Morning Paper of yesterday, ,(othrsiiinly the woll!

Messenger, had brought on'di day, the
nitiTe Treaty of Peace. This', 'l;ve-coilceive, to 17`

the same Paper has had the impudence to state, in I
peremptory way, a circumstance of such general
portanCe to the British Empire, and to all kuroyeP

In thus strongly' reprobating the conduct of
contemptible' Morning Paper in this Particular!
