It was then shown to the columns ct The Daily Hail how little we possessed "an army lit at a sudden cell tor any el the duties" which had been set forth.

The regular army was shown to have

a smaller proportional supply of,_}i.ld

Since the articles were written and endorsed by you we have escaped the danger ol a war with France over tue Feehcdn question, and escaped it through the known eiliciency ol the British lest.
