provinces which the Muscovite has wrested from that crown in the
Baltic. _Great Britain can no longer hold the balance in that
sea_," since she "_has raised the Muscovite to be a maritime Power
there_.... Had we performed the articles of our alliance made by
King William with the crown of Sweden, that gallant nation would
ever have been a bar strong enough against the Czar coming into the
Baltic.... Time must confirm us, that the Muscovite's _expulsion
from the Baltic_ is _now_ the principal end of our Ministry."
