A Mailer of Fact •
Besides various other notices of the
sailing of snips and troops lor Amer
ica one article from -Portsman h
[Erigland] dated, tne 7th\.Alay, says,
••the Dictator, Diadem /f ha mas
and Wesar, armed en flute, with 70
sail ot large transports have Sailed
ior Bordeaux to take a part of lord
Wellingtons army to the American
%flprcs.”
1 o this plain and serious fact we
wish to call the attention of our read
ers. It is no angry expressions of
“• British gab”—np editorial opinion
or shrimse—it is the simple state
ment of a fact that has.fciken pi me.
What further evidence of?”the ene
my's intentions do wc need ; Is not
this proof positive, distinct and Un
deniable, of his being resolved, and
at this moment on the way to invade
us ? ft i-i as’fciear as day tight and yet
we remain supine, inactive and irres
olute liat course to pursue. One
individual waits for another to say
what is to be done, and we snail an
wait too long before we proceed to do
what origin to be done.
