Unfair These defeats and disasters in America excited most rapturous applause from the friends of that people in Paris. The most alarming feature is the desertion of our forces, particularly from the army, to the Americans. It has been offered in Congress, and scarcely a doubt remains it will pass into law, to bestow 100 acres of fertile land upon every military person who would desert from our army. Naval Chronicle, London, December 1814
