This however will be 110 easy nutter, and in lingland the expectation Of s.ny pacific issue 'from the ne- igociation is very taint, iixlcCd one of his majesty's ministers in parliament lists termed it a slight and distant hope." If Malta alone were the objcift of dispute, the.meeiiai.ioii of Russia and Prussia might ailjnst it.

Even were the' people of England callous to the generous sentiments of dignity and glory, they would re inspired with courage to 'defend themselves by the most sordid calculations ofprudcn'ce. They must be aware of the consequences of beingcoriquered, not.by generous rivals, but" by an army of freebooters, by the hope of plunder and'by a government, whose enmity nothing could satisfy but our utter destruction. Should there be aoj Englishmen so infamous as to speculate on the me-cy of a French invading army do not deserve to be saved from the na- tural punishment of their base delusion.

These troops, the. bravest of the Ottoman army, composed with others, the garrison ot Alexandria for some months tbey had received no pay, and their representations on this subject were without eltect. The Arnautes becoming impatient, made their officers them them to the Pacha, who from fear immediately an order to the paymaster-general, for the of their arrears.
