" Citizen Piefident, I ought to tell you the truth: We have the moll imposing force, the best fhipsin the world, excellent Teamen, who burn with patriotism and courage ; but I know not what lethargy prevents the execution of the plans which I have proposed. An invisible ariftocraGy maintains in our ports a criminal agi tation, which difgraccs and rums us. Thunder.' over the guilty.
