2693. ENGLAND, Tyrant of ocean.—[continued].

I own, that while I rejoice,
for the good of mankind, in the deliverance
of Europe from the havoc which would
never have ceased while Bonaparte should
have lived in power, I see with anxiety the
tyrant of the ocean remaining in vigor, and
even participating in the merit of crushing
his brother tyrant.—
