By the Dublin Mail which arrived tlm

" The Spaniard have formerly given
proofs of .fuperiqr valour, talents, and uiili
Ctry fltilj. But in late iultances fome have
degenerated, and by reafon of a different
fltetn in the order of things in all Europe,
have loll that which they had in potTeftum
for f many ages. It is iixtlirpenfable, in
nrdir to prcferve the body, politic, to de
ftroy and cucoiTby the root ibis pernicious
evil. . , r , ; . ;. . '
The nay, my lord, has juft given us a

neft of the Uritifli , which was jolt beguaii
to'diminifh :i m r fall Ihort of the High opinion
Conceived of their navy. But the event has
f elevated their, arrogance, that there it no
example to equal it.
For this powerful reafon, the commerce,
which ntpports the Spanifh monarchy, is
about to be ruined by irreparable lolles.
The whole nation detefts the tartly opera

misfortune which iff about to bef.d them.

It has been fo reprefented to the di

ments which promote the honor of their
allies, they cannot look with indrfferrnte at
P vile an action, which will produce ajar

I therefore requeft, in their name, that

" The king, fir, laments with great, fin
eerity, the tmeffpet'led and fever lofs
which has befallen his tnajrlty't irms in the
late engagement with the H itifh Meet 1 and
is naturally led in fupport of his own ho

the cattle or that misfortune? but he will

Mr. Gmttah conclude this appeal rb hi
fellowcouun -y men in the following Words :
May the Singly power that forms one
eftate in our coiuftitution. rontinup for.
he commanders of the Spanifh fleet, for the ever ! But let it be as it profci.'.a to be. snd
lofs of one battle, while the Lnglifh have in
their pofielfion at this moment one half of
their navy f Ve did not hear, fir, of any
panihSment propofed by rhe Directory for
the defeat of your. impregnable fleet on the
fit of June. On the conrrary it was af
I'erted in the folemn aflembly that for the
arms "of France ever to meet the Enjjifh in
an action at lea, it was of itfelf fuftcient,
and equal m a victory. I am .(fating here
to your excellency, the hiltory of three days
only of the naval exploits of your repiblic,
but al molt every day fince it a cominence
tnent mitiht have accnltomed the ears and
the eyes of your Directory to the turpitude
of naval defeats,; therefore, previouflgto
your excellency's approaching the piclblre
of his ma jelly, where yon threaten to fpeak
your opinion of the guilt of the offers who
commanded his flrec, 1 would advife j'ou,as
a tnend nudally, to balance thr dd ji race of
two nat i.uns ; ifx tul'.e ip one bsml the uatU
as by tle principles ahd laws of rhefe conn
tries, it fliould be, one ertate pnlynd not
a power conltituting one c!tare, creating
another, and infliieuctng a third. '
May the purlia'hienrary conftitution prof
iler J. Bnt let it be-operative, independent,
and ah inrrcgnl part of the conftitht jbh, ad
vifing, confining, and feme time 'directing
the kiiigly power.
May the Houle of Commons BourHft bm
let tlie peowlehe the lole aiuhor of its ex
dlence, as they fliould be the great objeel of
its care. "J '
May the connection with Great Britain
continue ! But let the rtftdt of that con
nection be the perfect freedom, in ihe fair

and fee which weighs the heaviett. Your
Directory will then be convinced, rhat for
either of our (wo nations to attempt to
bring reproach upon the other, for their
inferiority to the other in naval (kill and

Almighty Power, who has thought it good
and proper to grant the decided fuperiorit)

M The king, my mailer, hat, in the mean
lime, commanded me to figuify to the
members of the French republic, that whe
ther it be true or nor, that it is the infirmity
of gofermnents i they (late, to be feized
with certain cancers, which contaminate
and corrupt the (late, it is aot his majelly's
intention ro follow the example of re
generated France, by applying candies and

which reafon he has no occafinn to fufpend,
