The hard fare of your sailors and soldiers, the scoundrelism of some of your officers, especially those concerned in your provision departments; but above all, your shocking cruel punishments in your navy and in your army, have lessened their attachment to their native country.
But they are worse than merely licentious: they are positively villanous; pregnant with the most redemptionless scoundrelism, cheating, lying, thieving, and fraud; their humour debauches the whole moral system; they are like the Sardinian herb, they make you laugh, it is true, but they poison you in the act.
