In England, seems, by the following articles, to be a little confused in their ideas. Nelson's cannon appears to have stunned them very nearly as much as the French Depots. Indeed, I believe there is a much closer relationship between the two than the honest people of Great Britain imagine.
Porcupine.
Mr. Fox and Mr. Erskine are now the only obstinate Seceders of opposition. The plan originated with the latter, and has been adopted by the former partly from a love of ease, and partly from chagrin and shame. It seems plain that there is now nothing concerted in the proceedings of those who oppose the measures of government, for otherwise there would be some appearance of consistency, but, on the contrary, Lord Lansdowne recommends a general confederacy between Great Britain and the continental powers of Europe, as most likely to bring French ambition within due bounds, and prepare the way for a safe and honorable peace. Lord Holland, on the other hand, vehemently declaims against all alliances, as hollow and ruinous.
