not-deprive her of the main basis of her prosperity,
her internal communication; her rclation. with the
Continent, where she no 3onspr serf any but friends

will not mahrtaia itself the less, though deprived of
some materials which it is not impossible tb replace.
To this jot proposition I am rather anxious,
Gentlemen, to dire& your attention. You have ad-
vice to give, and examples to hold out to commerce.
You must already foresee the effe& of the privation
of certain materials, more especially of cotton, and
of ingredients for dying cotton, of which a quantity
has been stored up in France : that which we shall
derive from the Levant, 'and that which, at a more
distant period, we shall reap from our indigenous
culture, not unsuccessfully essayed, will sutfice to
support, in a great measure, our wand:inures ;. but
in,the vxpeelation that some of them- may experi-
ence priyhtions, we must have recourse, as tar as
possible] to hemp andllax, in order to provide oc-
cupatiou for those manufaanres who would no lon-
ger be employed with articles of cotton. it were
desirable that we could circumscribe our consump-
tion within the products of the materials the growth
of our soil, and restrain the unhappy edi.os of
habits and taste contraaed for • nunutaaures that
would lender us dependent upon foreign countries.

materials for dying may become
but many of them may be replaced by the prodnc-
tiOns of our soil. We will dispense with the rest
by a might sacrifice of spine colours, which may
please from their apparent greater beauty, without
adding any thing to the intrinsic gOgdtleSS of the
Besides, no small reliance is to be placed
on thegenius of'our marintlidurers ; it will triumph
over those rtiai:ulties.
