O England! O my country ! . ., But this is not all, for magnanimity, when rightly interpreted, figuifies a ftubborn and un- yielding temper; a mind inferfible of the charms of riches, or of pleafure : it fignifies 2 proud and difdainful fpirit, that is uncapable of complying, and will hold on its own courfe through poverty and difgrace, or even death itfelf ; and if the youth of this nation are to be trained up in fach principles, judge ye,” my dear fellow citizens and countrymen, how it will be poffible togo- vern it ; there isbut one remedy, and that is in your hands. It was youa who raifed him, and you muft e'en pull him down again ; with unanimous voice you muft petition the k—g to remove him from his prefence and councils for ever ; and fo fhall you infallibly draw off our young nobility and gentry from the fludy of pernicious arts.

A weffel that arrived a few days ago at Rochfort, [rom North America, brings avord, shat the Englith, who have affembled an army of 60,000 Europeans and Americans, avere going to lay fiege to Quebec, and that the Marquis de Vaudrewil, Governour General of our fettlements in that part of the avorld, intended to fland bis gréund againfl the enemy.

The number killed was thought not to exceed 4000; but we are aflured that it is not lefs than 6000 ; and that of the wounded 7000 ; to which may be added about 8co deferters. This unexpet- ed blow much difconcerts the King’s plan of operations. Fis Majefty had wrote to Count Podewils, that if Wedel fhould fucceed, he made little doubt of Daun’s falling into the {nare he thou!d lay for him. Baut this is now {ufpended at leaft, the King having fet out in the night of the 2grh ult. to goand attack the Ruffians, or force them to retire. We reckon that Prince Henty has joined Wedel to day with 14000 men'; {0 that we expeét with the utmoft impa ticnce the news of a fecond battle.

A Commiflion is making out, to appoint the Marquis of Granby,Commander in Chief of all the Britith Forces under Prince Ferdinand, in the Room of Lord Sackville.
