As regards the statement of the functions: which the English navy has to discharge, it is not very diloalt to supplemont ministerial ominions. It read to be said that the Britieħ Dovy ought to be a match for the flects of any tavo other. Powera sozabined, and with one i portant qualification, this may be taken sa cor. rast. It ivory far from being correct, howevur, if this qualification is left out. Supposing, that is to say, that England had dfty ships of snch and ench size and strength, and that no other Power had more than twenty-five ships of the same size and strength, the English navy would siartainly not do a match for the navies of any two other Powara combined. It is impossible to say how much man has to spend so long as we only know the amorat of his income; w zaust also know the extent of the domands on it. The equality with any two other navies which the English aary ought to passona, is an equality of spendimar power.

No doubt the onloaista would be ready to defend themselves where defence was possible. But against trained troops it would not be passible. A single corps d'armée would scatter without diffienity any resistance that could be offered by a colonial militia, and the laws of war as inter- probed by recent decided nases are not favourable to a guerila condict.
