Britain’s cannon law over France in Asia threat
The writer argues Britain’s superior navy will force French possessions in Asia to bow to British sovereignty. He notes Madagascar and Mauritius as examples of French expansion, and predicts Spain and Madrid eventually face limits to global power as British force expands. He cites Canada Bills and Manila ransom as proof of Bourbon vulnerability. He warns against French pride and Moro cattle rhetoric, implying English strength will rebalance colonial holdings.
