S. House of Representatives, 19 January 1819.
IF MY recollection does not deceive me, Bonaparte had passed the Rhineand the Alps, had conquered Italy, the Netherlands, Holland, Hanover, Lubec, and Hamburg, and extended his empire as far as Altona, on theside of Denmark. A few days' march would have carried him throughHolstein, over the two Belts, through Funen, and into the island ofZealand. What, then, was the conduct of England? It was my lot tofall into conversation with an intelligent Engli...shman on this subject. "We knew (said he) that we were fighting for our existence. It wasabsolutely necessary that we should preserve the command of the seas. If the fleet of Denmark fell into the enemy's hands, combined with hisother fleets, that command might be rendered doubtful. Denmark hadonly a nominal independence. She was, in truth, subject to his sway. We said to her, Give us your fleet; it will otherwise be takenpossession of by your secret and our open enemy. We will preserve itand restore it to you whenever the danger shall be over.
