Marcu 2, 1759: FRIDAY, | NeW—Hampfluire‘_ Con:aining tlhe Frefbeft Advices . From the MONIT OR. HE Effe&s of the Lofs of Cape- Breton will be feverely felt by the French ; its Conquett is big. with the greateft Advantages o ‘the Britith Crown. By 'this Event France is deprived of the Key to her North Americin Trade, and of the Means to infult and encroach upon our Settlements 3 and is difabled from ever car- rying into Execution the Projet of con-- quering, or in the leaft confining our Colo- nies within fuch narrow Bounds, as fhould cut them off from all Commerceand Traf- fick with the Indians. By this, her Fifh Trade, the Nurfery of the French Navy, andalucrative Branchin their Merchandize is entirely knocked up, and all their Ex- pectations from the Furs, &c. bro’c down the River St. Lawrence, as far back almoft as Hudfon’s Bay, are madeabortive. And by this not only the Peace of our Plantati- ans muft be eftablithed, but the Deftru&ion it has made in their Navy, cannot fail of wdding great Influence towards forcing the French Miniftry to accept of fuch Terms as may prevent thofe frequent Effufions of Blood and Treafure, which has of late Years been occafioned by diverting the na- tural Strength & Method of making War, from Sea and our Fleets, to numerous and mercenary Armies by Land. The Conqueft of Cape-Breton has not’ only defeated the grand Defigns of our E- nemies againft our Trade and Plantations, hut cruthed them fo effectually that they :ver more will be able to make Head in ‘hofe Parts againft our Intereft. This will ‘ecure and extend our Fith Trade, and im- prove our Navigation to all the Southern Provinces in Europe, whofe Markets are hitherto ferved with Bacalao by the French "Baokers. This will deter and prevent@hem from attempting their intended Encroach- merts upon our North:weft Ttade, and by coniining the Fur Trade to BritithBottoms, -it will reftore to this 1fland the valuable Manufa&ure of Hats,which has been, fince the Treaty of Utrecht, foinduftrioufly jm- proved by the French, und.: the Prote@i- on of their Power upon Cape-Breton, that “ they are already able to underfel us in all foreign Markets. This will put an End to the Difputes about the Limitations of the Province of Nova-Scotia, and deliver the othier Colonies as far as Cape Florida from the continual Apprehenfions of Tufults and Hoftilities from that Dunkirk of North «.merica. And here the larget Ships in the Britith Navy may ride with Safety, if required in thofe Seas, and our Merchants will always find a fecure Harbour in Time of Diftrefs. Thefe are fome of the infinite Advantd-. 5, acquired by the Surrender of Cape- "#ton 5 and fufficient to difplay the Supe- ority of this' Victory, gained by a rational ointment of our Strength againtt the .itories of the Enemy 3 and to fhew at qur Succefs, and the Defeat of our E- inies, do potdepend'or_x a prodigal Pro- S, Greenwich 6o fufion of our Money in Marches and coun- ter Marches, or in Sieges and expenfive Armies, to find them Emplogent in Germany ; but vpon fuch Me‘only as our Armies, in Conjunttion with our Fleets, can execute. Where our Land Forces arecovered by a powerfulSquadron; .neither Batteries, Forts, %or Caftles can re- fift their Force ; and the molt numerous and beft difciplined Armies will never be able to prevent their Operations. = A War thus fupported by a Nation, thatis Sove- reign of the Seas, is not encumbered with Garrifons, nor expofed to the Fatigues of long and intemperate Campaigns. By this we rifque no Magazines, cannot be forced to a Battle upon difadvantageous Terms, and never wanta fecure Retreat. . : A Miniftry that propofes thefe Ends to their Meafures will always maintain their Power, and be a Credit to their Country, a Terror to their Enemies, and the Darling of the People. Under them the royal Dia- dem will fhine with proper Luftre ; and the national Interelt will triumph over eve- ry other Confideration: : o e — T c———r S An exall Lift of the French Ships of War and Frigates taken or defiroyed by the Englifb in the prefent War.
