The attack of the British fleet on the island of Teneriffe, is one of those Quixotic projects that monarchy is daily adopting, and at time too when the spirit of the system is evaporated. Quixote, of old, attacked wind-mills, and was handled accordingly. The invasion of Teneriffe, in best view of the matter can only be considered as one of those bungling devices of kings to keep men wickedly busy abroad, for fear of doing mischief at home. Miserable indeed! Is not this earth spacious enough to employ mankind usefully, without the necessity of annoying each other on the watery element, in islands or on continents? They who assiduously watch the general movements of Mankind, will discover a similar system taking place in this country: and ships of war are now sticking on the stocks, or building for purposes that should be better ordered, or ordered not at all. All this, however, is a copy from the British and other king systems.—Argus.
