on us, and then called on them to revenge

with. _ Whoever considers the nature of

observation, viz. that no 'Pory, need plume
himself on lord Duumore's success, ] willadd ,
that this success lus but served to increase
that rescntment which has been suppresi'etl
for shme tinfepzst. The people had submit
