Wc have fome ’eafon to believe,
that if the hoflile fleets meet, the
French will make good ufe of
their land troops, for the pur

they have tried this experiment,
they have been fuccefsful. Since
the commencement of the pre

have uniformly endeavored to
come to dole aftion, an I to
Angle out the veflels inftead of
fighting as formerly in a compatl
