" It is incumbsszzzt upon us to lay bu'mc
you, without rcscrvc, our 01.i-.-'1-'>n upon
the pr-siscnt shxtccf affairs, in order that
we may be prepared for whatever may be;
the event. You who are upon the sput
have an opportunity csjudging, w'r—sih more
precision than we, ofthc state of the: cryin
paign in Amcrica; we "14" not thesselnre

opinions differ so much upon it, we may be
allowed tu sum] conjsi'ciurcs. V/e must
apologisc sur curz, because you will find
them diffsir from the general opinion; but
as that is (brmed upon the accuunts Which
government think proper to pubflsh, we:

to c-sim1'uiue those accouuts w'uh others,

lieved the whole continent to be in a (tale
osnaturc, and tho trade osymnsi place the
reverse of what you describe it; whereas
We, who see through a different mirror,
have ventured to view the prospect more
minutely, and to consider what consequen—
ccsi might cnsuc by a farther prulongation
of this unhappy chsputc. From cvzry cir
cumstancc wcssccn collcct, from our own
observation, from the information of those
who have invcltlgatcd 'sihe lubjrct lromthc
beginning of our disgmtcs With Amcrica,
We have no doubt (supposing the present
campaign to be as ineffectual as the last)
that the coloaies will remain independcm,
and be acknowledged indepcndcnt states
in the s-mm manner as the Seven Proxinccs

Would "m fime heal all auimositics, and
