'It is a disagreeable task but there is every chance that it will fall to the lot of this country to chastise the cock-a-hoop spirit of insolent dishonesty which is gaining the ascendency in the North American Union. It will cost us some exertion and suffering; but the Americans are forcing it upon us, and they have yet to learn what Great Britain can do. The bungled business of the attempt to suppress their independence—the desultory flourish of arms of 1812, have given them a false estimate of their own and British strength. They will come to their senses when the mouths of the Hudson, Chesapeake, and Mississippi are blockaded.'
'They have yet to learn what Great Britain can do!' Really that is a rich joke. Great Britain found out, thirty years ago at New Orleans, what she could not do.
