They know that the publicis a grand machine turning on the axis of illufion, and that the hands of the government muft dexteroufly direlt it towards a profpe& ever agreeablé, So, to wipe off the impref- fion which the bad fuccels of our lait defcent at St. Malo made on the minds of the people, they are careful to prefent them with the cbjet of another enterprife, which is to finith the campaign with a coap d’eclat that our enemies little expeét ; and, the more to excite the popular curiofity, they throw a myf{terious veil over the projeét, whifpering to cne, ¢ My Lord Howe will not return agaia to the coaft ¢¢ of France, bat he’ll cut out work enough where * he goes ;" to another,” We are going to rerake ¢ that which we have /off, in order to keep that ¢ which we have taken.” B OS T O N, January 135.
