Extract of a Letter from General lV»Asa

1798.
v Although I highly approve of the
meafures taken by government to place this
country in a pofture of defence*, and even
w'dii they had been more energetic ; and
Qiall be ready to obey its call, under the
refervations I have made,- whenever it is
made ; yet I am not without hope, mad and
intoxicated as the French are, that they
will paufe before they take the lift ftep.
That they have been deceived in their cal
culations on the divifioii of the people and
the powerful fupport they expefted from
their party, is reduced to a certainty :
hit is fomethin;<- equivocal [till, whe
thatparty, who hav< curie
of this country and the fource of *
pence*, we have to encounter may not be
able to continue their delufion.—What a
pity it is this expenl'e could not be taxed
upon them."
