all his followers ! This we, the first evil cousequeuce of our never-ceasing preparations;--the delay deprived freedoio of one` of most ardent vo taries, and the world of one of its greatest men! The preparations were announced. at last, as completed ; but during the preceding bustle, the Cabinet forgot to nominate a Geheral. The 'disputes upon this portant subject consumed two weeks more; and though tl?e Public strongly objected to the wisdom of the Choice, nevertheless, from their impatience to see thin 'armament sail, they were unwilling to cavil even about this nomina tion. But some invidious power seemed tolkwart all the projects of our hopeful Ministers; and, when the diflieulty of the appointment was, at lasi got over ; our troops Were em barked, and every thin°. was in'a state of readiness ; in that • • - moment, so ardently and impatiently wished for, the wind became suddenly unfavourable, which had been propitious for a considerable time before, and continued, with the most perverse obstinancy., to hlOw inthat direction. In the interval, the petrifying account of the Battle of Virag s raM and of the Armistice arrived ; and the Public were dreadfully . • awakened from their dream of glory and conquest to the rfilicUteOf their own' situation, and to theiniorrigible stu pidity of a Junto of trifling, restless, dilatory and impro vident blockheads. To complete this mid farce, the expedi tion, when it could render no service in the North of Europe, in the way of diversion, or conquest, sailed from our shores. And whither -to Spain utidoubtecHY. • Niai but mark, Gen tlemen, the inconceivable ignorance of the Cabinet—it was ordereil to proceed to Zealand ; where, in the event of tie greOest success, it could not answer aotirPple, worth t►►© equipment of the fifth part of the f wee that was em ployed. The consequences were worthy , of the plan, and the plan worthy the heaflti O 4 T,4 which it emanated.
