I think Buonaparte's will one day or other be demolish'd in Italy. There wants but a Hearty Spirit in the Natives against such Invaders, to overcome them. I wish that want may not be too prevalent in our Island. I have heard, with much concern, in various parts, among the lower sorts, the People say ' we can be no worse come who may. ' This is a most frightful Idea to prevail, and I am more afifraid of it than of a Hundred Thousand Frenchmen ' Arm'd all in Proof, and led by Buonaparte. ' But ma...y we hope that Peace on any decent Terms may follow these Defeats? or will our rulers grow Cock a Whoop upon them and Hold high the Head. I shall be very sorry if they do for we are in a most alarming state with respect to Finances, and continuation of war must be utter ruin. M r Pitt raises 85 by a Navy Bill for 100, which by Act of Parliament He must pay with 5 for interest in 15 months, and which He can only do by giving (if the price continues as it is today) about 131 Five p. Cent Stock. The Foleys or any other mad extravagant Heirs of Fortune never in their minority borrow'd money on such ruinous Terms, after a night spent at the Gaming Table.
