800,000 will be neceflary in time of
war, and upward! of 600 during peace;

left to the mercy of an obfeure pilot, nor
any intrigue of a Cabinet ; but in all cafes,
it Ihould be ready to make head againit a

it is a new motive for redoubling our ar
dour. A great number of our cruizcrs
are fcouring the feas, and have attacked,
the commerce of our enemies in the remoi
tell regions. Our whole flotilla (hall
fhortly revive by the return to its banks ot

But all thofe warlike tr.ca Cures (hall be no

satisfaction in the growing prosperity of(A

Lord Grcnvillc professed himself in fa

from the strictness of the Navigation Act,
