WHEN a nation or an individual depends more upon neighbours and friends, than upon personal exertions, especially at a period of pressing emergency, the result may readily be predicted. Aide toi, et le Ceil t'aidera, is as applicable to the multitude, as to the unit in society, and the neglect of the maxim is sure to be followed by severe suffering, which requires time and energy for its cure. It would be absurd, in the present state of mankind, for England to calculate on the friendship of the great nations of the earth, or that they would passively behold the advancing power of this country, and take no measures either to restrain the augmentation of that power, or, if possible, to procure its downfall. The reasoning with which we previously essayed to prove that it is for the substantial interest of all nations, that England should be the paramount kingdom of the world, (No. 1. page 7,) will, we imagine, have little effect on the selfish and short-sighted feelings and views of countries, which stop not to consider the gigantic efforts made by England, for the preservation of peace throughout the world, and for the social happiness of mankind. England has performed-ay, more than performed-her duty to those nations; in the exercise of an almost quixotic generosity, she conceded, by treaty, all the advantages which had cost millions of treasure and the unpurchasable blood of many of her bravest sons: the reward she has received is implacable hatred-undisguised hostility-and an inveterate enmity to every thing of British interest, whenever or wherever it can be opposed. |
