America at this time resembles the weak outworks of a fortified town, which being not tenable, the Governor destroys, to prevent the enemy's lodgment to annoy his works of greater consequence. We have no other method of saving the Leeward Islands, but by withdrawing our troops from America.
America is England's sore place; there alone we are more particularly vulnerable. The French will constantly beat on that diseased part of the wound till it becomes a mortification.
The following is a favorite toast at present:---May the king and people of England never forget the thirtieth of January.
