rity of the British Empire being tbunded on commerce, and
the Metropolis being. the emporium, it is peculiar important

ate aPpliediarnosf exelusively to accomplish the ruin of the
British Trade.

and proper Person to Represent the City of London in Par-
liament.
'Th 3. at it is the Opinion of this Meeting, Mr. Alderman
