APDRESS-ED TO THE INHABITANTS OF AMERICA, Con
taining remarks on a late Pamphlet, entitled
COMMON SENSE:
WHEREIN are shewn, that the scheme of Independ
ence is ruinous, delusive, and impracticable : That
were the Author's asseverations, respecting the power of Am £-'
RICA, as real a, nugatory; reconciliation on liberal princi
ples wi;h Great-Britain, would be exalted policy: And
that ciicumitanced as we are, permanent liberty, and true
happiness, can only be obtained by reconciliation with that
kingdom.

A NEW AMERICAN MANUFACTORY.
EDWARD RYVES,
PAPER STAINE R,
MANUFACTURES and fells all kinds-of paper hangings,
at 61/ factory in Fine-street, Philadelphia. Ar he is
the firft and only one who has attempted such manufacture
on the Continent, and hat at a mod corfidcrable expence in
bringing over hands aid procuring other materials; and as
it consumes a large quantity of the paper of this country,
he is induced to hope for the countenance and protection of
all well withers of the infant manufactures of America; and
more especially at this time that the affirtance to, and pro
motion of every kind of manufacture, mud be the most ef
fentiai service that the inhabitants of this place can render it.
He also begs leave to assure the public, that his utmost en
deavours shall be exerted in neatness of patterns and ele
gance of colours; and notwithstanding the very heavy
expence attendant on such an undertaking, he will fell on
much more reasonable terms than any that has been
imported.
N. B. He has manufactured a few playing cards, all of
the produce of America, which he will fell reasonable, con
sidering the great puce of the materials they are made of.
