he added. • that his majesty cannot permit
0 bis allies a commerce, which he denies
to himself. I his would he, at once, to do.
teat his system and oppiess his subjects, by
demanding from them, great and useless
srtci ihers ; for it <h« system he not strictly
observed every where, it cannot any where
produce the effects expected from it. Still,
he said, the property is only sequestrated,
and becomes a subject of the present nego

sufficiently frequent and free ; as this was
a meeting merely of conciliation ; and as
the closing remark of the minister, indica.
