In making; these affitmations, we were indueod to express our selves the more dogmatically, rot only because we were convinced of' the Piet, but because we epnsi. dered the system of A4pericn as having been framed in imitation of that anti commercial policy of European Despot, which is now known by the name of t h F centinental System.
