In reviewing the events of tne year, you will have, obferrcd that, by the lkill and exer tions of my navy, our extenfivc arid incrca fing commerce has been protected to a degree almoft beyond example, and the fleets of the enemy have for the greateft part cf the year,- been blocked up in their own ports , The operations in thc Ealt and Wcft-In.

All thefe alfcrtions are c aually falfe. 1 he Itatcments niaiie in the Engliih papers of a Miniftcr to be fent toPa- ris to treat jor peace, bring to our recollecti. on the overtures of Mr. Wickham to the Am bulladur of the U epyb'.ic at Ballc, and the re ports circulated, relative to Mr. ilammonu's miiiloa to the Court of Proflia. ;Ve liave not forgotten the infignificanr, or rather t un. nlng duplicity and punic fty'c of r. VVick hani's note. . According to the partizaus cf the Engliih Minifter, it was to Paris that Mr. Hammond was to go to propofe pcact when his dcltiiiation was pubhflied, and it was known that he wa's gone to Pruflia, the fame perlbns repeated that it Was ' to haftcn peace j and yet the well known object of th-t negociatj on was to prevail on Piulfia'to viobte the treaties with the Hepublic, ard to enter a- gain into the toalition. The Court of Berlin, faithful "to its engagements, has rejected tliefc erfdous propoiuions. Dut in making of thi intrigue a miflion of fveace, the Engliih Minifter joined to the hope of creating anew eiiemy to France,, that of juftifying. the con. tinuation ot the war to the eyes of tlie Fjigilh nation, and of throwing all the odium cf it on the French government. Such is alfo th..t of the amnions made at this tunc in the Ergliih paprri. . - ' 'l In object will appear'evident.if we con. fidrr how difficult it it that the ambitious go vc rnment of "England fiipuld wit'i finccrely fr a peace, which will deprive her of her ma ritime preixmdrratKe. re pflablifli tli I K-,.., of the lea, afford a fpring and rcfourcei to the Spanifb, Dutch and Freuch mariics and will cjrry to the grea ktll degree of profpcrU ty, theinduftry aud the commerce of France, Sp-ib, and Holiand j aatiohi b which flie ha- ' i . . - - " - i ' i ----- . es ; ana lor obtaining alt tnoie ends, it is ne ceffary to be able to adyance, that the French government refutes' all proportions of a rea-'t for5ablv peace.
