cotton and woollen and cotton stuffs, principally pi?' 0,-
all free of duty, are brought here every week trtehe
Havre, in the steamers ; and if, in proportion to FR,
trade of other ports in the kingdom with France, jet
importations are made at these, it must materially tirrho
the manufacture of such goods in this country.
