My reasons are that Great Britain cannot carry on the war any longer.

She may talk of her inexhaustible resources, but she well knows that the great resource, the property tax, must fail next April.

The people will not submit any longer; they are taking strong measures to prevent its continuance, and without it they cannot continue the war.
Another great reason why I think there will be peace is the absolute _fear_ which they express of us.

They fear the increase of our navy; they fear the increase of the army; they fear for Canada, and they are in dread of the further disgrace of their national character.

Mr.Monroe's plan for raising 100,000 men went like a shock through the country.
